  1. So teachers should just be helpless victims?

  2. I'm not an NRA member, but semi-automatic rifles are very useful for home defense. More fundamentally, the whole point is to have firepower to enable the citizenry to be able to function as militia.

  3. Because we can observe that the goal is to make them effectively illegal.

  4. You are not safe not owning a gun, just living in naive ignorance. Criminals and tyrants do not care if you "live decently." They do not think to themselves "Oh, that's a decent person, I won't rob them."

  5. Let me know when governments get rid of their guns.

  6.  @nataliag6885  You don't have to trust the system in order to look out for others and looking out for others doesn't require sacrificing yourself. Systems are fundamentally composed of people and people are imperfect, both in terms of ability and in terms of motive. People do not suddenly become angels when they are elected into office or hired as police officers.

  7. They don't sell guns at the supermarket in the US.

  8. I'm sorry, but no. First of all, "well regulated" in context basically means able to perform its function properly. A well regulated militia needs to be well trained, well organized, and well armed. Second, it is specifically the right of the people, not the right of the militia. Like all the other rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights, it is an individual right. Rights fundamentally belong to individuals.

  9. Out lives are the best in human history under capitalism.

  10. Really? I always find that the anti-gun crowd relies on emotional manipulation and deception instead of logical argument.

  11. If no one was allowed a gun, then the physically strong can just have their way with the physically weak.

  12. Those are rookie numbers, we need to get those numbers up. As for taking away firearms... try it, see how that goes.

  13. Global poverty rates have pretty consistently dropped over time.

  14. Let me know when you get guns away from the government and I'll consider it.

  15. Part of the problem is that socialism is very nebulous and encompasses a lot of different political and economic philosophies, from anarchism to democratic socialism to marxist leninism. The thing they have in common is the social ownership of the means of production, which contrasts with the private ownership of the means of production with capitalism... which is what liberalism espouses.

  16. "no one complains about 'their rights'" Because they don't have them in a country where the Prime Minister can simply declare that the lawfully acquired property of many Canadians is now illegal.

  17. It is though.

  18.  @Maksie0  Because that's the reality of socialism. It doesn't matter if you're anti-authoritarian, socialism results in authoritarianism.

  19. Pistols are used in crimes and suicides significantly more than ARs.

  20. In the context of the 18th century, well regulated basically means functioning properly. A well regulated militia is one that is well trained, well organized, and well armed. An unarmed militia would be basically useless, so it's of vital importance that the right of the people to keep and bear arms not be infringed.

  21. American history. Personal firearms have been important since settler days.

  22.  @Bob-sx7iv  Yes, the British military used guns. Do you think the government is going to ban guns from its military when it enacts your imagined gun ban? If so you're even more delusional than I thought.

  23. I wouldn't consider an AR-15 to be a big gun.

  24.  @justincousins-lee5264  The versions being sold to civilians were specifically made to be sold to civilians after the military versions were banned, so no.

  25. The socialists can just rant into the echo chamber as usual.

  26.  @MsAdlinaMeirosa  No, the odds that you will ever actually need to defend yourself at all are quite low. They aren't zero though, nowhere in the world are they zero, so why wouldn't you want to be prepared?

  27. It's not about fear, it's about being prepared.

  28. Automatic weapons were effectively banned back in 1986.

  29.  @99oilers55  European countries aren't socialist.

  30.  @99oilers55  Norway isn't socialist. It's a capitalist economy with strong unions and social safety nets / programs.

  31. The childishness of socialists is really quite something to behold. Don't worry though, you're free to believe in bad ideas like socialism in the liberal world in which we live.

  32. It's objectively true that there is someone out to attack you. Ignoring that reality doesn't make it go away.

  33. Neat, maybe they'll be able to catch your killer when they show up way too late to save you.

  34.  @calamity2956  Bats, hammers, and fists exist and can put an end to you just fine.

  35. Socialism is quite possibly the most insidiously evil philosophy of modern times. At least when fascism was demonstrated to be monstrous, its followers had to slink into the shadows and hide for fear of being discovered for what they are. Socialism has been repeatedly demonstrated to be monstrous, yet people still proudly walk around calling themselves socialist. It's incredible.

  36.  @rean2276  Hey, if you want to get pedantic about how the capitalist label is being used, then let's get pedantic.

  37.  @jacksonv6933  I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery. There are measures that can be taken to reduce the incidence of mass shootings, but not at the expense of liberty.

  38. Capitalism is easily defensible. It's socialism that's fundamentally flawed. Value is subjective, voluntary exchange is mutually beneficial, theft and slavery are both unjust.

  39. @m. a. You don't have to listen to them exclusively, you can also look at historical record. Socialism is garbage.

  40.  @ScreenHackTV  Yes, I know people walk around with guns in the US. I'm one of them. To us, the rest of the world is the joke for allowing themselves to be rendered helpless by their governments.

  41. He's also a billionaire protected by plot armor.

  42. @You just lost the game You don't need a vehicle to travel, but it sure does make it easier.

  43.  @Bob-sx7iv  The Constitution is ink on parchment. It doesn't have magical powers to stop tyranny.

  44. @Albert Whisker  Nonsense. It's only subsidizing the employer in the presence of welfare programs that make it that way, which is its own issue. Declaring that it must be a waste of time is just arrogance on your part. Gaining experience to be able to get a higher paying job in the future is valuable in itself and even a job that doesn't pay a "living wage" can be used to fund education, which is something that I did myself. My first job didn't pay a "living wage" and I did not need it to. Stop trying to force people to act the way you think they should act and let them make their own decisions based on their own circumstances.

  45. The priority should be making students actually safe. Feeling safe is not the same as being safe.

  46. Well that's an incredibly misleading statement. Other countries still have hundreds of gun deaths. As for the second part, what is it about liberty and the right to defend yourself that is so hard for non-Americans to understand?
    3
  47. I'm sure you're leading by example, right? You've sold everything you own beyond the bare minimum to sustain your life and have dedicated yourself to serving others, yes?

  48. The National Rifle Association. It's a group that advocates for gun rights and teaches firearm safety and marksmanship.

  49. Yes, with rights come duties, hence why murder is already a crime. Someone merely owning a firearm doesn't violate your right to life in any way. On the other hand, strict gun regulation does violate the right to liberty of innocent people. The one with the messed up mentality is you.

  50.  @oscarlandgren411  Okay, if you want to ignore the statistics then how about some basic human rights and common sense? Who is better able to defend themselves against attackers: someone with a gun or someone without a gun?
