MODERATORS
Cute little comments score internet points, but you're not helping me change the world. In fact, you're only pushing liberal gun owners like me away. Was that your intention?
You are not helping the debate. You are only hurting. Engage honestly, and be willing to listen, as I am, or STFU.
Yeah. Valuing firearms over human life isn't a leftist, or even liberal, thing. It is a monstrous. And I am not going to comrpomise on human life. Because, again, monstrous.
Also,if you can stop masturbating furiously over dead kids for a few seconds, you might see that I was actaully arguing for a "common sense" gun law of just banning assault rifles/AR-15s on account of the .223/5.56 round having significantly higher penetration over most handgun rounds AND being spectacularly monstrous when moving through human tissue. But apparently, unless people are protecting your gun's rights, they are "not listening"
But hey, thanks for being yet another gun nut who wants to make it clear that nothing is more important than THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS (and shoot kindergartners).
Again, you're hurting us all with shit like this. Now we are two more people who cannot have a sane conversation, cannot solve this, work for a better world.
The 2A exists, cannot be realistically overturned, and the courts uphold it to be a personal right to gun ownership. That statements are facts, not opinions. Those facts must be met head on, without the emotional vitriol you bring to the table.
Great thing to note! My 70's elementary science teacher changed my life for the better, in 100 different ways. One thing she taught, every damned year, was "opinion vs. fact". And the idea that emotions had no bearing on factual evidence. I was bored stupid. "Fine. Who doesn't get this by now?"
You don't get it.
