The 2nd amendment is a curse upon this country.

@Vin53 Once guns are gone, what's the next weapon of choice? You may as well get busy on taking that one away too.
Vin53 · M
Do you really think guns are going anywhere? What would that exactly look like in your eyes? Midnight raids on civilian homes across the USA? Get real and grow up.

@Vin53 Hmmm.... I should get real and grow up. I will work on that just as soon as you figure out why you feel the need to put an insult instead of telling me what weapon may take a gun's place.
I see people here trying to take guns away from citizens.
Vin53 · M
I'd be happy to tell you exactly why. There's no such thing as banning ALL guns in America. It'll never, ever, ever, ever happen. And to state otherwise is childish tooth fairy believing. So yeah, grow up.

@Vin53 I was asking how it'd be for those who wish for all legal and law abiding people to give up their guns.
You grow up and maybe not be such an ass towards others.
Vin53 · M
*sigh* Anybody who wants all legal law abiding citizens to surrender their firearms are a speck on the fly trap of life in our country. I have guns and at absolutely zero moments in my life have I ever considered that they'd be removed due to legislation against gun owners. Do you see what I'm saying? The USA population would never give up its guns because its impossible and ludicrous to even conjure notions about it. 393,000,000 guns in this country.

@SW-User Not a chance in hell. America will not give up its guns .

@TexChik I was asking since that's the scenario many wish to see.
TexChik · F
@SW-User Many more dont.

@Vin53 Yes the constitution should not be worshipped, God should be worshipped. We have a curse on our country because we worship the constitution not God..

@SW-User A knife does not kill 21 people in one minute. How do people not understand this?????😏
TexChik · F
@Carazaa Please. We dont worship the constitution but we do honor and respect it and defend it. Just your mention of God would get you killed in some parts of the world. The constitution is the law and the framework for our great nation created by Christian men. It protects our freedoms. And like it or not, without the 2A all the other As are not going to last. That is just the facts of life.

@TexChik 30 women and many kids are killed every day in the USA, and many are Christians in their own homes.
TexChik · F
@Carazaa Our freedom is more important than your sense of safety. Evil is perpetuated by the man not the gun. How do you not understand that?
SW-User
@Carazaa But a car can
TexChik · F
@Carazaa And so we should disarm so they can kill more? Sorry. 1.4 million babies are killed every year in the womb...those babies are the real victims
Carazaa · F
@SW-User MAybe you don't know this because you can't drive yet, but a car is not intended to kill, it is intended to get us to work. A gun is INTENDED to KILL!

@Carazaa but not illegally. There a laws in place to protect us, liberal politicians choose not to enforce them. Not one of my guns has snuck out of its vault and gone on a crime spree.
Carazaa · F
@TexChik They are killed in this country AFTER birth. I think it is a sin to abort but I can't tell anyone what to do with her own body. That is not ethical.
SW-User
@Carazaa Maybe YOU don't know this but I recently posted enough examples of vehicles being used in large groups of people to mow them down...including children and school students.
I drive every damn day and know exactly what people are capable of with a vehicle. Guns were not intended to kill and mass murder for the every day public. What we choose to do with any given item is what makes it what it becomes.
Carazaa · F
@SW-User Please use your brain to save kids from being killed again! As long as you and pro gun people like guns you are responsible for murders in the USA.
TexChik · F
@Carazaa Yes, 1.3 million die in the US every year, from all causes. Medical malpractice far exceeds guns when it comes to deaths. Motor vehicle accidents kill many more. Neither is it ethical for you to do a knee jerk chicken dance any time the TV tells you there was a mass shooting . They dont tell you that everyday that happens in chicago and that the dont intend to do a thing about it. But it happens. Wake up
SW-User
@Carazaa But not the vehicle killing. I get it.
I love children. It's why I have my own. lol
I used my brain and raised them with some common sense. I even started home schooling them so they couldn't be raised the government way.

I actually agree with you on the homeschooling point. However, the rest of your argument is total bullshit. Cars may accidentally kill a lot of people, but the number of people intentionally killed by drivers is minuscule.

And here's the clincher: gun crime (where children are intentionally killed) is now the number one cause of death in children aged 9-14 in America; overtaking accidental death in traffic collisions. Once again, your feeble argument about vehicles being driven into crowds of people, although horrific, is nothing more than classic "whataboutery" designed, yet again, to deflect attention from the simple truth that the only way you are going to cut down on gun violence is to ban guns! (and I assure you, the number of people killed in the ensuing riots will not even be close to the number of people killed by gun violence in America this year (17,000+)).
