i agree. these kids standing up to hordes of liberal hashtag warriors proves there's still some hope.
Yes it’s fantastic that the next generation is totally OK with chipping away at a constitutional right like the right to bear arms. It’s when a right is something that you may not like is when we have to defend it the most because that is the great thing about the freedom in America. Today’s right to bear arms could be tomorrow’s free speech or something like oh I don’t know a right to privacy.
I noticed that our social justice warriors don’t like the transparent book bag rule. The reason, it’s an invasion of their right to privacy. I actually agree with them but it’s funny when we pick and choose the rights we support that the govt will eventually get to one that you won’t like either.

Let me ask you a question. If I phrased the first amendment as such
A free press, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to have free speech shall not be infringed.
Does that mean that only journalist have the right to free expression?
It’s a very simple question. If the first amendment was written as I have written it would you interpret it to mean that only journalist are entitled to free speech?
Here it is again
A free press, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to have free speech shall not be infringed.
Back when America was great, law makers realized machine guns were something that didn't need to be readily available to the public, and they were limited, and their purchase included extensive background checks. The year, 1934.
Today, a disturbed 18-year-old can go and buy something more lethal than that 1934 Tommy gun....and the NRA and its bought and paid for Congress doesn't see a need to change. Well, our children don't agree...and, because the NRAs position is so damned stupid, good for the kids.
If we strictly adhered to the 2nd amendment, we would own grenade lauchers and have access to an Abrams tank. Time for some common sense.

Are you serious? An AR 15 is not more dangerous than a tommy gun. A tommy gun can fire about 600 rounds/min. I don’t know if many people that can pull a trigger 10 times a second to equal that rate of fire
regarding the constitution AND free speech the constitution is very clear.
the problem arises when people (THE NRA) try to unilaterally change it by
leaving out key parts, specifically "A WELL REGULATED MILITIA".
neither is the wording of the constitution interchangeable as you are
attempting.

The Supreme Court has bitch slapped that argument time and time again.
No.. a bullet fired from a AR-15 is much more deadly that a 45 caliber round from a Thompson machine gun.
As a veteran whose qualified with the M16, there's a reason you're taught to fire in semi-automatic mode....it's more effective. In automatic mode, the gun isn't controllable. In fact, have heard speculation the Vegas shooter would have been more deadly if he wasn't using the bumb stock.
Really? Want to back that up? That 18 year old can go by an automatic machine gun? Really, want to tell me how?
That is simply not true. Frankly, you are either using a talking point or you are a liar.
So you want to outlaw a .223 varmit rifle as well? Or 308 rifle? You are basing it on power of the round?
Frankly, you are full of shit.

Good grief..are we really going to resort to insults and accusations? Guess, I could respond with:
"frankly, either your reading comprehension sucks, or you're a dumbass."
.....but that's not something you would say to the individual that coined the term "vaginification"...on of the greatest words in modern times..and one I've used on numerous occasions.
When did the AR-15 sold to the public become available in full automatic? That's the weapon of choice in recent school shootings...and the gun I was referencing.

I never said anything about "outlawing" the AR-15...or any of the guns you mentioned. I do believe there should be more controls on the sale of the AR-15.
Heres a good article about the round fired from an AR-15.

You’re entire argument is based on the fact that the .223 round is more dangerous than a .45. 600 rounds per minute is irrelevant according to you because full auto isn’t as accurate. The only conceivable solution in your scenario is to limit what caliber ammo can be bought
Today you want our guns. Tomorrow our free speech. What is next our freedom of religion?
All we are saying...is give peace a chance...
Everybody now...wave your hands over your head back and forth...

SCOTUS, like anyone that has ever interacted with you, says you don't know wtf you're talking about.
