gun manufacturing rates (and overall number of firearms in the US) correlates to the shooting incident rate. gun ownership rates by households with firearms hasn't drastically changed. people owning small stockpiles is a more recent and dangerous issue

This is not what your statistics indicate.

These stats only show from 1986 onwards, when the trend was already headed in that direction.

Even then, it wasn't a dramatic climb from 1986 until today.

Additionally, there was a major weapons ban in 1986 specifically so it is natural that there would be fewer guns manufactured then.

Youre delusional if you think you can change fundamental human nature.

How many school shooting happened before weapons manufacturers started selling wholesale semi-automatic weapons to every tom dick and Harry that wanted one?

Not very many.

Coincidentally not many shootings happened after either.

Shootings went on the rise AFTER gun control was instilled. (Semi automatics were available since late 1800's.)

The Thompson Machine gun, a fully automatic military grade portable machine gun, was publicly available with zero background check or any gun control whatsoever, since 1921. Which ended in the ban of 1986.

I don't see a correlation.

What does military grade mean to you

It means absolutely nothing. I threw in the buzzword to make a point that it is a completely meaningless term.

In this context, it loosely means that it is the exact same gun that the military used at the time.

You guys keep making the same argument 50 times, you're going to get the same response 50 times.

No solution will be effective

Fixed for accuracy.

Because unless we literally raid every home and building for firearms, any gun control we pass will not get rid of the guns in society. Even making them illegal will create a guns black market that will make guns even cheaper and more accessible than before.

In all seriousness, this is absolutely correct.

We need to do better for one another.

You're high on your farts if you think we're better than Chinese people

Yeah by claiming military people should be attacked or that they are a danger to us.

They ARE a danger to us.

That's cold, hard fact of life.

It's not a great plan...

But what's your plan for when your government kicks down your door for random contraband searches at 3am?

If we die in the process...

Good. That means not only are we liberated from them, but we can't perform labor for them.

MLK jr's granddaughter said she dreams of a gun-free America...

This will never happen. Never ever EVER happen. Not in a million years. Literally impossoble. Because if nothing else our military will be armed for the sake of defense.

Military cannot be trusted to monopolize the guns.

Besides I would be a crappy immigrant. I would not assimilate at all and I would be actively working to turn the new country into America 2.

Fuck the NRA. They sold out our gun rights the first time for their racist BS.

If you had any high standards you'd seek to leave the shithole that is America and move to one of the many other better 1s world countries that actually operate like one. Highly recommended as an American myself. Country doesn't care about you and it wont fix itself just because you stay and suffer. It made its choice and it was to not benefit its citizens and instead would lie to them and spin the propaganda machine like communist countries. Leave and let it rot or rot with it.

Without a single shadow of doubt that there is no where else I'd rather be.

If I said the kind of things I say here in any other country, I would be in jail. I would not be able to enjoy uncensored media in any other country.

America may fall apart, but I will gladly work hard to build it back up again. You are right it won't fix itself. It will take people to put in the effort.

Why do Americans fetishize thoughts of killing government employees so much?

Because they abuse their authority over us.

Guns are not political representation.

"Political power grows from the barrel of a gun."

-Mao Tse-tung, shortly before disarming and enslaving the people.

When it comes to who you're going to enslave for profit, who are you going to enslave? The people with guns or the people without?

dainkinkaide posted...

No it isn't. That would require entirely separate legislation that would never in a million years pass Congress and, even if by some miracle it did, would immediately be challenged by opposing parties and any federal court of appeals would, without much deliberation, recognize that it quite obviously violates the Second and Fourth Amendments and strike it down as unconstitutional.

The only reason why the Constitution has any weight is because the government generally chooses to follow it.

The government, any day, could choose not to follow it. As they have many times before.

TigerTycoon posted...

People voted for Donald Trump because they were defying the establishment that wants more and more power though.

Hillary was the definition of status quo "just letting it happen".

Not that it really changes anything, all Trump does is throw a wrench in the gears of the government for 4 years, he can't do anything while the entire government is working together to try and oust him so they can get back to doing whatever they want (which is all people really expected).

This is honest to everything why I voted for Trump.

