Most of us aren't seriously for terrorism in that manor, but I guarantee that over-regulating guns will create a violent black market. That's something that gun control advocates ignore.


Actually he's suggesting murdering police officers and arguing it's reasonable, not a dangerous black market.

So your argument is there is nothing worth killing or dying for?

Yes, it's been that way for literally all of human history.


Not really. Honestly, I'm finding it hard to come up with how to explain why murder is wrong to you so I'll skip that.

As for the 2nd part, do you see why you're all often dismissed as ignorant?

You keep insisting these counter-examples exist, and yet you provide as a "counter-example" people who have literally written tweets about nuking American cities over the issue of gun ownership...

Hey, in case you didn't k ow this yet. Nuclear warheads kill...


My counter example was 7.4 billion people.

And I'm disavowing that, while still arguing against gun control. I wouldn't treat a cop trying to unconstitutionally disarm me very kindly though.

No. If you think that's what I said, you're likely being dishonest.

I'm proving a point, follow along.

So, we are in agreement there are things worth killing and dying for. So where do you draw that line? For myself and millions of others, it is to preserve, protect, and defend the rights that are outlined in, but by no means provided by, the Constitution of the United States.

You disagree, which is fine, you don't live in the US, you don't have to agree. But you don't get to dismiss and put down those who disagree with your moral judgements because they are moral judgements, and there is no one universal morality or moral truth.

Actually I'm normally ok with different opinions but murdering police officers seem strange to me. Call me bigoted but I draw a line there.

And I didn't say that either.

No, i simply stated that I haven't encountered tiered someone who isnt willing to kill over the issue. And I called bullshit on the idea that such people make up 99% of people who aren't American conservatives.

I sort of do. Communists murdered those who opposed state ownership. Nazis murder to protect the ethnic purity of their country. Terrorists murder for God. Serial killers murder for pleasure.

Are you saying I can't dismiss them because they have different "moral judgements"?
