  1. theAppleWizz, at the very core on most issues the political right bases their ideas and arguments on facts and reasoning and the political left bases them on emotions. This is why the political left waits until a mass shooting and uses children to push for new gun laws. They have to use emotions because the facts don't support them. Not saying one side is better over the other. Facts are important, but we are human and have emotions. But at the very core that is what it is.

  2. gamer7916, what new laws would have stopped these shootings? Also, where is your stopping point on these laws? We have plenty of laws on the books. There comes a time we have to accept the facts that 1. Accept the fact that nothing is ideal and violence always happens 2. we should find other ways to lower crime all together Also, the NRA and many gun right supporters have supported a new law. That is allowing teachers to be armed with certain restrictions. That is not a bad idea. It is arguable that a gun in the area is enough of a deterrent to stop shootings from happening. Also, many schools already have armed teachers with no issues.

  3. "Well regulated militia", yes, I agree. Not "well regulated guns". Also, it says "the right of the people" just like in other amendments. I can read as well.

  5. Absolute, the Chicago argument is that criminals know that law abiding citizens lack guns there so it is an easy target. Now there is more than that to the issue, but that is a part of it.

  6. Absolute, define an "assault weapon". Next, the VA Tech shooter used hand guns and killed around 30 people. An "assault weapons" ban will not work.

  7. You ban the AR 15 they can use the Mini Ruger 14. For all intents and purposes it is the same gun.

  8. There are arguments on both sides on this issue to save lives. Problem is that Hogg feels if you disagree with him you don't support saving lives. I disagree with Hogg on this issue but I want to save lives. What he is doing is silencing his opponent as opposed to having an actual discussion with them. He is being a bully and to be honest anyone who wants any type of new gun law being passed should stop giving this guy air time. He is pushing people away from new gun laws as many literally see him as a little Hitler.

  9. G C, his approach is turning a lot of people off which is why people attack him. You don't see constant attacks on Emma Gonzalez because she doesn't have their angry attitude where she can't be touched. Hogg is causing more harm than good. I am looking at joining the NRA because of him.
