Uhm, saying all politicians are corrupt does not make one a SJW. it makes one normal . Now, saying ONE side is corrupt while praising the other side, THAT makes a SJW!

As far as canada....

Banning toy guns...a bit far, but not a bad idea. I go against the b annign of hand guns. Hand guns you have to reload and can only fire off so many shots. THAT gives everyone a chance to take the gunman down with fists or whatever you can find.

It's ASSULT Rifles and Auto/Semi Auto that need to be banned world wide. THOSE are the problem. IMHO

I've been in right leaning circles online that have called me a SJW because I don't agree with their views 100%. The left leaning folks do the same, just the opposite like calling me a MAGA QAnon loving Neo Nazi or whatever.

Yeeeeah, I...disagree.

Bans do nothing, bro. As much as politicians claim, they can't wave a magic wand and make all the bad stuff go away. It'll all exist, just underground, and harder for law abiding citizens to access (and be properly educated on usage too).

Look up 'Prohibition in the United States (Jan 17, 1920 – Dec 5, 1933)'. See just how well bans of this kind do. Spoiler alert: Not well. Hell, look up the War on Drugs. Did that make drugs go away? Nah, it just ruined lives, and made matters much worse in the grand scheme of things.

Banning weapons will only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals won't be affected because they couldn't give two sh!ts about obeying laws. This ban won't diminish crime nor is it about fighting crime.

My hope is that one day people will realize that none of these scumbags care about us. We're just tools and playthings to them.

Anyway, in other news:

A power grab if I ever saw one. Expect more of this in other countries too.

Again, the governments (in US and around the world) are using the pandemic as a jump off point to initiate agendas like this. If anyone doesn't think politicians would try this, think again. Crack open a history book. Throughout history, people have tried to gain as much power over their citizenry as possible. Just because it's 2022 doesn't mean corruption has been eradicated, and before anyone thinks the populace won't allow this...yeah.

well yeah, of course they want to ban citizens owning guns, how else are they supposed to usher in the new world order? if politicians are trying to take your guns away, it’s because they are planning to do something you would shoot them for. justin trudeau is one of the worst communist dictators out there today, comparable to fidel castro, but he has the “nice guy” persona to virtue signal all his woke supporters. this bastard is soros-owned just like the majority of those fake leftist puppets.

Ran as a conservative, former military & comes out as pro-red flag law (red flag laws violate the cotus). We need to go back to tar & feathers tyrants. As for Canada, they've been fvcked for years. None of these commie gun grabbers are going to give up their guns and armed security.

agreed. the only good commie is a dead one. all the communist dictators and upcoming tyrants pushing for nwo need to be hung up like the olden days. the world depends on it.

Sure, let's get Superman to gather every single last firearm on Earth up, and he can melt 'em for us.

Oh, wait.

that's the problem and why nothing happens to fix it. You'll have one side arguing that they are needed to help protect against...something.... even if that something never happens. and the other side says the opposite.

Endless cycle .....rinse, repeat.

No other country seems to have this issue that we have, though. somehow they made it work.

Remember when Hillary was testifying about Benghazi? Probably not. You were too busy watching the elementary school massacre in Connecticut.

Remember when Hillary got tattled on by Blumenthal for using illegal servers in the White House? Probably not. You were too busy watching the Charleston church shooting.

Remember that time Hillary's campaign lawyer went to trial for lying to the FBI about Trumps-Russian collusion? Probably not. You're too busy watching the Uvalde school shooting massacre.

Even if you do that, it won't make crazy people go away. You won't stop serial killers and mass murderers by taking guns away. You're only making other people defenseless.

Yep. In Mexico you just get roving cartels with machine guns gunning down families on the nightly if they're lucky, chopped up and dissolved in barrels for the camera if they're not. Yes, so terrible in the United States and such a unique problem to it.

Or maybe the reason 'nothing' happens is because there's armed citizens...

Regardless...

Other countries have other issues with violence. Mexico has drug cartels execute people in the streets, whether with guns or hangings or what-have-you. UK has more stabbings than the norm. Africa is destabilized with all sorts of violence happening, including rapes and murders. Let's not pretend the US is this violent, chaotic nation, and the rest of the world is perfect, and there's no suffering at all.

To add to this, the knowledge of how to create guns would still be retained even if they were all destroyed. All it takes is one guy making a new gun. You'd need to erase all knowledge of guns, and all materials that can be used to create them.

Oh, hey! I just mentioned this in my recent reply to this guy. Twinsies~

One guy is still better than ten incidents every few months.

And yeah.. mexico isn't nuts going against average citizens. mexico is a destabilized criminal environment running rampant.. a bit different IMHO.

How long do you think it would last? We'd be back to same problem eventually.

...Look up Ovidio Guzman Lopez, then tell me the average citizens aren't being affected...

I mean, at first if ask how you're typing this out while Biden is bending you over. But then I remember it's Biden. You either don't feel a thing or he's fallen asleep before you can finish typing out the second word.

Yeah, I know what you mean, and I'm sure you know what I mean too. Mexico is like Chicago at this point. Lots of violence every day no one cares about.

And Venezuela. And Ecuador. And Colombia.

Okay. So you see how bans and 'melting all the guns' aren't realistic solutions, right? And you also see how the US isn't the only country with problems with violence, right?

[Coola Yagami]

Not to mention Chicago cares more about installing gendered bathrooms than the actual rampant gangs problem.
