I am a socially awkward young asperger's man. Should I forfiet my right to bear arms?
Seriously because that is what some sound like they are saying. For clarification I do not own a gun nor do I have that much interest in owning one. I just think this demonization of those of of us who are socially weird or awkward isn't right. I am one of the sweetest most understanding people you'll probably have the pleasure of meeting despite the fact that I am generally quiet if I do not know you too well. That doesn't mean I am plotting anything or that I am going to go shoot up innocent people at a school or mall, I am not a psychopath I do have emotions even if I don't express them too outwardly due to being a introvert.

1. Everyone should forfeit their right to bear arms. it is an antiquated concept that is destroying
America.
Speaking as a socially awkward not so young aspergers man myself.

3. I knew that was coming from someone.
Speaking only for myself, I won't voluntarily give up any of my rights.
Do as I say. Not as I do.

6. Well, neither did the slaveowners.
We had to fight a war to take away their right to own slaves.
We might end up fighting a war to take away the right to own guns.
With what...10 inch dildos? Good luck.

10. Slave owners had no right to own slaves and they only did so by abrogating the rights of others.
Thus, summing up democrats perfectly.

19. Guns aren't a right, guns are merely a thing; self-defense is a right.
Guns are a means for affecting that right just as voting is a means for affecting one's conscience within a community.
As I noted in my previous statement, slave owners can only exert their "right" at the expense of others, namely the right to freedom of conscience -- and the right to self-defense.
2A doesn't say a "right to self defense," and it doesn't say "a right to keep and bare arms." It says a right to KEEP, and BEAR ARMS!" Any dumb, stupid, high on heroin idiot can comprehend what that means. You must be beyond that.
I almost pity you.

75. Why should people who have no evil intentions be forced to render themselves defenseless?

76. Because there are more accidental fatal shootings than justifiable fatal shootings.
Uh...what?!

80. There are also accidental woundings in an addition to accidental fatalities. As for incidents where
the gun is brandished defensively without being fired:
There are no falsifiable studies in this matter.
As for rights, life is an enumerated right in the constitution, see the 14th and 8th amendments. So your 2nd amendment is in conflict with another enumerated right. In any case, I will work tirelessly until the 2nd is repealed.
This idiot would willfully strip the constitution of this, and that all while leaving the parts it wanted for sure just to ensure that it could never be harmed, or maligned for any of it's transgressions.
Don't work thayt way, asshat. Oh, and if you knew how to count, "2" comes before "14" or "8."

92. Guns are used for self-defense. Currently they are the best means of self-defense.
Just as voting is the best means for allowing people to express their consciences in social institutions.
To deny guns for self-defense tips the balance of power decisively to the physically strong. Those who are weaker or infirm are subject wholly to those who are more fit. "Sorry your stalker ex is kicking in the door and is about to stab you but its better this way because some guy somewhere might accidentally shoot someone else" is a sad statement for a society to make.
Hmmmm. I might decide to take a liking to this DUmp monkie.
