Most shootings are committed by men. More men are republicans than democrats. Most shootings are committed by republicans. QED.

Lol of course the answer is not gun control, it's more security for Congressmembers.

At the UPS shooting yesterday where they DIDN'T have Capitol Police on hand to personally protect them, three people ended up killed. Four if you count the suspect.

This is their go to solution for all shootings. It's amazing they're always able to find money for increased security but the cupboards are bare when poor people need healthcare or food.

What will they do? Before I guess the answer, are we sure Info Wars people believe the original Civil War happened? They don't have a good track record wrt major historical events

Define gun nut.

And while you're at it, define bumpkin as it relates to someone who's spent his entire life living in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd largest urban American cities.

Lastly, if you're feeling ambitious explain why you feel it's necessary for local police forces to be so much better armed than the citizens they serve.

I'm all for reducing guns on the streets through buy back programs or whatever. Also, common sense gun control, background checks, waiting periods, etc. Heck, I'm even fine with gun laws that limit to one revolver per household.

I'm just saying citizens should be allowed to arm themselves up to the extent that police forces can.

It sounded to me like +Rep is ready to get it on a few posts back. It's the first time I ever found myself cheering him on.

Obv I'm a lol brit but this seems crazy to me. Police should have more firepower than the average citizen because they're, you know, the police. They should be on the side of good so we want them to be stronger than the bad guys. I get that the police in the US have issues let's say but surely even so if you want to balance the scales just take guns off of everyone police and civilian alike. The cops have tanks so the citizens should have bazookas? Just take the tanks off the cops.

That's not material to a 2A argument. The 2A says nothing about what arms a well trained militia shall have.

I could say the same about you and the arguments you make, but it's faster to just laugh at their stupidity.

Right because if it did, it would say muskets d'oh!

I'm not going to copy and paste the 2nd Amendment for you. It's available online if you ever want to read through it.

85% of the readers of this thread know your argument is complete junk and rather than debate what everyone but you already knows they just lol, which is appropriate in these situations

Dude, your arguments don't deserve consideration they are so stupid. No where is it ever even remotely claimed that citizens should be as well armed as the police, citizens don't fight the police, criminals do. Basing your support of the 2A an that lame ass idea is ridiculous on the face of it and deserves derision so you may realize you have stupid ideas and un**** yourself. No one is holding their breath for it mind you...

Publish false news because it fits your narrative then come up with the real news.

Maybe I missed your point and you're suggesting incompetence over dishonesty?
