It's fine, you know? It's part of what sets America apart, and we should be as proud of it as we are of the first ammendment.
However.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with passing smart laws to help keep guns out of the wrong hands. Things like a 5 year waiting period for anyone that has been recently removed from the terrorist watch list, or people on no-fly lists.
It's not as though the constitution or the language of the amendments are absolute. The supreme court has already decided this. If you want a simple example, it was made illegal to shout "fire" falsely in a theatre, clearly against the first ammendment, right?

Because nobody is in charge of it. Don't assume well regulated means the same now as it did 250 year ago. Well regulated simply means in proper order.

What you paint chip snacking retards fail to understand, is that the only thing a primate respects is power. If you did a minimum of research, you would see that civillian access to firearms is absolutely positive for society.

Seriously, i can quote stats and anecdotes all day, but youd learn nothing. Instead, just try this: for once in your intellectually deprived life, briefly accept your oppositions arguments, and look for data that supports their claims. Dont worry, you can go back to nibbling dried paint at you convenience.

The fact is if you have no means to defend yourself, there will inevitably be someone around to exploit that weakness, be it your street corner crack dealer or the goverment or anything in between.

Are you really that naive to think the US military would actually turn on its own? You think that if the CiC says to roll tanks into a city, that they would all just say "Ok" and do it? How do you think the population en-masse would respond? Btw, the US armed forces has less than 10,000 tanks. How many of them would they send against just little ole me? How many of my 80+ Million brothers and arms would stand for that? Think again (if you can).

A "regular" militia, as has been said here >>690949849 , is one that is functioning properly and well.

It's like the use of "regular" to describe a GI tract that is functioning well to provide a body with nourishment.

Words change their meaning over time, and that "gay" means homosexual today doesn't mean that all those old Hollywood movies where people sing about being "happy and gay" are somehow a celebration of their homosexuality.

So read with that understanding, the Constitution and Second Amendment counsels us that a well-armed, well-trained, prepared to fight *populace* is absolutely essential for the existence of a free America.

Which is why the oligarchy is working so hard to destroy it.

The wealthy who would enslave us are our common enemy, and have always been.

Republicans are always so dense.

I'm really conflicted on the 2nd Amendment - on the one hand the libertarian in me thinks that government should impose restrictions on personal liberty only when absolutely necessary, but on the other, the 2nd Amendment was written a long time ago, and weapons have since become exponentially more powerful, so it does make sense that we need to adapt our laws to modern realities. Frankly, I think the laws we have in place right now make sense for the most part - there should be a high barrier to ownership of a 50cal machine gun, but very low barriers to ownership of hunting rifles. The problem is where we draw the line, and frankly I don't think there's a good one.

Personally I think the most sensible thing would be to limit magazine sizes - there will always be crimes committed with firearms, but if we limited magazines to 6-rounds-or-fewer (picking a random number here) we could pretty well eliminate the worst shootings without taking away anyone's ability to use a firearm for self-defense, hunting, target shooting, etc.

Mental health checks that strip rights from anyone who has gone to war, sought counseling, has had depression, etc. It will lead to a 2nd class of citizen that doesn't have rights. The 2nd amendment is not a right that you have to prove you are worthy to receive, it's a right you already have - the constitution doesn't give you the right, it reaffirms you already have it.
And I'm not a Republican.

Anyone trying to have a discussion about a politically charged topic needs to understand disinformation. To use a military analogy, disinformation is deception and prevention of communication, functioning like cognitive chaff, or signal jamming).

Don't make the mistake of believing everyone is arguing sincerely. Many are paid to intentionally impede and prevent sincere discourse.

They might be paranoid and dilusional, and usually are, but without checks in power people will overstep that line. How about the the major issue of civil forfeiture without arrest that has rampant for the past 10 years. Logic would say that nobody could legally take your money, file no charges, and never give it back. Abuse of power says otherwise. It's a slippery slope when you ignore slight infringements of your rights because "they would never do that". They will, they will always do that, because they can, it's a question of how many small steps it takes to get there.

>You will have the right to bear arms, but only after passing a mental health check that proves your loyalty to the US
hahaha, I've been having a bad day but that actually made me laugh. Thanks.

For those who can't see why that statement is so hilarious, remember the ultimate purpose of the Second Amendment is to *fight the government when it becomes too tyrannical*.

