  1.  @ma27794  "So you support citizens to own rocket launchers" - yes.

  2.  @ma27794  because it forces you to prove your innocence. That means assumption of guilt.

  3.  @uyenst  a woman was once murdered by an ex with a restraining order while she was on her waiting period for a gun.

  4.  @laerin7931  "Licensing doesn't stop one from acquiring guns for self defense." - make the license impossible to get and it will stop people. "Having to wait 3 weeks isn't going to matter" - a woman was once murdered by a man she placed a restraining order on while waiting for the gun. It does matter.

  5. Because your leaders want to keep you in the third world. They control the guns so that they can control you.

  6.  @daburnz2  "That is Afghanistan, not the United States." - lol what? "the US government would be able to stop any resistance" - the US territory is an absolute nightmare in a COIN scenario... if you think Afghanistan is bad you should look at a map of the US. "the US police and military is too advanced for a group of citizens to put up a fight" - you mean the same US police that is too cowardly to deal with dogs and mentally ill? "They would be destroyed very quickly and would have no impact against the police." - bro remember when Chris Dorner, a SINGLE MAN, completely humiliated the LAPD during the manhunt? A police department can't even handle one determined individual swiftly, and you think they can handle a million angry residents?

  7.  @calligansaccount  "The US spends more on the military than the next 8 countries COMBINED" - which means that as soon as the US becomes involved in a war and stops being the economic powerhouse, soldiers will stop getting paid really quick. That's like bragging your car has worse gas mileage, it can't last a LeMans. Or like a huge bodybuilder with no cardio who gets tired after two punches.

  8. @Green Oscar it warms my heart whenever the anti-gun people expose themselves as bloodthirsty bootlickers who wish for the US govt to nuke its own people.

  9. "Americans know that the constitution can be amended right?" - yeah but mentioning that it can be amended doesn't mean you can act like it already has been. Can it be amended? Sure. Amend it. If it's so easy do it right now.

  10.  @Mr.O-Town  "I don’t understand why Americans have a problem with having to take a course and wait 3 weeks to be able to own a firearm." - Because then "Oops, too many people, you're gonna have to wait 5 weeks" and then it becomes 9 weeks, then 15 weeks, then 30 weeks. Deny people their gun rights without needing to write a law banning them. - Who creates the course? Who makes sure it's not impossible to pass? Who pays for the course? What about those who live too far away from training facilities and can't miss days off work?

  11.  @susannehartl3067  "It will not voilate one section of the constitution, as it will not take away your right to own a weapon." - then why are poll taxes considered to infringe on someone's right to vote? Please try to learn about constitutional law before making statements about what violates or doesn't violate the constitution.

  12. This, but unironically.

  13. Well, police officers already murder us every day so it seems to me that they're the first group that should be looked into. Also, I heard that about 40% of them are domestic abusers?

  14. Actually, it would. Requiring a license to vote is against the US constitution. You can't license a right.

  15. It doesn't even make sense, much less to a libertarian.

  16.  @jfridy  because he met a private seller. Private sellers exist everywhere, not just at gun shows. If you go to a gun show and approach the counter of a gun store, they're still an extension of their FFL and they would be violating federal law if they didn't do a background check. However, private sales are an intrastate matter and the state decides the rules. There's no "gun show loophole" because you can conduct a private sale at a Waffle House parking lot, no gun show needed. If anything, gun shows have police presence so it's the worst place to conduct an illegal transaction.

  17.  @unassumingaccount395  "many gun shows still don't do background checks." - any gun store represented at the gun show is still forced to abide by FFL rules and this must perform background checks. The only people who don't need to perform background checks are private sellers who only need to follow state laws on private sales. There's no "protective shield" against the law at a gun show.

