These are Questions directed at our Hitler Youth Wannabee's.
Like Little FascistFly *aka FireFly* Robbie, Bashy, Adam , Nepy and the Rest.

I already know what kind of SPIN you will put on your answers but I will take the Fun to ask these Questions ANYWAY!

Until your side takes full power and freedom in every way is abolished that is.

But to the QUESTION!

If we are to take you Narrative on Reality ,and that in the U.S. President Trump and The Whole of the Republican Party and Conservative People are all Fascists, and that the ENTIREITY of the U.S Police Forces are ALL MURDERERS and RACSIT and the Military Forces are just their Brainwashed Lap Dogs.

Would under such a regime be a Bad Time to take Guns out of the Hands of the General Public?


And let the SPIN BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!

If you really think that every single teacher and college lecturer in the entire USA is an evil leftist SJW that are indoctrinating the country's youth to be genderless terrorist loving queers do you really think its a good idea to train them all to be Universal Soldier style unstoppable killing machines and arm them with state of the art laser death rays and biological weapons that only target straight white protestant men who support the 2nd amendment?

dadudemon
I was arguing the "uprising of the people actually works" with my former boss. He's more like Robtard (a true centrist) and I.

I pointed out that the Afghans fought against the Russians and now the Americans with guerrilla tactics and limited weaponry. He pointed out that we armed them against the Russians and they are still using RPGs against our military which is why they are so effective. He further argued that it is not possible for the American people to fight against the US Military. That the Second Amendment become obsolete around WWI when we modernized warfare and experienced our first true entrenchment warfare with:

1. Tanks.
2. Long-range mortars.
3. Airplanes.
4. High-capacity, high-firing rate, mounted machine guns, intended for long-term engagement.
5. Chemical weapons.
6. True Naval Dreadnought class warships (fully armored warships with long-range weaponry and machine guns).
7. True submarine warfare armed with torpedoes.
8. Flamethrowers.


Some may criticize my use of long-range mortars as not really being introduced in WWI. I disagree. Not only the volume that the mortars were used but the firing distance vastly eclipsed previous mortar tech we had used in wars.




We also should not ignore the fact that information and communication is much more advanced, now. The Second Amendment, the specific intention to be able to overthrew the government, is still viable. Especially consider that not all military would be on board to kill the American people. If a true civil war happened and the people wanted to violently overthrow an oppressive government, with how well armed, how much tech is available, and how advanced communications are, the government does not stand a chance. They will not use nukes. Some military would be part of the coup if not most of them. The overthrow would happen fairly quickly.

It just depend son the specific situation. If it was a small segment of the population that had an uprising, it would be squashed very quickly. If it was a significant plurality or a significant minority, likely, the overthrow would be successful if the attack was coordinated and timed well enough: almost all government could be killed in less than a day.


The government is aware of this. And they have planned for it.

Emperordmb
Yes real people are being hurt by guns, but it's not unreasonable to be hesitant to pass legislation restricting the liberty and property rights of the entire US population.

It's not just a matter of you can stop people from being killed without having to sacrifice anything of value to do so. It's a matter of to pursue some of these policies you would explicitly necessarily have to restrict the liberty and property rights of every American citizen (and in the case of say a proposed ban on semi-automatic rifles you'd actually have to take people's property by force or threat of force), and that isn't an insignificant cost. Beyond that point there's also the uncertainty of potential other costs that result from the legislation, such as the hypothetical of a tyrannical government, or even on the smaller scale of what if certain people have a harder time getting weapons and then confront genuine threats to their lives they are unequipped to deal with. And furthermore the intended benefit of the legislation isn't even a given, it could be passed with the cost of everyone's liberty to the effect of minimal impact on gun homicides.

I don't think it's irrational or paranoid to approach the subject of what we should get our government to restrict from us with serious hesitancy.

It IS a practical concern. Think about the rights we've already had stripped from us by things like the Patriot Act. Giving up our ability to effectively fight back in a worst case scenario is a horrible idea because once we do that we're screwed if/when the impending threat of a true tyrant presents itself.

Emperordmb
Admittedly I haven't given this one much thought, though I honestly don't think it'd be much of a deterrent. Logically finding away around that seems like something that would be a pretty easy thing to do.


"Enhance" is a vague term, it depends on what enhancements you have in mind. Also I don't disagree with universality of background checks, but at the same time it seems virtually impossible to regulate hand to hand transactions in any seriously effective way.


Again that's a vague sound good statement with not a lot of substance as to what specifics it's actually proposing.


