Yeah, but the mag is smaller

The rounds are less powerful

Desert Eagle

Finally, the handguns in the movies

I think guns that have the power to that with power should require a background check. Those handguns that have a very high rpm should require the same testing for rifles

Power doesnt really matter against a human

shut up, don't let the lefty's any ideas

It’s just a fucking handgun. I’d give it to my child to teach them how to shoot right

Handguns are far more easily concealed, which is why they're usually 21 to purchase rather than 18 for a long gun. That's also why so many murders are committed with a handgun vs a rifle, because of concealment.

I have gun license for a reason

"Guns dont kill People, People do" so instead of saying which kind of gun a person can have, decide what kind of person can have a gun

EXACTLY

With that said, handguns don't go off by themselves. The trigger needs to be pulled by a finger. Attached to that finger is a person, and as @N.O.O.N.E said, that's where the responsibility lies.

The thing that matter the most in a shooting situation are how high is the fire rate and how frequently do you need to reload. A hand gun with a high rpm should be require a mental break down, while a revolver shouldn’t

Remember like two years ago a dude killed a bunch of people with a rental van? The van didn't do it, the driver did. I don't support regulations on vans because of the actions of that dude.

No what matters in a shooting situation is what kind of person has the gun because millions of people posess "high power/fire rate" guns and dont go out and commit mass shootings

Speed loaders for revolvers exist. They make it so that you load all 6 (or 8, depending on the revolver) rounds at once, doesn't take much longer than reloading a Glock lol

And if the fire rate matters in how bad a shooting situation is then why are a majority of shootings done with handguns

A mass shooting is something like 4 or more people so reloading isnt important

The type of gun that is used in a shooting incident doesnt matter if that incident doesnt happen in the first place

How about we have this. A computerized system with every person criminal record. If they have a crime on them, give them the mental evaluation, if they don’t, give them a gun

That's kinda what happens now, except for the mental evaluation part. They just don't get the gun if it was a violent crime.

True, just make wait times much much quicker

How long are wait times where you are? Because in VA it's virtually instant (on a good day at least)

I don’t know, live in Florida and I never felt that I needed a gun

In states where there isn't a mandatory waiting period, it's supposed to be under 15 minutes for a background check I believe

Oh, that’s good, I bet 15 minutes will make any difference in a any case of having to protect yourself. Also, imagine coming in to the gun store with the goal of killing someone

After 9/11 they used the fear of terrorism to pass the patriot act, which let them destroy our 4th amendment.
They are now inciting a fear of domestic terrorism so that people will let them pass a new bill which neuters the second amendment via banning ammo and limiting the amount of guns citizens can purchase.
They have also made the first steps towards destroying our first amendment, they're using the media propaganda machine to declare freedom of speech a threat to our democracy.
People will give up all of their liberties if you make them afraid and promise them security.
We must rise up and take action, before the first amendment is officially nuked.
Defending 2A is the **last chance** we have to turn this thing around, and they already have a bill in congress to neuter it. They must be stopped from passing this sort of legislation at any cost.

Indeed if we were to lose our right to bare arms we would essentially lose out ability to fight against a corrupt government invade it were to happen

Well the gov is corrupt but not to that we have to actually shoot them (almost there tho)

Also while I know most of you don't like Fox news, CNN is literally trying to get the government to shut Fox News down. And I find that scarier than removing parler from google&apple

Exactly like wtf. If Fox News goes down via the government then what would be the biggest infringement of our freedom of speech in history

They're already saying freedom of speech is a threat to our democracy. They're prepping us for their attack on 1A soon as they finish destroying 2A

They want to get rid of our gun laws so when they take away our right to freedom of speech we can’t do shit against the military

Remember the Sedition Act with Woodrow Wilson? They’re basically just doing the same thing and torching anyone in their way

Also, this happened today

This is why I had sat down and theorized what would fix this country and two simple changes will fix the country. 1: remove the political parties, and 2: destroy the ability for politics to make deals with corporations

If we FORCE those changes then america will slowly gain its stability and become stronger then ever now that two sides aren’t always fighting each other. And no more corrupt politics

I fear that even protesting won't be enough. They despise us and they fear us. They think we're brainwashed and thus they refuse to even listen when we speak.
