I know people who are left leaning democrats and they're for gun control. But gun control doesn't solve the problem entirely.
The problem is the entire culture around guns and toxic 'me and my gun and my truck' self sufficiency culture in the US and the lack of a social net.
Yes it is. I was downvoted to shit last time I said we should have the mandatory 10 days waiting period and background checks. Had nothing but what ifs.
People treating firearms as fuckin toys should be banned. Your firearm was on unattended and your child killed himself or an other person? Straight to jail. Fuckin hate that people have lost the respect of the tool they are using.
Sounds more like asshole culture
Was the man not in the national guard? Seems he was exactly a part of a well regulated militia. That doesn't just automatically stop gun crime.
That's the point. It isn't well-regulated.
The National Guard is not well regulated? Im gonna wager your definition of well regulated is a body in which nothing bad ever happens, which is not what well regulated means, that's called perfection.
If the national guard isnt considered well regulated then nothing is, and clearly the writers of the bill didnt intend for 'well regulated' to be an impossible standard. So if well regulated is going to mean something it didnt mean from the authors then that phrase no longer has bearing on the right, and shockingly enough the US Judicial system agrees with and upheld that.
This was a shooting by a member of a well regulated milita. That phrase or organization structure is not a magic spell that stops crime. The authors would have written 'crime free' instead of well regulated if that's what they meant.
But was it well regulated?
Never said he wasn't.
*terrorist
The terror is stochastic the lone wolf mass shooter is the terror metastasized. Lone Wolf Mass Shooter and Terrorist are synonyms.
I'm looking to learn here, so please forgive me about this, but I had heard something about there being multiple shooters involved. Something about two middle Eastern looking men and a maroon car. It was like a police dispatch audio, but with little context and no sources. My Google-fu is failing me at the moment. Can someone help educate me on this?
It is the result of an unarmed society. The only weapon deployed against this guy was a butcher knife, and predictably it didn’t work.
You're just uvalding the question. I mean evading.
Maine is a state where almost half the households have guns. I don't think opponents of the second amendment are going to find a lot of support there even after yesterday's mass shooting.
People advocating for gun control arent opponents of the 2nd amendment....
Like most things fox news has turned the entire debate into an us vs them thing. Gun control is surprisingly something that most Republicans and Democrats agree on.
People advocating for gun control aren't necessarily opponents of the 2nd amendment, but people talking about well-regulated militias usually are. What's the point of bringing up that strange phrase unless you don't think that the 2nd amendment's right to bear arms applies to everyone regardless of membership in some sort of militia?
