You are all a bunch of pansies in here today. Talking about rights and gun control and viruses...all the while tiptoeing around the "real" elephant in the thread. If you all don't ha r the guts to do it, I will!

Christians can't believe the Bible doesn't get every thing right? I consider myself Christian, and I respect the Bible, but I question it as well. It's been in the hands of man for centuries, and edited and translated multiple times.Actually - no. But keep digging and you may discover why someday.
Here's a clue. Start reading, thinking and analyzing the worldview of the writers of the Bible. Their context, not the modern world in which you live. That includes the study of false gods/beliefs of pagans and such so that you can compare and see the differences.
A Christian believes what the Bible teaches in the context in which it is written. Jesus accepted and taught the Word of God as written. You cannot blend a relatively recent scientific theory that has never been substantiated to the extent it was presented by its promoter that people try to sell it as today; with the beliefs of God's chosen who wrote the contents of the Bible over several thousand years. They did not believe in the theory you want to add in, they actually state the opposite.
Equating occasional abortions based on need to the holocaust is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen.You know what would be great? Line up all the babies born into bad situations and just mow em down, that way you can just quickly and mercifully end their pathetic unwanted existence...wait I know something even quicker and easier than that..lets build gas chambers...that way you can mass produce killing on an industrial scale...I wonder why none of you merciful angels have thought of that...
I have a very personal reason for hating abortion with the burning hatred of a million suns..and nothing you can say will ever change my mind..
I have a very hard time not hating everyone that supports that evil crap.
If you're a law abiding person I'm not concerned with what type of weapon you own.So you dont mind if i keep my AR? My high capacity mags? My collaspsable stock? My muzzle device?
Why do you need to know which firearm I purchased? I mean if you're just interested in whether it's legal for me to have a firearm?
I find it hilarious that you say you don't want my guns but then you are for reasonable firearmsfor sport or home defense. Why do you get to determine what's reasonable?
LOL, from my cold dead hands.
As far as I have ever understood the second amendment it was put in place to allow the people to be as well armed as any government position. I.e. fully automatic, tanks.FYI, I am a gun owner with waaaay more guns than the average owner. I was raised within the gun culture and my father showed me how to shoot when I was only 6 with a 22. But I have no problem with background checks, bans on high capacity rounds and things like bump stocks One question I always have is about the phrasing of the 2nd Amendment. Even the current Supreme Court avoids discussing the phrase about "a well-regulated militia . . .". That seems to put a context on the right to bear. You can't ignore it. They put it in there for a purpose.
So what does it mean? You could make an argument that with the advent of the military grade assault rifle that it's even more applicable now, i.e. that ownership of those types of guns can only be within a state-authorized and operating militia such as the National Guard.
But even in the late 1700's there was a technological and qualitative difference between the guns used in a hunting context and those used in military organizations. The military guns were typically heavier, of higher caliber and had bayonet mounts. Was there a purposeful differentiation? For even Constitutional literalist you don't get to ignore that phrase.
We have background checks. I've passed many of them. You just continually spout the party line. I ask you, what mass shooting would additional background checks have stopped?If you're a law abiding person I'm not concerned with what type of weapon you own.
It's my opinion that nobody needs those things you mentioned. I've never suggested anyone should legislate based on my opinion. But it's the sensible thing to keep the criminally violent or mentally defective from owning firearms. The idea that a "can not buy" list would be any more likely to have undeserving people on it than it currently does has no merit or basis in reality. You seem to think any effort to prevent violent or mentally ill people from buying such a weapon would somehow affect you. I'm not sure why. But typical of a "gun nut" you bring nothing to the table as far as ideas to protect innocent people and children, you just spout all these straw man arguments.. like who tf said anything about alcohol?
Except WE don't. Talk about generalities. The overwhelming majority of gun-owning Americans do not tend to resolve issues with guns unless they or their loved ones are physically threatened with harm. That is a fact. Again, if what you suggested were true it would be the wild, wild west out there every day as gun-owners have issues with each other all the time (and probably in most cases don't even realize the other is carrying) and never consider pulling their weapon. Sorry but saying we are a 'shoot first, ask questions later' culture is just extreme hyperbole. But as I noted earlier, there are pockets of society that likely do think that way, but for the most part those individuals more often than not are not carrying legally.
Lol I could care less about all this, was merely saying plenty of theists are scientists too. So glad you speak for all god believers. Your response just shows hot utterly narrow your view of god believers is.Actually - no. But keep digging and you may discover why someday.

It's not a party platform. It's a sentiment that really only a segment of right-wing Americans actively oppose. Weirdly, conservative factions essentially all over the globe tend to agree that violent and crazy people shouldn't have guns. An idea that you refuse to acknowledge.We have background checks. I've passed many of them. You just continually spout the party line. I ask you, what mass shooting would additional background checks have stopped?
Begging the question fallacy.There is no justification for killing 600,000+ babies a year no matter the life they are born into. Murder is against the law. Many are quick to push women's health as an excuse to free them from responsibility. In reality, responsibility lies with the two idiots who created it. They should not get a pass for their lack abstinence or at the very least their lack of protection. Remove their get a jail free card and we would likely see a large decline in the murderous practice.
What a load of bull ****. Most gun owners don't want criminals or the mentally ill having weapons. Since were categorizing, I think your side, the left wing communist like yourself are the sole reason for this. Your ,liberal policies of the last decade is responsible for all the shootings.It's not a party platform. It's a sentiment that really only a segment of right-wing Americans actively oppose.

No matter how many times you say vague things like "we have background checks", it's false. Private sales aren't governed by them. And you're slipping into my favorite fallacy: "Gun control doesn't prevent shootings, so why try?" Even if I went thru a case-by-case evaluation of U.S. mass shootings, first of all it would take effing forever. Secondly, it has no bearing on what I'm saying. Even if no mass shootings were perpetrated by violent criminals or the mentally insane, it's still prudent to not allow them guns. No mass shootings were done by toddlers either, so why do we keep suppressing their 2nd amendment rights? But just to play along, there was a shooting in TX by a guy who'd been DD'd from the Air Force and had an extensive troubled mental history. Whether the BG check was done and wasn't thorough or wasn't done, again it's not that relevant.
You think your position is some heroic stand against potential tyranny- it isn't. It's corporate sponsored fear mongering suspension of common sense. And while you and every other big gun activist are soiling your panties over it, your fearless leaders are screwing you six different ways from Sunday. I'd love to see you take that passion and apply it toward a worthwhile endeavor.
Are you effing crazy?! Lynda played against a much tougher pageant crowd than Gal ever did! There is no debate about the competition or competitiveness of the times they played their craft. Try, just even try to compare Gal's supporting actors/actresses to Lynda's. You can't. /threadGOAT and it isn't debatable![]()
