The Political Thread

[Grimoire Lenin]

Semi-automatic rifles* You understand what I mean.

What do you need with a semi-automatic rifle, Smark? When a shotgun, hunting rifle, and handgun are just as sufficient?

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

There is no legislation out there to ban all guns, only select weapons that are invariably the most popular with mass shooters atm;.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Rifles are guns. If you want to ban rifles, you want to ban guns.

I honestly feel sorry for you that youre this far gone

Shotgun is better for home protection.

Semi-automatic rifles would result in more collateral damage.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

It's not about trampling on people's rights, it's about protecting people's 1st Amendment rights most of all, the supreme law of the land. People's right to Life is inherently more supreme to someone's rights to have semi-automatic weapons. It's why the 2nd Amendment is Second to the First Amendment.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Banning rifles, when it’s the favorite amongst many groups for self defense isn’t a compromise.

That Uvalde shooting wouldn’t be any different if he walked in there with two handguns and four clips.

I don’t why people think rifles are why a man can kill 14 kids when the police wouldn’t go inside.

If handguns can do the same why do they need the rifles for self defense then?

Jesus Christ, just stfu and sit this one out.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

There is nothing about banning guns for self-defense. Again, shotguns and handguns are just as effective if not more in in-home self-defense compared to a long-barreled rifle.

 

[Comrade Khan]

you are literally saying you will vote against anyone no matter what all their other policies are if they are agianst automatic rifles. if thats is the most important thing in your life when it comes to voting, I think you have some serious soul searching to do. hate me all you want and think im a fucking pompous asshole. but seriously, you need to reflect , get off facebook, stop watching fox news and detox your brain and actually think about what your priorities are. because if its bullets, you fucking suck.

It's not all I want to do but I see that it's on the democrats to compromise bc Republicans won't budge at all clearly if Beto is deemed to extreme

Is that your only policy you care about? Not any of the ones that sparked this whole conversation? Why is the gun issue now overtaking all that original stuff?

Republicans would likely bend to a lot of other policies, but they’re not willing to compromise on a right in the bill of rights.

Like I said before, the left has issues they wouldn’t compromise, either. I also don’t see why you think banning is the compromise. There’s a lot of gun control type policy that currently isn’t law that could be met across the aisle and achieve compromise. If you’re only idea of comprise is a gun ban, it’s limited.

Republicans would likely come around on removing that nasty lgbt stuff if you gave them better compromise on the gun issue? Is that not worth it?

I wonder how extremely homophobic or outright racist a GOP candidate would have to actually be in 2022 to get someone to vote for a democrat wanting to ban AR-15s tbh since it's such a deal breaker

 

[Comrade Khan]

why are Americans so afraid that they need protection at all times? no one is after you

hey i still never said gun ban

 

[Comrade Khan]

hey i still never said gun ban

no one did

 

[Smart Marx]

What do you need with a semi-automatic rifle, Smark? When a shotgun, hunting rifle, and handgun are just as sufficient?

Against other people that might have fully automatic weapons?

And what’s the point in banning them when a person shooting unarmed kids can still do so with any gun.
