What rights are the left trying to take away?
2A right to privacy right to freedom of association
Keep in mind when I say left I mean the Democrats
I know you mean democrats, but that would be incorrect about the second amendment and freedom of association.
Where'd you read that?
The blues have been spearheading the attempts to strip gun rights away for a decade. They're the reason the ATF felt so comfortable changing rules randomly to turn millions of Americans into felons overnight. The most agregious recent example is the legality of arm braces. Although to be fair that gung ho attitude never changed when the reds were in office. Theyre more than content to let it happen.
I did mispeak about freedom of association however. Turns out that's also being spearheaded by the reds.
Yeah, but you're also wrong about the gun rights. They're trying to enact sensible laws, not strip gun rights.
It's not egregious, that's called a sensible conversation.
Why do gun fanatics need these types of guns anyway? What are you hunting, dragons? It's so cringe to me when gun enthusiasts get all upset about responsible gun laws - they just want to shoot everything and anything with the most firepower they can acquire. God forbid they have to earn the right to own such a weapon.
Trying to apply justifications to the stripping of rights does not change the fact the rights are being eroded. Also if you think it's okay to make millions of people felons overnight by the whim of unelected bureaucrats then this conversation clearly will go nowhere. Have a good day.
Also wrong. I knew you were going to spout some far right bullshit propaganda.
Here, take some time to educate yourself.
Listen up people - it is okay to evolve our laws as we evolve as people. No one needs a fucking AR-15, and if you do, it should be regulated.
...JFC
To bear arms.
Also nobody seems interested in male reproductive rights.
Also, have you seen how leftist moderators here on Lemmy behave?
No they're not.
Okay, I'll bite. Like what?
Do tell...
Can you see yourself right now? You're literally lying and discrediting purely based of personal impression, and that's the same behavior your whole crowd has that I have a problem with.
Why don't you cite one reference to support your bullshit?
Do I really need a reference to point out your party's major stances? FFS, do you even know them yourself, or do you just pick a color and root for your team like it's sports?
Yes. You need a reference when you're talking pure bullshit. None of that unfounded crap is on the democratic agenda. That's why you can't cite a single reference.
Bullshit like yours needs to be called out every time.
That is not taking your precious guns away, it's requiring you to not be a complete moron before acquiring one. Which is apparently why you have a problem with the proposal.
Looks like you're the one that needs their hand held.
