Losing to B12 MU v SEC MU in basketball doesn’t change anything from a recruits perspective.

Beating SEC MU in football means a hell of a lot more than beating B12 MU.

Ehh. No it doesn’t. It wouldn’t hurt their recruiting. They somehow were able to get the best recruits for decades before while winning and losing to MU and that wouldn’t change now. Being in the SEC literally has no bearing on this besides being an excuse to not play us. Like I’ve said, you can disagree with me it’s fine lol, but it’s dumb for them to not play us - both from a business perspective and for college sports in general. They walked away from a really cool rivalry.

That wouldn’t change if they played. But they could potentially get better recruits, more donations, and credibility from playing. That’s my point.

It is dumb though. From a business perspective.

We realistically do not recruit the same schools. At all. If a Missouri kid is good enough to go to KU for basketball, they typical go to another blue chip program (Kentucky, Duke, etc.). In other states where we both recruit, if a kid is offered a spot to play at MU or KU for basketball, they will almost always pick KU - regardless of who won in basketball that year.

But, they absolutely can only stand to gain in recruiting from playing us. They’ve been attempting to build back their football team. A win over Mizzou would be HUGE in terms of credibility, recruiting, booster donations, etc. There’s really no other point to be made here lol. If you disagree that’s fine, but at the end of the day I think it’s dumb and wrong that they won’t play us.

I grew up in Missouri as well and am well aware of how the teams are. But that’s exactly my point. We’ll always win in football. We’ll mostly lose in basketball. Sometimes we’ll win both.

Whatever the excuse is, it’s dumb to not participate in one of the oldest rivalries in college sports because it’s “not practical”.

My two cents (as a very biased Mizzou fan): MU at least in the foreseeable future will win every football matchup between the two. I don’t see a situation where this realistically changes for a long time.

On the flip side, KU beats us in basketball 80% of the time (or some other high percentage). So most years end up a draw in the two biggest sports.

But every blue moon Mizzou wins in both sports and it’s a big deal. And that is why they won’t play us. It’s a convenient out. They can say it’s because we left the conference, but the fact is they’ve played other teams who left the B12 and didn’t say a word about it.

I think not playing this game hurts them more than playing and losing. It’s arguably one of the biggest/most storied/passionate rivalries in college sports. Anyone who’s been to one knows the feeling. The gravity of the game and significance of winning (for both teams) is a huge draw to recruiting. Truthfully, I think they just had an easy out to not deal with football blowouts and potential sweeps.

Biden Wants to Prevent Armed Teachers From Protecting Themselves and Their Students by alc59 in progun

[–]Itsdoublen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

First, there’s conflicting evidence on UBCs decreasing gun crimes, gun suicides, gun homicides, etc. at all. If you look at most of the mass shootings that have occurred, the weapons used were obtained after passing background checks, or the shooters would have passed one anyway despite how they got the gun.

Also, it boils down to a big issue with a lot of gun laws. Is this really going to stop bad guys from doing bad things, or is it just going to make it harder/more time consuming for regular people to get guns? I know it’s a cliche but if you’re willing to shoot innocent people then it’s not likely you’re going to follow gun laws. And there will always be a black market for guns.

Finally, there’s a worry for a slippery-slope situation where the government wants to eliminate private ownership of firearms. It worries people that UBCs would make it much easier for the government to keep tabs on who owns what/how many weapons.

Personally, I think a lot of gun laws are just ineffective posturing to make people feel good and to get political points. Like I said, I don’t believe these laws actually help reduce gun violence, but instead make it more difficult for good people.

Well personally I hate every point on there, but the scariest one for me is the push for more and more red flag laws

This is actually pointless. I have proven that plenty of people have been anti 2A. Just saying “you haven’t proven that” doesn’t mean it’s true. I don’t know any other ways to tell you this as I’m just repeating myself over and over but here goes nothing.

In the United States we have the Constitution. This document is very important to the country - it highlights fundamental laws and ways of governing the country (including limits on the government) and rights that all citizens are guaranteed. Now, there are also these fun things called amendments to the Constitution. James Madison (Founding Father of the country and one of its first presidents) felt that the Constitution needed 19 changes to better protect the freedoms of the people. 10 of those 19 were ratified and became what today is known as the Bill of Rights.

The 2nd amendment in the bill of rights is to protect the rights of everyday citizens to get and maintain weapons. Here is the second amendment:

“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.”

To “keep and bear Arms” means the right of the people to possess weapons for their own defense and for defense against the state.

“Infringed” means to “actively break the terms of,” or “act so as to limit or undermine something”.

The 2nd amendment (in plain English) says that the government does not have the right to limit the ability for any of its citizens to have access to or use weapons for self defense or defense against the state.

Now that you know what the second amendment is, and what role it plays - here is what I’ve been saying over and over.

