Carney shut him the fuck down while he was rambling to the press.

Have you noticed that the NRA has been absolutely silent since the tyrannical government they've been warning us about for years actually came to pass?

In Canada you are required to take 16 hours of training then pass a written exam and a practical exam before being licensed.

82% of Canadians support stronger gun laws. 84% of Massachusetts residents support stronger gun laws.

Or that.

No. I'm saying that for the law to be unconstitutional at you say you must have the right to own a gun.

This is, "Mah rights!" nonsense. The right isn't absolute. You have the right but that right is regulated by state law. None of your rights are absolute. Call the White House and tell them you're going to kill the president and see how far your free speech rights go.

NOTE: Dear fascist brown shirts, that was NOT a threat but a reductio ad absurdum example. Get a brain.

The law is only unconstitutional if you have a right that the state law takes away.

You have the right as guaranteed by the second amendment and the supremacy clause. I'm not sure what you don't understand about how the constitution works.

This seems like a confirmation that your argument is, in fact, "Mah rights!"

Article VI, Clause 2 establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority are the supreme law of the land, taking precedence over any conflicting state laws. This means the Constitution, along with federal laws, applies to all states and their citizens, regardless of their location within the United States.

Like I said, "Mah rights!"

In 2019 I asked my doctor about boosting all of my vaccinations and adding a few extra because of my work travel. He asked if I was traveling to a third world country. I said, "Yes, the United States." He boosted my MMR and DTAP and added Hep-A and - B and yellow fever.

That's not how the US constitution works.

My 16 year old is out shooting his brand new arrived today .22 right now. He has a PL (possession license) while I have a PAL (possession and acquisition license.) He is allowed to possess guns without supervision but he is not allowed to acquire them.

In MA and a few other states gun ownership is a privilege that is granted based on personal bias and can be revoked. They also have training licensing and handling requirements.

I did a little bit of reading and I don't think that's true. You have the protected constitutional right to own guns as guaranteed by the second amendment but the exercise of that right is subject to licensing and permitting requirements and may be suspended under some circumstances (such as your being designated a danger to society.) (This sounds more like a, "mah rights!" argument than anything else to me. )

That's quite different from Canada where you have literally no right to own a gun at all.

Strict by American standards. My 16 year old son is on his way into the house to get my keys so that I can unlock the ammo box to give him .22 quiets so that he can try out his new Winchester rifle that arrived by mail today.

You do have the right to own at gun in MA as guaranteed by the Second Amendment. No such right exists in Canada. In Canada gun ownership is a privilege which can be revoked and which has strict training, licensing, and handling requirements.

Most Americans would be unhappy in Canada. You don't have the right to own a gun in Canada. Employees have rights in Canada. We have actual religious freedom in Canada, not the right to discriminate based on "religion". Women have the right to choose in Canada. Hate speech isn't protected in Canada. We're a VERY different country even compared to your most liberal states.

The fascists don't want the public to know that LA is resisting the American Gestapo. The fascist owned corporate propaganda networks won't show what's happening but they can't control foreign media. They are going to take a page from the fascist playbook and shoot foreign media.

They say they are going to force them to watch video of the attack on Isreal. I wonder if they will highlight each of the tens of thousands of women children who have been killed by their bombing campaign who participated in the attack when they appear in those videos?

The fact that 70 million Americans voted for a christofascist dictatorship suggests not.
