I agree. Don’t care who gets shot up. President, school kinds. Screw them all, no living person has more rights than my gun. Don’t care how many of you get killed. I can own a 100 guns, have a prescription for thorazene and beat the crap out of my wife- I get all the guns I want.

Absolutely YES. Police statistics in gun controlled countries like the UK and Germany show an explosion in knife crime, including mass knifings.

The Czech Republic learned its lesson after years of totalitarian rule, first by the Nazis and then by the communists. They know an armed citizenry is a deterrant to totalitarianism, so they passed first a very strong gun rights statute, and then an even stronger gun rights amendment to their Constitution which is stronger than our Second Amendment.

Fiercely independent Switzerland also maintains strong gun rights and has the world's second highest rate of civlian ownership of guns after the US. Switzerland even mandates that every able bodied male citizen keep a military rifle and ammo at home, ready to repel any invader.

I think I know why you on the far left want to get rid of guns. It all has to do with an old saying about socialism that "you can vote your way into socialism but not vote your way out of it. You have to shoot your way out of socialism."

So, if you Democrats do something like Hitler's 1938 Reich Gun Law and largely ban guns, a law still in effect in modern Germany. The result is mass stabbings and people driving vehicles into crowds. Nuts determined to kill will find a way to do it. The same is true in the guncontrolled UK where a migrant just did a mass stabbing in a party for little girls, killing three and sending nine to the hospital. If someone had a concealed carry gun handy, they could have shot the migrant before he stabbed all those little girls, but in the UK these days, if is not easy to have a gun handy for self defense.

I am sure that Germany's Jewish population wished they still had their guns when Hitler started rounding people up for the camps, but since you are a Hamas apologist, I doubt that would trouble you. Speaking of Hamas, Israel learned a valuable lesson about how gun control kills on October 7. Those people slaughered, raped, and tortured by Hamas should have had guns to fight back.

People have been able to buy guns and even cannons throughout our history. 18-year olds carry M16s in defense of our country. What is different today is the very shrill rhetoirc of the far left demonizing their opponents to the point that people think it is okay to shoot them. The right is NOT calling Kamala a cackliing Stalin in a skirt, but the far left and its media allies regularly call Trump "Hitler" and "an existential threat to democracy" even when it is the Biden-Harris Democrats who are the real threat to democracy. Weird Tim Walz even did so shortly AFTER the attempted assassination of President Trump.

Only conservatives and Republicans seem to get actual assassins put on their path by the over the top rhetoric of the far left, including Biden, Harris, and Walz. It was not only our presidential nominee, Donald Trump, but also a Supreme Court justice.

And going back a few years, who can forget the strange trail of bodies of people who were inconvenient to the Clintons? Or the Bernie Sanders supporter who tried to shoot up the House GOP softball team?

As far as children "listening" go read the post about Tim Walz and children.

So you lefties are still engaged in personal demonization that led to the assassination attempt? Tampon Tim Walz even did that immediately after the assassination attempt. And BTW, it is Kamala Harris who has an astounding 92% staff turnover because she bullies her staff.
