Why People Ignore Facts (Gun Control)

[Fireball]

Let's be ultra safe and be allowed as individuals to bare small nuclear arms

One can never be too safe! Freedom! Freedom for all! The inalienable right to obliterate each other in self defence.

You can have my small nuclear arms (AKA Sub kiloton munitions, or Tactical Nukes) right after you pry them off my widely dispersed...atoms.

The right to bear arms is the litmus test to determine if you live in a free country or not

Nope I country that has strong legal protections for freedom does

[Minimalist]

Not at all. There's a reason it's in the 2nd amendment, you know, right after freedom of religion and before freedom from home invasion.

Yes, dummy.  The south demanded that their anti-slave militias be free from federal government interference.

You do know that the amendment refers to a "well-regulated militia" which does not mean every fucking maniac with a gun.

I' ll be happy to get rid of my guns - ten minutes after all government agencies - in every country are stripped of theirs.....

[Angrboda]

That is the biggest, steamiest, must utterly putrescent load of shite you’ve dropped here yet.

Oh, and it’s also wrong.

Where are you from, again, buttnose?

"Canadians, unlike Americans, do not have a constitutional right to bear arms," the high court stated in 1993,
in a decision over the possession of convertible semi-automatic weapons.

It's not so much about where he's from, but where he's going.

I think it's funny that, out of a desire not to pay peoples wages, and not anger people who didn't want to pay people wages, we wrote some flowery bullshit into a law that no one believed, which was actually about something else..and created a pleasant myth of americana to cover the entire affair.

It's at this point that I take a breath and realize that we've pretty much always been the way we are now.  

OTOH, we did get gun rights out of the deal (which clearly makes some people super jealous), so it's not all a wash.

I'm starting to think building this huge wall around Murrica might be a good thing.