Yeah I definitely don't agree with that one. I think it partially defeats the purpose of accessible self-defense if you're going to institute something that would significantly bump up the cost of owning a fire-arm. I don't think it's reasonable to charge someone a monthly insurance fee for a rifle they keep in their house and only use in the situation that someone tries to break into their house, or that someone whose poor enough that they're stuck living in a high crime rate area would have to dedicate that much of their income to paying insurance monthly, as opposed to making a one time purchase that will help them secure their safety in their own neighborhood.


I can understand gun owner's apprehension to expanded government intelligence on their gun ownership when you have politicians and political activists calling for the government to restrict and confiscate certain type of guns. To someone seriously concerned with protecting their property, I can see why they wouldn't want to consent to something that would make it easier for the government to disarm them if they chose to do so.

I'm not totally unsympathetic to these concerns: but are you seriously suggesting that a decentralized militia could stand any chance against the 700 billion dollar US military on home soil? Barring an army mutiny, I just can't see that happening. The technology and weapons that the US army are too much , and I'm speaking just in regards to the weapons that we know about. You know: drones, tanks, stealth bombers etc... There are probably many weapons that the US army has that we don't even know about, and would be able to nip an uprising in the bud.

And if you don't want a tyrannical government, it might be prudent to stop voting for authoritarian demagogues who erode the foundations of American democracy. I mean, isn't it funny that many of the neurotic right-wingers who raise these tyrannical government concerns are more than happy to line up and vote for a man who is bombastically authoritarian and constantly attacks the institutions and norms of the American political system?

But this glamorized view of a few desperate stragglers fighting off a much more formidable force is typically the exception rather than the rule, in my opinion. And in modern times, we are seeing all manner of new modes of warfare that go beyond the indiscriminate carpet bombing employed in Vietnam. There is also a difference between home-grown forces on the other side of the world fighting off an invading force and fighting the US military on home soil, where it can bring its full might to bear nigh-instantaneously.

They can't bring their "full might to bear nigh-instantaneously" if they can't find the guerrillas.

You're right. Let's go ahead and just recoup those costs for billions of dollars in lost equipment and supplies that were destroyed by Iraqis and Afghans because you think they don't stand a chance.

Oh, and those thousands of American lives lost against the warfare you think doesn't stand a chance against the US MIS, they will get undone. Revived from the dead. Because you don't believe they stand a chance.

Thanks a $4.79 trillion for clearing that up. I would say "thanks a billion" but that's not accurate.


Whew, glad you cleared that up for all of us ignorant folk.

Whew, glad you cleared that up for all of us ignorant folk. If you're trying to make some sort of coherent counter-point here, it's lost on me. I explicitly stated 'home soil', because I realize that guerillas in far flung places have given pause to the US military. I just find the idea of a spontaneous uprising on home soil, which the US military could strike against instantly with maximum force, to have extremely steep odds of succeeding or even taking root in any significant way. Barring an army mutiny, of course, or something so spontaneous and vast that the army couldn't nip it in the bud before it spreads.

But of course, this entire conversation is mounted on an extremely unlikely premise from the get-go: that is, that a tyrant could subvert the military, the intelligence agencies and the dozens of government bureaucracies and make an attempt to establish a dictatorship without being thwarted at some point. Don't get me wrong, I think it's the responsibility of citizens to be aware and conscious of such possibilities, but they shouldn't dominate our conversations.

Emperordmb
And I don't think a kneejerk reaction to sacrifice liberty for security whenever a tragedy happens should dominate our conversations either. I don't think the conversation is unwarranted, and I recognize some sacrifices have to be made, but it should be understandable why some people are hesitant to jump on board as eagerly as those who disagree with them are willing to.

Now that you have used a wonderful cliff note ultra liberal talking point you need to expand on HOW our foundations of democracy have eroded........because so far that just isn't true and the fact the even an authoritarian president isn't a king we still have the legislative branch and judicial branch to keep him check and last that I have seen they have done just that.

No, you seem to understand the point, just fine as you later reveal. And others understood it just fine, too.

I think you just want to be disagreeable because it's me.

Well, according to the facts, yeah, knives are 5x more dangerous than all rifles.

Remember, the US has a violence problem, not a gun problem. You can misrepresent data to say whatever you want buddy, but ultimately you know what you're saying is dishonest. Would you rather be attacked by a baseball bat or an AK-47? There's your answer

Fucck this. The legislative branch doesn't hold Trump's regime accountable for anything, they need him to stay in power.

This government has obstructed investigations on a dubious election, it has attacked and silenced the free press, it has infringed on the civil rights of minority groups, it has stolen a seat on the Supreme Court and it is shamelessly in the pocket of corrupt corporations like NRA and Oil.

