I didn't know I had the RIGHT to go kill someone!! All this time and I could have checked so many off my hit list smh. Why are you just telling me this? *looking at the first name* I got a lot of ground to cover.

It was easier for most Germans to access weapons after Hitler came into power than before.
Exactly - he took guns away from those that opposed his agenda.

Funny you should mention propaganda. It's exactly what our so-called media is doing here. Before you know it, the government won't have to take all guns, just the ones of those that may fight back. How convenient - to arm your followers (unions?), and disarm your critics (conservatives).

Well when you put it down in this way, in this context, does give you something to think about! whether one agrees or not.

Sometimes control is taken away, slowly but surely, and naively, and not discreetly, and when it is too late, people want to know how it happened.

What a disgusting and disgraceful lie of and OP

Shooting another person is NOT a 2nd Amendment right

And just so you know, Shooting a gun in a croweded theatre is ALSO ILLEGAL,

I suggest the OP wash out its cake-hole with some really-strong lye soap. That is, if it had a cake hole.

How do you know it wasn't self-defense? How do you know this kid didn't feel threatened as a result of the argument?

I'm honestly kind of surprised that more people aren't trying to justify this incident like they tried to justify that shooting in the Florida parking lot.

The way this reads it doesn't appear to self-defense:

The witness told police he was trying to leave the house through a sliding glass door when Williams stepped in between him and the accused shooter. The witness told detectives that the gun fired and he observed a splatter, according to the affidavit.

The key word is "accidents"

Most gun related deaths are not.
