When did gun rights become more important than kids lives?

Your view is extremely naive. First of all, many indigenous hunt, it's part of their culture, is that something you want to erase? Many others hunt to sustain their communities. Many kids grew up with guns in the past, on farms and were fine. Farming equipment likely killed more of them than guns because many were taught to respect them and not mess around.
@Angelwarfare I don't think he is advocating to ban all guns entirely. There are many countries that make guns accessible to farmers and hunters after training and getting a license cause they actually have a use for guns.
@RebelliousSpirit Idk what he is advocating but I find the view of banning guns naive, in general. Criminals will ALWAYS have guns, corrupt governments will ALWAYS have guns. Trying to disarm law-abiding citizens, like an authoritarian dictator, is foolish beyond anything.
@Angelwarfare oh come on look at other countries. Like Europe has few gun owners and while far right parties are on the rise everywhere they still have a functioning democracy in most european countries, and even better ones than we in the US have.
Also no criminals don't have easy access to guns there either just look at statistics of european countries.

@Angelwarfare he said nothing about banning guns, just about gun rights.
@RebelliousSpirit You haven't studied much history I see. Things change quickly and yes, criminals can buy guns anywhere (dark web).
@Angelwarfare I know history and I am in favour of well trained millitias but lots of low IQ idiots running around with guns, kids acidentally shooting their siblings and people just shooting around "cause its their right" is just pathetic.
@RebelliousSpirit

No, you really haven't studied history if you hold that view. Should we ban automobiles too? Lots of low IQ idiots operate those too. Check out the stats on that one. I'm so freaking sick of liberals snooty stereotypes.
@Angelwarfare we should invest in public transport but that's beside the point.
Guns can easily do more damage than a car and while we do need to learn from history it's harder to compare it to our time nowadays with evolving technology and societal changes and Information and news spreading around the world in seconds.
You don't see a problem in US gun culture? Seriously
@Angelwarfare I'm no liberal 🙄
@RebelliousSpirit Do you see a problem with forced abortions because the world population is supposedly too high?

I never said you were a liberal. Everything isn't all about you.
@Angelwarfare

Wtf forced abortions are not happening and yeah that would be fucked up.
@RebelliousSpirit Forced jabs are and no one is taking my guns for that very reason. Ever.

@Angelwarfare i am so pleased you brought up automobiles.

To drive a car, you need to be of a certain age, pass a test and get a licence that is often reviewed. If youbhave a health issue the licence can be revoked. To actually own a car you need a lot of money, plus needvtobrgistervit. You needcan annuals check on the car and you pay annualb road tax to use it. There are many safety features on a car and you also need insurance. Thqt would be a great start if the same would apply to owning and using a gun

@Angelwarfare no forced vaccinations have occurred.
@BackyardShaman Can you survive without food and shelter indefinitely? Wow, you must be an alien or something.

@Angelwarfare who has had a forced vaccination?

@Angelwarfare If you are making the claim for indigenous people that hunting is cultural, then might I suggest they need to limit their hunt to culturally suitable weapons, Like Bows and spears.. My own view is that anyone who does not require a firearm for use in their employment should be considered mentally suspect, just for feeling that need. Guns allow any aggression to be multiplied a hundredfold beyond the reach of the person. A society that allows that is simply destroying itself..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman Lol a white man lecturing indigenous people about their culture? Wow. Imagine thinking your Government loves you and is out to protect you. 😂

@Angelwarfare what's that to do with anything?
@Guitarman123 As I said earlier, people with your view don't know any history.

@Angelwarfare You have not responded to a single point i made?

@Angelwarfare Me being White doesnt make me wrong. Traditional hunting simply didnt involve gunpowder, Thats a fact..😷
@Angelwarfare guns and hunting aren't synonyms. But what a colonialist wants, he gets.
@Roundandroundwego Indigenous use guns for hunting. Are you telling me they don't?
@Angelwarfare nope. I'm saying it's not a sign of ethics.
