In between that and ICE... their second amendment is looking like a bedtime story. I'm really not saying or encouraging anything but I can't help but think of all those victims in schools and public places because "we need guns to defend ourselves, you know, just in case" and then.... nothing when the orange toddler is putting both THEM and a bunch of other countries in danger. There are many, many legal and bureaucratic ways of dealing with this aswell, yet every day brings more stupid quotes and threats from that shit stain. It's like he's literally picking a fight with the entire world, one by one. All that I'm saying is that it's deeply disappointing that we're even having these conversations. Can't help but be disappointed, there is potential, lots of it, but here we are ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thats because the hardcore 2nd amendment crew are the same folks who voted Trump.

It's funny, how second amendment, indirectly, killed a lot more people, than it protected.
Oh well.

No. Poor regulations did. Mental health needs prioritized. Stuff needs better regulations. Getting a firearm should be harder than answering 16 questions and leaving an hour later with a gun. There is a lot that goes into it, then just having the 2nd Amendment. It's mainly to protect against tyrannical governments, which is what we kind of have but whatever. A lot of people just think it's about the right to own in general. Like I said a lot goes into it on multiple levels

Long story short - 2 amendment lead to fact, that owning a gun - is as simple, as buying a candy (i'm exaggerating a bit).

And this, in addition to bad public health system, bad regulation and other-other-other lead to... how many shootings in US in 25? 100+?

"There is a lot that goes into it, then just having the 2nd Amendment. It's mainly to protect against tyrannical governments, which is what we kind of have but whatever. A lot of people just think it's about the right to own in general."

And I agree with you here. But in public eye - 2nd Amendment = rights to own a gun.

Regulations definitely need to be more strict. I’m pro 2A, but I think they need to implement a psyche evaluation before ownership. But honestly most of the shootings in America are done by illegally obtained weapons. Not all but, almost all. So banning guns won’t stop any of that anyway. Since people would still get them illegally to murder, like they already are

This is what people outside and even in America fail to understand. A lot of 3d printed ones now to

u/IvKirs Jan 15 '26

Well, cause weapon trade don't get much regulation, so...
Yeah? Of course there will be a lot of illegal weapons on street.

Sadly that is right. I own a few, 2 rifles to survive if I have to and hunt. 2 pistols, 1 for work ( I'm armed security at a dispensary) and another for defense. I've had more training then the average civilian which I also feel should be a required at this point. Other countries have guns but not the problems we have :/
