I've really stopped questioning at this point and just arrived on an unshakable conclusion.

Jelle, please try your best to confine replies to multiple people to a singular post. It's not the end of the world if you make the occasional multi-post, but doing it excessively is spam.

If you're not sure how:

1) "Quote" a post like normal.
2) Once in "Post a Reply," scroll down the "Topic Review" below.
3) Click where in your post you'd like to add the next quote.
4) Click the "Quote" button to the other post you want to reply to in the "Topic Review." This will automatically copy that quote into your post.

Hope this helps. :)



Oh sorry,
Yeah I wasn't sure how to do that
Thanks! :)
Will definitely try it.

Yeah but by that standard not letting people stockpile plutonium cores in their basement is also suppression.
And I hope we can agree that’s not ok.

I auctally forgot about 3D printers.
But that’s all the more reason to ban bumpstocks.
They are an active threat.
Instead of just a loose end.

Look, my up knowledge of guns is somewhat limited, but really, the difference between killing 2 in a couple seconds, and 200.

You make a 3D design, and it prints it for you.
Some software is very easy.
And there are free models around the internet.

So basically, if you have a 3D printer and some plastic, you can upload a file from the internet, and make random stuff.

I would like to remind people.

That I believe in gun rights, but I am coming from the angle that we have a lot of people dying from guns in our country, and something needs to be done about it.

If you're willing to destroy gun rights as part of your solution, you don't truly believe in them.

Yes, denying people to store plutonium is suppression, I don't care either way about people storing plutonium.

What if there are 5 people that need killin' like say in a home invasion? Firearms are NOT a one size fits all.

Definition of a Karen:
Karen is a mocking slang term for an entitled, obnoxious, middle-aged white woman. Especially as featured in memes, Karen is generally stereotyped as having a blonde bob haircut, asking to speak to retail and restaurant managers to voice complaints or make demands, and being a nagging, often divorced mother from Generation X.

All of your positions sound extreme and you have not shown any room to compromise.

You yourself said that you agree that too many die from guns.
You just don’t care. (As I have been told numerous times).

For everyone else that does care about minimizing deaths.

I believe in people’s rights to defend themselves,
But I also believe in people’s right to be safe in our country.

You realize they are both the same exact firearm, yes? The only difference is cosmetic.
Which lets me know you are judging a firearm on how it looks and not on caliber or function.

The barrel and the mag looked the same,
But wow.

Lol jokes on you, one has a scope.
If they are the same the scope is superior.
The again AKs have bad recoil ...

Hmm......

Extreme is relative, compared to the rest of scoceity, you are the extremist.
A right with no limits.

And yeah, it’s a right, but not to infinity ..

Tel is correct. You just basically said, I believe in rights, but....
You're right we do need to do something, removing the plethora of infringements that hinder access to arms. Poor people and minorities are more so harmed by these infringements and keeps them from exercising their negative right.
Access to arms has a positive benefit more so than a negative.
