Free people are armed people. Who in their right mind would ever think it's smart to have their governments be the only entity with guns?

Do you think the Jews in Germany in the 1930s would ever think this is a good idea? Do you think the American Indians would have ever thought that was a good idea?

Because a nutcase goes out and shoots people, YOU WISH TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO ARMS?

In the USA we are lucky to have men like Jefferson, Madison and Adams who founded this country based on the CITIZENS, not on the RULING CLASS. One of the things that makes the USA so special is that the INDIVIDUAL has the same rights as even the president.

Most countries were founded based on what's best for the King...and an armed citizenry certainly wasn't that. They didn't want any "uprisings." To this day most citizens around the world are neutered by their governments because of the lack of individual liberty in their countries' founding documents.

Has history taught you people nothing?

Free people are armed people. Disarmed people are serfs and slaves.

WAKE UP!

The public knows who these wackos are. No one is ever surprised. If you’re willing to risk 10k that the person isn’t going to shoot up a school that’s a good start to stopping this madness.
And if you want to speak, two people need to vouch for you.

Chumps. Saps. Dupes who believe government is a kind and beneficent entity. Future slaves. Enthusiastic wait-listed internment camp guests. Early adopters of QR code arm tattoos. Glassy-eyed livestock.

Yup. the are like the same people who lined up with the China Virus nonsense too and did whatever their TV told them.

They are quite predisposed to the herd mentality.

What if they are already felons?



So, then you agree if these wacko's are known they should be picked up and put in jail/mental institution, no questions asked, yes?
Absolutely NOT. They just shouldn’t be able to purchase an AR15. This is not a difficult concept.

Speaking doesn’t put 19 kids in an early grave. This is not a difficult concept.
