I like this. It goes along with If democrats don't like current abortion laws, they should move to democrat controlled states that allow it.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

Background checks & waiting periods are not infringement, under any legal definition.

there is nothing wrong with the Constitution. It is written very well. The problem is the people themselves.

It was written by effete landed gentry, not elite lawyers...and it shows.
It pushed incompatible former colonies into a single nation making horrific compromise to do so.
It gives rural conservatives wildly excessive political power relative to their percentage of the population.
It's a real rag of a document.

People treat it like it came from Mount Sinai, and I doubt if ANYTHING actually came from Mount Sinai.

the founders disagree. you're wrong, so are the courts.

you have been given a woefully inadequate and incorrect view of the Constitution.

The Founders disagreed with background checks? The did background checks back in the 18th Century?

Let me ask you a question there “smart guy,” if you are such a strict reader of the Constitution, taking what is says verbatim, why can’t bullets be controlled, if not banned outright, bullets aren’t mentioned anywhere in the Constitution?

Funny. Good question.

I do see Chicago as a problem. TOO MANY GUNS IN CHILDREN'S HANDS!

NOW HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? YOU TELL ME WISE GUY!

gang members are "children"?.......how do they have guns?.....the gangs hand them guns.....

They are all weapons that are obtained or sold illegally- through LOOPHOLES IN THE SYSTEM!

The Democrats are trying to close the loopholes and the Republicans are trying to create even more!

Chicago is a democrat run city. Obviously what they are trying to do or have done is not working. Has nothing to do with Republicans.

Biden is one hundred percent correct, why? Why is America stuck in the 19th Century when it comes to guns

"Here is a list of the 27 school shootings that have taken place this year"
https://thehill.com/changing-americ...ol-shootings-that-have-taken-place-this-year/

The Texas massacre of Fourth Graders yesterday marked the 213th mass shooting in the U.S. since the start of 2022. We had 27 school shootings and 213 mass shootings and it is not even June yet

The answer is obvious, cause a vocal minority in this country have swallowed all the masqueraded propaganda put out by the gun manufactures and we are burdened with gutless politicians whose only interest is in getting reelected

Because Republicans care more about selfies with their big guns than they do about the health and safety of American's children.

 

[LurchAddams]

deal with criminals.....you don't need to take guns away from the millions of people who don't break the law........

Just the military weapons. Australia and New Zealand got then of their streets. So will we.

 

[LurchAddams]

So the kid yesterday was a criminal right up until he pulled the trigger? Stephen Paddock was a criminal before he opened fire? Majority of those mass shooters were people who didn't break the law right up to the second they opened fire

Right wing nuts only answer, is "more guns".

 

[LurchAddams]

you're right.....put everyone in jail until they can prove they aren't a criminal......how many unsolved murders are there in Chicago?........

Just get the guns. No military weapons on the street, no mass shootings of this magnitude any longer.

 

[LurchAddams]

So now you want to put every American in jail? That is even bizarre for you "pp"

Nope. Just take away their assault rifles.

 

[LurchAddams]

Ain't happening in the United States, the gun manufacturers would never allow it, consequently, the gun huggers wouldn't buy it

The gun lobby won't be able to stop it, once we unseat the Republicans this fall. The Republicans give the NRA and the gun lobby the cover they need to keep being evil.

 

[LurchAddams]

and that pesky Constitution

Find the section in the constitution that talks about arming civilians with weapons that can kill 21 innocent people in an hour.

The Constitution is over.
