Seriously? Stick to a few outliers and go about your day. Republicans nor Democrats are going to turn us into Nazi Germany. Most people on here, including me, are just joking around because that's all this thread deserves.

Don't try and make this crap a reality. It's just crap.

They are deplorable and continue to prove themselves to be everyday. That has nothing to do with fascism.

Are you ready? Here goes... you tell me what killed more Americans...



If we're being honest about banning implements that cause death... your sides argument pertaining to "assault rifles" which fall in line with Rifles, looks clearly to me that knives, hands, fists, feet, and blunt force objects are more of a threat.


Officers using firearms in the line of duty.


Private citizens using firearms to protect property and life.


Better ban ANYTHING that goes near a road, cars, trucks, suvs, bicycles, pedestrians, motorcycles 35k were killed...


Give up your guns! Do it for the children! Say the advocates for abortion...


Almost 40k new biological weapons were reported in 2015


Ban Heart disease! No more video games and sedentary life styles, fast food, stress or cigarettes! Ban fat people from having access to forks! Require back ground checks at fast food joints! Limit access to video games and doing nothing!

Yeah... firearms sure are the leading cause of death in this country. You are so totally right...

Not sure what you are trying to convey??? Forget it. Got it. That is what I am asking. Is this a few outliers or is this mainstream thinking. I don't know.

I hear crickets...

Where's all these anti gun other societies don't have guns utopian arguments...

Your concern is masked as "saving life", numbers not lying, where are you calling for automobile control?
Muh Sandy hook and Columbine, where are you calling for abortion control?
Where is the call for ending a sedentary life style, banning fast food, soda, etc etc?

I mean your arguments are ban guns for this, ban guns for that.
You are more at risk getting killed in a car accident. Are you willing to forfeit your modes of transportation?

Where's the call to ban opioid pain killers?

This is why, your arguments are feeble and driven purely by emotion. Not logic... not statistics. So... if Trump is going to take America into 1930s-45 era Germany... why on earth would you call for a ban of arms that would aid in toppling an evil regime?

Did the media scare you with their manipulation of the word "assault"?
If all life is precious, and all death is tragic...
Why aren't you guys as vehement about other causes of death?
39k and Change REPORTED (true numbers unknown) biological weapons,
And no calls to end having frivolous sex and IV drug use...


Whatever you guys are drinking or smoking... stop.
I'm not suggesting firearm homicides/murder rates need to escalate to 30 40 50k before something is done about it... what I am suggesting is you should really take a look at the bigger picture of things in what causes death and tragedy... you, focusing on firearms... a constitutionally protected right, is misguided. Your arguments time and time again... all based on irrelevant emotion...

I pose a solution though, all of us pro 2A types, could skip range day once a month, put that money into a go fund me pot, and buy you your citizenship to a country of your choosing that does not allow or has strict firearm laws...
Every weekend I go through at the very least $650 in ammo... other shooting sports enthusiasts go through more, others less. You could go live in your utopia. You'll be happy.

We'll be happy, problem solved, everyone is happy... We'll purchase your house at Fair market value, or pay your lease off and toss a few thousand to secure a new apartment in the country of your choosing. Pay your moving and shipping expenses the whole 9 yards.

OR BETTER YET! YOU COULD KEEP YOUR HOUSES AND RENT THEM OUT FOR RESIDUAL INCOME! Think about it! You could get 850-1500+ per month and if you wind up in a country with a favorable exchange rate to the dollar, you may not even have to work!

You won't even have to go far. There's Mexico. There's Canada. Or you could have a spot in the UK France Spain Germany. Maybe Venezuela or Australia...

How about it? What do you say?
You get your utopia, we keep America, America. Land of the Free home of the Brave.
After all, there are countries that have the socialized debt solutions that you seek. Health insurance, education... everything you guys want and like.

I wasn't happy in NY so I sold my house and some toys, and moved to Florida so... if I can do it, and you mostly claim liberal cities and areas are oh so wealthy, you shouldn't have a problem doing the same...

I mean... afterall... your words are that Trump is literally Hitler and transforming the country into Nazi Germany... you have your way out to a non Hitler non fascist regime that shares all of your ideology and beliefs.

I don't think so, you proved in another thread if hate is hugged it crumbles to pieces.
Everyone just needs to go out and hug Nazis. Then America can't become Nazi Germany... most of those neo Nazi punks are just that, they are mostly the result of a broken home and look for validation and compassion. Just like biker gangs of beer bellied long haired bearded 1% clubs, and street gangs...

Their backgrounds are the same. Their actions and rhetoric is similar, skin tone being the only difference.
