@John Grit OK, there's a lot to unpack there. FDR hated the KKK just as much as his wife, an outspoken Colored persons' activist. He shared many of his wife's views on equal rights for black and other colored citizens, and appointed many black people to notable positions in the government. The only reason he didn't make policies against racism was because whether he liked it or not, the KKK was a powerful faction, and their supporters, the southern democrats (who later BECAME republicans to appeal to minority populations in the south), would have never let FDR pass any bill needed simply to keep america stable. It was either about thirty more years of racial inequality or the collapse of the United States because some stuck-up racists in the south were still bitter about not having slaves anymore. Also, FDR turned away the ship of Jewish refugees because he had received reports from his advisors that there may have been Nazi spies aboard. The ship didn't even return to Germany. FDR was a democrat, but he was not the same kind of democrat that founded the KKK. The KKK were founded by the southern democrats, a sub-section of democrats who had fought against the union in the civil war. Very important: Democrats =/= southern democrats. The 1934 firearms act was a law passed to prevent gang violence by putting restrictions on automatic weapons; he didn't ban them, he simply added some extra requirements for their acquisition. As a result, gang violence lowered significantly, meaning this policy was successful. Also, the federal government did not try to intentionally poison alcohol meant for human consumption. It was not only illegal to consume liquor, it was illegal to produce it. However, there were no such limitations on industrial alcohol, so the workers in factories and other manufacturing centers would often drink it as a substitute. To discourage this, the federal government mandated the addition of lethal chemicals into this industrial alcohol, as well as warnings of toxicity on their containers. The government did not intentionally try to poison people; They knew the alcohol was toxic and they drank it anyway. That's on them, not the government. While the atomic bombs that were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were sort of extreme, it was necessary; the Japanese would not have surrendered until every single one of their troops were dead. This would have led to the devastation of the Japanese countryside and the deaths of not only more Japanese and American soldiers, but also more Japanese civilians than those in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Additionally, there is no evidence that such "experiments" took place; FDR advocated the idea that there was no master race, as he, with the help of the United States war department, released a film called "Don't be a Sucker", warning against the dangers of fascism and alt-right racist ideas. One notable quote from the film comes from a depicted professor in a German college, where the professor, shortly before being detained by the SS, states that "...there is no master race. That is a scientific truth." FDR did not cause the great depression. The Wall Street crash of 1929 happened in, you guessed it, 1929, and FDR was elected president in 1933. When he was president, the new deal he enacted made new policies that helped to save hundreds of thousands of American citizens. By instituting a welfare program, he could ensure that the people who needed it most could have money to get food and not die. It also promoted the development and maintenance of American infrastructure and even founded the boy scouts! He instituted no such laws limiting the amount of food people could grow. The holocaust was only revealed in 1945 by the Soviets, who reported it to the international community immediately. Also, what do you mean he "refused" to bomb the Germans? When america entered the war, cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg were decimated by US bombing runs. That included their infrastructure like railways, roads, etc. Also, the United Kingdom had no advance warning of the attack, and remember, ports all over the pacific were bombed, including Portuguese, Dutch, AND BRITISH ones. They were all done at the same time for the exact purpose of not being able to send advance warning. FDR made no pacts or alliances with Mussolini; They were at war! They didn't want to make friends with people they were dragged in to fight! And while he did make an alliance with Stalin, it was necessary. America couldn't have defeated Germany without soviet help; that's a simple fact. There's actually very little evidence that LBJ said that. The statement that he did originated in a far-right newspaper from the 1990's, decades after the fact. Plus, I'm pretty sure the American Revolution was started by unfair taxation of colonial imports. And if your "teachers" are yelling you all of this, they're either grossly misinformed or intentionally spreading false info. I, myself, am all in favor of the second amendment. People need to be able to defend themselves. I am not, however, in favor of lax policies regarding gun acquisition and use. Such policies have led directly to the deaths of dozens of America's youth at the hands of edgy teens whose parents either neglect or abuse them. People don't need to show others they have a gun on them unless they're law enforcement officers (the BLM issue is a whole other can of worms that I don't wanna open with you). We need to be more careful when it comes to who gets guns and how they can be used in public places. For your sake, I would highly advise checking with reliable sources before making blatantly false political statements like the ones you've made. Trust me: It'll save you a lot of eye-rolls in the future.

[@NoFlyZone01]

“Arab juice” 😂😂😂 I’m trying to eat without choking Jim!

