It’s a time issue. I don’t have much to spend Everyone here already has their answers. The answers from others will not change the minds of those they are talking to. A fruitless conversation.

You don’t know how to use google yourself? start with the psychological motivation of the group:

A Marxist terrorist group

At the time- the entire world was cool with slavery. You have to judge people by the standards of their time- not yours.

I’ve read up a great deal about antifa. They are a useful tool to the Democrats in the US- which is why the majority of their Twitter accounts were shut down the day after Biden’s inauguration. Gun dealers are showing a massive number of first time gun buyers- it’s not the same old group of...

It comes from the Puritans’ influence after they left England. Moms were angry at the video game Grand Theft Auto because you hire prostitutes, not because you are a criminal, etc.

No, but the authors of the 2nd Amendment believed that it was in government’s nature to degrade into tyranny, and this was why absolutist language was used in the 2nd Amendment.

Kids used to bring guns to school for competition shooting. The guns didn’t change- the culture did. And, by law, an 18 year old is not a kid.

Gun control support is at a serious low point in the US right now, as a result of the push to “defund the police”. Semi automatic weapons are the single most popular class of firearm in the USA. Calling them (wrongly) “assault rifles” has not changed this. (An assault rifle, by definition, must...

Interesting- when car crashes were #1, it turns out, texting and driving was responsible. Did anyone campaign for phones to disable texting functions when at driving speeds? No. The sensors in the phone would do it- no additional equipment is needed, but no one cared to pass a law to stop...

The differences I cited were cultural, not religious. semi automatic weapons are for government control. Not pests. The USA was founded for the 99%, we do not wish to live our lives under the regulations that the 1% require.

“Well regulated” at the time of writing, meant “functioning well” “Militia” means all citizens of fighting age. How do I know what was intended by someone in 1789? It’s called The Federalist Papers. The notes taken by the authors, outlining their intent. Why has it not been updated? For the...

Laws are an extension of culture. What a culture finds acceptable, it does not ban. What it finds intolerable, it bans, and provides harsh punishments. People from outside the USA constantly talk about how they “don’t understand American attitudes towards guns.” True, and you never will. I don’t...

Before 1968- you could buy a gun through the mail, or cash and carry at any hardware store in the USA. There were no shootings in schools. Guns were easier to get, then. It's not the guns- it's the culture. Children are not taught right from wrong. They are taught to feel- not think. They...
