Who gets to decide who is qualified? Gun ownership in the US is a right, not a privilege. Making sure you're trained and know what you're doing is your own responsibility as a gun owner. Guns should be treated with seriousness without the state telling you to.
"The government can still kill you if they really want to" isn't the own you think it is.
Guns don't have to stop nukes, but an armed population is enough of a threat to prevent Trump's admin from trying to roll over the country by force so they use propaganda instead.
Hegseth dodges questions about the US's involvement in the school bombing in Iran and denies the attack was deliberate.
At best, it was gross incompetence due to outdated information. As of right now, it looks like a war crime.
So you see, gun violence is only bad when it's not the state doing it, if it's government sponsored gun violence then it's entirely fine and should be applauded.
@warren.senate.gov What do you mean by military-grade bullet
$50 says Trump is gonna try to cancel elections using the Iran war he just started because he talked to Zelensky and learned the Ukrainian constitution says you can suspend elections during wartime.
The US constitution has no such statute but I don't think that's gonna stop Trump from trying.
Yeah no shit, that's what I said.
I'm not arguing that breaking the law the best option. I'm arguing that you're out of touch.
Joe is an average guy. Joe doesn't have the connections to join a racing team or afford to rent a private track. Joe doesn't want to turn racing into a job.
I said that changing the law is the best option. You're saying that Joe should take the option you don't list and buy a performance car and start a professional racing team.
You really can't comprehend the idea that someone might want to do something but not as a job. Not everything has to be an "opportunity."
We agree that the law is unconstitutional. I'm saying that the thing to do is change the law. You're saying to start a business.
Because the typical 18 year old has neither the business experience nor the nuclear education to run a reactor company.
I don't know how things work on whatever planet you're from but here on Earth teens who want to run a nuclear reactor company usually seek higher education first.
Lick the boot harder, maybe it will offer you an internship.
Yea sure an 18 year old Cali kid can start a nuclear reactor company. Do you hear yourself?
You know people are allowed to enjoy 3D printing as a hobby without making a business out of it right?
Dude believes we should do the right thing in the eyes of the law, unless it's a kid's hobby he can invest in and make money off of in which case we should send the kid to STEM programs. Also the kid's gotta pay $1750 in licensing fees.
"Ghost guns" includes regular firearms with the serial numbers defaced, the term is not exclusive to homemade or 3D printed guns. Using a printed frame as the cover photo is misinformation at best. Your source is questionable and proves no causation between ghost guns and suicide.
The data doesn't support a damn thing.
Looks like these are the same findings published by Giffords a bit ago.

A free country does not surveil its citizens.
ALPRs and other surveillance tools violate people's privacy and create databases that can and will be leaked or used for nefarious purposes like this case in Milwaukee.
These cameras do not belong on American streets.
We don't like the red boot, the red boot is awful and violates our rights. Now that we have a blue boot, we can celebrate because we all know for sure this boot won't be awful and violate our rights.
Don't laugh too much at the show or he'll block you lol

The 2A was never about hunting. It was about letting the civilian population act as armed deterrence to government overreach. If the gov't has ARs, so should the people.
My stance on Tim Walz is he's not trying to protect his citizens. He's not protecting them from gun crime or gov't overreach.
Someone probably let him shoot an M240B with terrible stance and then he confused it for an AR15.
Ok, and even though they're harder to get they still make up a majority of guns used in crime. Maybe this says something about how criminals don't care about how it's illegal to carry and use a stolen gun to commit crime? Nah, that can't be it.
What makes you think it'll be different for rifles?
If Walz honestly wanted to reduce mass shootings he'd target handguns, as they are used in significantly more mass shootings and gun homicides and result in more fatalities.
I'd like to see you fend off fascist militants at 200 yards with the sniper you keep talking about that I'm sure you own.
Ok I'm seeing you're from the UK, explains a lot. Clearly you're an expert on guns, thanks for your opinions. Obviously everyone should have a different gun for training, sport shooting, hunting, home defense, hunting a different animal, but nobody needs a gun with a detachable magazine. Understood.
Ok so you'd agree that a rifle is better than a shotgun for some tasks, right? And an AR is a rifle. And some people might want one multipurpose gun rather than a bunch of specialized ones, right?
You sound like a keyboard warrior who's never touched a gun and would cry if someone brought you to a range. And then strawman everyone who has a rifle with a detachable mag and no wood on it.
I go to the range to practice so I don't miss my shots, you brag you can't hit a thing at 50 yards.
Dude every modern army uses ARs to fight other armies armed with ARs because ARs are the most effective thing you can get to gain an upper hand in a gunfight.
The fact you think you need a sniper to hit anything at 200 yards is telling. You're a bad shot and have no clue what you're talking about.
Something from the way you talk about shooting makes me think you've either never been to the range or you are one of the confident people doing stupid shit.