[@MrLundefaret]

Norway has a population of 5,3 million. Rifle shooting is one of the biggest sports. Hunting one of the biggest hobbies. Norway has 1,3 million registered guns, and 460.000 registered gun owners. You can start rifle shooting the year you become 10. The Norwegian rifle shooting association is called The Voulenteer Shooting Society, and is born out of the need to have an armed civilian militia. One of Norway's largest sporting event is the annual National Rifle Shooting Competition, which attracts over 5.000 competitors ranging in age from 9 to over 90 (no upper age limit). It's held over a week, and was first held in the late 1890s. The final is broadcast live on the largest TV network. Both women and men compete on equal terms. To date there has been no lethal accidents or intentional happenings including guns on this event. And when Norwegians gather in their trailers over a whole week, they also indulge in another past time favourite, binge drinking. Norway has won the international military sniper competition, Vs competition from allied nations including the US. In Norway, from 2012 to 2016 there was a total of 154 homicides. 15 of those involved firearms. In the same 208 weeks there was 208 winners of the weekly stately lottery. This means you where 14 times more likely to win the main price in the weekly lottery, than be intentionally or unintentionally killed by the use of a fire arm. It isn't the guns that are the problem, it's gun control. So the NRA has all opertunity in the world to both keep their guns, keep the second amendment, and keep people safe. - Have strict gun control, including background checks and a waiting period. - Have strict standards of where and when it's legal to use those guns. - Fight for recourses to take care of the citizens mental health. Especially veterans with PTSD. - Monitor white supremacist, and take guns away from people not fit to carry them. It's NRAs responsibility to do the right thing!

[@victorhapavenka170]

MrLundefaret we have federal background checks and most states have a waiting period

[@MrLundefaret]

@@victorhapavenka170 My opinion is that the NRA can combine responsibility, safety, and the protection of the second amendment. First I will underline why Norway has its Voulenteer Shooting Society (the Norwegian version of the NRA). - As in the US, this is based on the need for a civilian militia, in case the Army, and the National Guard, needs support if there is an attack on Norway's sovereignty by a foreign state. Or if the government and the Army acts in an unconstitutional way towards its citizens, so the government needs to be overthrown. This is the same reasons as is stated in the US second amendment. - The regulations regarding buying and owning a firearm is in short: Rifles and shotguns can be bought from the age of 18 (dispensation can be given down to 16). You must fill in a formal application too the police. There you have to prove that you are going to use the weapon for either hunting or target practice/sport. The time it takes from the application is officially filed, until you get a permit, varies. But there is a waiting period. Since you can start target shooting with a rifle from the year you become 10, one of your parents, or another care taker needs to hold your permit. It's also usual that the local rifle club has lend out rifles. When it comes to the rifles and shotguns, there are some limitations. Shotguns: Semi automatic shotguns are allowed, but when you go hunting you can only keep two cartridges in the clip. There are also regulations in regards too the amunition type and calibre. It's not allowed to shorten the barrel of a shotgun. Rifles: Semi automatic rifles are allowed, but will require a more thorough check. Especially if it's a "tactical" rifle, like the AR15. Long Range shooting has become very popular, and heavy calibres are allowed (like the Lapua Magnum sniper round), but 50 cal is not allowed. When it comes to handguns (pistols and revolvers), there are stricter rules: - You must be at least 21 years of age. - You must have been an active member of a hand gun club (target or tactical shooting) for the minimum of 6 months. - The police will do a more thorough background check. - Even if you fulfill all these requirements, there still is a waiting period. A general rule is that you can own a maximum of 8 registered guns. But you can get dispensation if you can prove that you are a gun collector. I am just informing of this, since both the US and Norway have the same outset when it comes to the need of an armed civilian militia, and both countries have many citizens that use firearms for sport, hunting or both. So this is one way too keep your guns, while keeping safe. I know different US states have different regulations, and also different statistics when it comes to people being injured or killed by firearms. I also know there are loopholes, like buying a gun at a gun show. It's the same with road traffic. If your beloved one was seriously injured because he or she was hit by a car. And you learned that this happened because the state had suddenly dropped the requirement for having a driver's license. My guess is that you would be outraged. Now facing a lot of people let loose in traffic whithout knowing anything about driving, not knowing the signes or signals, not even knowing which side of the road to drive on. I would bet that your reaction would be in favour of bringing back the requirement for a driving license, to avoid the dangerous chaos?

[@ggsay1687]

And Norway failed in controlling white supremacist, who dress up like a police officer and killed kids in summer camp.

