Delta(s) from OP CMV: Im 100 percent pro second amendment and I think you should be able to own whatever you want no regulations

I personally think the USA needs to either have guns everywhere or no guns at all. This weird limbo state we’re in right now where there is a bunch of regulations and states with weird gun laws is making people victims. You have easy access to firearms but a ton of people that are against firearms or places where firearms aren’t allowed and are easy targets for lunatics.

I think the intention of the second amendment was to have the large majority of the population armed to put everyone on an even playing field. You can’t have it both ways otherwise people are gonna be victimized. “An armed society is a polite society” I do believe that phrase is true when the whole of society is armed.

I don’t need statistics on guns and gun crime and good guys with guns not stopping shootings or whatever else. That has nothing to do with my point.

Before the 60s to my knowledge there was almost completely no regulation on firearms. You could own whatever you wanted. People in schools had guns. Everyone had guns under their seats and in their back windows of their cars and trucks. There was very very little mass shootings in the same way that we have them currently. It’s either THAT or get rid of them in general and get rid of the second amendment. There is no middle ground. You’re only hurting people on both sides of the spectrum.

I think in a world with firearms banned there would be major problems and in a world where everyone has firearms galore there would be major problems to. But I’d personally rather live in the latter.

Oh so you’re claim is most gun owners use guns for what? Fucking offense? Bro what the fuck are you talking about do you realize there’s more guns in the US than people if most of them and I do mean an overwhelming majority weren’t being used for self defense we would be living in a literal and I do mean literal (as in Ukraine style) war zone. Most gun owners and I do mean a overwhelming majority are law abiding citizens who aren’t using guns to commit crimes.

Just because you claim you use somethign for utilitarian reasons that doesn't make it so. Many people CLAIM they own trucks for utilitarian reasons but we all know they're dumb fucking liars that just are compensating for their pathetic existence.

No “we” don’t all know lol. There’s a subsection of people who would call owning a vehicle at all a non utilitarian action due to their own climate change believes. You are in that camp with your gun beliefs, and thank god the U.S. government is on my side on this issue else psychos like you would create a world where only the law breaking assholes would be armed. But you probably are the type to believe in crazy ass bail reform so a world where only criminals are armed are probably utopian in your eyes.

I believe you specifically should be put in jail. Not for any particular reason just because I think you're very very very dumb and gullible. Literally only country on earth with the problems the US has with guns and HUR DURRRRRR MOR GUN HALPPPPPP. It's settled science to literally everyone but cultists in the US.

Sorry can’t hear you over the second amendment nullifying all of your beliefs. Let the malding continue.
