Yes, Fart is a legend.

If we had the same gun laws as "the rest of the world", we would have the same number of shootings?

I doubt it.

We would have fewer mass shootings. That is the point

I wouldn't argue otherwise, but I wouldn't say that different nations and cultures are interchangeable with each other and that we're just a gun law away from being domesticated cattle like western Europe either.

lol you can't. i'm sure it empowers you to use the word 'doofuses' like some kinda braindead jock, though.

who in the actual fuck thinks US citizens are going to win a war against the US armed forces? the morons who stormed the capitol? backwoods idiots who have never used their weapons in self defense? the couple who came out of their house to wave their weapons at BLM protesters? we are far too dumb, and even with military grade weapons, don't have the resources to fight off the gov't . if fighting off the gov't is the reason assault rifles are legal, then this should change ASAP, b/c the only thing people are using them for is killing each other, not a tyrannical gov't.

Our military would not comply with orders to attack citizens on home soil. They'd have to use drones or something. Your average soldier is too maga

How many of the MAGAs were tossed out for not getting the jab?

'Winning' a civil war wouldn't be much of a consolation prize if the cities are starving and the suburbs look like Syria.

We should also remember that the US government has nukes. No way we could beat those.

If they had to institute a draft it would be the same thing. People wouldn't comply. They'll probably just release more lab viruses on us.

Yeah but most of these guys even though never served in the military have had a lifelong subscription to Soldier of Fortune. Watch out government

Drone striking Huntsville Alabama and killing Lenny would be a PR disaster for the Biden administration!

He would be a martyr for the cause.

Have you been to Europe?

Biden could start wearing those tan t shirts that zelensky has had on. Maybe hold a U2 concert at camp David or something

What if we aimed all 400 million guns at them?

Are we just going to ignore that Afghanistan was a proxy war?

Even the revolutionary war nonsense comparison ignores the French using us to knock the british.

What the F are all y'all talking about?

Fewer guns. Not none, Mac.
Harder to get guns, but not never, ever can haz.
Reasonable steps to track down the origin of a gun that still will end up being used for horrible purposes.
Hobby people can print away, but will have increased liability if something they make gets used in a bad way.

Let's try this.

In the mean time, prayers and thoughts and amendments can carry on uninterrupted.

That perverse logic that says unless a measure is 100% effective in all possible scenarios then it’s pointless is so disingenuous. How can anyone say that kind of garbage and maintain any self-respect?

All I'm saying is that violent overthrow of the US government is still very possible. You just have to believe.

Gun control is definitely a more practical idea than covid control

Take it to the protest thread, Burt.