What I would rather be attacked by is irrelevant. What is relevant is where the numbers are. If more people are dying from knives than rifles, at a rate of 5 times, and you (not me) want to try and prevent some of this homicides, where do you think we should be spending our efforts to more effectively reduce those homicides based on your logic?


Make fact based decisions, not emotion based. Stick to the facts.



I think tackling the weapons is the wrong move so going to either one is not correct. I think we need to solve the reasons behind the violence instead of going after the tools people use to commit violent acts. What about you?

How has it silenced the press?

The owners can have them all say pretty much whatever they want. Corporate affiliates, shareholders, and management do more to silence the press then any politician could..

Knives are also responsible for more deaths than nuclear weapons, so are knives more dangerous than nukes too? That aggregate statistic does not indicate danger. We regulate who has access to nuclear weapons because they're incredible dangerous, even though more people are killed by cars and knives. It's called being proactive.

But isn't attacking the motives behind gun violence pro active?

It doesn't look like he's arguing against regulation in an absolute sense.

Personally, I see the need for regulation, too. But I also don't want to leave someone at the mercies of gangs, crooks, or whoever. I want to curtail random violence and see to the needs of vulnerable people in dangerous areas and such. Ron Goldman would be alive if he had a gun against OJ.. (Yes, we have police. Courts have ruled they are under no obligation to protect us, because they simply can't protect everyone.)

Yep. Typical Leftist hypocrisy when it comes to Valuing Life.

If a farmer in the middle of nowhere is getting robbed, he can't rely on the police who are 30 minutes away and needs self-defense. Sure. No one is saying take away all guns, we're saying take away the ones that are far too powerful.

Any gun that gives one guy the power to slaughter dozens and dozens of human beings in a matter of seconds, should not be so easily available.

What about in Large Cities where Police Response times can be JUST as Long if not even Longer? Knives have an Unlimited Killing Potential because they don't have to be reloaded.

Why No March against Knife Use?

And you still won't be able to prevent Parklands if you get what you want.

As I have said before. Virginia Tech. 2 pistols. 33 dead.

The shootings were not all at once, it was spread out. There were moments where he did a ton of damage in a short amount of time though. Killed a teacher and then 9 other students in the span of a few seconds at one point.

If Republicans AT LEAST put forward more funding for mental health it would seem like they care, but they're not even doing that. In fact they made cuts to mental health...

What incredibly moronic logic.

Really? We're talking about homicides as a crime and you bring up nuclear weapons?

Let me know if you'd like to talk about war instead of crime. If you want to get fancy, we could talk about warcrimes and really mess with people's minds.

Come back to this discussion with an actual argument. Leave military stuff out of it.



Do you want to stop violence or do you want to wank off to shitty arguments that your libtarded pals pat you on the back about?


If you want to have a legit discussion instead of stupid wankery, probably best to keep it legit. If your counter argument to solving violence is to use nuclear weapons as a rebuttal to knives, you'll get no where.




Address what I said. Do you want to actually stop the violence or do you just care about gun crime and gun crime only (which means you don't care about stopping violence, you care about shifting the violence away from a concept because you think it feels good)?

Um, we're talking about weapons and their potential for damage.

And the only reason nuclear weapons are not used in crimes is because they're HEAVILY regulated and VERY inaccessible to the average person. If a psycho terrorist got their hands on a nuke they could commit a much worse crime than if they got their hands on a knife. Similarly, if a psycho terrorist gets their hands on AK-47s, they can commit a much worse crime than if they got a knife.

Your use of aggregate data is misleading and misrepresenting

No we are not. We are talking about violent crime rates, homicides, and what to do about them. You think rifles are serious business. I pointed out the facts that knives are more serious. Your rebuttal was nukes. thumb up

It's not my data. It's the facts. You don't like it, though. You don't like the uncomfortable idea that you need to address violence with another avenue other than "restrict, regulate, and ban guns." Restricting, regulating, and banning guns is not the answer almost every time.


Take a step back from the conversation. Go back to the question I asked you.


Do you want to stop only gun violence or do you want to stop the reasons for causes the violence?

^ Mass shootings and general violence have different causes and solutions. It's completely possible to reduce violence but still be vulnerable to mass shootings, and it's possible to eliminate mass shootings but still be plagued by violence.

And if you're only going to ignore my point and repeat your same thing over again then don't bother, there's better things to do in life than that

You didn't answer my question, at all. You presented 0 solutions in your reply.


Try again, pretty please?


Please, no more dancing, dodging, etc.? Can you just stop with that stuff? Try to have a conversation with me.
