The St Louis lawyer Mark McCloskey and his wife, who took their weapons in 2021 and brandish their weapons to the protesters, lost their appeals to aquire their weapons they lost after pleading guilty to the weapon charges.

And, probably are making money off of it ala the Trump business model.

22. The op says they "lost their appeals," whatever that means.

23. Should have added "next" to my subject line.

Which I now just corrected. Sometimes happens when I PWI*

24. Means

They are trying to gain back their weapons they gun weild their weapons as an act of intimidation of the peaceful protest through the court system. They just recently lost their case in the Missouri Court of Appeals and they are probably going to push to the MO Supreme Court. Either case, they pled guilty to the gun charges, it will be a tough road to overcome for the rule of law is not to be determined by ones name or political party affiliation.

2. Irresponsible gun owners, should lose their right to own guns.

1 strike law.

3. Prefer the 0 strike law

if you're a gun owner, then you're assumed to be irresponsible, and hence, should have the gun taken away. Zero strikes needed.

5. I don't own guns, never needed one. I've been all over the country.

It would not help a bad situation, most of the time.

11. You're saying make all guns illegal, revised yours a little bit

if you're a baseball owner, then you're assumed to be irresponsible, and hence, should have the
baseball taken away. Zero strikes or balls needed.

Not making fun of you just bored and thinking up silly things.

12. LOL that's a big NOPE in this country

Extremist "solutions" are why we can't have the nice things of sensible solutions.

Okay that's not really true in this case -- I don't know many actual Democrats who are seriously proposing to repeal the 2nd amendment; but when crap like "Defund the Police" gets bandied about too much, somehow we all get tarred with it and it gets in the way of actually solving the actual problems.

13. What was that (mis-attributed) quote from Gandhi?

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

We're between the laughing and fighting stage.

Apparently properly attributed to a trade union activist, Nicholas Klein.

14. You won't win this one in our lifetimes

Not as long as the U.S. remains governed by the current Constitution.

I'm not a gun owner myself but I know many gun owners. Some are definitely, actually, responsible gun owners. Others not as responsible as I'd like, but still within the range of someone who would be allowed to own a gun or a few under reasonable (and possibly attainable) gun laws.

There's a ton of restrictions that would be helpful, and should be low-hanging fruit in a reasonable political environment, but for some reason we can't even get those. The only way we get what you ask for, is by a devolution to authoritarian government.

20. Don't forget to Give Major Props to the NRA As One of the Key Governing Parties in This Fascist Dictatorship-to-be!

[Hieronymus Phact]

16. No thanks

There are millions of perfectly responsible gun owners.
But they're quiet, boring, and go their whole lives without make any news, or having any 'strikes'.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

17. 35+ years handling a wide variety of firearms without one single accident and, according to you,

because I own a firearm, I'm to be assumed to be irresponsible?
This is so fucking laughable its sad.

[Elessar Zappa]

19. That's a good way for us to lose every election for the next twenty years.

Millions of Democrats own guns.

4. how is his Senate run going?

Honestly i'm surprised he didn't win since rethugs only vote based on who they think will upset "libruuls" more.

He finished 5th in the rethug primary

8. Mark Who??

[AllaN01Bear]

6. good .

[DemocraticPatriot]

7. Ah, but they are not barred from buying new weapons....

I read about the case. They were 'pardoned', but that did not remove their 'guilt'--
and thus they can't get their guns back.... but they can go buy some more...

It cost money to threaten your countrymen continually....

9. Good!

[ailsagirl]

10. GOOD!!! n/a

[progressoid]

15. I have family that live a few blocks from these jokers.

Family members are African American so needless to say they were not too thrilled with the events of that day.

18. Good. Donate their confiscated weapons to Ukraine.....

where they will used as such weapons were intended to be used!