There were two extremely bad options. The tie breaker was that Hillary was going to go "According to plan" which was extremely bad for us. Where as Donald Trump was going to run amok and fuck everything up.

So I picked the latter.

dainkinkaide posted...

Your nation built itself on getting significant help from France and wanting representation in parliament. That's hardly "self reliance" or "defiance of authority".

Regardless, all anyone is really asking for as far as gun regulations are concerned is something like what Switzerland does: Criminal background checks and psychiatric evaluation before you can purchase a gun, mandatory permits for most guns and registration for all guns (preferably at a state level), and no gun show loophole. If you throw in Canada's limits on magazine capacity and/or restrictions on certain firearms preventing them from being used outside a gun range, then, as far as most gun control advocates are concerned, you'd be golden.

Then, to actually solve most gun violence once and for all, you just need to take the relatively simple step of ending poverty and racism.

You say that ending poverty is relatively simple, and yet no nation on earth has solved it.

I very much disagree with psychiatric evaluation, because that's giving the government power to determine who is allowed to have political representation.

I also disagree with registration, because as we've painfully learned. Registration is giving the government power of removal.

Shouldn't you be disrespectful toward the people who orchestrated these wars instead? It is very easy to judge and imagine one would act differently in their shoes, but virtually no one is an Edward Snowden or Chelsea Manning when tried. You're asking people to violate the oath they swore when they joined, to obey the orders of the President and their COs, and to face harsh punishment from a military tribunal for an act of defiance that is very unlikely to make a difference in the grand scheme of things. That is no simple thing to ask of people who are putting their lives on the line for very little pay, and likely have families depending on them.

It takes two to tango here.

One to choose to give the orders, and the other to choose to follow. Both are at fault here.

The soldier's oath is to the people and the constitution. It is not to the government, it is not even to the country.

Selenara posted...

No, they don't deserve the disrespect. They realize more painfully than anyone else how screwed up these wars are. That's why they overwhelmingly vote for libertarian candidates

If they disagreed with the wars it is their responsibility to disobey their orders to carry it out.

Instead of resisting the orders, they chose to murder people. That is why they deserve no respect.

Lokarin posted...

If anything, they're safer in the hands of the public since they're less effective in the hands of one.

You were allowed to own such weapons back in the day.

To the "The government would win" people....

When government wages war on its own people, the objective is to sow fear. Because it is impossible for the government to have a total military victory over its own people.

You're their capital, if they kill every single civilian, the government will implode on itself.

Furthermore, if the populace refuses to be governed, it is impossible for the government to win. Literally, physically impossible.

SushiSquid posted...

Also super disrespectful of our military.

Then I will disrespect the shit out of the military.

Our military is currently waging war in Afghanistan and Syria. They ruined Iraq. The military killed countless people in Vietnam. They deserve the disrespect.

SushiSquid posted...

That's extremely disrespectful to our military and shows a complete ignorance of the training they go through.

You're disrespecting our nation's people.

The question is not about whether or not they're trained to handle it. The problem is that Military can and will abuse their power over citizens.

JTekashiro posted...

Right, that is why countries with little to no guns among the civilian population experience constant political uprisings...

Are you incredibly bad at paying attention to current events?

Venezuela.
North Korea.
China
Nazi Germany
USSR
Cuba
Brazil
Egypt
Somalia
Saudi Arabia

All of the above had their government usurp the people, and their people were disarmed

SushiSquid posted...

The fuck outta here with this shit. There's no fucking reason for the average person to have military weapons. Even handguns should be much more regulated with background checks and inspections. This wild west bullshit is killing people and it's fucked up.

Why should military have military weapons then?

They're not more trustworthy than civilians are.

The nation that built itself on self reliance and defiance of authority is demanding more authority en masse.

Donald Trump sits in the oval office. We're still involved in multiple wars for profit overseas. We live in an era with rampant police brutality, and a system that depends on keeping a high prison population.

Yet you all want more of it. You all want to take away your power and give it to the government because we are incapable of solving problems ourselves.

We are all truly slaves to the system. This is the future you chose. As Mao Tse'tung once said: "Political power grows from the barrel of a gun." Which he said shortly before disarming the population and enslaving them.

Unfortunately this is all I have left for now.
