@@hipsterkiwi4653 read the 2 A it says shal not be infringed and they are doing it for years its proved that strict gun control results in higher crime because criminals then know people cant defend, u can check chicago and new york since gun law restricts guns more and you cant even cary them out of ur house the crime has been on the rise . And u can check that every year 500000 and more people are saved by gun owners so start thinking with ur own head I moved from a country with law that makes guns illegal and yet every year there is about 500 gun deaths and we only have 4 million people STOP SUPORTING ANTI GUN POLITICIANS BECAUSE THEY ONLY THINK ABOUT THEIR PROFIT LOTS OF THEM LIKE BLOOMBERG HAVE PERSONAL BODYGUARDS AND THEN THEY ARE TRYING TO BAN WHOLE BUNCH OF GUNS AND THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT SEMI AUTO IS OR WHAT THE BULLET COMES OUT OF THX FOR READING AND REMEMBER IF THEY CAN CHANGE AND REMOVE 2A RIGHTS FEW YEARS LATER IT WILL BE 1A RIGHTS UINTILL THEY SAY OH THE CONSTITUTION IS TOO OLD WE NEED TO ADAPT TO NEW TIMES

And please don't call them assault weapons, assault weapon is a completely made up word based off of the word assualt rifle, and ar 15s are not assault rifle.

[@averyt4926]

Guns are objects. They don't hold much value until they are in the hands of people. Guns are not more valuable than people but, without arms, people are mostly defenseless against anything that could be forced on them or taken away. So, in a way, guns give people as a whole more value in the eyes of anyone who would try to do this. It may not seem like it now, but our right to keep and bear arms could very well be the difference between life and death. Perhaps, it already has been (as a deterrent). Without the means to defend ourselves, we are herd animals vulnerable to slaughter (or a number of other things). Imagine a medieval-era scenario in which common people were armed with weapons. Would the monarchs be happy about this? Probably not, because it increases their value as human beings to the point that it rivals their own. So, in closing, no we do not value guns more than people. We value our right to defend ourselves because that maintains our value as human beings.

We need this speech again

[@rollsroycenetwork1221]

The reason why this always happens is because people in the past fell for republicans “Not the time for politics, it’s time for healing” line. Then it goes on and on again.

[@KyleAlbanese]

Please explain to me how a gun law is going to stop a bad guy from getting a hold of a gun. There have been guns in this country for hundreds of years and we've only seen an increase of mass shootings over the last 10 to 15 years. The problem isn't guns. The problem is that we have too many mentally disturbed people roaming around thinking that they can do whatever they want without any consequences. You have more children today growing up in a single parent household without both parents present. There are more teens and young adults today who are depressed because of social media. More children, teens, and young adults are socially isolated than ever before. The problem isn't guns. The problem is society. The problem is social media. The problem is children not facing consequences for their actions. If gun control is the answer, then why didn't Obama do anything about guns when he was president? Why hasn't Biden done anything about guns? Why does the responsibility only fall on republicans?

Hell, we went from sainity to insanity. Our constitution needs a big fix to have allowed our current situation is. I'm glad I saw this again to remind me of how far we have fallen. Even though I'm very sad now. We must remove profitering from our government. It's painfully obvious. Lock the amounts of campaign funding and establish equivalency measures to the scope of advertisement. Improve education, and encourage critical thinking skills in primary education.

The last coherent, competent, intelligent, insightful, perspective, true leader, rational and mentally stable President that was in the White House. Trump WILL NEVER possess any of these qualities as a leader of this great Nation. The day Trump stepped into office was the beginning of America falling into despair, hate, division, and racism emboldened to it's highest in this era. America truly misses what real leadership was in a President such as Obama and has now succumbed to evil, Trump.
