You are conflating these problems through a category error fallacy.
guns are not just an american right, they are funamentally part of the human right to self defense
And what is better than a background check, really? That's the only legitimate check we have to ensure citizens can responsible and cogently handle a firearm and about 95% of the population are not psychotic looneys.
the right of self defense is not granted to you, it is born with you
We don't get to infringe upon 95% of a population simply because there happens to be a statistical outlier that is severely dangerous to them.
To say we have to "better" the issue of right to bear arms is essentially saying there is a way to "better" humanity, and you cannot better humanity through secular means. Mankind is fallen in nature, we need a feedback loop of externalized accountability in a society to weed out the possible crimes and deliver proper justice.
That feedback loop is, ironically, solved by granting the citizens a means and way to access firearms to protect themselves from evildoers. The government's job is simple: protect citizens' rights and maintain law&order. Beyond that, the government has no say.
There's a difference between being able to drive and being able to own firearms, one is a privileges granted by the state and the other is a guaranteed right
3v1 overruled, so no, not everything can "always be better"
but it is a good positive motto, I'll give it that
oh and that number of 38,000 gun deaths, about 36,000 of those approx. are gun suicides, 2,000 being ACTUAL gun kills
And most of them were by handguns.
You know, the "police type" of guns.
Not the "scary lookin'" rifles like an AR-15.
Fun fact, the Scary looking rifles are a lot more difficult to kill yourself with due to the length of the barrel
There are a lot more shotgun and handgun suicides due to the easier length of the barrel to pull the trigger
Also. a vast majority of the scary black rifles are just skins on stuff like the Ruger .22
Yeah
Then there's also caliber disparacy
they think that the AR-15 shoots a bigger bullet (which in reality it can using caliber conversion barrels and uppers) than standard
@PantherUnit01 actually, of the 14,000 homicides in 2019, 10,000 were by gun
Remember that they like to inflate those with suicides
@PantherUnit01 ah yes, the nations homicide statistics based on all polive reoprts filed and written down by the most reliable source on domestic terrorism is inflating the number of homicides
And it is true
they like to put the number as a fact, but when you subdivide it, it is much smaller per cause
@chaz Youve been spoken to about this before. Take your gun debate to <#720484562400051201>
ok
@A Person tell me why they are good commies
they pulled off a sucessful captil-socalism
Who are those people?
40,000 citizens of an ancient city state
Primary source?
103 years ago, The War to end all Wars ended on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month with around 60 million people taking part in it
*It ended nothing*
*yet it changed the world forever*
Happy Remembrance Day guys
I am sorry that I do not have one, I research it four years ago.
