    Media rigging Yang to lose is pretty obvious, lots of proof, not like bigfoot with bigfoot filmed in 96p cameras.

    If everyone agrees that human rights are being violated, then why would we need to violently overthrow the government by using firearms?
    The violations would be addressed as everyone agrees they are wrong.

    You would have to show proof that the media has conspired to rig its coverage to cause Yang to lose support. Something like internal memos, phone records, texts, etc.
    Media outlets are private organizations, they program their content based on what they think needs to be covered, or what they think their patrons perceive to want to know.
    Yang didn't generate much interest.

    Now do you have some proof, some tangible records showing that the media is rigged?

    I’m with MeAgain – what is your point?

    I mean do you know anything about the history of Myanmar?

    What has this got to do in the context of US gun control?

    I trust that most of you believe that no one should have a weapon to defend yourself or your loved ones ?

    Not at all. However, an assault rifle with a bandolier of high-capacity magazines isn't a defensive weapon, unless you live in a combat zone.
    If you feel the need to own an assault rifle to defend yourself, you're mistaken. What you really need to do is reassess your life choices.

    You mean the one I license, register, insure, and have demonstrated that I have sufficient education and competency to operate? What's your point?
    What it's not is an M3 Bradley with a 25 mm Bushmaster on it.

    "law abiding gun owner" should not be confused with someone who is "legally able to buy a gun"
