    That’s why we need to be giving guns to dogs, so they can also protect themselves from the ex-cops. 2a folk trying to arm everything all the time (teachers, good guys, etc) like it’s going to cure death

      You seem to be imagining things about people you don’t know based on prejudice. Kinda like holding up a strawman to pretend to fight.

      I support all of Americans’ Constitutional rights 100% but that doesn’t equate to actively trying to put guns in people’s hands. There’s clearly a place for regulation of the right, and we have that in place currently with age limits and background checks required for all retail gun purchases. Gun safety courses are required for a hunter to get a hunting license. So we have gun control already and I’m OK with that.

      I’m not OK with any further restrictions on our Constitutional Rights, and I believe that more rights should be added rather than any infringements of the ones we already have. For example there should be a right to Privacy and Bodily Autonomy added to the US Constitution. We should also add some form of a right to access basic healthcare, without forcing any doctors to work without pay or in undue hardship.

        Yeah you’re right, the conservative 2a folks and NRA talking points never went on about arming teachers to stop school shootings and never claimed that armed good guys with guns were the key to solving random mass shootings. /s

        I made a bad joke about a dog, I’m not sure why the fuck you are talking about constitutional rights and background checks. Lmao speaking of straw man arguments you’ve got a whole fucking script laid out and it isn’t even relevant to the original shitty comment I made.

        You seem to be desperate to be a victim of “prejudice.”

          Whatever, keep on assuming all that stuff about people you don’t know anything about. I’m pretty content with my own situation regardless of anyone’s opinion.

            I don’t have to assume, they make it known how fucking dumb they are on a regular basis (aka, every time there’s a school shooting)

            https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5993415/ - even national institute of health knows about this one

            https://abcnews.go.com/US/breaking-nra-backed-theory-good-guy-gun-stops/story?id=53360480

            "That idea of armed guards, or armed teachers, as a solution to gun violence often seems to come up in the wake of mass shootings, echoing National Rifle Association chief Wayne LaPierre’s long-touted notion that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.”

            LaPierre famously made those remark after the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012 that killed 20 children and six school staff, and reiterated it in February after the shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school that left 17 dead"

            Don’t trip over your big ol’ clown shoes there, friend.

              That stuff about school shootings has nothing to do with me. I do have some long feet but I wear regular types of shoes in large sizes rather than ones made for clowns.

                I’ll make sure to specify in all of my future comments that are not addressed to you that they are not addressed to you. Will that help you to understand how anonymous social media works?
