Anybody here still remember what happened last summer? There is no way this legislation is going to pass after the Antifart and BLM terrorized this country for almost half a year with their burning, looting, and killing.

The only people who want to pass this legislation are the far leftists because they want the government to take away guns from law abiding citizens and leave them defenseless against BLM and Antifa terrorists in 2024.

Far right and moderate Americans are not falling for this.

If the later is true, we shouldn’t discuss it anymore, because we are just treading water.
People like you....


There are already thousands of gun laws. This is just peeing into the wind at this point. How about we start arming our citizens instead. The route of unarming is going the wrong direction, just look at the numbers. 500 million firearms...that's never going away.

Although sometimes they can be annoying. When I hurry to work and the red light stops me for a long time - it’s very annoying. Still I don’t want to get rid of it. It’s the same with firearms.
Minimize? No. Cities with the most regressive, backwards attacks on the civil rights of law abiding Americans typically have the worst violent crime. While states that pass pro-civil rights laws, such as constitutional carry, often result in lower crime rates.

What works? Lock up criminals. Pretty simple idea-but one that the Democratic party has opposed time after time-and increasingly in the last decade. Restrict drug users and commit the severely mentally ill to institutions. But...Dems, or liberals in general, "care" about the civil rights of the mentally insane, and of criminals. While supporting restricting the civil rights of law abiding, mentally healthy individuals. At least be honest-you don't care about reducing violent crime or stopping killings. If you did, you'd promote those things I mentioned-not more mindless, useless, gun control laws.

Make it impossible for the poor to have guns legally while making as many people as possible to be poor.

Maybe society could stop isolating and harming them for much of their lives.

And the VP was cheering them on and paying for their bail. They are fighting a war and are winning. They are not going to stop.

In one of the post, someone mentioned there has to be compromise, and there seems there is no solution.
There is a solution, and as soon as I get a few people on this thread to respond to my questions, I will post what I think the real solutions to this gun issue is.
My questions... Why does anyone need an ak47/ar15, or any gun that is capable of shooting multiple rounds in a matter of seconds.
Why does anyone need a handgun that does the same?

I am not against gun ownership, and want to know your reasons regarding the two questions I asked above.
With some answers, I will go into detail regarding a solution that will work for everyone.
I think I have one.

You don't know, you just better hope you're armed.

why do you need a car that can go over 100mph?
why do you need 80" TV?
why do you need 3000 sq ft home for 3 people?

How about mind your own business why i need an ak47/ar15? I don't need your permission to practice my 2A right.
