I realize there’s another post of this already, but this is a longer video with a better view.

Edit: Changed the post so it no longer points to Youtube. Thanks u/Canconda! Original link was https://youtu.be/K9CJY5p0xz4

    Also, even armed. You’re outgunned. You start shooting, you’re dead. You go down with a quick video scroll and no Congressional action. Is that worth your life?

    This is essentially what every non-American has been trying to tell Americans for at least the last two decades but apparently all the school shootings have still been worth it

        Yeah, I’m being an asshole, but after dealing with Americans online telling me and others repeatedly that we’re less free because we don’t fetishise guns for years I don’t care

            No I don’t know if they’re bots or not, but is it wrong for me to think that a significant portion of 2A supporters defend the concept saying they need it to defend from a theoretical tyranical government? It’s always seemed ridiculous to me when you consider the amount of money the US government dumps into arms and the military

            now is the time to use those 2A rights if you’re going to

              I don’t know what crack-addled things they think and I don’t care.

              How dare you mock school shootings and promote further gun violence.

              You disgust me.

                I honestly have no idea how you are getting that from what I said. I was was basically agreeing with the OP and was arguing against gun violence.

                My point was that the 2A has never meant anything when pit against a tyrannical US government and the suffering caused by the amount of freely accessible guns is just plain stupid.

                Edit: Not to mention the fact that those guns land up in Canada and Mexico as well causing most of OUR gun violence
