It's staggering they keep pushing against the only natural rights that's been codified with "shall not be infringed".

Seems pretty clear that all laws limiting anything that is considered a weapon would be unconstitutional.

And before all the BS arguments flow in:

Automatic weapons existed when the constitution was written.

Cannon are still legally owned.

At the time the Constitution writing, entire ships with rows of cannon were in private possession.

Do you really think the framers were stupid and couldn't forsee the development of greater and greater weapons? Why else would they write it this way, considering they'd just been attacked by their own King.

If you disagree with any Thin I've said, I can only think you haven't read enough of the history of the time, to understand they didn't see themselves as rebels (that's a label we've applied), but as loyal subjects of the crown and were being treated like second-class citizens.

It’s staggering they keep pushing against the only natural rights that’s been codified with “shall not be infringed”.

What is the number one cause of death for U.S. children right now? It's gun deaths.

The U.S. has a gun problem. That's why there is pushback. We need gun control because the current situation is not working, and is leading to unnecessary deaths.

Didn't you get corrected multiple times at this point? I feel like you've had repeated conversations, and you somehow always forget them the next day. It's not just guns either, it's a lot of things.

Didn’t you get corrected multiple times at this poin

"Corrected"

You guys don't seem to understand that gun deaths are still deaths whether suicide or homicide. It's bad either way.

I feel like you’ve had repeated conversations, and you somehow always forget them the next day

If you think the gun debate is too repetitive, feel free to instead post something interesting.

And you don't seem to understand that there's no valid reason based in facts to care specifically about "gun deaths", no matter how many times you're corrected. Don't let facts get in the way of your feelings pal

no valid reason based in facts to care

The same goes for any kind of deaths when you put it like that. Unlike you, I care when people die.