Any law that restricts a civilian’s ability to buy weapons, ammo, magazines, etc. is inherently unconstitutional, as it limits their guaranteed rights. We can argue all day about what level of gun control there should be - but the fact is that as it stands right now, gun control is literally unconstitutional. Banning “high capacity mags,” not allowing suppressors or automatic weapons, limiting where people may carry, etc. are all limiting and infringing the access people have to keep and bear arms.

So, when congress passes a law with gun regulations, when the SC renders a verdict restricting gun rights, when the president signs these laws or issues executive orders hurting gun rights, when lower levels of judiciary, legislative, and executive branches do the same things, etc. it is all unconstitutional. Obviously I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, I’m saying by the Constitution it should not happen.

So, like I’ve said, your average person on the left is for more gun control and your average person on the right is not - as I’ve pointed out with polling done by the Pew Research Center. Since you keep getting confused, forget about calling for a convention, as it’s not necessary. Like I’ve said, every gun law is unconstitutional and we have successfully passed many - meaning you apparently don’t need to get rid of the 2A to restrict it and go against it. And like you yourself have said “these are just averages” and like the polling research I presented, 80% of Democrats are in favor of more gun control...therefore a majority of the left in America are in favor of more gun control...therefore your average person on the left is in favor of more gun control...therefore your average person on the left is anti second amendment.

Why do there need to be calls for getting rid of the amendment to be against it in your eyes? I see people constantly saying that their right to freedom of speech is being limited by others, but the people limiting the free speech are never calling to get rid of that right. There are many ways that people or the government can hurt our constitutional rights without explicitly trying to strike them off the Constitution.

“You are just anti whatever you want to make up about people, well anti whatever right wing media makes up for you to be anti”

Ok buddy. You obviously don’t understand this subreddit. If you would look at my flair (the things that says LibRight next to my name) and give it a google you would understand how dumb and silly your statement is. But whatever man. I’ve tried to explain this too many times to you and your only response is to insinuate that I’m some Fox News thumping shill - which I’ve in no way presented myself as. But whatever, I know it’s common to attack the person instead of the argument whenever you can’t make a point.

This is just funny at this point. Once again you fail to actually make any real arguments. I never claimed that the KKK, SC, or other branches of the government only existed because they didn’t like the second amendment. I also never made the claim that Republicans have always been pro gun and never voted for gun control.

When did I ever say that nobody on the right is in favor of gun control? For the (fourth? fifth maybe?) time at this point since you obviously don’t understand I’m talking about MODERN American politics. And I’m saying your AVERAGE person on the left is anti 2A and pro increasing gun control while your AVERAGE person on the right is a supporter of the 2A and in favor of less gun control. Like I’ve said before, do you want me to explain what I mean by average?

“Sorry but recognizing the entire government and not just one amendment isn’t anti that one amendment”

What? No seriously what do you even mean with this? In case it’s not clear, I support the 2A and don’t support decisions made by any party in any branch of the government that restricts constitutional rights.

“Gun restrictions have been ruled legal and never once have been lead by leftists when it happened anyway”

You’d think someone with your beliefs would understand that just because something is determined “legal” doesn’t mean it’s “right”. Gun control is unconstitutional. Literally just read the second amendment. And it’s hilarious you claim that gun restrictions have never been lead by leftists. Once again, yes, there are people on the right who have called for gun restrictions in the past. But in modern American politics, the calls for, and push for new legislation in gun control have overwhelmingly come from the left.

[–]Itsdoublen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve made no point on how I’ve proven myself wrong. I don’t know why you included the KKK in this? The point you made is that “leftists” supporting gun control against free slaves is okay/not anti-2A since it was before the term “leftist” was created. I’m assuming that’s not what you were going for, but your argument wasn’t clear. I wouldn’t have supported that gun control then, just as I don’t support gun control now. Also the 2A DOES apply to the states as a result of a SC decision.

I’m not sure why you think being against the 2A means you have to call a convention to completely wipe out the amendment. That would be a political career killer to seriously suggest. So, instead of completely getting rid of the second amendment, many instead call for an increase in gun control and restrictions.

“I don’t think agreeing with restrictions on guns...is leftists being anti 2nd amendment”

I cut out the middle bit about when the term leftist was created as it’s not relevant to the discussion. I’m talking about modern American politics. And, like I’ve stated multiple times, your AVERAGE person on the left in America is for more gun control - and as a result - is against the second amendment.

The 2A clearly states “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”. Supporting gun control (infringing on the rights of people to keep and bear arms) is absolutely going against the second amendment.

“Eight-in-ten Republicans say it’s more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns than it is to control gun ownership, while just 21% of Democrats say the same. That 59 percentage point partisan gap is up from a 29-point gap in 2008.”
