[@dmf1301]

Nothing will change anytime soon. It’s not even half way through 2023 right now, and there’s been a record number of shootings already. There will be many more in the 2nd half of the year, then even more next year, and so on. That’s how stupid humanity is. 😞

[@coldpuck]

"Guns dont kill people, people do" Yeah, so dont give them a gun.

[@andrewphillips8341]

Oh? How about knives, acid and Muslim grooming gangs?

[@stevieme8642]

Guns are addictive just like gambling and sex and video games are. It's an addictive behavior for some people. With a gun they think they won't have to be afraid anymore. They can make other people afraid instead. That makes them feel strong and powerful, something they can't get anywhere else. Somebody really needs to study this phenomenon. I don't respect or associate with people like that. It's not safe.

[@skybussey6147]

Videogames are addictive because you can have a life and go out without looking over your shoulder hoping the crazy guy doesn't have a gun Or the guy in a red hat Atleast in America this is the case being blamed for shootings and stuff from time to time

[@keithwilliams744]

It’s always called for God and thoughts and prayers to fix the problem. Sometimes you forget they are law makers and the constitution was written and rewritten by politicians.

[@squidcaps4308]

lol... the 2nd amendment is about militia... It is funny how that is always forgotten, the well regulated militia part. Grandmas are not in militia. Neither is Billy-Bob...

[@danielseaburg9763]

a civil militia. You and ya mates standing at dover stopping illegals from invading would be considered a militia, and thus, justified.

[@davedavids57]

Yer the definition of a militia is just civilians under arms. Look at Ukraine, once Russia attacked the government created a national militia. Grandmas, Grandpas and even Ukrainian billy bobs joined. They were told to bring any civilian held firearms with them, as logistics were almost impossible due to the war. It makes sense if you think about it, if everyone who wants to defend their countries has their own gun and ammo then it's very very hard for a hostile nation to mount a surprise attack by taking out your depots. The army is effectively everywhere. That's why in Switzerland every male has to have a gun at home.

[@davedavids57]

Also interesting fact a militia and paramilitary organisation is fairly well defined in UK law. The 1936 public order act was created to prevent militias (right and left) from existing without government approval. Under that simply wearing an armband, or saying an oath would count as membership. The Home Guard is a good example of a government organised UK militia. For the first 6 months of it's existing it wasn't issued with weapons and was expected to bring (privately owned firearms) and make (petrol bombs, even knives on poles) it's own weapons. Watch the first two series of Dad's army. That's what a militia is. Corporal Jones the Butcher is the definition of a Billy Bob :p Also Captain mainwaring trying to get the privately owned shot gun in the first episode. The US Home Guard (which did exist) didn't have such problems!!

[@1911GreaterThanALL]

Unorganized militia is defined as any able bodied person by state constitution. Well regulated has been used many times in founding documents and not once has it been used to refer to legislation.

[@MKR5210]

And they are certainly not regulated 🤔

[@oliversherman2414]

If "Guns don't kill people, people do" then just don't give said people guns. Simple as f*ck solution

[@smudger671]

[@LeeBv9983]

That insert video about the number of guns in America is way out of date. Currently there are 1.2 guns in American for EVERY person, including newborns. in 2021 there were over six guns sold for every baby born in the country.

[@carolmurphy7572]

If the deaths of the children at Sandy Hook Elementary School didn't move people enough to accept that there must be a change, nothing will. The founding fathers of the "greatest country in the world" could not possibly be wrong about anything. The "In God We Trust" motto must mean that only God can fix things and, if he doesn't, then he must be fine with it?

[@JChang0114]

You can amend the Constitution if you disagree. Just get 2/3 of the Congress to propose repealing the 2A and 3/4 of the states to agree.

[@danielseaburg9763]

yeah cos guns pull their own triggers right? I guess in england we need more bomb control, too many british children have been blown up in the name of imaganiry goat fxxker, so more bomb laws please daddy government. cos it's not the person making the bomb, and blowing themselves up, that's the problem, nono, it's the bomb itself, being the problem.

Vote with your feet. Move to the U.K. if you prefer.

