It's not to stop mass shootings because the vast majority of mass shootings come from people who were perfectly normal up until the day they woke up and decided to kill people.

So why indeed?


I don't have any right wing sources because I'm not right wing.
Most of the other gun rights people on NSG know this already.

I can only give you my theory from a leftist perspective that views gun control through class issues and in some case race issues.

And it paints that gun control mostly comes from a group of people who personally never need to use guns so in their mind no one needs to use guns.

I could develop more but are you really willing to listen?


Just having some fun.

Not to my knowledge. There are claims of threats being made, hence the 'state of emergency', but apparently not enough of a threat to arrest those responsible.


I have every confidence that the US government will demonstrate to us the proper way to end these types of protests/insurrections

I’m sure that when they move in to make arrests, they won’t have to beat anyone even when things get heated up... the beatings are only needed when your police force isn’t “sufficiently well trained”... even when surrounded and with large crowds moving around, people resisting arrests, all the arrests shall be made without any physical beating

Am I right ?

When the time comes, the USA will meet the demands of the rebels (or find a way to magically end it all without any use of minimum necessary force)

That's the problem with being a leftist who supports gun rights, all the sources are from right wingers who can't help but see it through their right wing lenses. :roll:

Trying to find some left wing sources behind gun rights will take awhile but I will find it for you at least.

Reminds me of Fallout 2, where one must do stealthy shit before getting married lest one's wife try to charge Enclave bases head-on and entirely unarmed.

Cheaper than a divorce though, I guess.

No it's simply not engaging, why waste time collecting data for someone who has no intention of actually reading it and changing their views?

Neu is at least willing to engage with me and I respect that.

I've seen too many bad faith posts by Vassenor to accept their offers for sources to be sincere.

Really the only reason I haven't added them to block is sometimes they say something profound.

True but at least we have had some interesting discussion here.

The idea on how a county could secede, the possible legalities of various things, on if these supposed militias are a serious threat or are just a bunch of idiotic internet tough guys who will promptly wet themselves if the police showed up... on if Antifa is really planning to show up and what they are going to do there.
