When republicans say healthcare is “accessible” despite how expensive it is I really wanna know what they would think if guns and ammo cost as much as healthcare and medical procedures did. Would they still think they had “access” to weapons or does price gouging their wittle weapons make them sad and throw a tantrum?
While I support the rights of people to own guns, recent history has proven we need much more regulation.  We need full registration and required training to own a gun.  Something we are sorely lacking.  We need a license to get a car, why not a gun? >

Defense is a human right. Cars are not. >

Firearms are inhuman.
Not one of you can give me an argument that fixes school shootings outside of guns disappearing. >

So is someone breaking and entering someones home to rape or kill, and you want to take away the best tool for a victims means of self-defense? If someone has intent to rape and then kill someone living alone, you just want them to take it and accept it? What if the resident is paralyzed from the waist down? What if they have some other medical condition or ailment you don't know about that limits their motor ability to learn self defense fighting byt enough to operate a firearm? You don't know the situation of a victim or a perpetrator who could be way stronger or heavier, could be weaker, could be using narcotics and you want to take away and limit their ability to defend themselves or limit that ability. >

Yes. I guess I do want to take away firearms for self-defense, as well. Taking them away from everyone is the only answer that makes any sense if we’re trying to stop the ever-increasing deaths by firearms. >

In a perfect world and if criminals just didn't commit crimes it might work but, be real, it doesn't. We don't live in a perfect world and never will not to mention the logistical nightmare it would be to get all guns in America destroyed.
Even the Reddit parroted Australia gun ban had no observable effects on suicides or homicides.
And mass murders still occur by other means. >

I don't care.
How many schools are getting shot up in Australia after they had the one that made them come to their senses about firearms?
I didn't expect homicides to disappear. I expect them to shrink because it's harder to mass murder with a knife unless you've got help. 
There's no argument you can give that's going to change my mind and apparently children dying aren't going to change yours. It won't change your mind until it comes to your school or church or grocery store and you weren't there to hero it up with your carry permit. >

Well there you go “I don’t care”..if that’s your position no one has to care about your opinion when it comes to our rights in usa they are there and not going anywhere if you don’t like it move to Europe which have laws you like better since we had a revolutionary war with Britain on the whole issue of them trying to tell us what to do and had their boots on our necks..2a is for protection against tyranny and rogue governments first and then personal protection second >

Sure, buddy. I just see a different path than you. >

It's not enough that you old fucks ruined everything, you can't even wait for the cancer to get us? >

When they said "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." I'm 1000% sure that what we have going on in this country with guns was not what they intended, they couldn't have imagined the firepower available or the frequency that we use it on innocent people. >

Let’s keep that same energy as it pertains to the 1st amendment with TV, radio, internet, etc. After all, they couldn’t see the sheer amount of information disseminated enmasse when the only way to say things back then was standing on a soapbox and yelling. >

Except TVs and radios aren’t being used to cause mass murders on a weekly basis. >

Just the mass brainwashing that allows the rest of the atrocities to continue. >

That’s funny, cause every other country has TVs and laptops too, yet they don’t have these regular mass shootings, but by your logic, all those brainwashed people in other countries should be causing mass shootings too. >

I’m not sure your point. Brainwashed people with guns obviously isn’t good. But that doesn’t mean brainwashed people without access to guns aren’t still a problem, especially when it comes to voting. >

My point is, other countries have brainwashed people too, but the reason they don’t have mass shootings is because they don’t have access to guns. I’m not in favor of brainwashing people. >

I guess my point is that checks on what people can say is not entirely bad. Germany for example doesn’t let people speak positively or deny the holocaust. We need more laws to reign in the amount of lying and misinformation people are allowed to get away with spreading. People need to get over their undying allegiance to 100% free speech. In fact, we already have limits regardless even though people think otherwise. >

If we need more laws I don’t want our US lawmakers making them.   
They simply are not good at it. >

This is a dumb take because they are the ones that write laws. The irony is if you think lawmakers are bad but they are voted by the people, many of whom have been fed bullshit by people and groups that should have had checks on spreading their lies and misinformation. >

Unfortunately, this quote is going to be used against Newsom if he runs for President in the future. >

Times change and may turn out to be a strength. >

If Sandy Hook didn’t change the political will and discourse, what ever will? >

Uvalde was worse. Bunch of grown armed cops too afraid to even try to save children in Texas because they knew that was a suicide mission. >

But it wasn't a suicide mission. It was 1 teenage boy. 
A team of officers in vests should have easily ended the situation. 
The officer that snuck in to get his kids was already there and concealed. 
This was cowardice. 
So yes, it was a travesty. >

The United States cares more about guns than human lives. 
It's written in black and white. You have guaranteed access to guns, but not food, water, breathable air, shelter, or healthcare.
As long as that remains true, we won't be able to do shit about armed nutjobs exercising their right to slaughter people by the thousand every year.