  18.    what evidence do you have on the contrary?
    1
  19.  @unassumingaccount395  "And many major gun shows are privately run and therefore are under special exemptions from background checks" - dude by that logic the business that owns a gun store is privately run and thus are under special exemptions from background checks. All gun stores are exempt from background checks, then. That doesn't make any sense. "states don't have strict laws on private gun selling." - and it's the state's right to set their private sales law how they want. Many states prohibit private sales and force everyone to go through a FFL. It should be up to the state how to deal with intrastate matters. The federal government only gets involved when the gun crosses state lines.

  20.  @unassumingaccount395  at this point you're purposefully misunderstanding everything. All background checks are done through the federal records. As an anarchist you support the Swiss model where they outline several nationalities of immigrants who cannot own guns? Oof.

  21. Then make guns out of the scrap.

  22. Anyone who doesn't support a racist, classist measure to prevent the underpriviledged from owning guns.

  23.  @gregorybrew427  after slaves were freed the first gun control laws were passed to prevent free black men from owning guns. A licensing system requires one to pay fees, pass tests, take days off work, etc. This means guns in the hands of the rich people, and not in the hands of the working people.

  24. No.

  25. "Nothing about this system prevents law-abiding citizens from obtaining a gun" - Psychologists could be encouraged to make people fail evaluations. - The course can be made impossible to pass - The locker requirements can be made unreasonable by demanding safes too large to fit a house, too heavy for the majority of homes to be built to handle them, etc and the police being able to randomly enter your house without a warrant is a violation of your rights so yes that part does prevent people from obtaining a gun because it demands from them to give up a basic natural right.

  26.  @dominicgunderson  "your average person isn't going underground" - average people went "underground" - aka any street corner - to buy weed.

  27. You're not for the protection of the 2A, then. You're asking for the 20th step in the ladder that leads to banning guns.

  28. So if you own a junkyard should you be required to have a driver's license even though you're not gonna drive the cars anywhere?

  31. - No license to own. - I can make "illegal" modifications as long as I don't take it out in public. - I can buy without background checks. - I can sell to other people even across state lines.

  32. @System.out.println you don't need a license to own a car

  33.  @TheSolarWolf  the law is the state's justification for force (those presumed innocent are not supposed to be kidnapped by men with badges or have their property stolen - probable cause and warrants are what turn those actions into arrests and searches/seizures). Murder, theft, fraud, etc things that harm other people need to be enforced because people who commit those things consented to the state's use of force. A law against a "crime" which is completely victimless is no law at all, for the "guilty" are in fact innocent and it is not justifiable for the state to use its force against the people.

  34. @System.out.println that's ridiculous. Laws exist to punish those who break them. Even if we can't find every murderer, those we do find deserve punishment. Owning a gun and not hurting anyone shouldn't get a person in trouble. Criminals hurt people which means we already have ways to punish them.

  36. Not really. Egalitarian societies used to be extremely violent and we're reaching unprecedented levels of peace despite inequality. Inequality does not make honest people violent.

  37.  @Jone952  when everyone was equally dirt poor and communities couldn't be larger than a dead animal could feed. If another pack of humans tried to steal your prey, people would fight.

  38.  @Jone952  Nope. If one group had 1 meal and another group had a hundred million meals, there would be no reason to fight. When there's only one meal and both groups have an equal chance to get it, violence ensues.

  39.  @Jone952  you're strawmanning by inverting causality.

  40. You don't need a license to have a car. Costco is a private business that has the right to demand membership. But the government can't simply put licenses on voting...

  41. lul making 400 million guns illegal will make them go away

  42.  @susannehartl3067  "By owning a gun you make a choice, whereas poll taxes apply to everyone." - False. Poll taxes don't apply to anyone who doesn't wish to register as a voter. "I missing the connection between poll taxes and voting right" - the point of poll taxes was to make poor people unable to register to vote and thus deny them the right to vote without explicitly banning them from voting.

  43.  @techiefromcanada  the police will only come after you've been murdered. Do you think your precinct is gonna waste resources keeping you safe? Not unless you're an important witness for a trial.
