You need help mate, you are not well. And stay away from firearms.

So I didn't say that, not something that implied that. That's when you apologies for a small mistake, it happens to everyone but no you actually doubling down.. mate really, stop putting words in my mouth, and then make up things based on words that I didn't say if you want to reply to the other person just do it

Tell would be me writing those exact words, you even enclosed in double quotes, like you were quoting me. I literally had to scroll up and check if I had said something like that, which I didnt but apparently I implied it.

And when "quoting" me you said that those words imply something else. Can you please stop making assumptions?

No I don't, but they are quite different problems.

World's nations don't have an entity governing them that can make and enforce laws. Citizens of a country do, it's called a government. Most western governments (all except for the us) have demonstrated that guns can be controlled and it's quite successful in making schools and mall shootings a non issue. We do have the occasional criminal carryingna gun, and so do corrupt cops but no one would consider arming themselves to 'protect my family '. It works.

Sure, keep getting more then

I asked for anecdotes, not for a completely made up story cowboy, sorry my last comment wasn't sarcastic enough to make that clear. I'll still give you that it was a well written one

Yeah sorry as I said i don't know much on the BP topic and it sounds that the little I know is stereotypes from reading your comments

Did I really tell you that?

Can't believe I'm arguing laws on lemmy, I'm neither a lawyer nor American nor i really know much on the subject, shooting in the dark.. Is gun ownership of "bearing arms" that is an individual right tho?

Can't afford to insure an f-16 doesn't mean that I'm entitled to own one or that the government is restricting me.

If you can't afford insurance on a gun you can always excercise your god given rights with a different weapon, leave the house with a knife, a stick or a fork and use them to defend your township

Sorry that might be the politically correct definition that kids give it today to feel good and click on each other but every bill, law or decision shifts power from a group to another and that's not always a bad thing. And not always a right wing thing.

And that's why you want less guns going around, not more

Agree

Genuinely ignorant on the topic, not from the us.. Wouldn't they just buy guns from the black market (no pun intended) and skip insurance altogether? In fact, isn't that what the BP were probably doing, using unregistered illegal firearms?

I don't think I made that point unless it was in another thread, sorry I'm dealing with a lot of pro gun idiots at the moment.

I liked that story, can picture the tumbleweed going by, can you write another one?

The subtext was no one needs a fucking gun and poor people should spend the little money they have on something a bit higher in the food/shelter priorities list.

If your idea of protesting involves carrying a gun. You are going to get shot soon and the pigs will get away with self-defence, not very smart.

If your idea of protecting your family involves a gun, I'm pretty sure in the US it's statistically easier for your kids to shoot themselves with your gun so you are not really protecting them.

I don't cheer when a poor person child dies, how could you imply that. Are we talking guns or insulin here? Are guns keeping people alive?

Not alt right sorry, been on the left for a few decades, before it became trendy on lemmy. It's just that I can't stand pro gun idiots I'm general, and it really saddens me when they are on the left, like the nra didn't already have enough idiots supporters

I'm fine with banning everyone. This bill is a bit different, think about car insurance hasn't been mandatory and someone is proposing to make it so. Everyone screams it's not fair, the poor are not allowed to drive anymore. I can sympathize in principle, but hey you live in the us

You guys have your priorities fucked up.the left should say "don't give a shit about guns, we need universal healthcare". The right can't put a fucking thought together by themselves, let's stop assuming all right-wingers are rich, most trump voters are trailer park trash

Pretty sure I haven't fell for right wing ideas in a few decades. Bear in mind I'm not from thebstates and this all thing of carryingnguns makes me think of somalia, not a civilized western country.

I've been to civil rights protests elsewhere, no firearms but acab everywhere. I'd expect carrying (and showing) a gun would be making l rich kids and the pigs a favour: they can now write off your murder as self defence even if it was filmed by a body cam.

I know right, how are poor people going to put food on the table if they are not allowed to carry a weapon in public?
