>Why conservatives love to argue that progressive social change will be futile
>The futility thesis, then, is just rhetoric. There’s no empirical basis for it, no actual reason to believe that gun-control laws have no impact on the level of gun violence. In that sense, it’s not so much an argument as it is a way of deflecting the issue, a way to feign concern about the problem instead of saying, “Look, this is the price we pay for allowing civilians to own AR-15s and other similar weapons.” And, in the end, if you’re a politician opposed to tougher gun laws, it’s easier to sleep at night if you tell yourself that nothing can prevent things like what happened in Uvalde. surowiecki.medium.com/tougher-gun-laws-wont-make-a-difference-is-a-convenient-lie-b0bfb35787e5
The AR-15 shoots one round at a time. It’s illegal to own an automatic weapon in the United States.

Most of the congressmen that voted for the 1994 bill were unseated in the following election. Politicians only care about keeping their seats so they won’t vote for a harsh ban again.

>uhhh no you see I need to be able to kill anyone at anytime because…. JUST BECAUSE
Britbong, Lets say there is a gun confistaction law passed in the USA, Who is going to enforce it, the police that wont engage active shooters, of the military that couldn't pacify Afghanistan in 20 years?
No they shouldnt lmao. I should be able to uzi up any glownigger LEGALLY and without consequence.

DONT give them up, enjoy your drone strike as a treasonous enemy of the people. Your neighbours will help too if you do not give them up. It worked in Australia and it will work in the US too.
John Allen
Look at chicago they have the toughest gunlaws and have huge crime problems.
The real deflection is avoiding the issue of niggers
Angel Diaz
Easily debunked.
Illinois has the strictest gun laws in the nation, yet Chicago and East St Louis lead in firearm murder rate.

The reason conservatives love to argue about it is because of 50+ years of lobbying efforts from the NRA and others that have filled their heads with bullet point responses, forcing them to only care about one single issue above all others. Because at the end of the day, their guns will stop tyranny. Despite the fact that they live under a tyrannical federal government that’s taken most of their other liberties away. But at least they will have those guns to defend them against any tyrants who try to take away their guns. Shall not be in…… cringe. I like the 2A and all but gun nuts are fucking retards

>Automatic weapons should be illegal. That’s just your opinion.

>How? Federal Assault Weapons Ban literally started in 1994. That bill passing gave the Republicans congress because the Dems overplayed their hand. That ban then expired and nothing was passed to replace it because it didn’t do shit and nobody wanted it to begin with. Then the weapon it was meant to ban, the AR-15 became the most popular rifle in America. In 2008 SCOTUS not only made the 2a apply to the feds but also the states with the Heller and McDonald cases. This summer the Court is expected to rule in favor of 2a rights this summer.
Any effort to enact stricter gun laws is DOA or will be shot down by the court.
It actually can get alot worse. Look at Putin and Yanukovich. That's obviously the line in the sand. The line that forces you to say ok this is the level of tyranny we must sacrifice our lives to stop. You must have forgot Heros never die and the people that brought old break action shotguns to euromaidan circa 2014.
Institute a no-singles policy for gun ownership. To legally buy a gun, you must be accompanied by a member of the opposite sex who signs an affidavit that they are your (sole) romantic partner and you are having regular bedroom relations.
Alexander King
What if I just don't care? The amount of bad that will happen if they are banned far outweighs the bad that are happened because they are not

>It’s illegal to own an automatic weapon in the United States
Not completely, you just need ATF paperwork done. Same with silencers. but yeah, otherwise they are illegal.
Liam Clark
Yeah you need a female reference to buy a prostitute to pass their screening process. You might as well have one for a gun purchase. I like the way you think.
I don’t see why you’d need one but I don’t really care. I’d love to own a Glock 19
Jack Rivera
Lol
Cooper Sanders
Good luck convincing the average retard of this. I hope if the commies take over the roasties and simps will get machine gunned into road side ditches like the CCP did.
