Dude, read the article - this isn't regulation, it's a ban.
Holy shit I've been arguing with someone that claims to be able to build bombs but can't manage to determine the content of an article that's been paraphrased for them. If you're basing whether or not guns should be regulated using yourself as a baseline, then god damnit – you got me, I have to agree with you.
Banning some guns is part of regulation, unless you don't understand how regulation works.
My 'wut' is about you fundamentally misunderstanding how regulation works. I'm not allowed to drive a semi because I don't have a class A license. Just like I shouldn't own an AR-15 to control the local deer population.
Oh, I didn't realize there was a license you could apply for that would give you the right to use assault weapons!
Please, produce it for me so I can get started. I will wait.
Edit: 😂😂 I don't understand how bans work when you've conjured up a nonexistent license. Incredible. Wait wait wait, don't tell me - it's up to the govt you've deemed too inept to handle the licensing?
Keep talking past the point all you want, i guess. Doesn't make anything you say more correct.
And you're virtually indistinguishable from a fascist, so who cares what your point is?
Edit: also no, I did address your point. You seem to believe competent regulatory procedures will be developed by an incompetent govt, and fully support their seizure of firearms. Ding ding ding, fascism.
Fascism does sometimes include siezing of guns. But it's not a required component. The talking point about guns saving us from Fascism is a sales pitch from the 50s and 60s. Guns don't save anyone from Fascism. It does drive sales up though.
Every fascist dictatorship seizes guns. This is not a 'some do, some don't' situation. They all do.
I also find it very amusing how hard you've argued against guns, without ever acknowledging that education and mental health are the real problems that need solutions. You sure were quick to downplay everything else I said, but you didn't touch that one.
People like you are transparent. I'm done here, fuck you and the people that agree with you.
Gun people have sanitized history to support improved sales in the past. Its completely accepted these days that removing guns from a population under fascism is required.
Expanding the argument doesn't disagree with my point, easy access to guns is stupid. Never disagreed with mental health or education. Stupid people tend to imagine who they are arguing against, which is why you imagined i disagreed with you on those points.
Did you seriously just try to suggest that fascist governments seizing guns is sanitized history?
Debatelords are disgusting people. Refer back to my last comment.
I keep wondering when you will ask what i mean by easy access to guns. Dumb people always take several steps back into their beliefs before fighting back.
Yes. Fascists don't need to seize guns and have a complicated relationship with them. Nazi Germany is the easiest example. Gun ownership for true Germans and completely disallowed for 'the other'. It does vary though, which is part of the difficulty in defining fascism and identifying fascists.
I'd argue you are more of a debate lord. Telling me you won't respond, then making more false stupid statements.
Why would I ask that?
In order to purchase an AR-15 in Maryland you need to be 21 years of age and have an HQL. HQL requires firearms safety training and ends up taking about 30 days outside of that. After that, assuming I haven't missed anything, you need to go through another background check that takes about two weeks.
For a gun that needs to be broken apart to reload it.
You have claimed they should be banned. You do understand that every time you've called me dumb whilst these things have been simultaneously true counts as projection, right?
You do not understand what you're talking about, so I'll repeat myself with a little added bonus. Fuck fascists, fuck you, and fuck the people who agree with you.
Here's a little quote from Hitler, since you seem to love him so much. Let's see how you interpret words from the man himself.
