It’s up to you. The citizen, to protect yourself and your family. The government doesn’t care about you. In fact, they hate you.
I grew up playing cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians etc. We all had toy guns and we all pointed them at each other while playing.
I bought my first real gun in 2022 after taking several safety classes at my local range.
I have no kids of my own but I do have grandnephews who like to play the same cops and robbers/cowboys and Indians games that I did as a kid. They have their own toy guns.
So now I find myself trying to wrap my mind around the concept of teaching them not to point even a toy gun at someone -- basically making the whole game pointless.
Any thoughts/advice?
I'm a 22 year old in UT I recently got stabbed In Salt Lake City after a man whom I'd never met walked up to me and told me that white people should be taken from the earth. He stabbed my chest, my ribs and my shoulder.
I'm alive obviously lol But am fearful to leave without protection. I've been recovering and paying medical bills for the past couple months and haven't been able to work much. I'm very short on cash and really want a firearm to defend myself.
All tips, ideas and advice are appreciated! Thank you! Share
There are historical instances where mass casualties occurred after governments confiscated or severely restricted civilian access to firearms. These incidents often occurred in the context of authoritarian regimes, where disarmament of the population preceded or coincided with acts of mass violence. Some notable examples include:
Ottoman Empire (Armenian Genocide, 1915-1917):
Soviet Union (Stalin's Purges, 1929-1953):
Nazi Germany (Holocaust, 1933-1945):
Cambodia (Khmer Rouge, 1975-1979):
Rwanda (Rwandan Genocide, 1994):
It's important to note that the correlation between gun confiscation and mass casualties is complex and often tied to broader political and social factors, including authoritarianism, ethnic tensions, and state-led persecution. Disarmament in these contexts was a tool used by regimes to consolidate power and eliminate opposition, leading to tragic outcomes.
It can be legislation for states or the federal level. Basically, policies/legislation that would advance a gun rights agenda.
I thought this was common sense but of course not. This is Reddit, where stupidity thrives. Let’s get the strongest counter arguments out of the way. He banned bump stocks.
Quote from Trump after a 2018 ma$$ $hooting:
“Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early. Like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida, he had a lot of firearms – they saw everything – to go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you’re saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second.”
But he never actually passed red flag laws. Meanwhile Kamala is saying she will pass an assault weapons ban, red flag laws, universal background checks, and mandatory gun buybacks. Did Trump say that? Nope
Also, JD Vance is pro 2a. Tim Walz is a fudd
The decision, that the cops are not responsible for her death is in violation of 2A in my opinion. If you get shot for defending your life with a gun, you dont have the right to defend yourself with a gun.
“A Missouri law declaring some federal gun regulations “invalid” is unconstitutional because it violates the U.S. Constitution’s supremacy clause, a federal appeals court in St. Louis unanimously ruled on Monday.”
“Among the law’s provisions is a $50,000 fine for law enforcement agencies that“infringe” on Missourians’ Second Amendment rights. Some of the gun regulations deemed invalid by the law include imposing certain taxes on firearms, requiring gun owners to register their weapons and laws prohibiting “law-abiding” residents from possessing or transferring their guns.”
“The U.S. Department of Justice filed the lawsuit challenging the law arguing it has undermined federal drug and weapons investigations. Late last year, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a request by Attorney General Andrew Bailey to allow Missouri to enforce the Second Amendment Preservation Act while its appeal is ongoing. In a statement through his spokeswoman, Bailey said he is reviewing the decision. He added: ‘I will always fight for Missourians’ Second Amendment rights.’”
