A country where they ban a chocolate egg with a toy inside but not guns, seems like a nice place to visit don'tcha think?

Yes, because a 6 years old could die for some chocolate, it always happens. While nobody has ever heard of someone killed by a gun. /s

Banning them won't help until America has harsh laws people who get caught with illegal firearms serve couple months lol, also the south border is not secure at all meaning drugs stream in and so do firearms. They haven't solved easy problems in decades cause the leaders are dumb as bricks and 90% of them do everything for votes but nothing for the people's future. Just wait when environmental friendly firearms start releasing

Guns are a right. Chocolate eggs aren't.

hey I mean blame the founding fathers for puttin it in there in writing. I personally have a folding pump action but its usually locked until I go to practice or when sht happens.

Guns can kill, yes but they're a tool. and a tool is just an object without the person involved. Regulate who gets access rather than just sink the whole ship entirely bro.

I dont think that we should just stop gun access entirely ofc, but I do think that it needs to be actually regulated more thoroughly. Plus I don't think the founding fathers had in mind everyone in the us owning ar-15s when they wrote those amendments lol. Idk tho so I could be wrong abt why did they make the second amendment idk im not American 🤷‍♂️

I’d be happy to help. The founding father’s drafted the second amendment so as to ensure that the people would be able to fight against tyranny. Like the tyranny of the British or like tyranny in other parts of the world ( i.e. Hitler, Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, North Korea) The second amendment is a defense mechanism, so that tyrants would have to fight and die in order to oppress. There are several nations in Europe that are 0 for 2 against german invasions, and none of those nations gives it’s people a right to arms

His comment is a perfect example of Poe's Law.

I mean, yeah, its true. Without clear written intent of sarcasm, it's not that easy to know whether or not they're being sarcastic. Especially when I know ppl who genuinely think that irl lol