[@JervisGermane]

Since no other Americans have pointed it out yet, we can't do anything about it because we're not addressing the real problems and we're not being given any choices. If the people actually had representation and a voice, we'd do something about it. That's why special interests spend billions every year making sure we don't get them.

[@AngelicusImmortus]

God gave humans the right to self govern. It’s humans who choose to carry guns, it’s humans who allow others to carry guns with impunity. God or not, don’t pray for them when you’re not doing anything to solve the problem yourself.

[@phaedradg]

This is so extremely tragically sad. The US, a country with more guns than people, see guns as a right. A right to kill other people. To protect themselves, from other people with guns. The killing isn't stopping, it's getting worse. Some call themselves "pro gun". What does that even mean? Does that mean that they cheer whenever yet another school- or mass shooting occurs? DO they celebrate the number of victims? Do they keep the scores? Or maybe they grab all of their guns, jump into their oversized trucks and drive to the place of the massacre, hoping to kill some more? Nobody seems to feel safe in the US...one wonders why. And what do they do to get rid of this feeling of insecurity? They buy guns. For themselves, and for their children. Machine guns for girls. Why not. They don't see the negative spiral, and they make sure their children don't see it either. They just repeat the mantras, the slogans, the lies. It's all about our freedom, son. The freedom to kill each other. Yeah, because the other guy has that freedom too, and he has guns, so we buy more guns. And yet we feel unsafe. How is that even possible?

[@Anon54387]

Guns ARE a right.

[@phaedradg]

@@Anon54387 Human life is a fundamental right. Guns are gadgets, designed and intended to end human life. Guns are not a right. They are a choice. A bad choice, for that matter. I can live a gun-free life in a country where nobody needs a gun. That proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are no right in any form, nor a need. We can live perfectly without them. The are not a necessity. We don't want them. And seeing what sort of misery they cause in the US, makes us resent them. We are all very happy and blessed to be able to live in a free country, where you don't need these lethal things to feel safe. The US is not a free country, if you need a gun to feel safe in everyday life. That is terribly sad and tragic, really. You have less freedom than us, in our socialist based countries.

Will we be safer when guns are only in the hands of the most powerful? 1911: Turkey; citizens disarmed - 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered 1929: Russia; citizens disarmed - 20 million Russians murdered 1935: China; citizens disarmed - 20 million Chinese killed 1938: Germany; citizens disarmed - 6 million Jews murdered 1956: Cambodia; citizens disarmed - 1.7 million “intellectuals”, men, women, and children killed 1964: Guatemala; citizens disarmed - 100,000 Mayan Indians massacred 1970: Uganda; citizens disarmed - 300,000 Christians put to death Also, the slaves in the United States were, of course, not allowed to be armed.. Look throughout human history at just how ugly we are as human beings.. There's a damn good reason why our right is protected in the Bill of Rights.

[@phaedradg]

@@emmittmatthews8636 Maybe have a look outside America, and outside American history books. In Europe, we live perfectly safe without any weapons around. If all you are trying to claim is true, then how come I have been able to live whole my life unarmed, just like everyone that I know? I don't know anybody in the whole country that ever expressed the need for buying a gun. They would be sent to a doctor, to see if they are allright. US citizens are constantly being brainwashed by the nra and the politicians in their pocket. It's all in your head.

The reason for the 2A is hundreds of years out of date. King George is dead and there are no Redcoats. The government has never been even remotely liable of oppressing the people to a degree to cause a national uprising. Get your heads out of your arses and your arses out of the early 1800's There are only 3 countries only the planet have Gun Rights, 3 ban guns completely and the rest have various levels of control.

[@csjrogerson2377]

@@davedavids57 How does that help the US case. It doesnt. Cz is one of the 3 countries in the world where gun ownership is a right, but there are still more controls than there are in the US and the Czs dont kill anywhere near as many people as the Yanks do. So the problem is the Yanks. The US allows too many idiots, mentally ill and criminals access to guns, hence the problem. The murder rate of Cz in 2021 was 0.7, in the UK it was 1.17/100,000. This included murders by all methods. Would be more useful to use figures for murders by firearms. When you've done that compare them to the US, not each other as that is immaterial.