So this poster is essentially saying "Don't worry, you can have your rights - which is already a joke because that implies rights are a grant from authority, when they're inherent properties of being human - as long as you prove you'll never use them."

Shill on, brother. Shill on.

>>690952764
The FBI was watching him, but at the time he wasn't suspicious and they stopped. The proposal I detailed would have prevented this.

The local cops had nothing. The gun shop called b/c the shooter asked for body armor, then left. No purchase, no record, no surveillance tape was saved. What can the police do about that?
>>
The amendment was made when you could fire maybe one potentially lethal round every 15 seconds out of a dinky piano with the accuracy of an arthritic blind man, but no yeah we should totally be proud to be one of the only "civilized" countries where we have the right to gun down dozens of people in seconds because someone felt like.

It WAS actually 1 of the proposals that failed to pass a vote, which I would expect you to know as a prerequisite to having this debate.

Maybe you would be more interested in the 1 thing that Republicans DID pass, which expanded the power of the FBI instead of trying to stop the sale of guns to ISIS.
Seems like you wouldn't be a fan of either based on your previous statements, but I'm pretty sure you just have no idea what you're talking about. Bye girl.

Originally the Bill of Rights was a limitation on the power of the federal government, true. As such, a State (assuming it didn't have something in its local constitution) could, say, bad free speech as much as it liked.

However as a result of the 14th Amendment, the rights stated in the Bill of Rights have steadily been applied to state and local government too, through a process called incorporation.

Not all rights have been incorporated in this way, but most have. Free speech in 1925, free religion in 1940 and so on until the 2nd Amendment was fully ruled incorporated in 2010.

U.S. Military Aid To Rebels In Syria To Include Automatic Weapons, Mortars, And Rocket-Propelled Grenades

WASHINGTON, June 14 (2013) (Reuters) - The United States is likely to send weaponry like rocket-propelled grenades and mortars to Syria's rebels after President Barack Obama approved arming the insurgents, sources said on Friday.

Obama asks for authorization to provide direct military training to Syrian rebels

The Obama administration asked Congress on Thursday to authorize $500 million in direct U.S. military training and equipment for Syrian opposition fighters, a move that could significantly escalate U.S. involvement in Syria’s civil war.
Money for the assistance, which would expand a CIA covert training program, is included in a $65.8 billion request for the Pentagon’s Overseas Contingency Operations, or OCO.

You realize a mass shooting doesn't have to have a single casualty right? Under the newest definition only 4 people including the shooter and law enforcement must be injured in any way. Other places have stabbings, stonings, beheadings, and shootings. It's all about where you get spoon fed from.

Referring back to >>690952238 (how to recognize disinformation)

Rule 5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as “kooks”, “right-wing”, “liberal”, “left-wing”, “terrorists”, “conspiracy buffs”, “radicals”, “militia”, “racists”, “religious fanatics”, “sexual deviates”, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

(Notice how many pro-government posts in this thread and others are merely content-free epithets such as "retard" "nigger" and "cuck.")

Here's the thing right? A few days after the Newton shooting there was a case in China where some guy stabbed like 28 people.

Sounds more like people are the problem. My guns haven't moved to kill someone all day. Pulse had so many die because they waited hours and bled out.

Now you're talking other countries and that includes a lot of other variables. If you care for science at all, you know you need a "control" or "similar circumstances" to accurately compare and draw conclusions, and that you can do here in the US.
So, within the same country, operating under most of the same laws (still subtle variation by state, city, etc of course). You can compare cities or states to see the effectiveness of "gun control".
Chicago, DC, NY, and Detroit has some of the strictest gun law in the nation, yet has some of the highest violent or gun related crime in the nation as well, whereas places like Kennesaw, GA (famed for the "everyone must own a gun" law) has one of the lowest crime rates period.
You can also take into account that out of all the mass shootings in the last 20 years, all but 1 was in a "gun free zone".
Would armed citizens in all those situations stopped people from dying? Possibly, but not likely, there are still a lot of variables in a situation like that, but you can compare statistics where a terrorist/nutjob/etc went unopposed compared to those where an armed person was present. In those instances, the "killing spree" never even gets into double digits when someone armed is there to stop them, but in the genuinely "gun free" places it's happened, it's double-digits every time, and often high at that (20+, and 50 in Orlando being the highest of the last 15 years).
In addition to all that, "gun regulation" still doesn't account for stopping criminals/terrorists armed with alternate weapons, knives aside, what about suicide bombs (which are already banned/illegal)? ...or consider that 9/11 let to 3,000 deaths with... no... guns... at all. If someone or several were armed on those planes there is no fucking doubt the twin towers would still be standing.

youre right, my slightly exaggerated claim of how often these mass shootings happen totally invalidates my claims. My bad.

