What will you do about gun violence?

Joe Answers....Well I was in Pittsburgh today ..about infrastructure....good well paying jobs....

He was answering sequentially , essentially he was expecting an infrastructure question.So he went ahead and answered wrongly and totally out of topic.

Joe Biden needs help

The second amendment was promulgated when the most deadly weapon at the hands of the US Army were the Gatling I and Gatling II machine gun and the Hale rocket launcher. Compare that with today's General Purpose Machine Gun GPMG or the Apache attack helicopter, and we are not even talking about B-52s yet. Can militias acquire GPMG or Apache helicopters?
Gatling guns are still in use today. The A-10 close air support plane frame is built on a humongous gatling gun. The AC-130 attack plane also has a gatling gun.

What was your point?

basilico you see what I am saying grin the turd is arguing with himself. According to him because they can't have tanks and f-16 jets they should not have AR-15 or weapons. The only positive thing about this turds is that they can't go beyond the stupid of PrideofLincoln1

You are an unmitigated stupid. Are US civilian citizens supposed to have access to anti aircraft weaponry or what is dumbo on about?
Wot was we saying? I just explained why CIA armed insurgents .Cold war. Ive edited my initial post.

LordReed:
The CIA did not simply supply the Taliban with Semi automatic rifles or automatic rifles. They gave them Stinger Missiles for instance. Which US civilian has access to Stinger missiles?

You remain a simplistic dumbass.
You are such a dumb ass. It was the cold war.Reagan won the cold war " Tear down that wall" he said to Mikhail Gorbachev. And since you are ignorant West Berlin was an enclave in East Germany surrounded by Commies. Supplies to that enclave were via air drops. The East Germans surrounded the Berlin enclave with a wall.Surrounding West Berlin was the East Germany ( the guys who sent doped up athletees to Olympics).
Russia invaded Afghanistan in 1979. They were propping up a Commie govt. The Talibans fought back.
At the same time Russia commies controlled Eastern Europe and was actively seeking to overun Western Europe to impose your commie loving socialist ideals world wide.
Reagan authorized stinger missiles to the taliban then sending many russians home in body bags.
At the same time Reagan ratcheted up the SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) space war outspending the Russians which caused Gorbachev to declare Glasnost and eventually allowed breakaway of Russia vassal states.
Yes Russians are brutal Reagan had CIA supply Taliban with anti aircraft stinger missiles.
An enemy of my enemy is my friend. The CIA supplied the Taliban with killer anti aircraft missiles.

Then the Taliban took over in early nineties but their idea of governance was different from what everyone expected them to be a democratic society.
And Osama bin Laden was fighting the Russians in Afghanistan ,after they left he turned against america. This happened when Bush and Cheney stationed American troops in Saudi Arabia soil.
The rest is history

that is the definition of the national guard Yes or no

Not those imbeciles with rifles.
Founding fathers realized that gov tyranny can be stopped by armed citizens. I gave the reason why the A bomb was used. Millions of Japanese were ready to die to kill any invading army on their soil. Kamikaze pilots were already giving up their lives to kill the enemy who happened to be US forces on their soil.
Send 100k armed guys into a foreign land and we have Hirohito kamikaze populace ready to die to kill just one. A million guys willing to stab stealthily with a toothpick to an unsuspecting armed foreign soldier outnumbered by 100k to 1.
Solution. Drop the A-bomb.

Same case here. Send an army to confiscate arms . 2m commie guns vs 300m guns in a territory as wide as the size of the brains between your ears.

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 9:30am On Mar 25, 2021
Kokobilo87:
Assault rifle is semantics. Dude get a clue. A sword is an assault weapon too.

Honest question: an AR-15 and a Gluck pistol which is more deadly?

My answer, AR-15 Carries 30 rounds, it is not automatic and can fire at most 30 rounds in 30 seconds. It is not easily concealed.

A Gluck pistol carries 17 rounds and can fire at most 17 rounds in 17 seconds. This is where things get interesting. You can fire two glucks at the same time, x2 the rounds now exceeding the AR-15. It can be easily concealed meaning, you can pull another 2 glucks instead of reloading and continue firing in less Than 4 seconds. If you play video games or have any military training you will understand why they advice to use the secondary weapon instead of reloading the primary weapon. It takes less time. One person can carry at least 10 Gluck pistols on him without being noticed. Ar-15 even if you conceal it well you can't carry more Than 3 and you cannot conceal all.
The narrative is ban AR-15. Twist everything to justify outright ban on semi auto rifles.
Lefties, give them an inch they will take a mile.
Once they ban semi auto rifles , they will then go for handguns. It will take them some time they are playing a long game.
And with useful idiots parroting ban assault You bet they will eventually go for all guns at the end

Just to add Trump was against bumper stocks which turns a semi auto to full auto. The nonsense about assault weapons from Trump was about the bumper stocks.

But media will lie.

Where did I say guns should be seized? I support universal background checks and ban on assault weapons just like your hero Trump once did.
Semi automatic rifles have been used in 6 of the 10 deadliest mass shootings
Okay they have been used . How many casualties in those shootings?

Compare that to the casualties in a typical month in Chicago from handguns

Where did Trump support assault weapons ban. Trump is always talking about 2nd amendment. Media was always on a hit piece over Trump, gleefully showing Don Jnr killing a lion etc. When its time to canvass for votes politicians speak from both sides of the mouth.
Like Obama "If you like your doctor....."

