[@georgeromo3506]

To those who say otherwise a simple conversation can go a long way. One of my sisters in law recently said that she wouldn't trust herself with a gun because she thinks she would hurt herself. She's a doctor went to school for like 10 years. I told her that at the beginning of her educational career if I put a scalpel in her hand you Probably would have done more harm than good but after a few years of training you can now save lives with the scalpel. Guns are the same way. That response really gave her some pause.

I don't get really upset over dumbasses on wanting gun control. They have a right to their opinion covered by you guessed it the same constitution that the 2A is apart of. However these people really should keep it as an opinion. And had better not think about taking action on their opinion. Because gun confiscation many of us will have a say in the matter.

[@warweasel2832]

Dave Chapelle said it best, "I hate guns, personally. I can't stand them. But I have several." The idea of a firearm is a horrible thing that exist, don't pretend that it isn't. But it is a tool, not a toy. It's something whose existence is not reversible, they will always exist. And to defend oneself, one needs to best tools, that being a gun. I assume that that is what she's saying. She doesn't like the idea of having to kill or maim someone, (because who in their right mind is?) but she recognizes a need. One that transcends moral idolatry. As firearm advocates, we should not punish people for having these reservations about what are, in all honesty, killing tools. We need to not invalidate those feelings, but foster them away from fear, into reverence and understand for them.

[@jaypr719]

As a Venezuelan I will say 2 things: 1. A couple decades ago civilians could own guns and even open carry in the backcountry. You had access to shotguns, hunting rifles, handguns, and some "semi-auto/automatic" rifles (it was around the 1950s) in a reasonably accessible manner if you had to money to afford them. 2. Now, the few very people that had guns in this century are now illegal because the government left them on a years-long waiting list for renovating their permits. In 2017 a new gun law (which can be called illegitimate) was published that made it practically impossible to own them. The ones that have guns now are corrupt military and public personnel, along with what we call "Colectivos" which are basically thugs with guns that work for the government. Oh, and the gangs that are killing dozens of people in mass shootings every month, gangs that were armed by the government in a program so-called "Peace zones" or Zonas de Paz. The people armed are the ones that do harm to our society, and good abiding citizens that want to protect their families can't even get a revolver. Our military left us to die multiple times and the government doesn't care at all about us. The only person that will protect you 24/7 your whole life is YOU, only you. It's every living being's right to protect their lives by all matters. Edit: Holy bananas I didn't expect so many likes. Thanks for the good vibes guys! Stay prepared and aware.

Thank you for your personal input on this subject. I grew up in Florida and attended school with children of Cuban Exiles. My next door neighbors were Cuban Exiles. I heard many horror stories about how the Castro regime used his predecessor's firearm registries to confiscate guns, and if the people did not cooperate, they(or their family members) were taken away and tortured, beaten to death, or left to starve in a cell- that is if they weren't simply executed in the street to begin with- women & children included. These stories have opened my mind to other totalitarian regimes- such as your experience as a Venezuelan, and even more recent situations such as Myanmar, where the population are trying to fight back against a corrupt government & army- and they are using SLINGSHOTS because they have no firearms. The Founders of the United States did their own research and studied world history. They knew that history tends to repeat itself and crafted 'check valves' into the Constitution to prevent a tyrannical government from attaining power. Our Second Amendment is one such check valve. There are those who claim that rag-tag militias with mostly small arms would stand no chance against a powerful military. Just add a little perseverance & such forces are successful. Just look at the Taliban in Afghanistan right now.

When my kids were in school I fought so hard to get *REAL* 6UN Safety included in EVERY year of instruction. THEN they started with "Active Shooter DriIIs" & it seemed even more important! I admit to having somewhat devious motivations: My logic to THEM was simple. VERY FEW teachers had ever handled a weapon, nor had many students (in the upper grades). What would happen if an actual event DID occur & they were able to wrestle the weapon away from the "bad guy"? They'd have NO CLUE what to do NEXT! They wouldn't know how to remove a magazine, or how disable the weapon at all. OR how to use it on the suspect, if the need & opportunity arose. Now here's my nefarious part: Once these teachers, support staff, and students with their parents start going to ranges & begin being taught by real professionals, they'll have an entire change-of-heart like EVERYONE DOES. They'll soon realize that the weapons are harmless. It's the PPL who are the problem. They'll start meeting more ppl in the culture & they'll start going to the range ON THEIR OWN. Soon, we'll have hundreds of new converts! See, the School Boards KNEW this. That's why they NEVER let me present my idea to the teachers or the PTA's. If kids got injured or kiIIed bc teachers had NO CLUE what to do in an emergency, too bad!

I agree with the guy saying people who shouldnt own anything "military grade." Why would I want the cheapest stuff slapped together by the lowest bidder? 😀

[@Minutes-Mils]

Me with my 1700 dollar ar-10

[@1014p]

Ha ha thats funny. Mostly true, but for real guchi guns are an issue and often over priced. Really an ar milspec part should be not worse than well milspec or better. In short its not milspec if coatings and part dimensions are not identical. Thats primary issue creating this military grade mentality. Example that LWRC AR-15, hot damn that thing is totally tuned and nothing is mil-spec. What does packaging say? Mil-spec this and mil-spec that. If they stopped saying mil-spec when clearly dimensions or coating are different. Things would be better. Hell even the lowers often aren’t mil-spec if even one change is done altering its shape or features.

[@1014p]

@Nefarious J Coatings are not paint but one might confuse that. Military has various colors in the typical coatings. There are military coatings designed for IR reduction that we can not get. Spray paint over that and you in a way voided that coatings purpose. Im more referring to bolt, receiver, barrel, trigger coatings/treatments. If you strip the mil-spec coating and it was sold as mil-spec coated but not a mil-spec barrel. Then yes you effectively made it not mil-spec. Thats my point is selling a ar-15 as milspec would imply all parts are mil-spec. If you sold ar-15 as insert brand or model featuring mil-spec trigger. Then only that trigger is mil-spec.

Mr. Smith: Kidding aside; in argumentation parlance to _“disarm”_ one’s audience _(or opposition during discussion of controversial topics),_ means to offer subdued rebuttal -- a toned down or humorized alternative argument. A good example of _disarming_ in this vid begins at 5:48 when the older gent wearing a blue shirt, attempts to tie 2A applicability ONLY to militia service. Lovell artfully references James Monroe (but perhaps meant George Mason), citing the *_“except a few public officers”_* portion of statements from an 1788 debate transcript (link below); pointing out the humor, suggestively juxtaposed against modern-day lawmaker behaviors. Now notice the older gent’s facial expressions; he does not know how to respond. He is, in a word, _disarmed._ press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/print_documents/a4_4s9.html

I'm not anti-gun by any means but most of America's gun control is so lack lustre it's repercussions trickle down into my country. Where I live the majority of illegal guns are smuggled from America, as obtaining illegal guns by any other method here is much more difficult. Tighter gun control by means of greater dealer regulation/supervision, more comprehensive background checks, and stricter requirements to obtain a firearm would reduce the number of illegally obtained firearms immensely, subsequently reducing the number of them in my country in the process. Normally I wouldn't care, but it affects me where I live so it's my problem too.