Also you yourself made that claim. If you say that it's irrelevant that all the victims survived in the stabbing while all the victims died in the shooting, then you are saying that being alive or dead is essentially the same thing. If you think the existence of a gun in one scenario and the lack of a gun in the other scenario has nothing to do with the vast difference in fatalities, then you are an idiot.

You can't kill somebody with a video game. I mean, you can, but you'd have to be committed.

There's a perfectly reasonable argument for owning a gun, I support private ownership. But that argument isn't comparing them to material goods like they're a fucking pair of LeBrons or a waifu statue.

A few points:

-Assault rifles did not exist when the second amendment was written.

-There has to be a line drawn somewhere. I don't think you should be able to walk into a grocery store with a fucking bazooka.

-I really don't know a single liberal that wants to ban all guns. Conservatives live under this delusion that the slightest form of gun control will lead to no citizen being allowed to even own a pistol.

>>• Young people are routinely able to get their hands on games that are rated "M" (for mature) or "AO" (adults only). Three-quarters of parents who were surveyed said they "always" or "sometimes" check the ratings on their kids' games. And yet, half of boys who were questioned listed a game with an "M" or "AO" rating as one of their favorites, compared with 14% of girls.

Guns are fun and I have no issue with them, I've got a hunting rifle and a .22 in my closet they're great fun and I've done some moose and deer hunting. The issue I have is the types of gun that are available in the US, you don't need an assault rifle to have fun and you don't need a handgun to have fun.

I'd say that Washington's militia was recognised seeing as there was a full blown war happening, doesn't matter if they're officially recognized as an army.

Currently the US has some organized and sanctioned militia organisations, if you're part of one, go nuts with the guns I don't care. Then again if your only reason is "home defense" you can just fuck off, no one's going to invade your home and chances are if someone does you're gonna be shitting yourself and letting them do whatever.

>>690960621
Listen here. Who bought you those games? Someone who was over the age? The regulation was to make it so that underage kids couldn't walk into a store and buy an M rated game.

In the USA, age ratings on games (or rather, non pornographic games) is strictly voluntary. There is no law requiring it or enforcing it. The ESRB and the resulting enforcement by retailers, is strictly self-regulation.

All attempts to back up the ESRB by law have failed as violations of the 1st Amendment.

>Currently the US has some organized and sanctioned militia organisations, if you're part of one, go nuts with the guns I don't care
US law states that all able bodied males age 18-45 are part of the militia
And the Supreme Court has ruled that the people, not the militia have the right to keep and bear arms

>The issue I have is the types of gun that are available in the US, you don't need an assault rifle to have fun and you don't need a handgun to have fun
Since when has need ever had anything to do with it?

It's pretty obvious ... Where ordinary people have guns, they will be used.

The more gun coverage, the more usage.

>. Kind of like how stricter background checks would prevent criminals and terrorists from buying guns.
but they don't..... legal people buy guns and legally and then may commit a crime

but criminals more often than not commit violent gun crimes with ILLEGAL guns buddy. so the idea of adding further restrictions to people who already follow the laws is asinine. do you know what asinine is kid?

FBI homicide rate.jpg
40 KB, 693x523
The FBI reports that even as the number of guns (including the horrible, demon-machine "assault weapons") has increased, the number of homicides has *decreased*.

https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014/tables/table-1

On a per-capita basis the homicide rate has just hit a 50-year-low (iirc). And since in that half-century millions and millions of ever-more-powerful guns have entered public ownership, we have direct, clear, objective evidence that more gun ownership *reduces* deaths.

I'm all for the right to own guns. Guns are awesome. What I'm not for is any asshole being able to get one. Just like a driver's license if you can't be trusted you don't get one.

well you can't quite say exactly that but you neither can you say that increased gun ownership or the manufacturing of high powered "assault rifles" is definitely not a correlation

Welp, there are different sources...

