  1. My kid thinks Superman should be at every school to protect them. Is that the kind of major impact on this decision you want? Or should we leave the decisions to the adults?

  2. Are you equally proud of the students that don’t ideologically align with you, or nah?

  3.  @ra5928  Well actually. No president has ever been elected by a majority popular vote. But at least you don’t understand how elections work.

  4. Do you also stand with the students you don’t ideologically agree with, or nah?

  5.  @el_chavez  Maybe one day you’ll realize none of these people care about the opinions of kids. They only care about tribalism.

  6.  @robsemail  Didn’t you vote for gun control up and down the ballot in 2020 and 2022...? How’s that working out?

  7.  @DMKRP  Does that include the advice of children that don’t ideologically align with you, or nah?

  8.  @DMKRP  We did put it to a vote. We put it to a vote every 2, 4, or 6 years depending on the office. Yet, the people you voted for have done nothing....

  9.  @enjoyesk8978  The vast majority of Americans are ignorant to the current laws and have a massive misconception about the inanimate object they want to regulate.

  10.  @ra5928  Are you saying Trump is right about the electoral college? Personally I think he’s a moron. But I guess you like his policies and opinions. Are you wearing your red hat?

  11.  @joenarbaiz1640  So what state doesn’t select their electoral members based on their state’s popular vote?
    1
  12.  @joenarbaiz1640  Aww. So now you avert the question because it doesn’t fit your narrative. I thought you wanted a genuine discussion. How sad to see.
    1
  13.  @joenarbaiz1640  And as I pointed out how the national popular vote is completely irrelevant, given that no president has ever been elected by the national popular vote. Now please name a state that doesn’t select their electors based on their state’s popular vote...?
    1
  14.  @joenarbaiz1640  So since the point you brought up is completely irrelevant to how elections function... what’s your point exactly?
    1
  15.  @joenarbaiz1640  So what Federal Office is chosen based on a National popular vote... name just one. Please. Or are you trying to say that all other offices are decided by popular votes at the state level... just like the presidential electorates. See how your national popular vote narrative is just irrelevant nonsense?

  16.  @joenarbaiz1640  “It’s only completely irrelevant to how presidential elections function. All remaining elections are based on popular vote.” -Your words Given that this is your response to my statement that the National popular vote is irrelevant to the presidential election. Your second sentence implies all remaining elections are determined by a national popular vote. No need to pretend like you didn’t incorrectly state something. You’ve already done it a lot so far.

  17.  @joenarbaiz1640  “It’s only completely irrelevant... All other elections.” As I said, this was a response to my statement about he National popular vote being irrelevant. Therefore the “it” in your first sentence is the national popular vote. And your second sentence was in reference/comparison to your first sentence, given the phrase “all remaining elections”... Sorry buddy, you said what you said, no matter how hard you pretend you didn’t. Good job!

  18. Yeah, it’s almost like the children are rewarded for having a specific ideology. I can’t imagine why they say the thing you want them to say.

  19. There were not 20,200 killed by mass shootings. Not even close. Try again, but without the inaccuracy.

  20. Why do you feel the need to spread misinformation for the sake of your narrative?

  21.  @StealthyJim  Really? Now you’re going to spread more misinformation? Wow. Just wow.

  22.  @StealthyJim  An AR-15 is not the military gun of choice, it simply looks like one. This is akin to making a stock car look like a race car. Furthermore, there is no “gun show loop hole” as even dealers at gun shows are subject to the same federal laws that apply to all arms dealers, regardless of their location. Lastly, your notion of banning semi-automatic weapons is born out of pure ignorance. A break action is just as lethal as anything you want to spout on about.

  23.  @StealthyJim  It’s amazing how you insist they are the same thing while acknowledging there is a distinct mechanical/functional difference between the two. Which is a pretty big difference according to the ATF. Even most private sales utilize background checks, as you can purchase a background check from any licensed dealer. This is done due to liability. If I engage with you in a private sale, and you are not allowed to possess the weapon, I would become criminally liable. Unfortunately, criminals don’t care about this and do engage in illegal transactions anyways regardless of the current law or whatever law you want to pass for private sales. In the most recent Nashville event. The assailant killed six people over the course of 15 minutes (AP News). Do you think you could fire six shots from a break action in 15 minutes? Even muskets during the Revolution could be fired at a rate of three shots per minute. Fact is, columbine happened during an AR ban and magazine capacity limitations.

