The Second Amendment must go

Agreed. We need to ban guns and the sooner the better. It is a bloodfest here in Milwaukee with over 125 dead this year of which nearly all were gun homicides.

Let's shred the constitution because a large number of gang bangers in Milwaukee are shooting each other..

Are guns really the problem? If by some miracle all the guns in Milwaukee were removed would there be peace and happiness in the streets or would gangs and drug dealers find another way to kill each other?

How many of those homicides were with legally purchased and owned firearms?

Go fuck yourself.

Wow, someone is a cranky princess. :sneaky:

Subtract suicides and killings related to gangs and drugs (I.e., killings done with illegally owned firearms). You are probably left with a pretty small number.

Your approach equals all out civil war in which the gun owners win.

so the gun owners would fight the non-gun owners or the military, who would be enforcing this?
My money is on the military.

So we're going to pretend that there's not a huge overlap between people serving in the military and people who think they should be able to personally own guns? In this unrealistic situation it'd be the military fighting itself.

There are more former military who own guns than there are active duty military who use guns in their MOS.

My bet is that if ordered to fire on Americans that many of our active duty military would kill the people issuing those illegal orders and the remainder wouldn't stand a chance against older people with years and years of combat experience and the proven wisdom to implement it.

In the aftermath of that civil war the people who aided and abetted the usurpation of the Constitution and, in doing so, committed treason would face summary military justice.

See, if you're going to unleash the military then do note that they may not end up on your side. A number of dictators throughout history have learned this the hard way.

I read a story where a guy drank Drano to kill himself.

my dad went to school with a kid who tried to kill himself drinking drano

it didn't work, but his voice got all messed up, so after that everyone called him drano

surprisingly he is still alive to this day

Did he start a death metal band? Cause he should.

A banner in Bangkok, observed on 3 June 2014, informs the public that "like" or "share" activity on social media could land them in prison. The banner says this is "for the sake of the monarchy".

Thai protesters against the coup used the three-finger salute from The Hunger Games film series, symbolising their opposition to the coup.[132] The three fingers represent equality, liberty and brotherhood.[133] The military announced that it will arrest anyone who uses the salute.

He does have that corn cob wedged in there pretty well.

no he didn't, he is a mechanic

but yeah, he should have started a death metal band... and called it drano

 

[motsm]

So lets just say it got to the point where the government was going to take the citizens guns, who exactly would they get for the job? Those in the police and military are almost entirely pro gun, so good luck convincing them to do it.

I think he just meant to say what I said but with fewer words.

 

[BoberFett]

You mad bro?

Nope, but I'm sure you and the OP are.

 

[NAC4EV]

Nope, but I'm sure you and the OP are.

Ouch! you burnt me...

 

[BoberFett]

Someone from the country that bans carrying cutlery in public probably isn't the best judge for idiocy. Or for judging threats, unless you're deathly afraid of a mass killing by someone using a fish deboner or deadly instrument of cheddar cheese slicing.

Don't forget other UK classics, such as ignoring mass incidence of rape because the perpetrators were Muslim, and nobody wanted to appear "racist" by investigating.

So yeah, it's pretty funny when the UK accuses the US of being backwards.

 

[BoberFett]

Oh look, it's the ghetto fab version of me.

Nice cornrows, Cupcake.

[SparkyJJO]

The one with fewer stupid restrictions on rights since mass shooting deaths are statistically insignificant. From 2000-2014 the U.S. had 133 mass shootings with 487 dead. That's 34 annually, in a country of roughly 310 million. So in a given year my risk is 0.00109%. For context, drowning deaths were 1,400 times more common in the U.S. And it's not even in the Top 40 causes of death.

Hey now, don't go throwing hard numbers and facts into this, that ruins the entire emotionally-driven freak out going on.

 

[ivwshane]

Threads like this are always fun to watch. Hypocrite righties always make an ass of themselves!

"Ban guns!"

"The right to own guns is in the constitution!"

So is the post office but that hasn't stopped them from trying to shut that down.

"There is too much gun violence!"

"Not really. If you remove gang violence, suicides, it doesn't amount to much. Any reaction over such a small amount would be stupid!"

Hasn't stopped the right from enacting voter ID laws that address an issue with an even smaller impact, percentage wise.

"You want to ban or make it harder for people to get them when most are law advising citizens?"

The right wants to infringe on the rights of Americans because of a miniscule amount of people of one particular religion want to do us harm.

Etc, etc, etc...


We should totally ban guns though, just so those "American Patriots" can revolt and kill their fellow Americans who disagree with them, you know, because demacracy or something.

 

[compuwiz1]

I get a good laugh at the way liberals go after the 2nd and the NRA, like they are the cause of the craziness that has been happening. Nothing but the mentality of those people is to blame for their murderous activity and they will find a way to maim and kill, with or without guns. Start taking the majority of people's rights away because of the actions of a minority and we're talking civil war. The majority isn't having any of it.

So to those who wish to infringe.....Fuck Off!

It's interesting.. gun control is such a scary word to extreme right wingers, when in truth most in the slight right, middle and left would have zero problem with a responsible person having a gun to protect their property.

What gun control activists don't want however is the wild west, daily gun violence or something I happened to see recently..

Not far from my work on the way home in a Pathmark department store.. this one lady has her baby on the shopping cart, she goes in front of the cart to pay.. the person behind her is there with his wife and kids, leans over to fetch a divider so he can put the divider and then some of his stuff on the rolling belt and the lady starts talking shit about how he's a pedophile for approaching her baby and will kill him outside with her gun. He said whatever.. continued putting stuff on the belt and she threw stuff at him. Then it became a fight. Security had to kick them both out.

If I'm forced to choose between 2nd amendment rights which guarantees everyone a gun and gun control which can prevent crazies like her having guns while regular normal people are ok.. I think I'll choose for gun control so that the crazy lady doesn't have a gun.

 

[Ronstang]

Which one of you liberal idiots, with absolutely no clue how anything works, is going to come and take all of my guns and ammo from me....and my friends?? It would definitely be interesting, you wielding a sign and a bad attitude an me wielding....well, just about everything on Clinton's assault weapons ban list.

 

[MongGrel]

I thought you were going to take it out and chow down?

You're really thinking wrong again per usual, and I have no idea were you got the notion that I had ever thought that to begin with.

Must be more personal projection on your part.

Your very good on being a bit narrow minded like that.
