@Dorothy : Why should I compromise my rights as an American citizen to appease another?
I do not trust that the government, nor any other citizen here, to have my best interest at heart.
Humans are selfish creatures by nature, especially those in power. If they were giving, kind, nice average people like us they WOULDN'T be in power.
Why would you want to give them more power? We already work like slaves and make almost nothing. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and have little to no savings. Look at how much taxes we pay and how much of it is wasted on nonsense.
These guns are defense weapons.
If you look at the large numbers of people who kill with these weapons they are all on psychiatric drugs, or are criminals to begin with. Absent fathers, broken home ********. What we need is a societal fix. I'd say, stop pushing your kids to take mind altering drugs. How about people listen to them, engage with them, and put them in a hobby instead of doping them up so they can sit mindless on the couch. How about we stop glorifying criminals with giving these ******s record labels and blasting them on radio and tv. How about we go back to parents ACTUALLY RAISING THEIR KIDS instead letting daddy government do it for them through the school system or the daycare Mom at home and dad at work. If they don't have a dad, mom chose poor and those men need to be castrated. We don't need to give men a pass who don't raise their children. Same for them women, if they don't raise their kids, they shouldn't be having anymore. You're on your own with your kids. You had them, you pay for them, you take care of them. We need to stop encouraging this kind of mindset of coddling everybody and providing for everyone.
No law abiding citizen should have to go through this just because some idiots who popped out stupid kids and didn't raise them right.
Don't take my rights away just because these people exist. For every reason and more I should be able to uphold my constitional right because of it.
Shall not be infringed.