[@lovepeacebliss]

haha the right thing is maximizing $$$$ for them

[@MrLundefaret]

@@ggsay1687 This is absolutely true. So even with strict gun control, and surveillance (the perpetrator had by buying various materials that put him on a list of people to watch out for), you can't be 100% safe. In Norway after this attack (he both set of a huge home made bomb outside the Norwegian Parliament building in Oslo, then travelled to a small island where The Workers Party had their annual youth summer camp, killing and injuring both youth and adults), there was a big debate about outlawing semi automatic rifles (it did not happen), and it was stricter control buying artificial manure. The US ranks Nr 1 in the statistics when it comes to gun violence in developed countries, measured by injuries and or deaths pr 100.000 people. In the US, depending on the parameters, there is statistically about one mass shooting every day. The US intelligence capacity is the world's most advanced, but was unable to act in time in regards to the 9/11 attacks, and seems unable to pick out the majority of mass shooters before they have committed their crime. So if the US intelligence capacity struggles with this, with the manpower, experience, technology and methods they have at hand, this speaks volumes about how hard a task it is. I am presenting a method of how the US can keep its guns while keeping safe (at least safer), but as you point out, the only way too be 100% sure of being 100% safe from firearms, is to ban and impound 100% of them. But this would be going against the constitutional principle of the second amendment.

there's so few 'rites of passage' for boys and girls now days, the symbolic ownership of guns makes an 'adult' and a 'person in control' out of the owner.

It's a status symbol, a metaphor for the right to be taken seriously.

[@wvu05]

@dogboy1953 It was really pretty gradual. The Republicans abandoned Reconstruction in 1877, but they were better on civil rights for decades. During the New Deal, black voters in the north started trending Democratic. In 1948, the Democratic Party won a strong civil rights plank in the convention and there was the Dixiecrat revolt. By 1964, the change was complete. While Republicans like to point to the fact that a higher percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, if you define the South as those states that committed treason a century earlier, Northern Democrats voted for them in a higher percentage than Northern Republicans, and Southern Democrats supported them in a higher percentage than Southern Republicans. The only difference being that there weren't many Southern Republicans in Congress at the time.

Liberals like to call “military” style firearms (cosmetic) “assault” weapons. These firearms are semi automatic (one single pull per round fired) are chambered in .223 cal which is slightly bigger than a .22 cal long rifle round. A 30-06 cal is almost 5 times bigger and is the primary round used by hunters.

Trump recently said that knife crime was out of control here in the UK, especially London, in one of his dumb rants against the mayor. In the speech, he implied that its because we don't have guns. Well, here's some simple stats on gun control, Mr Trump: USA 2019 - 250 mass shootings up to August 2019. Hardly any gun control, firearm possession normal. UK 2019 - Zero mass shootings although some single individuals did get shot. Strict gun control , even possession of an unlicensed gun can potentially get you 5 years in prison. Which country would you like to live in?. Statistically speaking, since we have what the NRA would consider 'communist' gun control, in the UK you are more likely to get struck by lightning.

F*** the NRA

[@cheetor18]

You should start a #f..kthenra on tweeter...

[@deweycox6511]

You can say F the NRA all you want. It's not going to change anything. There's an estimated 350 million guns on the streets already. Unless you're for a full-blown confiscation, no amount of gun control will stop the mass shootings.

[@deweycox6511]

@@phillipbenson7624 so...... my question is why would you want to disarm the public from effective weapons like AR-15s and AK-47s if we have a possible dictator in the Oval Office right now? I don't know about you but I would want to have as many tools at my disposal to try to put up a fight against a possible Hitler taking power. But then again I'm just a stupid guy who understands history.

[@RansomeStoddard]

@@deweycox6511 How about making it illegal to manufacture and sell guns, but no confiscation? Then the people who already have guns get to keep them so they can't bitch. And as you said, there are 350 million guns, so why would we need any more? Meanwhile, since the supply is restricted, the demand increases and the price of guns sky rockets. So the 20 year old loser who is mad at the world won't be able to afford a gun. Nor will the common thug on the street.

[@RansomeStoddard]

@@deweycox6511 Yes, I understand history as well. I know that in Australia guns were legal. Then in 1996 there was the Port Arthur Massacre. After that they banned guns. Since the ban, there has only been 1 mass shooting (Darwin Shooting, June 4, 2019). So yes, I would say that history shows that banning guns works to reduce mass shootings. As for Dictator Trump, I think all we need to do to get him out of the White House is to set up a large box on the White House lawn, propped up by a stick with a long string attached and a cheeseburger under it.

I agreee with you and its funny but the point of rifle having the best record of any sport,while it might not be true, is when people are playing it as a sport. You can beat someone to death with a baseball bat but that doesnt affect the safety record of baseball. Guns are dangerous, if you do it as a sport its slightly less so. Everything else is on point.
