@boudinMan your government it would seem
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Guitarman123 what do you propose my government do?
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@boudinMan same as mine, make guns illegal
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Guitarman123 then, what would you do with all the millions of guns people now own... confiscate them?
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@boudinMan yes and destroy them
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Guitarman123 so, just have the police barge in, take your gun and destroy it?

@boudinMan Yes. You are not a supremely protected and free creature whose divine whims supersede the safety and wellness of others.
Yes. Other countries have done it, other countries succeed at it. We're so special and rigid we're incapable of doing something the rest of the world found relatively easy? Does that speak to a problem with the world or with us?
Hint: It's us.

@boudinMan how's not having guns authoritian?
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Guitarman123 lol... are you kidding me? you just admitted you wanted the government to confiscate guns. that is the authoritarian part.
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@boudinMan that's a bit different to the government invading your personal life you drama queen
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Guitarman123 what are you talking about, dumbo? you just said that's what you supported... the confiscation of guns. how are you going to confiscate people's guns... go ahead and elaborate.
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@boudinMan your comparing confiscating dangerous weapons that kill millions of people in America to an authoritian system which is just nonsense
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Guitarman123 no, what's nonsense is your denial of it. the 2nd amendment guarantees the right to bear arms. to send the police (or whomever you suggest - the FBI, maybe?) to barge into people's homes to confiscate their firearms would absolutely be authoritarian. i'm sorry you don't realize that.
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@boudinMan so because a amendment was written after the American revolution you'll follow it like it's the gospel?
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@boudinMan if the fbi barge into your home then maybe that's your fault
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Guitarman123 are you for real? are you proposing that people just ignore the parts of the constitution that they don't like? it's the law of the land, stoop. you don't just disregard willy nilly what you don't like. lol
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Guitarman123 lmao... if the FBI did such a thing today, they would be breaking the law.
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@boudinManmass school shootings are legal? that the same people who thought the black panther party were dangerous to democracy of America?
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Guitarman123 dude, you're so confused it's really not funny (sorry for wildly laughing at you), but you really don't know what you're talking about and you're confusing things (probably intentionally). no one said school shootings are legal. you might want to get some sleep and try again tomorrow. lol

@boudinMan Please cite to me the ruling that states any US citizen has the right to bear arms.
I'll give you a hint: This is the gist:
“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. [It is] not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”
Justice Antonin Scalia, 2008

@Graylight no one is arguing that there is an unlimited right to own any weapon you choose... for example, you cannot go out and just purchase a machine gun.
are you familiar with this? A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

@boudinMan if you think that then that's because your falling into the trap most Conservatives do which is when they can't articulate a genuine argument they either insult people or try to dismiss people based on nothing
Graylight · 51-55, F
@boudinMan Are you familiar with this? Those words meant absolutely nothing for 70 years until 2008.
The US Constitution isn't your Ultimate Rights pamphlet. It's a document that outlines the framework of a new nation. It's been changed in the past, it'll be changed again. Guns aren't and American right absolutely.
