  1. You need to look at the history and reasoning for each amendment.

  2. Ignar 1. No there isn't. 2. An "assault weapon" can be, by definition, anything to attack someone including a baseball bat or a screwdriver. 3. Yes it has, look at FBI stats. Gun homicide rates are dropping. 4. UK has less murders all around. That is an issue of culture. The US has 5 times the murder rate than the UK. If you remove only gun murders from the US the US still has a a murder rate that is 2 times higher than the UK. At that point you have to admit that it an issue of culture, not guns. 5. John Lott did a study showing other nations have more mass shootings than the US. The issue is that many people will consider a gang shooting to a random shooting like in Parkland as the same when they aren't. So when you factor those variables in other developed nations, like Norway, have more mass shootings.

  4. Patrick is a difference between banning the action and banning the object. You don't ban alcohol, you just ban the consumption of it until you are 21. So no, you can't make an argument like that for every law.

  5. Background checks exist and psych evaluations are highly flawed as there is no quantitative way to measure psychological issues.

  6. There are background checks already.

  7. Matthew, the "gun nuts" freak out because where is your stopping point? We have a lot of laws on the books already. At what point do you stop creating laws? There comes a point that you have to find other methods to solve this issue because eventually, if your side had your way, you will have a gun ban.

  8. Mental health is challenging because it is subjective with no real quantitative way to test for it. Also, if you want to help with mental health than give more responsibilities to the states. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 did more harm than good to mental health.

  9.  @adamhauson1211 , it is an SSRI. Also, "psychotic asshole" is not really a scientific term. I am not saying it is the cure all. One should always be aware of issues coming up. That is why I still see a psychologist. Sorry, but I will trust my psychiatrist over some random youtube commentor. FYI, I study science myself so I have read up on this issue a lot.

  10. Space Wizard 1. It is illegal for felons to own guns. 2. It is already illegal for people charged with misdemeanor domestic violence for them to own a gun 3. It is illegal for them to own a gun as well 4. Guess what? It is illegal for them to own a gun a swell What is your point? It is illegal for those people to own a gun already. As I said, these laws already exist.

  11. In 1963 the federal government passed the Community Mental Health Act to help improve mental health. What end up happening was that it made the issue worse. Pushing for expansion of Medicaid will arguably be doubling down on that idea.

  12. Adam, drugs do have a role in mental health care. I take an anti depressant and I have no desire to shoot anyone. Not saying it is a cure all. Mental health is as challenging as it gets, but you can't make a blanket solution.

  13. jojo, it is about the whole "anchor baby" issue. A part of the 14th amendment is there because it would allow slaves who gave birth to a child on US grounds that they become natural born citizens. Now it is being abused to where an immigrant will come here, give birth and now that child is a US citizen even if the parents aren't. So it is more or less if that part of the amendment should still exist? The 2nd amendment was there to prevent tyranny and give people the ability to protect themselves without help of the government. That is the history there. So when you look at the history of those amendments you have to ask yourself if one is valid today.

  14. Justanother Shitlord, and Kyle wonders why no one wants to debate him. He is a nobody and acts like a child. During politicon he sat there making faces and just repeated talking points. You are correct, leftists' thoughts don't have high standards at this point.

  15. You can't do a quantitative test on mentally ill people as it is subjective. Even mentally ill people are not a threat. So there is no one solution to this.

  16. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 was the federal government trying to help with mental health. It made the issue worse. Universal healthcare would just be doubling down on that law from 55 years ago.

  17. Reemo Hooper, The Community Mental Health Act was supposed to do just that but didn't.

  18. jojo, that law failed to open all the facilities they promised. It ended up costing more than projected to where only half of the expected mental health facilities were opened and none of them were fully funded where many people were released too early. Also, the states took care of mental health at the time but when that law passed they saw it as an opportunity to stop funding for mental health and let the federal government take care of it.

  19. jojo, mental health is very challenging. Take it from me as I have a mental health condition that I take medication for. I see a psychiatrist and a psychologist. There is no quantitative way measure mental health. It isn't like diabetes where you can measure blood sugar. It is very subjective and that means many don't seek actual help. Depending on your mental intellect and how you were raised it can either become very severe or not so much and become hidden. In my opinion one reason why suicide rates are so high for those with higher income is that people with higher income were raised in a family that is supportive and their intellect is so high that their baseline if high. Thus they may not seek treatment until it is too late and commit suicide. I was almost there but saw treatment. Now with that said, how much of a threat they are is subjective. I own four guns and I had a long conversation with both of my doctors on that issue and it was determined by both that I am OK with owning the guns, especially now that I am on a medication and nothing severe has come up. So even though I have, on record, a mental health condition I am safe to myself and others owning a gun. So as a whole the mental health issue is not that clear. We can't just red flag everyone with a mental health issue as not all of them are dangerous and many don't even know if they have an issue to begin with.
