RE: DEMONETIZED: Will Gun Control Really Make a Difference?
Most of the mass shootings wont be stopped. Most of them are done with legal firearms. The smaller scale urban shootings wont be effected really either because those guns are usually illegal anyway...
Also if you are being demonetized you should link your videos through DTubes system. And there are more tags you could be using like steemleo...
Of course they would stop. Not all, but a majority would. Reducing gun availability goes a long way towards reducing mass shootings. Thats simply common sense. When you can buy a gun down the street for a few hundred dollars that makes it extremely easy to come upon a weapon.
An illegally purchased automatic weapon costs about 2000% more in Australia then in US. If you can pay that much more for a gun as a criminal you really dont need to be a criminal.
I dont really care. I dont live in the US, nor do i consider myself a liberal but the gun discussion is the stupidest shit i have heard in my life.
Get a fucking taser, a damn slingshot, your self defense potential doesnt go down one bit and everyones safer for it.
Most people are idiots and most people can buy guns in the US. Enough said.
Then explain to me why Chicago's -- which is home to some of the strictest gun laws in the US -- Southside faces mass shootings on a regular basis (the media ignores these)? Regular, law-abiding citizens, especially young African Americans in the city's Southside, have to jump through a series of hoops to get a gun, let alone carry one. As a result, they are left defenseless...meanwhile, its business-as-usual for all the gangs, which don't seem to have any issues buying illegal firearms at competitive prices.
As for your "simply common sense" remark: the vast, heavily-statistically significant majority of gun-related deaths and homicides in the US are committed with a handgun.
And in regards to "get a fucking taser, a damn slingshot" -- not sure I agree with you there, but I also think there's a cultural gap here. The USA is unique in that the right to bare arms is enshrined in our founding documents, in the Constitution. It was no accident that the Founding Fathers made this the 2nd amendment right after the 1st (free speech, free press, etc.). The 2nd Amendment was not created to ensure hunting and sport shooting, and it wasn't primarily focused on a crazy man breaking into your house. The 2nd Amendment was made to ensure that the public has the means to defend its freedom and private property were the Government to ever go usurpatious.
Now, I'm not some paranoid who thinks the US government will go usurpatious any time soon; rather, I just wanted to illustrate why the constitutional right to bare arms is no fundamental and sacrosanct in the American psyche.
I mean I get it, but the problem with a lot of people who talk like you do is that you cant think two steps ahead. Shit has consequences, if you do something it doesn't just suddenly change everything for the better. Real life doesn't work that way.
Gun free zones dont work because you can easily cross borders. Federal laws prevent that from happening as federal borders are more secure than state and county borders.
Fun that you use every right wing talking point but still claim to be a lefty tho lol

Funny how you think this is a "left vs right" discussion. Shouldn't you be handing out quests and repeating yourself over and over again? LOL
Funny how you ignore my point because you have no argument.

Was irrelevant because America has too many guns right now anyway. Also borders Mexico... Its not a good argument. Also if you follow through on the steps that would take place to enforce banning of guns it would mean massive increase in gun violence.
Also lol at the downvote HAHA, I was wondering when you would finally give in and throw the first penny punch. lol Fucking resorted to censorship piece of immoral shit! How does it feel to know you gave up any potential of having moral high ground at this point. I never once fucking downvoted your shit no matter what. Because unlike you I believe everyone should have a right to their opinions.
But now we all can see where you stand. A censorship hungry piece of shit. :)
The logic of banning guns is AMAZING to me. You would think the first thing ANTIFA needs to do is get more guns...
This is fucking cringe... You want TRUMP, a known racist Nazi (In your mind) to take away our guns.
Lol im not censoring you im lowering the money you make off of uninformed gibberish. You having a meltdown only makes me want to actually censor you just to watch you cry tho. You have no room for nuance so your arguments make no sense since its just straw man after straw man after straw man.
Cry harder.

It means you got salty as fuck and had to resort to downvotes :D
That's called jealousy. You got mad nobody cares about your opinions and decided to hit me up for a penny.
also
^ You are just mad you got nothing to counter this.

I really don't think that would do it. Criminals and crazies, the ones you need to remove the guns from, are not going to do it. Law abiding and sane people might. Criminals and crazies are both criminal and crazy. If all we had in America was law abiding and sane people then your plan would potentially work.
The Mexico boarder is a joke. Its the entire reason for the whole build a wall thing with Trump. Its especially not going to be more secure if Trump loses in 2020. Well maybe, democrats kind of have a history of being far more brutal than they make themselves out to be. Obama was a huge war hawk and was brutal to immigrants.
Does not matter if they kill a zillion infants every second. Criminals and crazies will never give up their guns. You have to do it by force.
At least I am not the kind of person who conflates right wing politics as being pro gun violence. It actually blows my mind that there are people who have become so partisan that they just think the other side is basically evil.
I want a solution, I want less gun violence. But there isn't a solution right now. One way to reduce gun violence would be to reduce the rise of communism in the country. The destruction of a generation tends to lead to the decline and blowoff phase of a civilization. You end up getting harder times.
I think we are just fucked.
Thats what makes them cheap.
I would think thats the whole point of the ban and regulation. To CHANGE the fact that the US has too many guns.
I mean people for regulation and bans say that by making those adjustments there would be less guns and less gun violence, mass shootings, what ever and your answer is basically:
Lol. And you have the gal to pound your chest and call yourself a "victor" in the convo with the girl there.
Give me a break.

You would need to do it by force. It would be a civil war easily. That's the problem. Listen to me, its never going to happen and the difference it would make if everyone did give them up would be a net negative anyway. Gun crime would be largely the same, mass shootings would be the same. Home invasions would sky rocket. other kinds of crime would increase dramatically. Its suggesting we go into civil war for no reason.
Your argument is completely illogical
No its not, its 100% solvent. Its something that can never happen anyway, and even if it did nothing would change. Performing the act would also require basically going into civil war.
And in the case of a liberal who hates Trump and believes Nazis are on the rise it makes even less sense.
The first thing the Nazis did was take away everyone's guns lol
