Video ‘guns have changed, shouldn’t our gun laws?"

[Kulindahr]

A law that's not mandatory is toothless and pointless. Background checks should be absolutely mandatory and there's no sane argument for anything else.

And yeah, have mandatory militia training. Lets turn the country into a military state. THAT will make everyone feel safe and will send all the right messages around the world.

Seriously, do you ever consider your... ideas... in the context of the actual reality? Obviously not, or you wouldn't be defending a culture with ten thousand gun deaths for each one in any other Western European country.

Or have you addressed that without me noticing?

Switzerland.

Israel.


Oh -- and read the message... that "military state" is only in your imagination. But if that's what you want to call it, the message it would send is simple: this country has on call millions of potential infantry who already know the basics.

BULLSHIT.

Hunting rifles are made explicitly for KILLING THINGS - nonhuman. Military weapons are made EXPLICITLY for killing people - "defense" (lol) firearms are made EXPLICITLY as weapons.

Dishonesty - table for two?

By the numbers, most firearms are never even pointed at something living. For that matter, most of the ammunition used in the U.S. isn't actually suitable for killing living things (unless you're VERY close to your target and/or VERY good at it).

 

[Kulindahr]

"Mandatory" militia training is just an attempt to suggest and end run around an amendment that clearly was not concerned with thieves and murderers.

Huh?

If a militia is "necessary to the security of a free state", making it mandatory is sensible.

Nobody swings swords at anyone anymore either and yet they were CLEARLY designed to be a deadly weapon.

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! Either it's a weapon useful for doing enough HUMAN damage to stop murderers, rapists, and tyrants, hence DESIGNED to be lethal, or regulate away since it's just like a shovel.

You are being intellectually dishonest just like Rolyo accused you of - and you know it.

Only if you then agree that since those words are to be treated EXACTLY as written "Militia" must also mean solely male, white, property owners just like they intended.

One or the other - CHOOSE.