Kokobilo87:
Did you use reasoning to type this nonsense? Has anyone ever said they have the right to defend themselves from a lawful person or government?

Taliban stand against the US army. At least they have weapons making the US think twice on how they move about. That is the point.

The f-15 and the f-22 raptors are not a means to win a battle alone. They don't make an army walk freely.
The idiot does not know why the atomic bomb was used. Had US invaded Japan every citizen was fired up, ready to kill any soldier using any means. Casualties would have been humongous.

Same case with America. With 300m guns and a trillion bullets in the hands of civilians no foreign army would dare to invade a united people. With a rifle behind every blade of grass. And the rifle holders know how to shoot

Google the meaning of regulated.
Sometimes I wonder whether some people just troll or make sadistic comments just because they have nothing else to say.


The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

A terrorist will inflict more damage with a gun than an axe.
You are trying to indirectly say an axe causes as much damage as an AR 15 and I don't know what to think of that.
How many lives need to be lost.How many mass shootings happen in a year compared to those gang fights. Rifles kill only 3% . Handguns 97%.

You want to go after rifles.

edi287:
An axe is more dangerous than AR 15?? You no longer trust the police to protect you because you want to carry assault weapons around?
A terrorist planning to kill does not need an automatic rifle.

2 days now and you still don't see the scam

Ban gans totally and thete are still more deadlier choices of . mass murder.Ask those Tsarnaev brothers who bombed Boston marathon.
Then there shall be laws to regulate sale of fertilizer ie ammonium nitrate?

Boulder had an assault weapons ban which was overturned by a judge. Few days after that, the dude bought an assault weapon...why are you leaving that out?
Its the assault eespon that killed? Had he carried a pickaxe or a knife and killed only 3 people Would it be different.
He could only murder people with a assault weapon?

Who is saying anything about giving up their guns?? Common sense gun laws is what is needed. A gun is not a damn toy anyone can get because you're talking about your second amendment right.
What do we have the police for?? I thought the police are the most blameless people in the world?? You're worried about being able to defend yourself against criminals yet you don't want laws that make sure those criminals DON'T have access to guns easily?
Coloroda has Universal Background checks. Did that stop that iSIS sympathiser from murdering 10 people. Left ia demonising assault rifles as a way to control gun ownership for a start. This killer was on FBI radar as has been pointed out, FBI is being used by democrats to crack down on gum control. If there was ever a civil war how would a militia (as defined by the constitution) prevent govt tyranny army armed with automatic rifles while the militia is only armed with handguns , tomahawks or bayonets.

The death from assault rifles is only 3% , the need to prevent a well armed milotia fighting back against these commies is the real reason they seek to ban semiautomatic rifles.

Its about disarming any possible threat should there ever be any.

The Sunday Hook shooter was also on the radar, He was not supposed to be in the school. FBI knew about him and ahoukd have visited him at least once to determine his mental status.

Suspects FBI knew but did nothing in bold below


reminder…. 50 FBI agents were enlisted within the Trump-Russia investigation to push a narrative. 13 FBI agents were dispatched to Talladega speedway to investigate a garage pull-down rope and push a narrative. Thousands of FBI hours have been spent investigating the January 6th Washington DC protest… and once again another terrorist carries out a mass shooting where the FBI knew the suspect in advance.

The FBI knew in advance the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance the Garland, Texas, shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi). The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan); and now the FBI knew in advance of Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa.



Let's vet everything...the border, military, police, gun sales etc.
A gun is not a toy. It requires responsibility to be a gun owner. In no sane world should getting a gun be easier than voting.

So we shouldn't know who and who is carrying assault weapons because "muh second amendment"? Interesting...
Why not enact voter ID requirements also?
Gngs will never register , if you live in a crime infested area, ayiu are basically defenceless if you say are ineligible to own a gun.

Yes they are. They've been against universal background checks till Trump supported it and a few hopped on the bandwagon.
Background checks are done for licenced gun dealers only
Universal background checks require a sort of gun registry that includes records of when your grandpa gifts you a gun. Only lefties would support that

Mumu man, which gun do you have in Umudike? Never seen such a confused Umudike man crying more than the bereaved.

Yes, the aim is to ban all guns so America can become a sane society like most other Western Nations that don't carry guns. That includes handguns, but automatics will be a great start. Automatics are usually the ones used in mass shootings and school shootings so a good place to start.
Rifles account for 3% of gun related deaths and almost 0% in suicides.
Ban rifles.Not handguns.

Liberal logic.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 2:47am On Mar 24, 2021
The left obsession with banning semiautomatic rifles is at best disingenuous. A certain claim was made that rifles only account for 3% of deaths. The other 97 % being from handguns. , a leftie fact checker https://www.bettergov.org/news/fact-check-are-handguns-used-to-commit-nearly-all-murders/ found that handguns account for about 82%. A very high figure still. The fact checker issue was to discredit the 97% figure, I believe it's somewhere in the 90s.

Why not go for handguns that kill say 95% .Milk a crisis when a mass shooter uses a rifle, ignore the other 97% killed by handguns.

It's a matter of disarming the population. Take the rifles away , then they come for handguns. The left wants to rule forever without any challenge.

Kinda reminds me of all commie states. Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba.

Narrative today is right wing supremacists (read gun owners ) who will not give up without a fight. The jihadist crashed the white supremacists gun tottng terrorist narrative as being the worst threat.

Dems are commies.
