It's so funny because you are right - on one hand they seem to hate the police and want anarchy / mob rule - but on the other hand they want to empower the government to take our freedom away.It seems that's what the ones on the left want.
Look at how they treat the police and law and order. We have law and order in this Country. This isn't the Congo. LOL You got garbage, I mean, "protestors" sitting in roadways and streets/highways blocking traffic. Because,........anarchy. All communist/anarchist scum. In other words, the misfits and cretins of society.
They want trespassers to walk freely as they wish into our Country and get all the free benefits while sending monies back to their homeland. That's disgusting!! While spitting on the American ground and American Flag that we love so much.
GTFO!
Dems are indoctrinating the young and encouraging them to do all the mob and anarchist BS, because these kids are willing to do things that appear to be counter-cultural and rebellious. Once enough of them can vote (in theory), it accomplishes the "losing freedom" part because they will go straight to the socialist ideals they are being taught.It's so funny because you are right - on one hand they seem to hate the police and want anarchy / mob rule - but on the other hand they want to empower the government to take our freedom away.
Ever hear of Antifa?"mob and anarchist BS"
not really. Maybe like 12 people feel that way, but young people have been for the dems for decades now because they are more progressive and change with times. Also, young kinds don't like hearing about all these school shooting that the cons are doing exactly zero about.
You don't seem to know much about guns - but no surprise since you stated your only experience is in games.Yes, I agree.
But Antifa is hardly a threat to anyone. At best, they break some windows with bats. The Antifa scare, like the immigration invasion scare is blow way out of proportion on the opinion side of fox news and alt right sites. Its a few kids here and there generally pissed off about fascism and are perhaps taking it a little too far with vandalism. I live in Berkeley and have yet to see 1 of them.
Recently in Portland, we saw them come out to counter proud boys in Portland - another misguided group intended to stoke hate and violence and toxic masculinity. proud boys should be protested but peacefully. You can't fight hate with hate, that just leads to killing.
Cities:
You have an environmental pressure in cities where they are generally more stressful and have far larger economical gaps -- this leads to a lot of positive and negative features. Among them is violence and so guns end up being used a lot. So you are right, liberals are most affected by gun violence because most of us are in large cities. I have been saying for year, Mass shootings drive up the emotion but average gun violence from pistols is the real threat, like you said, 30-1.
But we have to have the bar set here because its too easy to get a gun, bring it across the state line or county line and use it in a city. The other month I was at a festival right near Gilroy the day before that mass shooting with my 3 and 4 year old. The guy bought that AR-15 in Nevada. The bar has to be higher. I think anyone that want to own an automatic should be licensed and trained for it and pass some basic sanity class or something and probably be 21 or older, but that's my opinion. AR's should just be banned and if you don't agree with that just ask why do we ban SMG weapons? There is obvious precedent of lethally that we clearly already have instantiated. Why can't I buy a KRISS Vector with full auto? We already have a lethal threshold. It just needs to move a little.
I like guns, I play first person shooters and have for almost 20 years. For me, playing the games removes the need to own or shoot most weapons and its way safer. Most people are responsible but we gotta set the bar for the crazies. There are almost 400m of us now :O
And it's your perogative to passively die in your sleep, but you have no right to inflict that fate upon anyone who chooses to do otherwise."problem with liberals"
maybe the problem is with stereotypes no?
I don't care about defending anyone in my home. If someone was gonna break in in the middle of the night intent on killing me, then I'm dead with or without a gun, It won't matter. I'm asleep!
2nd Amendment also asserts a well formed militia. You support that part too? How about well formed in 1. age, 2. training and 3. ensuring everyone with a gun is a good responsible owner while they have the gun(s). Do you have take issue with that? "Well formed" is the constitution. Secondly, your gun is mostly a false sense of security and if you were involved in an incident with another person you, me and everyone else stands a good change not having the gun loaded in hand and knowing where your enemy is. The problem is that first strike is usually last to die. That's why the Dayton and Gilroy shooters were able to kill 20 people in about 60 seconds right in front of police -- didnt even matter. AR is too lethal much like an SMG -- that was my point. And most Americans agree and that's why I'm betting it will be banned come 2021.
Why do we force people to get drivers license?You choose to do what's right for you, and give me the courtesy of doing the same. Make sense?
Glad you feel that way and I'm sure you feel more safe when criminals that break into your home don't have a gun because they can't buy oneThe majority of people, if not damn near all, that discuss politics remind me of Steven Crowder change my mind segments. They act like they want to listen, but have no intention of actually having their mind changed. No argument is going to change your mind comparing a semi automatic rifle to a SMG.
also, simply safe has a decent alarm system that’s not that expensive. At least be warned when someone breaks in. Between my basic alarm system, 2 mini aussies and the advantage of me knowing my house I have a pretty good chance of defending myself and my loved ones even if it is 3AM and I’m asleep.
