The constitution as a legal document is meaningless, a state never follows its own set rules, it routinely works outside the lines justified by whatever it dictates and whatever interpretations needed

I think it is the mythos surrounding the constitution which propels the 2A debate, rather than legalism itself

and its done in places where its not legal too

Bro if you're going to respond to my post you could atleast read it. There's a key sentence in there

agreed 100%. but its the leading excuse used as to why americans NEED their gun rights.

Cool

Its called a crime, make it a crime everywhere

new villain just dropped

Yeah the US isn’t Australia or Iceland, go figure!

i did, shortbus.

"Peace & Joy"

Yeah, simply put, I think guns hold too much cultural power over the American "soul" to have something done about them in regards to regulation.

yeah because criminals who are known for committing crimes will stop doing things because theyre now considered a crime.

congratulations you solved the firearm crisis!

Then why you talk about banning when I specifically said it doesn't mean banning

@Lou you need to repost your gun control points to this page because they were really solid.

Because whether its a ban or some sort of "common sense" reform, it only applies to people who are going to follow the law regardless.

This is what I mean, this is the ethos of American Evangelicalism and things like Manifest Destiny and the various other settler-colonial adventures the Americans went on

It is fundamentally about power and who wields it

At the end of the day I could give a f*** about gun rights. I’m not even a gun owner. I simply don’t believe more restrictions would help.

Yup, so exactly why does loosening gun sale regulations continue to happen?

I stg people who say s*** like this have early onset dementia and were born in houses full of leaded paint

Yall are acting like mass shootings are an inevitability

Is Biden saying anything worthwhile or is he just saying “muh republicans”

He addressed the situation and went back to the original intent of this

Don't even get me started on how "common sense" gun laws primarily target low income/minority firearm owners whilst whites and law enforcement continue to stockpile literal military grade weaponry.
