Good Americans know they have the right to bear arms for personal protection regardless of what anti-American tyrannical fascist officials say to the contrary.

Leftists are doing a piss-poor job of taking guns out of the hands of criminals. But is that what they are really after or do they just want to get guns out of the hands of law-abiding patriotic Americans? What was Obama thinking by giving guns to drug cartel gangsters in the infamous Fast and Furious fiasco?
Lefties do not like to talk about their existing gun regulations that have not slowed thugs from murdering others with guns. Leftist liberal gun laws are not working to get guns out of the hands of murderous thugs. No gun law will do that. Why must lefties keep ignoring the facts and pushing disastrous policies that will only make matters worse?
I see. Can't address things I actually say, so you make up other things to reply to.

If they had their way, the heroic woman (but not the would-be killer) in that story would've been unarmed.

As we think about that moral responsibility, you tweeted Wednesday morning about “sacralizing death’s instruments,” which is a very powerful phrase. Can you talk more about that?
Well, I was referring to the fact that the discourse we’ve had now for decades about any attempt to control weapons that can cause grave damage — some of which moves have been enacted into law and others which have been resisted — is countered with a description that [gun ownership] is basically an individual’s sacred right, that no matter what the cost, it must be preserved.
And when I say “sacralized,” I mean that we make it seem almost as if it detracts from human dignity, or the human good, simply to say that we need to have some reasonable limit on these things. To say something is sacralized is to say it’s almost taken out of any possibility for conversation.
It is a strong statement, but we do sometimes speak about things that way, and I must say that in some sense, we have kind of sacralized the whole idea of the individual right, such that it trumps any communal concern. It becomes an untouchable aspect in the discourse, that the common concern for the good of the vulnerable is not in any way sufficient to limit the individual right to determine whether or not I want to own this kind of a gun, or that kind of gun, or, you know, a hand grenade for that matter.
So when you sacralize it, you kind of make it basically closed for discussion, because we practically treat it as if it were sacred.

"guns that are easier to obtain than aspirin"
Maybe next time you can find somebody to quote who isn't a retard
Looks like the attendance level at a Biden campaign rally.
Democrats claim that seizing the guns of all Americans will remove guns from the hands of crooks and thugs. What a stupid claim.

No one claims or suggests anything of the sort. Doesn't it bother you to lie like that?

Democrats want to ban private gun ownership in America. Why deny tens of millions their constitutional rights just because a handful continue to exercise violence in spite of every past effort of lawmakers to stop the violent from being violent? One reason the soft-on-crime lefties want to take guns away from all Americans is that they think such an experiment might actually slow or stop violent murders. Those ideas are stupid, but lefties still want to try them, which is a really bad idea.
Why ban guns?
5.) Most gun crimes are committed by inner city gangs and drug dealers. These relatively small and geographically restricted groups consistently commit the majority of gun crimes, which usually peak as turf wars erupt over Drug War changes. The best way to prevent this is by denying guns to all law abiding people everywhere.

Clearly we need a better way of preventing murderers from legally obtaining the weapons.
What's your suggestion?
Illegal guns are used to murder thousands of Americans each year, yet gun laws have failed to stop thugs from getting them. Guns and drugs flow through the open southern border every day thanks to democrats who are stuck on stupid. Current laws are not stopping the flow.
Soothsayers? What could have prevented the deranged leftist Sanders supporter from buying a gun apart from predicting the future? Making murder illegal? No, that did not work.

My suggestion is a swift trial and a swift public painful execution. And a taboo on the shooter's name - let him be forgotten and never spoken of again. Similarly with the national publication of the tragedy as a spectator sport. Let the parents grieve in peace.Soothsayers?

Now do a list of all the times a gun was purchased legally and saved lives.
Don't want to?
Thought not.
