I think gun nuts are sitting at home laughing because the people that are trying to take their guns away are asking them to help with their guns

this is what started this particular conversation.

my points are:
1. nobody is asking anybody anything in earnest in this exchange
2. "the people that are trying to take their guns away" describes liberals
3. the people that would be asking for help are protesters
4. the demographic of the protesters skews overall more left than liberal (and others have also characterized the protesters as primarily antifa/anarchists)
5. anarchists & other leftists do not want to take their guns
6. nobody is asking the (right-wing) "gun nuts" to bring their guns and save them; the left has gun nuts, too.
7. the reason the joke is being made is because those right-wing gun nuts talk a big game about tyranny, and will demonstrate against things that are actually just inconveniences that they've labeled tyranny, but when actual tyranny occurs, they don't care because the appropriate people are suffering

I just think if everyone sat down for a few mins they'd realize they have more in common than they think and we could all have machine guns.

:lol:

(No I know it's been so long that y'all haven't had guns that a reintroduction would be weird but...)

Ive never been a free man but okay.

And yes, one of the lovely things about many european countries, and one of the very few lovely things left about the UK these days is a distinct absense of guns.

You mean the many European countries with strong gun cultures?

Cause I've got friends in Finland who own shit I can't have. I had a Czech gf who was very cool with firearms. I don't want to say Switzerland but Switzerland.

Finland has guns because last time I checked they had public service anda healthy fear of Russia. They dont however have a problem with gun violence.

I'd contend legal gun ownership doesn't have anything to do with gun violence.

Edit: I was tryin to figure out a way to end this and in the US you can buy automatic weapons. It's a paperwork nightmare. Only one crime has ever been committed, by a police officer, with a legally owned machine gun.
