    I’m with you on everything but the whole guns thing…they most definitely are always try to take firearms. You’re naive if you think otherwise.

        Seriously, these fucking people. Very few democrats that people take seriously are advocating for taking away guns like Trump did. Gun control? Absofuckinglutely, but if you don’t believe in gun control you shouldn’t believe in drivers licenses or criminal background checks or any other kind of government regulations, either. Like moronic libertarians.

          I can buy a car without background checks, I can buy any car I want at any age without a license, I can transport it anywhere in the country, and can drive it on private property without insurance or a license.

          Can’t do that shit with firearms, so please stop with your ignorance about gun control.

            Yes, also cars are a problem too, thank you for pointing this out. There are way too many cars, it’s unsustainable. Not even talking about the earth right now, motorways with fucking 8 lanes and there’s still traffic.

            Also: cars don’t fit in your pocket and can mow down everyone in a small room without warning. Usually manslaughter requires a lot more noise and at least some kind of runway to build up speed.

            Please stop with your ignorance about gun control.

                  You know all that tyranny you hate from the right wing dick heads in this country? That’s why. And yes all forms of things have been used to kill humans throughout history, get over it. You hate the police but want to give them control of force, your naive children. You also don’t give two shits when it’s black on black crime in inner cities with handguns and drug/gang violence… you’re only worried when you see something like this on the news. Stop acting like you give a shit.

            Guns and cars are two totally different things.

            They are so different that any comparison between the two is moot.

      They’ve been coming for your guns for decades. And are not even one step closer.

      So either you’re wrong, or the people coming for them are so absurdly incompetent that you have nothing to fear. And I’m saying that as someone that absolutely supports them coming for your guns.

      they most definitely are always try to take firearms.

      Republican president Donald Trump passed the most comprehensive federal gun control law in decades, and he did so through executive order without Congress passing any laws.

        And Obama eased restrictions on guns in National Parks, but those are just facts not feelings.

            There’s the paradox of American politics. You can vote for people who are probably fucking you over somehow, or someone who can’t ever win.

      I’ve lost a handful of rights over the last couple years, and none of them have anything to do with owning guns. Maybe you’re worried about the wrong things.

      We’re going to take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times by the time you go to court … it takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early…

      -Donald Trump, 2018.

        That…doesn’t contradict what he said, at all. All it shows is that Trump counts among the “they” in question. And I don’t think anyone has ever claimed Trump was strong on 2A stuff. TBF, Trumps not strong on anything other than finding ways to bill the federal government for his secret service detail projecting him.

        It’s really generally a bad idea to assume all of someone’s positions based on one of their positions. Real people don’t work that way.

      Right, so the hilarious way conservatives fucked themselves and each other by stockpiling ammo and paying 5x the regular price for it because of OBAMA was a really smart move.
