    Lol way to show how ignorant you are. Again you want a civil war? Because congratulations you just started one. No 2/3rds of the states will ratify the Constitution to remove the 2nd as well, and more people are pro gun than people who aren’t… considering the majority of you antigun groups are white picket fence types that live in ivory towers…just like you have clearly demonstrated here.

    You can call gun owners pieces of shit all you want, but that doesn’t magically make you the good guy. Majority of repubs are gun owners, and a good 1/3rd of Dems are now as well (and we’re growing at a rapid pace). So while you only pop your head up to kick and scream when a shooting like this occurs, the rest of us are trying to push for policies that actually will curb the suicides and violence overall.

      I’m completely okay with you repeatedly admitting that gun owners would use violence to overthrow democracy if that democracy decided that human lives were more important than their hero fantasies.

      There’s no need to dress it up with self-aggrandising threats of civil war, you can just say what you mean: If anyone ever comes to your door to peacefully enforce a law you’ve broken, you’ll kill them.

      So while you only pop your head up to kick and scream when a shooting like this occurs, the rest of us are trying to push for policies that actually will curb the suicides and violence overall.

      A lie that doesn’t hold up with even a glance at the history books.

        Yes keep telling me how your ok with calling it democracy to using force to take firearms from people. A very small minority want all the guns banned, congrats you’re the psycho in this scenario where you tell the gov. To go kill civilians who you disagree with. How Nazi of you.

        A lie that doesn’t hold up with even a glance at the history books.

        What doesn’t? The fact that there are policies that would drastically reduce the number of firearm deaths in this country that don’t involve going door to door collecting guns and killing your fellow Americans?

        Like single payer?

        Or

        Ending the war on drugs?

        Or

        Police reform, since they kill on average 1k Americans a year

        Or

        Ending qualified immunity?

        Or

        Paying teachers properly and building more schools so class room sizes are smaller?

        Or

        Ending for profit prisons which directly target minorities?

        Or

        Stopping our insistent need to send soldiers to kill for oil?

        Or

        Making sure all kids and families that need safety nets get them, no matter what they’re dealing with?

        What history are you talking about again? Or are these things not good enough because they don’t involve murdering millions of people because they own firearms? For someone who really wants to stop the deaths, sure sounds like you have a hard on for killing people.

          “Democracy is when you give people guns”

          A very small minority want all the guns banned

          Yes, because people who advocate for gun controls don’t actually want to ban all guns, they want to reduce the number of violent people with guns.

          But that will hurt gun lobby profits, so the pro-gun crowd calls everything a gun ban and continues selling guns to murderers.

          To go kill civilians who you disagree with. How Nazi of you.

          Your gaslighting doesn’t really work on the internet when all the comments are right there.

          I already explicitly stated all the peaceful ways the new laws could be resolved and unsurprisingly, you threatened to kill anyone enforcing them in a civil war because you’d rather see half a million people killed than prove you know how to safely handle a firearm.

          Or do you think you should be able open fire on anyone you disagree with and face no repercussions? That tracks with the people in pro-gun forums who struggle to hide how much they’d love to fire their AR-15s into a crowd of progressive protesters.

          Like single payer? Etc etc etc

          Oh shit, that’s a massive list of issues it looks like you’re going to have to fix before your gun laws are safe to reimplement. Best of luck with the Republicans who will oppose every single one.
