Are Conservatives Second Amendment Extremists?

RestoreCommonSense said:
Let me introduce myself... I'm a conservative from Canada. There are many things I like about conservatives. I appreciate their sense of shrinking government to keep our taxes low. I'm completely against deficit-financing unless there is a bad recession, war or national emergency. I'm against political correctness. I don't support the climate cult... The list goes on and on. What I can't understand about American conservatives is their obsessions with guns.

I live outside Toronto, and I've only seen one hand gun in my life. If I had to guess, I think less than 1% of my suburban neighbors has a hand gun in their house. Some people have rifles for hunting.

If you draw a picture of a gun in a high school, you will get an automatic suspension.

To be honest, I'm glad no one has guns... There are a lot of stressed out people, and my first concern with people owning a firearm is suicide.

In this day and age, anyone can lose their mind... and if you happen to have a gun in proximity to someone who offends you, some people might use it.

So America has a serious problem with mass shootings. I don't get why conservatives want to support the NRA? Are you really worried about the government going tyrannical, and kicking your door down to send you to concentration camps?

I don't see the government breaking into anyone s homes.... but I hear about some school shooting on the news at least once a week.

I doubt any of these are false flags.... They're just pissed off bullied kids, who decide they want to kill a few people, before they take their own lives.

So the promotion of the second amendment is having real world consequences.... Why don't conservatives feel any shame about their extremist second amendment rhetoric?

With mental illness on a steap time, isn't it time we stop selling semi-automatic weapons?

Americans have 100 times greater chance of being shot than Canadians... Until you can lower that number at least 10 to 1, Your guns laws are unacceptable.

Really? Well then, by all means stay above the 49th parallel. We don't want you to get shot. :laugh:

As for guns, we don't care what Canadians think of our laws or Constitution. No one is forcing you to live here. ;)

Piers Morgan said it best. There're an average of 32 people killed by guns per year in Britian. There're an average of 85 People killed per day in the United States....

That just proves that the less guns there are, the less people who die due to gun deaths.

It's a simple trade-off. For everyone shot by an Isis Teorrist, you have thousands of people shot by ordinary gun deaths.

If you ban the guns, you will save thousands of lives.... unless the idiots want to start a civil war.

we will NOT ban guns

Your nation doesn't either
 
I think we should ban all semi-automatic weapons and only allow shotguns, and single shot rifles for home protect and hunting. We need to Implement vigorous background checks, and non-responsible gun owners, should have all firearms confiscated. End of story.

How does Trillion dollar deficits Make America Great Again. Do you ever wonder if Donald Trump is controlled opposition? As for guns, the only thing Trump has done... is a bump stock ban.... You have a long way to go!

Did you ever ask that during Obamunism? Trust me, America will always be much greater than Canada. We don't allow our liberties to be subjugated to the Government.

There is a reason the Canadian dollar is $1.32 to the US dollar. ;)

So it will be interesting to see who has common sense gun proposals, vs the far-right sheep who refuse to accept the fact, that America has a serious gun problem. I would consider myself a True conservative, because unlike Trump, I want to see America return to surplus budgets. If that means slashing the funding for the military, health care, and social security, i'm all for it.

I do believe in protecting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happyness... So maybe we can have a debate about how to significantly reduce the number of mass shootings. True conservatives want to see life protected.

conservative ideas wreak the budget

I don't have a problem with peoples rights. I have a problem with gun culture. Americans make guns apart of their ego... That's the problem. Canadians also have the right to own a gun...but we treat it like Sex in the bedroom. We don't brag about it... We embrace modesty.

Braging about owning guns if froned upon, and it keeps us safe.

"anada’s rate of gun-related homicides rose last year to the highest since 1992, boosting the overall rate of deadly incidents to almost a decade high.
There were 266 firearm homicides in 2017, an increase of 43 from the prior year, Statistics Canada said Wednesday from Ottawa. The ratio of 0.72 events per 100,000 people climbed 18 percent last year."

Seems like your gun laws could use some work. :laugh:

Well that's because Justin Tredau invites the third world to Canada... Caucasian gun crime is almost non-existance in Canada.

That's a lie filled claim. But again, there is a reason for the second amendment. Read what I have posted and educate yourself. Then, come back and debate me on what laws would have prevented the mass shootings here, in France and in Norway. ;)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibus_Budget_Reconciliation_Act_of_1993




The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (or OBRA-93) was a federal law that was enacted by the 103rd United States Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It has also been unofficially referred to as the Deficit Reduction Act of 1993. Part XIII of the law is also called the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993.
The bill stemmed from a budget proposal made by Clinton in February 1993; he sought a mix of tax increases and spending reductions that would cut the deficit in half by 1997. Though every congressional Republican voted against the bill, it passed by narrow margins in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The act increased the top federal income tax rate from 31% to 39.6% , increased the corporate income tax rate, raised fuel taxes, and raised various other taxes. The bill also included $255 billion in spending cuts over a five-year period. The effects of the bill helped the US federal government to experience in 1998 its first budget surplus since the 1960s.
