No

this guy just told me

NJ gun laws only don't work because pennsylvania is here

and I tried explaining that if a NJ resident bought a gun in PA (and btw we have mandatory BC on all purchases) it'd have to be shipped to a distributor in NJ

and also the shooter had handguns

and in PA you need a special license to buy handguns

so obviously that isn't the fucking problem

and this guy is like

but lol u can jus go into walmart n buy gun xd

Yeah, there's no qualification required for offering an opinion.

Thankfully I don't have anyone I know who's that stupid w.r.t. gun control in my life.

I would play devils advocate though for a moment

A lot of times the anti-2A people will say things like, "Gun Control works fine in Britain and Australia"

And, technically, they have a small point, those nations have been able to control the flow of guns... BUT.. they're island nations, they share no borders with any other nation

So it's true, the presence of areas of no law enforcement, or more-free people bordering a gun-control area does make gun control harder

But this is a good thing, not a bad thing.

(they also had no noticable change in crime rate patterns after it)

(in fact, aussie and UK both have rising crime rates right now :/)

who would win

political propaganda

or one graphy boi

Yeah, I know you're right, I'm not diving into that argument.

In the technical sense, which is what the anti-2A people stick to... yes those ISLAND nations have controlled GUNS, but they did not get any help controlling crime.

But all this means is those island nations are more prison nations than ours.

we need civil war 2.0

no

coasts versus everyone else

No

yes

Change the culture

shoot the tories

Force the pearl clutchers to HAVE to deal with your freedoms

change the culture

death is a preferable alternative to communism

politics is downstream of it.

grass roots folk are too quiet

For now

There's a lot of stupid. I live in California I see it every day. People here literally have physical reactions to the presence of guns.

The reason they do is they have never experienced a culture where it's normal for people to open-carry in town.

As soon as you spend time in an area of America where people just carry everywhere, concealed or not, you learn very quickly that it's no different from people walking around with fire extinguishers on their belt... They are tools for an emergency, and they can save lives when they're available.