  24.  @StealthyJim  Massive similarities in function and style...? What similar functions do the civilian and military versions it have unique to an AR, while not having the same internal components? A semi automatic AR has more in common in its functionality with a Semi auto shotgun, but that doesn’t fit your narrative. Military stamp of approval? There are many manufacturers of AR platforms. Most are not brands purchased by the military. Your misinformation is truly wild. You don’t need a dealer to facilitate in a sale, in order to walk in a simply purchase a background check. You would know this if you ever went through the process. But you haven’t. You parrot things that you think are correct without having any actually knowledge or experience with this topic. And what semi-automatic weapon would stop you in the 15 minutes it took the police to arrive at the Nashville scene, given you don’t want teachers to be armed?

  25.  @StealthyJim  My Honda sedan shares a lot of the same parts as Honda’s Formula 1 race engine. Does that mean they are the same thing? Do you think a mini-14 is a military weapon? They share the same components but with a wooden stock that isn’t black and scary. You can walk into any gun store in the country and ask to simply purchase a background check for yourself. No need for the store to facilitate in any part of the transaction. Everyone I know engaging in private sales with strangers require them to show up with the background check results they purchased. If you don’t believe me, give it a try. They are only a few dollars. But you’re not interesting in reality. Your only interested in the imaginary world you’ve created through media narratives. It’s incredibly sad. Please stop trying to regulate something you don’t understand.

  26.  @StealthyJim  I really and truly don’t care what your opinions are. What bothers me is how you insist on perpetuating a narrative about military rifles. If a mini-14 isn’t a military rifle, neither is an AR. You just insist that it is, so you can support your opinions. That’s the real issue here. If you want to have ignorant opinions not based in reality, you’re allowed. But don’t try to present facts to support your opinion about a topic you are clearly uneducated on.
    1
  27.  @StealthyJim  Once again, I don’t care what your intended point or argument about an AR is. That does not change your misinformed and uneducated statements on AR vs mil-spec. But a lever action is acceptable to you? Which was invented in 1826 and was advertised to be able to shoot six shots in less than six seconds even then.
    1
  28.  @StealthyJim  Great example with the 4x2 or the 4x4. They are distinctly two different types of vehicles with their own distinct limitations. This is precisely why they are marketed completely differently. And your current language is akin to calling a 4x2 with big tires and a lift kit a 4x4. It’s incorrect and ignorant. But you insist on doing this, because it’s the only way you can justify your opinions.
    1
  29.  @StealthyJim  You say the it has no weight on your opinions... yet you continue to insist they are the same thing. And your comparison is your leading point in your original post. It is your focal point for your entire argument. Meanwhile, you think a weapon is fine if it’s a bolt-action. You think it’s acceptable for people to own a Barrett M95, an actual mil-spec rifle, because of its action. See how your opinions are based in ignorance?
    1
  30.  @StealthyJim  Your argument is the military’s preferred platform is semi-automatics therefore they should be outlawed. This is why you call an AR military approved. Then proceed to say how ARs are similar to every other semi-auto. Now, you’re being called out for your BS. And you pretend like it’s not the keystone to your entire argument. An argument born out of ignorance on the subject. Ignorance such as saying I’m making a case for banning all magazine-fed weapons, like lever and bolt action. “Magazine-fed” is not an action type. This is pure ignorance of the subject. Dunning-Krueger effect at full force.

  31.  @StealthyJim  So a semi-auto .22, arguably the most popular rifle you will find on any farm or any backwoods home should be banned. While a Barret M95, which is a war crime to shoot in combat directly at people, is acceptable because it’s a bolt-action. There is zero logic here. You profess it’s about rate of fire. But that does not equate to lethality. It’s an ignorant concept and idea. And you have continuously used misinformed narratives to justify it.

  32.  @StealthyJim  Actually... you can purchase those. Once again, ignorance from you on the subject. See how you keep demonstrating your ignorance on the subject with every reply?
    1
  33.  @StealthyJim  Well... it’s also a crime to discharge a hand gun in most places too. Apparently that justifies your claims of a ban. So does that suffice for semi-autos too? No, of course it doesn’t. You type so much. Save the energy and just say what you want. You want all guns banned without exception.

  34.  @joshramirez7  Actually the 5.56 nato round replaced the 7.62 nato round due to being less lethal. Killing a soldier eliminates one from the battlefield. Wounding a soldier eliminates them, and the people that carry them away.

  35. It’s really sad you’re so uneducated on the thing you want to regulate. It’s almost like David counts on you to be.

  38. Well. Columbine was how many years ago now? Ironic given the solution you want, was in place back then. It’s almost like it doesn’t work...
