 (from last year, but you guys are bringing up unsubstantiated trump things from ages ago, so, ya know)

 

 Guess this is why the democrats want to take everyone's guns. They don't trust their girlfriends with them. Aid to obama too, another mentally stable one. haha.

How'd the whole taking guns work out in the land of Oz, delet?

 When they took away guns, home invasions drastically went up. What do you expect, the crims are worried that someone has a gun so they don't break in when someone is home. Taking away guns from the law abiding doesn't help things, the crims can still get guns and still use those guns. So in short it made things worse not better, plus now we don't have a basic right to own a gun for self defense. In the states that are open carry in the US there is less gun crime, whereas the place with the toughest gun laws, Chicago, has horrific gun crime stats. So it doesn't matter about your 'feels', the argument has been won a long time ago and you had no right to disarm the law abiding, none.

 

 Worse still they have over the last twenty years made defending your home even without a gun more and more difficult. People are charged for attacking thieves entering their homes. This regressive lefty, the crims are the victims and the victims are the evil white patriarchy thing has to end.

Just curious: Should the right to gun ownership extend to nuclear warheads? Where between 'handgun' and 'warhead' would you draw the line?

USA is so different from Europe. Here everybody thinks it's extremely weird to possess guns except some shooting club villagers and in the US every asshole has one. There won't be any consensus so the discussion is probably useless.

 

But do you want your crazy stupid choleric neighbour to possess a weapon that can potentially kill you?

the thing about gun laws in chicago is kind of bullshit.  they have tough laws sure.. but all anyone has to do is go one or two states over.. buy 30 handguns as "Straw purchase" and take them back to chicago and sell them on the street for 100% mark up. 

 

why do you think they have so many guns in chicago? or NYC?  because people drive down to north carolina where the laws aren't so strict.. they buy a shit ton of guns and then go to the city and sell them. same thing w/gun shows.. you have strict laws but then a gun show comes to town and you wander in.. buy a gun w/o a back ground check or waiting period then you go home. 

 

i found it pretty interesting that the media fact checked clinton's claim of 33,000 gun deaths by saying that 64% of those gun deaths are suicides.. like that's some how better and not more fucked up. 

 

if there was a federal gun law uniform across the country and real background checks and mental health checks etc things we quite down some on the gun front.. if the cops didn't have to arrest 800,000 people a year for weed possession and could focus on gun crime and had room in the prisons and the courts had time to process the cases then things would quite down.. but priorities are all fucked up and private prisons and blah blah blah.. 

 

we can have guns and not have it be all hysteria all the time but people are irrational and think that heaven forbud the FBI or ATF has a list of everyone who owns a gun that it means they aren't free.  wtf. 

 

the 2nd amendment wasn't even an issue.. neither was abortion.. until a bunch of conservatives had a conference call and said "hey, what issues can use to rally the base and the religious people so we can build our conservative movement?"  and they started throwing out topics... "how about guns.. how about abortion"

 

this is documented and there are interviews with conservatives discussing this very thing. they make an issue out of something and use it as a wedge. and a fund raising tool. 

 

and 20 or 30 years later here are. all hysterical and stupid. yay! 

 

is this shit show over yet? 20 more days right?  fuck. 

 

 

edit: the NRA used to be a gun safety organization.. when they got all radical a bunch of the safety people who were hunters making sure kids didn't blow off their fingers.. left the NRA.

Anyone who can't drive stick. Sad! Here if you do your driving test with an automatic, you get a note on your license that you can only drive automatic.

Nobody is threatening to take all Americans' guns away though. I'm not sure how this idea got into peoples' heads.

What about this then?

 

In the 18 years to 1996, Australia experienced 13 fatal mass shootings in which 104 victims were killed and at least another 52 were wounded. There have been no fatal mass shootings since that time, with the study defining a mass shooting as having at least five victims.

Nice try. If you look at the numbers since 1996 there are over 1 million homeowner deaths committed by gun-wielding burglars who now live in the houses they infiltrated and have been awarded numerous official medals while the corpses of the owners are duly arrested, tried and convicted of assault for harming the robber bullets.

 

*those* are the facts.

[Audioblysk]

Fucking lol. I though delet was being funny. Either way it was funny. Worked as well as it possibly could have.

 

I had no idea it plummeted Australia into a hellhole after getting rid of guns... my eyes have been opened

I reserve the right to own dirty bombs and shit, in case the government becomes all totalitarian and shit, like for instance if Obummer the libtard cuck tries to take away our dirty bombs and shit, I'll fuckin' blow us all away and shit, just like the founding fathers intended (when they weren't beating and raping their slaves and shit)

 

I am the anointed one and shit, thrust forth from the darkness into the domain of man and shit, appointed by our lord and savior to raise my sword against the tyranny of man and shit...but mostly, I just enjoy owning weapons

Yes, I know. What about it? All I said was that there are no plans to take all Americans' guns away. 

 

Also, it's fun to shoot things.
