lol nice try to twist my words...i said rights for all, full stop. i said guns dont belong in malls and schools.Except people in school and in malls. You said so yourself.
No they aren't. You just don't like THOSE rights.
Self defense tools and rights have always been opposed by Democrats and most lefties in the modern west.
Oh I know, they don't have anywhere near the democratic juice to even make any real attempt.
But that doesn't mean they don't DESPERATELY want to in any and every possibly way they can.
Nor does it stop their active attempts on several fronts to squeeze every possible bit of it they can through scouts.
1) we can't find an alternative for petroleum...the entire 1st world runs on it. Modern medicine, plastic everything, etc. etc. either we keep doing those things or we go back to pre-industrialization. 1700's living!! So working with oil has to continue to some extent.
2) We have an alternative energy method that's available now, makes sense and would dramatically reduce carbon emissions as well .....nuclear. But Dem interests are solar/wind because that's where they get to suck up tons of money for bullshit that doesn't work. Water is out because they don't own that and can't control the oceans like they can land.
3)Even if we the USA somehow MICIRCLED itself to zero carbon emissions by some divine magics.....India and China alone are still doing most of the polluting. Until they get on bord...castrating ourselves to "save the planet" is really just short sighted, self destructive, virtue signaling.
as for self defense...its been proiven time and time again that regular citizens who have been in a situation where they need to defend themselves with deadly force, such as in a movie theater/school/mall/dance club/whatever overwhelmingly do not hit their intended target and/or do not react in time.
i have less issue with a person defending their home, than i do with someone carrying an assault rifle or some sort of automatic weapon in a school.
pretty "funny" that we have school shootings all the time...like every week practically...and the right just keep saying "thoughts and prayers"...whereas just about every other first world nation does not have this issue.
so does america just have all the world's idiots? or do we have laws and rules that maybe need some adjustment? dont you want to keep little 2nd graders safe???
yes, we CURRENTLY are dependent on petroleum. hence I said a move toward alternate fuel sources. not a cold turkey stop. anything we can do, can help in many ways.
and yes india and china are massively to blame, completely agree. wow, we agree on something!