According to this one, US is in good neigborhood with... Uruguay and Montenegro ^^ lol...

>>690961917
Oh they get them illegally? Well dang. If only there was something we could do to try and stop people from getting guns illegally. Some kind of stricter regulation on guns in general so that all the sales were better monitored so it wouldn't be easy for people who shouldn't have them to get them.
>>
>>690962251
guess what? based off of this shitpost alone i have deemed you not fit to own a gun OR have a license. deal with it

there will always be illegal guns you idiot... jesus christ.. you want to stop a massive influx of guns? build a fucking wall with mexico. right there

Buddy, people get guns illegally in germany, too, but dude, compare the gun violence rates.

It's not illegal buying, it's the overwhelmingly easy availability of guns throughout the whole society.

Illegal gun means also stolen gun - but - the more guns - the easier to steal one...

Cars are not constitutionally protected

And who's to determine who can be "trusted"? The person who pays the most to the people in charge?

Lmfao Wikipedia... you just increases your credibility to expert!!!

This would be a start. Just raising the limitations for the stupid and the frustrated to obtain guns.

But it would just be a start, no problem-solver.

>fuck your guns. Give us the insurrection we deserve
Fuck you and your entitlement. I'm not taking a bullet for your lazy ass. You want something, fight for it.

Said more eloquently by Samuel Adams:
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

>>690962493

Look at germany - you can illegally buy AK's here but heard of any mass shootings?
>>
>>690961917
And when guns are illegal, the blackmarket price goes way up and restricts access even further. Try harder fag, or just be honest and stop hiding behind the second amendment: you like owning a gun because it's fun to shoot or it makes you feel tough, literally no other reason.
>>
>>690962613

What a noble goal you guys have, protecting the right to mass murder. Great fight you guys chose to back here.

Did you forget more people die in car crashes than are killed by guns?
>>
>>690962596
so your plan is to outright "reduce guns" (kek sure)
how do we do this?
will the good guys turn theirs in and then all the bad guys will follow suit?
will the bad guys stop wanting to be bad guys once it is easier to rob people who don't have the means to defend themselves?

are we going to collect all these guns up and smelt them down somewhere, then what? throw them in the ocean? are we prepared to take a massive hit in our economy by taking gun ownership on a whim?
will the government reimburse people for the property they will seize from them? will that money come from taxes?

have you thought ANY OF THIS through?
because it really doesn't seem like it

oh fucking really? honduras and el salvardor are pretty safe this time of year. are you planning any trips?

okay all of those reasons plus some... it's also called a right you fucking faggot. kind of how the 1st amendment gives you the right to say stupid shit on the internet.
do you think people on chinese or north korean severs can say shit like this on the internet?
nope?

Actually no, that's not the purpose and it doesn't give you that right, but nice shitpost you got me to reply

>>690963069
No I didn't. The fact that it's easier to get a gun than a driver's license and there are still assholes who can't drive and accidents just proves that their are assholes who shouldn't own guns who do

Just compare the number of homicides - lesser guns, lesser homicides.

You amerifats are dieing of gun violance big time, but are defending this shity everyone-can-pull-the-trigger-policy till your own end. This is so ridiculous that discussing it is even pointless.
>>
The founding fathers never expected communications technology to be what it is today. Millions can be influenced in one click.

We should repeal the first amendment.
>>
>>690962316
Yeah, to be just as skeptical of my own stats as the fear-mongering, those two are merely correlated, not causal. (For example, we have no idea whether all the new guns are owned only by previous gun owners, and the decrease in per capita is mostly a result of simple population growth. So it might be causal, but we don't know for sure.)

The goal was to point out the screams that gun violence, and specifically the chance of being killed with a gun, is increasing and out of control are nothing but fear-mongering propaganda.

I was trying to express that quickly, balancing lengthy exposition against the risk of thread 404 - and realized with regret after I'd posted that I could have worded that last sentence more accurately. Mea culpa.
>>
>>690963069

This comparison is not only ridiculous, but also pointless. You, sir, are a retard.

You can kill someone with a:
Knife
Gun
Ballpoint pen
Compact disk
Kitchen sink
Edible panties
Fishing hooks
Salt shaker
Etc

... But you have to be committed to doing it. Thanks for proving the argument that people are the problem.
