Fluke a Snooker is a moron. How do I count the ways?
" Unlike Nazi's (I won't bother with the redundant "Republican" or "conservative" anymore and just use Nazi as the singular noun)...."
Ok, this ignorant, bigoted, small- minded view is behind at least 90% of the political/ protest- related violence that we've seen over the last couple weeks. He/ she and those like him/ her sling around the term "Nazi" even more recklessly than Joseph McCarthy and those like him slung around the term "Communist" in the height of the Red Scare. Perhaps an even more apt comparison would be to the way the people in colonial Salem slung around the term "Witch." Never mind what each of those groups actually believe and what tenets they follow, and never mind the complete absence of swastikas or iron crosses or anything; If they disagree with the extreme Left in any way, they are officially designated a "Nazi." This, then, fuels the rage of the Antifa types, causing them to feel any kind of violence against those who disagree with them is justified because, "They're, like, Nazis and stuff, and everyone knows Nazis are bad, maaaaaan!" It's been exemplified by the likes of psycho teacher/ BAMN leader Yvette Falarca (May she be charged with, convicted of, and given the maximum sentence for each of the many offenses she's charged with) hypocritically referring to all who disagree with her as "Nazis" and "Fascists," even as she herself engages in the incredibly fascistic tactic of attempting to use violence to silence all who disagree with her.
"Back to banning the guns: If only federal law enforcement personnel were the only ones authorized guns, then we would have a far safer country. Just look at Australia when they banned guns."
This brainless argument again?
Alright, DUmmy, here are a few relevant points to understand (And, to start, let me point out that I am not a gun owner, so I have no dog in this fight):
1. Strict gun laws here have been proven to not do a damn thing to stop gun violence. The reason for this is that multiple studies have conclusively proven that the overwhelming majority of gun- related crimes are committed using guns that were already illegally owned to begin with (i.e. Guns that were stolen, or obtained through some kind of illicit trade). See, violent criminals don't care about breaking laws against robbery, assault, murder, etc., so I can guarantee they sure as hell don't care about breaking laws against illegal gun ownership. To shoot down (No pun intended) your "Australia" argument, I'll simply bring up Chicago: Even though it has some of the harshest gun laws in the country, making legal civilian gun ownership there nearly impossible, their murder rate is among the highest in the country, with over 90% of those murders committed using guns.
2. Going along with point #1, nearly all of the major mass shootings in America in the last several years (i.e. Sandy Hook, the Aurora movie theater, the Pulse nightclub, etc.) were committed in areas that were designated as "Gun- Free Zones." According to liberal "logic", that fact should have prevented the shooters from being able to enter those buildings, and yet all it did was enable those shooters to realize those were areas where they could start shooting and not have to worry about anyone returning fire at them. Again, criminals with murder on their minds don't care about breaking a couple gun laws.
3. In contrast to these, let's take a look at the nation of Switzerland: Gun ownership in that country is so widespread it's practically mandatory. In fact, during the days of WWII, the widespread civilian gun ownership rate in Switzerland was a big part of the reason why Hitler cancelled plans to try and invade that country. Yet, in spite of how prevalent guns are there, Switzerland has almost no gun violence or gun- related crimes at all!
" I personally would like to see a minimum 20 year sentence for owning a gun."
Ah, a desire to completely abolish people's Constitutional rights and go full- tyrant. The sign of a true liberal.
" People say that confiscating the guns would be difficult, but if we put as much effort in arresting resistant gun owners as we do in arresting and profiling black motorists and pedestrians, we could have every gun confiscated within a couple of years. Once that happens, no more problems."
That, too, would be in violation of people's rights to privacy, protection from unlawful searches, and so on. Liberals truly are dangerous people, and in the Obama administration they came so close to achieving their despotic dreams.
