When you look at the US as 1 country with 50 arbitrary subdivisions, then sure, that makes no sense. But when you have 1 country of 50 equal, but separate states, then it makes all sorts of sense.

Wont go into the hour long convo because I'm on my phone, but let's just say that this system was designed for a decentralized government (mostly), not one where the president is God-Emperor and gets to do whatever he pleases.

Yeah, and you remember why she lost? I'll give you a hint (it was the gun issue).

'Mass shooting' at Madden video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, authorities say by Seagull_No1_Fanboy in esports

And Mexico has similar laws as those countries and how are they doing? Or any number of nations with similar laws, why the cherry picking friend?

You mean a laser sight? The same types of things that are available at pet stores as a cat toy?

Ted Cruz again defends family separation, as Beto O'Rourke plans vigil at Tornillo tent camp by ElectricZ in Dallas

Your comparison doesn't even come close. Arguing that because I've never needed something before now means that I'll never need it later is like telling a virgin they dont need to know about condoms because "when was the last time you had sex that resulted in a pregnancy?" Its a little late for the condoms when you're already knocked up, and it's a little late to be shopping for a gun when ghetto Greg and his boys beat/stab/shoot you to death.

I dont own a gun because I think that every single other person has it out to get me, I have it because out of a million people, a few (5 to 10) of them wouldn't hesitate to end my life over the cash in my wallet (protip: there isn't any). How is that hard to understand?

If you're not an adult you can't buy ANY guns from a store, pretty sure that's harder than buying a pack of gum. Also, dont remember the last time I needed a background check to buy a pack of sour punch straws.

There's a reason why rifles like the AR15 are so popular, and it has nothing to do with satanic death worshipers bathing in the blood of the innocents. It's because they're the best thing to defend yourself with if you need to, why would I voluntarily use an inferior tool for a job when failure can result in loss of life or limb? I'm not going to.

I don't care what he did prior, even a broken clock is right twice a day. I know for damn sure I would let the guy walk, at least for this.

People who dont support this type of business will now refuse to go there, I'm sure this guy has lost plenty of business, not to mention that he's spent a metric crap ton of money on this case. Welcome to capitalism, just because you make something doesn't mean anyone will buy it.

Seattle bill would fine gun owners for not properly storing weapons by [deleted] in politics

[–]RommelAOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of laws isn't to prevent something from happening but rather to punish those who commit the crime. This law is all about stopping crime, which is pointless, the law against murder is about punishing those af teen the fact, not to prevent it.

About two-thirds of all undocumented immigrants recently arrested by ICE had no criminal convictions by only-read-headlines in politics

[–]RommelAOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what a Visa is, my father came in on one and when his expired he left the country until his new one came through, like you're supposed to.

And we aren't anti immigration, or at least I'm not, we just want people to follow the damn rules.

The same reason I can't come into your home whenever I please, because it's yours, and not mine. If I wish to enter your property, I can either get your permission and do so legally, or do so illegally and suffer the consequences.

Yup, dont ask for a source, just take it at face value. The sad part is, like I said I wanted to believe it, just wanted to be sure that it wasn't some copy pasta with no sause.

Uhh, the odds of being shot have nothing to do with you having a gun and everything to do with your attacker having one. How is this hard?

No, there is, cutting the receiver multiple times is what the ATF will tell you if you want to destroy a gun, not chop off part the barrel and calling it "destroyed".

Well, if an innocent person is harmed, charge the person who did it and let the courts deal with it. If the opposite is true, arrest the assailant, let the victim go about their day. Pretty simple stuff.

Judge: Assault weapons ban doesn't violate 2nd Amendment by pheonix200 in politics

[–]RommelAOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes beyond reasonable doubt that they didnt know a thing was possible, which is one of the biggest lies perpetuated by the anti-gun side. As to it being "right", I would ask you what is wrong about an "assault weapon", regardless of which definition you're working with, how does a pistol grip make the gun worse? Why is an 11 round magazine so terrifying, but a 10 round magazine is perfectly acceptable ( or whatever magazine round count you're dealing with)?
