      The question is why?

The best part is they project this fault onto their opponents claiming they are the violent, cult people…

      Is it more pathetic than leaving billions of dollars of weapons in Afghanistan for the enemy to use on its people? Then having the nerve to make more restrictive laws of your own people you are supposedly the president of?
      Is that more pathetic or no? I’m guessing you’ll say no. Which is why I can’t talk with left wing people.
      You say you’re for saving lives with these gun laws yet where are you at when terrorists have our weapons or innocent babies are being killed everyday?

    It comes down to one very simple question. Would you give up your assault weapon if it meant you could have saved 19 children...and even more from future killing sprees? If you said no, then you are complicit and have blood on your hands.

    • @jordanpine
      @jordanpine 2 роки тому +1

      I'd wager most people would, of course, say yes. But that's a hypothetical for a reason. In reality, giving up one's assault weapon won't save children from killing sprees.
      It's also easy to construct the opposite hypothetical. Would you agree to give up gun-free school zones if it meant 19 parents could have gone into that school themselves and defended their children instead of being forced to stand outside while the police did nothing and their injured children died?

      Steven Benthall, you are very simple. You are naive if you think that if somehow a law abiding citizen giving up his " assault weapon" would save other children's lives. This is nothing more than emotional manipulation and a shaming tactic to control others. You are a morally bankrupt individual to make such a claim. You use the amorphous term assault weapon, what guns are included in this category exactly?

Your giving up one assault rifle won't end the killing sprees immediately, but the fewer there are available, the less likely people are to have access to them. We know this from previous experience. How exactly would not having a gun-free zone have stopped the officers from handcuffing parents who tried to go in? I'm sorry, I can't quite follow your reasoning here.

      Yes, very effective. Remember those awful days when the drug war eliminated the 5,000 drug overdoses that were happening in the US, and the cartels were murdering people in the streets? I'm so glad that drug addiction is a distant memory, and everyone is so much safer! /sarcasm
      They can't keep drugs out of prison. More people were killed by the cartels in Mexico last year than soldiers killed so far in the Unraine invasion. Drug overdoses have increased nine-fold since 2016, to 40,000 a year.
      Meanwhile, a tax cheat from 1995 caught with a gun for self defense would face a mandatory minimum. There is no simplistic answer to violence in the US. You can't legislate hope.

My point was that we born in the boomer era knew by the time we got to high school in the late 60s and early 70s knew the storm was coming, vowed to do something about, and either failed miserably or just didn't care. And the generation that followed us were caught up in the Wall Street "get rich no matter who you crush or destroy along the way" Following that i believe we gave subsequent age groups younger than us no sense of direction. Now when i drive around town or watch people, everyone is glued to thier phones. At 65 i find myself absorbed at times into frivelous wastes of time on my phone. I still hold out hope that those who are now 15 to 30 years old come together and take over the dirty, nasty discourse we have burdened them with and truely bring this expieriment in democracy closer to an inclusive and compassionate society.

    If the GOP is all about fiscal conservancy, how do they justify the $280 billion dollars spent EVERY SINGLE YEAR on gun violence? That is a tax on us to the tune of $856.27 on every man, woman, and child in the US (~327e6 people). For a family of four that means a tax of $3425 to pay for gun violence every single year! How many other places that money could go.

    • @jordanpine
      @jordanpine 2 роки тому

      I'm not sure about your numbers, but I get your point. There are two answers to this question. The first is the obvious fact that neither Republicans nor Democrats are really "about fiscal conservancy." Both parties spend like mad -- just on different things. Sometimes, they even spend like mad on the same things (e.g. a proxy war in Ukraine).
      The second is that we live in a time when the government believes it can print money and incur debt forever without consequences. When you see all of your peers engaging in fiscal irresponsibility -- and getting re-elected because the people love the handouts and/or the causes -- you can either get on board or lose your seat. Fiscal responsibility is a losing political issue. No one likes the austerity police.

      There needs to be federal enforcement of laws regulating guns. No one is suggesting to leave law-abiding citizens without the right and possibility to get a gun. In fact, republicans could get ahead in this topic if they suggested support for regulations on semi and automatic assault rifles if law abiding citizens who complied with training, gun ID tracing and licensing requirements could be allowed CCPs (concealed carry permits). Instead they argue like you do, ignoring their possible constituency in States like Illinois, California and NY, where is so hard to get a gun that bringing them in from other States is quite a lucrative (criminal) business. And for what? So 18 yr olds can keep buying as many assault rifles as they want? How does that make any sense? How many good, moral, sober, prudent self defenders carry assault rifles to defend themselves?

    I am pro quality of life, and any life that can be its best is a life that deserves the chance to have it. I also believe it should be no person's right to make that choice for another. It should absolutely be each person's right to decide when or if they will bring a life into this world. No one else. To compare that to the willful intent to take lives is exponentially different. We would all live much happier lives making less choices about what's right for other people's lives, and more choices that support them. Maybe that would be a better plan.

    What people forget is each representative does not represent everyone. They represent their constituents. Because you feel one way doesn’t mean someone somewhere else feels the same way. Only your representative represents you and everyone in your area. Representatives from Texas for example have to bend to the will of their constituents the same way New York reps bend to theirs.

      @@kaytee5031 Have to look at the US senate and the way it's constructed. Presently, Democratic senators represent at least 20,314,962 more people than their Republican colleagues. For example, California and Wyoming both have 2 senators. But California has 68 times more people. And then of course, there's Mitch McConnell, who wantonly blocks almost all Democrat bills.

      But it’s disingenuous for the original commentor to say that it’s just different state representatives bending to their states constituencies will. When that is simply not true.
