Do criminals wear t-shirts with criminals on them where you live? Because they don't around here. Before we know they´re criminals, they're just citizens with guns.
Besides, the majority of people who die by a gun in the U.S. are shot by themselves or a family member.
It just seems America is unique to this high display of violence among the developed countries. Guns seem to be why.
I'm thinking it would be a good idea to admit defeat, and just scrap the 2A. Otherwise, I fear we will be Brazil by 2030.
That way, cops can carry batons, and stun guns. Citizens can be arrested for having a gun, incase they're a criminal, because only the criminals will have them. It will be a lot easier for the police to tell a criminal from a guy just thinking he's protecting his house from one.
Again, your leftist utopian rant is irrelevant .. and makes no sense in light of reality in the here and now.
You don't like the object called a "gun".
Okay, you don't like guns. That's fine.
Some people like guns .. but, that' not really relevant either.
It doesn't matter whether you like guns or don't like guns. What matters is that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says we citizens, provided we use them non-criminally, have a right to bear such arms.
And what matters is that criminals often carry and use guns to commit unjustified homicides, often murder 1.
So police need guns to protect themselves and uphold the law, obviously.
What's more, private citizens also need guns to protect themselves .. and hopefully they will store them correctly, keep them away from kids, and use them non-criminally .. but, regardless, they have every Second Amendment right to have those guns .. and, judging by all the nut-case BLM cultists threatening to blow America up, they definitely need them for the race war BLM has been fanning for months now.
So just keep in mind that there are millions and millions of guns out there in the hands of Americans, criminals, police, and law-abiding citizens, that you will
never be able to ever confiscate.
And only a head-in-the-clouds ideologue out of touch with reality would recommend de-gunning the police without first de-gunning the criminals.
That you can't tell one criminal from another because they don't wear t-shirts saying I am a criminal is further justification for keeping the police armed with guns so that they're prepared to at least battle evenly against unidentified criminals who suddenly pull a gun on them.
