Richmond Gun Rally

But guns kill people. And a lot of guns at a rally means lots of people should have been killed. Right?

 

Sigh...

 

look all those patriots. standing up for the second amendment. the 'rat in the governors office is not trying to get rid of the second amendment, he's trying to run right over the constitution . it's supposed to be what the people want , not what he wants. Ralphie thinks he's gonna take from the citizens whatever he wants. a Virginia senator has called for him to step down . can't happen soon enough.

 

thing is, I don't think that's necessarily the case here; or in other instances where the second amendment is in question. It's more of a cultural phenomenon born of the Net and a desire to further one's argument against a controlled environment around weaponry.

I find it obtuse and grandiose. In my honest opinion, it's mostly meant as a means of voicing opposition to gun control, not a patriotic celebration of any kind.

 

It is the will of the people though. The recent gun bills that were passed in VA were passed by lawmakers who were elected democratically by a majority of VA voters.

 

if that was what the people want, no guns, then there would be no one out in the street peacefully protesting.

 

Apparently 'the people' is not a uniform group all sharing the same view or opinion. Maybe you really mean that it's supposed to be what people like you want, not a significant amount of your fellow citizens?

Does it look like those people are the majority?

 

I said the majority, not all people
And the gun bills dont take away anyone's right to own a gun.
Just a hunch, but I'm guessing you have no clue what is actually in the bills that were just passed

 

VIDEO: Virginia Rally Attendees Pick Trash Up After Themselves

Wow, these rally attendees actually cleaned up after themselves!
Pseudo-enviornmentalists of Extinction Rebellion and Pipeline protestors can really learn from this kind of stewardship

 

no one can go against the constitution , unless the people want to change it. the 'rats want your guns, they want total control of YOU. they want sheeple . people they can shove around at their every wish . I know the typical bills, no high capacity magazines, no pistol grips, no semi auto gun actions. that's the way it starts. first, limitations, then registration, then confiscation. then we'll be powerless to stop a tyrannical government. but if you like being a slave , go ahead. if the American people let the 'rats start telling us what we can have , it's all over. no more America . the sanctuary movement has spread to many other states . I hope it spreads to many more .

 

Hmm
That's the way it starts before confiscation?

Then how come other similar bills exist in other states and yet those states have never confiscated anyone's guns?

So basically what you're saying is that's how it starts in your imagination, not in actual reality

 

Lol.. Man, the US seems so fucked if we go by the internet.

You realize if a tyrannical government would be out to get rid of an armed citizen, they can just bomb them into oblivion, no matter if you have a real assault rifle or even a bazooka?

 

I always make that point. Go to an air show and tell me what you plan to use your AR for.

 

The US and the Soviet armies always had a hard time getting the guns out of the armed citizens of Afghanistan when they could just bomb all the mountainous dwellings to oblivion.

 

It's really to kill wild hogs when they stampede over your property. Curiously enough they're too fast and dangerous for these gun fanatics to shoot with a standard hunting rifle

 

1) they weren't the government of that country, so its a whole different scenario.
2) There's an obvious reason they rarely could bomb a whole town. They weren't there to oppress the locals.
3) Nice try

 

Under what circumstance would the US government nuke its own people?
And if they did wage war on their own people, who's to say that the entire military would be on the government's side? Military members still have civilian families, and not all of them would follow orders to bomb their own civilians. Kind of like how the Egyptian military resisted orders from Mubarak during the Egyptian revolution.

A disarmed society is easier to oppress than an armed society.

Nice try

 

An irrational, uneducated society is also easier to oppress than a rational, educated society.
Yet here we are

 

This thread is just plain comical
