(6,655 posts)the "Founding Fathers" actually wanted every American to be armed with a semi-automatic, high capacity weapon is more than laughable. You and your Gungeon buddies reflect the type of mentality that placed this country in the number one position in the world for gun deaths and injuries.
You and your "but the 2nd Amendment guarantees my right to own as many guns and as much ammo as I want," crowd are the embodiment of all that's wrong with this country. No one gives a rat's ass about the advancement of "firearm technology" except gun fetishists and NRA sheep. No, you do NOT have the right to flood this country with weapons designed specifically for the purpose of killing large numbers of people quickly. No, you do NOT have the right to carry a gun anywhere, at anytime, and for any reason. No you do NOT have the right to totally ignore the first part of the sentence of the 2nd Amendment.
There is a growing movement of sane Americans who have decided that hiding behind the 2nd Amendment is no longer a valid excuse for encouraging the death of our children. Your NRA idol's answer of placing even more guns in schools is a slap in the face to the parents and victims of the recent carnage we witnessed. The NRA is about to fight its last repugnant battle against the American people before it becomes totally irrelevant.
No we don't want to take your guns away. We want you to be responsible for the fucking things, and to also be accountable when you are not responsible. We want to bring some sanity back to the sale, registration, and tracking of your fucking precious gun. We want some assurances that you meet the requirements of the community in order to purchase and own a gun.
Thanks for your time...
