also i'm hardly a survivalist nutjob but if they start confiscating guns even that kinda sets my alarms off regarding the bill of rights and all

we kind of painted ourselves into a corner with that but if they want to do gun confiscation poo poo in a way that i'm not freaked out by it had better at least be an amendment or something otherwise thats huge precedent to loving other rights away but IDK i'm kinda drunk of course. if guns need to go away (which I'm quite alright with intrinsically) do it in a constitutionally sound way otherwise whats the point.

but then again its 2017 and trump is president i dont know why i care because anything about rule of law or governance is getting poo poo on anyway gently caress it

I meant more as a reason against allowing all rifles while banning handguns. Handguns are more practical for personal/home defense and more able to be protected against.

Guns are more entrenched in society than free speech. Guns aren't going anywhere.

which is the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk IRT police and de-escalation.

Guns are so entrenched in the psyche of Americans that cops get to use "i just wanna make it home to MUH FAMILY" excuse.

Which if you think about it long enough, should NOT fly in a country of around 9 million registered gun owners, with a strong gun ownership culture.

i mean i get that it was kind of my point.

i dont get why people say ban guns because unless you confiscate it's meaningless unless you're willing to wait out them being priced out due to rarity which would be on the magnitude of decades at least

unless they confiscate which would literally probably be the start of Civil War 2 poo poo. I cant say for sure which side I'd be on.


then people say "lol americans with shotguns wouldn't stand a chance against the us military" but then I look at afghanistan and iraq and uhh

No one is going to confiscate anything ever. Any changes in laws will affect manufacture and sale only (with some meaningless buybacks as a feel-good measure), and any impact will take at least a generation.

i live in a rural area so i dont really understand the people who want guns banned. what exactly are you supposed to do about pissed mountain lions, or rabid bears. usually you can just scare off large wildlife like that because they typically aren't interested in people. but mountain lions especially occasionally stalk and attack people so it's like, either you can have a gun semi-handy or you can just never go outside after dark

We may not be able to ban guns but we should definitely find a way to limit speech that promotes guns. Inciting another person to get a gun should be a crime.

Congress has incenitivized pocket sand in nonlethal confrontations and you'll receive a tax voucher in 6-8 weeks

Deathclaws require an inspection permit which you may or may not have left at home

Laser halberd when used is a great vehicle for depreciation against your reported income

It's pretty hosed up on a lot of levels if a government says, "we definitely don't want you to have individual access to the means to protect yourself, because y'all can't be trusted to handle it, but we don't care if you vote."

i would be okay with the police ROE making cops as hesitant to pull triggers as we were when i was deployed.

lol yeah I can't imagine how much trouble I'd be in if I shot some dirt farmer for reaching for his weapon after I screamed OGAF at him 3 times like a goddamn maniac and then threw 7 hot ones at him when he wouldn't loving stop.


WHAT AN UPROAR THERE WOULD BE IN THE COC THAT DAY I TELL YOU.

When I was deployed I was a bloodthirsty fucker and started looking at being a cop simply because I wanted to be able to shoot people.

I didn't know it was actually possible to do it and get away with it like that.
