Something to think about before calling it a night

Fair enough. What false propaganda does the gun manufacturing industry push?

But before you reply, keep in mind that bearing arms has been not only a right but a necessity for most of American history.

During the wild wild west days, a rancher or farmer needed a gun for a defense because there was no real law enforcement. Over the years, the need to defend your “ranch” eased as communities invested in local police forces and security. This allowed people to leave their ranches in relative safety and expand commerce.

In modern days, we can now leave our homes to pursue a living wage. Security always helps prosperity.

But what happens when this security begins to break down? Police forces are demoralized, under manned or the courts refuse to take criminals off the street? Businesses begin to suffer and board up, frustrations rise, crime increases and the general populace is left unprotected. Politically, we are moving in this direction, not away from it.

At this point, the poor or the marginalized suffer (as they always do under tyranny). They have no way to defend themselves or create a well armed militia. This situation has a boiling point and rogue bad actors step up and take control of our streets. It is happening as we speak. Gangs are moving into sections of Atlanta. They are dominating some sections of the city and businesses are closing. People are being victimized here and all across the country.

In my opinion, not a good time to be disarmed. If you want to place a waiting period on a gun or raise the age, fine. You will FEEL safer, but you won’t BE safer.

Harden the schools, put in a good guy with a gun. That way our kids are actually safer. Politicians know this, they have been practicing it for decades at home and at work.

Exactly! There was a major shift in 2020. You dont like whats going on? Fine, you can burn, loot, destroy the police station, occupy several city blocks all summer, and kill innocent business owners just trying to make a living. Dont worry about it, the judicial system wont prosecute you for it. But dont you dare go against their narrative, or you will be the one called a racist, murderer, and spend time in prison.

Yes. Have armed guards at every school, and give every single faculty member the right to have a secured gun in their classroom! Anybody looking to cause chaos wouldnt know who or what rooms have a gun! Put signs around the entire building saying “If you look to harm our children you will be met with lethal force!”
Then, lets see how many school shootings we have!

This is why BLM and ANTIFA will not come to Florida. It’s called consequences.

So, if you’re eligible for Social Security, and are also at the age you can’t trust your farts anymore, do you feel that you should go ahead and collect Social Security and worry that you can depend on it? Or do you buy Depends and fart without any worries? :thinking:

The goal of any manufacture of any product is to sell more product. Who do you think promoted that idea that the answer to gun violence is more guns? Or, “buy them now while you still can.” It’s slick marketing campaigns to sell more guns. Plus, if the gun manufactures can fuel the controversy they can sell more product.

”The Gun Industry’s advertising has misled consumers into believing that guns make them safer, while deaths and injuries from gun violence have only risen.”

Can you post a link to this advertisement claim or is this just your assumption?

It’s a quote, that is why it was in quotes and italics. I posted the “link to the advertisement claim”.

With 393,000,000 registered firearms in the United States I’m amazed at how responsible the vast majority of these gun owners are.

Every gun owner is aware the Libtards are anti-gun and pro abortion. If Biden wants to come and take my guns he’s more than welcome to cross my threshold.

There’s that phrase again. I really don’t get it!!

So much to unpack here. Was I dreaming when Beto said “hell yes we are coming for your guns?”. Who is fueling this exactly? Every time politicians ramp up their rhetoric, guns sales go up.

Another might say, “we are unsafe, there are so many guns on the street”. I would say “You are unsafe because there are so many criminals on the street.”

American military is the largest and most advanced in the world. We should consider disarming so other countries won’t war with one another.

As I stated previously, as crime rises (with or without a gun), as our police become less effective, our DA’s allow criminals to roam, and politicians take aim at our ability to defend ourselves, you can bet people will turn to firearms to protect themselves.

The premise is all ass backwards. Maybe we should not disarm our citizens, we should enforce current gun laws, protect our schools and not defund the police so we can live in relative safety.

I’m the only guy that ever got passed legislation, when I was a senator, to make sure we eliminated assault weapons. The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether – whether it’s a 9-millimeter pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous. I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things. - Joe Biden

Conversely
MARSHA BLACKBURN (R) TENNESSEE

A Blackburn spokesperson sent NewsHour a statement on behalf of the senator: “We must take meaningful steps to protect our children and that begins with enhancing physical security at schools. There is already roughly $100 billion sitting in the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund that can be used for this purpose. In addition, schools should have secured, limited entry points, and increased funding for school resource officers. School officials with prior military or law enforcement experience should be allowed to carry firearms. Finally, mental health must be taken seriously. We should improve access to resources and treatment for those suffering from mental illness.”

Below is another interesting idea…But I ask, who is going to enforce this law? Certainly not the democratic judges, the demoralized police, socialist DA’s or corrupt mayors.

In fact, the law will likely be used for politicians to go after their political rivals, such as the gun owning conservative.

My federal anti-gun trafficking bill, the Hadiya Pendleton and Nyasia Pryear-Yard Gun Trafficking & Crime Prevention Act, would make gun trafficking a federal crime to help keep guns off our streets and out of the hands of those who would not be allowed to buy them legally.

I think this thread started as a tribute to Ukraine and is now at gun control policy. Miami has found a way to tie both of these together.

I don’t give a shit about the Biden or Beto rhetoric. It would take a constitutional amendment ratified by 38 states for the government to have the power to “take your guns”.

You’re right. Maybe. But You can pick at it, low hanging fruit, just like NY and you’re right is basically nullified.

I posted the requirements to own a gun in NY above. In that case, the only right you have to own a gun is to petition the government.

You would have to be a complete idiot not to recognize that Wall Street corporations are responsible for the soft genocide called “transgenderism”.
