Funny that it is mostly bible quoting christian extremists that are pro-guns. They claim to be pro life and claim to uphold the bible and the constitution, how far removed from reality...
Guns are invented, optimized and sold for the single purpose of killing. The sixth commandment says 'Thou shall not kill'. So why the fuck would you collect tools that only have one single purpose if you claim to uphold the word of god?
Pro life? fuck you if you own weapons that are designed for mass killing.
When the founding fathers wrote and signed the constitution, it was intended to be interpreted in the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law. The second amendment was written to allow citizens of good standing to form a well organized militia so that the USA did not require a large standing army with all its associated cost (They would turn over in their urns if they knew about the current spending on 'defense'). Weapons for mass killing also did not exist at the time of introduction. 2a was never intended to give every nut job unlimited access to guns and ammo, hell, the founding fathers did not even consider it important enough to include it in the constitution. It had to be added to it years later.
Speaking of the founding fathers, they were also of the opinion that if you are not a white male that is also a land owner, you are supposed to stay out of politics and don't even think about voting. In this day and age, half of the founding fathers' opinions would not have been taken serious on anything because they are considered 'to young to have any life experience', heck, the youngest one was barely old enough to be allowed to drink a beer.
If gun control is so bad, why are we not allowed to own, drive and operate our own Abraham tanks? or have anti aircraft guns in our back yard? or dirty bombs in our basement? Why not, most of them will be in de hands of 'good guys', so there should be no danger there!
Presidents cannot change the constitution or any of its amendments. In order to make changes, the following steps need to be taken:
- Amendment needs to be proposed,
- Both the house and the senate need to approve with a 2/3 majority,
- When passed by both houses, at least 38 of the 50 states need to ratify the amendment.
There will not be a single proposal that will pass through any of those steps due to the extreme polarization in the current political climate. The president has absolutely zero influence on this entire process, but every time a democratic president is elected, the gun lobbyists are predicting hell and doom and tell everybody to grab this very last chance to stock up on guns and ammo before it is too late. The gullible RWNJ lose their shit every single time and spend all the money they can possibly find on getting more guns and ammo. All the while, the gun manufacturers are laughing all the way to their stock broker for stock buy backs.
The USA does not have a left wing (politically speaking). The most 'radical left' politicians in the USA are the likes of Bernie Sanders and AOC. They would be considered centralists in the rest of the modern world. They are fighting for some basic rights that every single other modern nation on earth has already had for many decades (speaking of freedom, you Americans that have not traveled/worked/lived abroad have absolutely no clue what freedom actually is!!). All they are suggesting is to make it less easy to buy guns as an impulse.
I'm a liberal, I own guns myself, as does pretty much any other liberal in Alaska. I hunt for food and live in the area with the highest bear density in the world. Some years ago I picked up a .44 Smith and Wesson for when I go on hikes with the family (bears are on my property on a daily basis when not hibernating), it was at a garage sale without any paperwork what so f'ing ever. OK, it only holds 5 bullets at most, so hardly suitable for mass shootings, but it is the thought that counts. In the local store I can also buy as much ammo as my heart desires without them even knowing who I am or how old I am. I also have a 6.5x55mm hunting rifle that is 20 years older than myself which I use to get black tails in the freezer. If I have to jump through some hoops of paperwork and back ground checks and showing of ID to be able to own those guns and be able to buy ammo, I would gladly do that to make the world a safer place for the kids in our schools. When I immigrated to the USA, I had to wait 10 months before I could get medical insurance or a drivers license, but I was allowed to buy a gun with ammo and a concealed carrying permit right away. I get asked for my ID almost every single time when ordering a beer in a restaurant (I'm 41!), but I can buy 10 cases of rifle ammo without anybody betting an eyelid. Truly fucked up priorities in this country.
