  1. Why don't Democrats understand that if you try to take our rifles there will be multiple mass shootings in self defense.

  2. I doubt I could less what the survivors call for. You would think they would NOT push others to be weak, unarmed, and defenseless like them.

  3. Will not comply.
    You don't get to open our borders, defund the police, abolish cash bail, and release violent criminals onto our streets and then tell me with what I am and am not allowed to defend my family.
    Nope. I'll be keeping all of mine and that includes a whole lot of the big black scary ones.

  4. Me: why can’t I own any gun I want?

    Libs: cause the streets is dangerous.

    Me: exactly. Why wouldn’t I want to be equally armed to the extent that the criminal is?

    Example: full auto glock vs single action 9mm, that glock is smoking the single action. Why do y’all wanna inhibit would be victims from being able to prevent the attacks?

  5. So they want to limit the second ammendment but dont like that they cant kill babies?

  6. All these proposed gun bans violate the 2nd amendment and the recent Bruen decision. Any new laws will be struck down.

  7. Imagine being so privileged that you can afford to just random drop everything and not only go to just any protest, but a protest where you're demanding to have LESS RIGHTS.

  8. REALLY LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDE BEFORE CONDEMNING ½ OF THE COUNTRY.

  9. I think it's the height of stupidity to protest to give rights aways.

  10. Okay so assult is an action could be classified with a pistol, rifle, golf club, knife…. ect. Mine hasn't jumped up and shot someone maybe hold people accountable for their actions and stop blaming a piece of metal

  11. cute, but you democrats end more human lives in a week with your abortions than all the mass shootings victims in the last 20 years. i guess you think new lives just aren't important.

  12. You realize that there hasn’t been hundreds of mass shootings

  13. BEWARE OF GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT IN ORGANIZED HARASSMENT

  14. Define "assault weapon" first. A Winchester 100 can load 30 .308 in a mag but won't be considered an assault weapon cause it's mainly made of wood…

  15. I support the second amendment because I want there to be more mass shootings

  16. Silence the second. Repeal the second amendment: 1.5 sentences of gibberish left by dead ancestors to visit not freedom, but chaos and misery on the affairs of their living descendants.

  17. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

  18. My 2nd Amendment right doesn't end where your little feelings and emotions begin. None of these people have the balls to go door to door themselves confiscating "assault rifles". 40-50 million known AR-15's in America. Supreme Court ruling NYSRPA v. Bruen protects commonly used firearms and accessories. Your useless gun bans will be struck down just as soon as they are enacted. Sulk more. If you don't like guns, you're free to leave the country.

  19. 2019 comparison of deaths between Firearm related homicide:All Firearm deaths:All Vehicle deaths:All Suicides:Drug-induced deaths:Abortions is as follows

    2 : 4 : 4 : 5 : 7 : 63

    (per 10,000. i.e. 70,000 drug-induced deaths roughly)

    Obviously there will be some overlap between suicides and firearms but people always want to talk about the total firearm toll not just the homicide toll.

    Those curious about the total lives lost from these causes from 1996 to 2019 In the order of Firearm related homicide:All Firearm deaths:All Vehicle deaths:All Suicides:Drug-induced deaths:Abortions:Total death toll is as follows

    311,100 : 788,901 : 964,587 : 884,884 : 951,328 : 19,146,266 : 60,388,803

    that's roughly 3 : 8 : 10 : 9 : 10 : 192 : 604

    But yes let's keep the narrative that guns are the problem.
