“Are you sure that even if the inanimate objects are banned, they will not become violent?”
Reflecting on that picture of the 12 (or 14?) year old Scottish girl brandishing an ax and a knife, and that she has been (really or supposedly?) put in jail, rather than the (presumed) scuzz bag taunting her, it seems the more violent and animated objects are the police or other “adults” who are failing to protect their underage children.
[Given the scams on the internet, there is a small part of me that wonders if that video clip was not a staged event???]

” … we never hear these people demand that governments be disarmed.”
When we hear defenses of the 2nd Amendment, many times they address the natural right of self protection (or that of others in direct peril); but it seems to me too seldom is the right of revolution and government change mentioned explicitly. For me, an image I retain to support my view is that of the armed Chekists coming up the back stairs of a Moscow tenement to take away a known or suspected dissident. The presumption is that would be more easily resisted if/when said dissident and all of his neighbors can shoot back. Why isn’t this or a similar image invoked more frequently in support of the 2nd Amendment?
What is the adage? The government should fear the people; the people should not fear their government!

The Lefty proposals and goals are never about whatever the pretext is. The don’t want gun control to stop shootings, they want the public disarmed.

Remember when you’re dealing with the hard-core Lefties that they hate you. Don’t hate them back. That feeds the beast and taints you. But never forget that you’re dealing with someone who hates you and everything you love.

Which also means that engaging with this stuff as if it was a reasoned debate is futile. The Democrats spouting this crap fall into two categories:

1. Sincere Leftists seething with rage and hate, and
2. Politicians who know we’re just a few months from primaries and want to keep their base in line.

Either way there’s nothing to engage with. Does Schumer believe the stuff he’s saying? Probably not, the man is many things but none of them are stupid. But you can’t rebut him in debate because the truth is irrelevant to the politics.

Even though governments with guns were responsible for almost all of the ‘gun violence’ and the millions of deaths in the 20th Century, we never hear these people demand that governments be disarmed.
Why is that?

“we can stop gun violence”
Guns are inanimate objects. I have no idea how inanimate objects become violent but liberals do and want to prevent this from happening by bans. Are you sure that even if the inanimate objects are banned, they will not become violent?

They do more than just celebrate child murder; they facilitate it.

Short version: it is illegal in Minnesota, and other states, to counsel children who think they are transgender into accepting their biological sex, and treating the underlying mental illnesses.

@neo: …the goal was one of the left’s favorites: to use the murders to advance gun control.

Sadly true. During the Obama administration I once had an online discussion with some New Agey leftists who were all horrified by the idea of arming guards and schoolteachers to protect the children.

Guns are the problem. Guns can’t be the answer!

Why not, I asked. I just want to see all American children protected as well as Obama’s children at their fancy prep school.

I don’t think most conservatives, including most people here, understand just how much the left hates them.

I doubt it. In any event you don’t speak for this ex-leftist.

TJ… and quite frankly… Australia is knee deep in illegal guns. Howard’s ill-advised government-gun thievery just disarmed the law abiding.

I think we have real clear that we know they hate us, why they not Putin are the real enemy as the Labour Party was at the end of the Cold War

Yes they are dissatisfied they wallow in disaster in misery in filth whats new about that

In a reasonable transparent system thsre wouldnt be a problem but the judges seem to be mucking it up

The aclu seems to challenging the texas redistricting with their designated judge we shall see how that goes
