Gun Monkey Madness!

[Taichiliberal]

Once again, Jon Stewart plainly speaks truth to power regarding this country's never-ending nonsense on gun ownership and liberties. As it stands now, the MAGA GOP has a proposal out for making the purchase of gun "supressors" (aka silencers) more accessible (if not totally legal) to the general public. There's also a "reciprocity" act on the table that would allow any yahoo in a lax gun law state to bring his weapon along their travels to any other state .... sort of an "old West" type of thing to an extent.

Now of course the mantra is that more "good guys with guns" will save the day and reduce crime ... especially with all these criminal illegal aliens running amok unchecked throughout the country (sarcasm). Hmm, Jon Stewart takes a look at this:

Silencers have been around for years, you ignorant pissant. They're pretty easy to make.

Silencers are an irrelevancy. Their best use is on a firing range where it keeps the noise down and limits hearing damage.

Aside from that, the 2nd Amendment is a RIGHT like the rest of the Bill of RIGHTS. It isn't a privilege nor is it something that should be regulated to death. The problem isn't firearms, but rather stupid, criminal people willing to misuse them.

Look at the UK. They took the guns away and murders and crimes using knives skyrocketed. Now they're taking the knives away. If the trend keeps going, they'll ban you having anything that can be used as a club...

When you give up your rights and freedom to the government expecting safety in return, you become little more than a slave.

Well said. The OP has been watching too many movies with guns that have “silencers”

No that's not the mantra the matra is, get the fuck over it

 

[Libhater]

The OP is just another path toward the LEFT's complicity with full on Marxism/Communism. But the latest
sign of their full on Marxism/Communism in their playbook is to defund, attack and murder our police/ICE.
It's playing out for us before our very eyes, but Trump has a strong team, and with Pam Bondi on the watch
the chances of biden's illegal criminals doing too much harm are being seriously limited, while deporting
these criminals has become their #1 focus.

Correct. If you don't have subsonic rounds--typically only pistol ammunition is available like that--then there is still going to be the sonic boom (crack) of the round traveling even if the silencer eliminates most or all of the boom from the gas leaving the barrel of the gun.

Guns aren't a big issue with me, one way or the other,
but for the sake of argument,
let's stipulate that America has it all wrong about gun rights.

The right to bear arms is part and parcel of being an American citizen---CONSTITUTIONALLY.
Our Constitution requires far too much consensus to amend now that we've become so polarized.

Thus, those unwilling to end the current republic--I'm not one of them, by the way--
are also unwilling to do the only thing that can change our current situation with gun rights.

As long as the United States of America
all exist as a single republic in its current configuration,
this nation will be a shooting gallery.

That's what the founders seemingly intended,
and that's what a great number of Americans still want.

I personally have much bigger things about which to be dissatisfied.
I've just accepted that capping one another's asses is what we're culturally about.

Marxism/Communism.Soros , Alinsky oh my!!!

The Radical believes that all peoples should have a high standard of food, housing, and health … The Radical places human rights far above property rights. He is for universal, free public education and recognizes this as fundamental to the democratic way of life … The Radical believes completely in real equality of opportunity for all peoples regardless of race, color, or creed. He insists on full employment for economic security but is just as insistent that man's work should not only provide economic security but also be such as to satisfy the creative desires within all men.

Alinsky

Marxism/Communism.Soros , Alinsky oh my!!!

Yeah, you nailed it with Alinsky and Soros that have represented the left's Marxist/Communist agenda here in America.
My guess, and this is only a guess, that the perfectly arranged groups of leftist lowlifes who set off explosives in Texas
to get ICE members outside where they could shoot them down were financed by the communist George Soros. How
else would these 10 or 11 lowlife anti Americans gotten brand new weapons to complete their murderous plan. None
of these goons and trannies had a job or a pocket full of money over 50 cents to cover their worth. These leftists who
attack ICE agents should be doing life in jail.

The major flaw in your response:

Our Constitution requires far too much consensus to amend now that we've become so polarized.

The very creation of the Constitution happened in an extremely polarized environment ... one of the reasons why all those nifty checks and balances were hammered out so that differences could be addressed.

History shows how gun regulation existed even in the early days of America sans the creation of the Constitution. The only thing that has changed now is the degree of corruption in our electoral system, the degree of corruption regarding the donor class and PAC (i.e., money), and a far more diverse population.

Change is hard, but doing the same (or similar) thing repeatedly and expecting a different/better result is insane.

We already went through a "Wild West" type of nation .... gun control first by individual states and then adjoined by federal law via representation followed. Fortunately for future generations, not all feel as you do.

You shoudl have your democrat party make banning guns a central part of their 2026 platform for taking back Congress. Sounds like a winner. Have your Congressional candidates barnstorm the country calling for every gun in America to be confiscated.

You will win every seat I bet

No, the main difference would be the 14th Amendment and whether our rights are incorporated. It's like you think everything existed in a vacuum and no changes were actually made to the contract between the states that created the Federal Government. Back in the day there were states that had official religions because the 1st Amendment was a limit on the Federal Government and not the states. The 14th Changed that.

So, when local authorities ignored the 2nd Amendment, if their state constitution allowed such a thing, it was copacetic, before there was a 14th Amendment. For a long time there was an argument that this one enumerated right was not "incorporated" or "not a personal right"... But the SCOTUS has ruled on those things since. It is a personal right, therefore incorporated...

The primary reason that government agents utilize sound supressors on their weapons is to protect their hearing. WHY wouldn't citizens be allowed to do the same thing?

Tyranny is that which is illegal for the people, but legal for the government

Let me word this correctly... for internets...

If I needed one of these things I would just make one.

I don’t give a rat’s ass about silencers, let the gun huggers shoot each other quietly, but the reciprocity bullshit is nuts, major metro areas already have a problem with the Iron Pipeline and now these idiots want to make that legal and above board? Turn those gun regulating Blue States who have less gun violence into more Mississippi and Alabamas?

There's a very solid reason why reciprocity makes sense. Allowing a state, or municipality, to create any gun law they want to creates a patchwork of geographical nightmares for compliance. In todays society where a person might have to drive across several counties and municipalities every single day for making a living and providing for a family and could put themselves at risk of prison every day unless they stay home. On top of that, major metropolitan areas are meccas for gang violence where law abiding citizens are not allowed to protect themselves from criminals who are not obeying those gun laws. That is completely opposite of what Heller states the 2nd Amendment is for.

But all rights can be regulated, in fact, are regulated, most have always been regulated, at some point, common sense shouldn’t prevail

The UK does not have a gun violence crisis, in fact, what they do have is minuscule compared to the US’s

And forget the exaggerated abstractions, freedom is not a bumper sticker, rights are based upon reason, not desire

So you want to ditch States Rights?

There is a patchwork on umpteen laws nationwide, but when it comes to something as deadly as guns, States should have the right to regulate weapons as their citizens decide not what makes it convenient for travelers. And NYC is one of the safest destinations in the US, the last thing it needs is some Rittenhouse thinking he’s going to clean up Hunts Point

And the idiotic Heller decisions, which is right up there with Citizen United and immunity, specified to defense in your home, not traveling across State lines
