Pope Francis is lamenting that the use of guns by civilians to defend themselves is becoming a “habit.”

One of the most heavily protected men in the world, protected by guns, wants everyone else to disarm.

      Do you think that expanding gun use is a good thing, and if so, why?

      Do you think that curbing gun violence by enforcing gun regulations is a bad thing, and why?

      Do you think that the Pope is calling for the disarmament of everyone, and why did the OP insist that he is through strawmanning the story?

          Self-defense from what? How many do you need for “self-defense”? Did you not see the word “expand”?

          For the record, I am pro-gun but it’s for self-defense against conservatives who are clearly hell-bent on destroying freedom and America by any means necessary.

        Not expanding, just restoring our inalienable rights.

          You can buy a gun, so there isn’t anything to restore.

          But they were never taken from you and never will be.

          EDIT: unless radical right fascists keep going on killing sprees, in which case yes, your “rights” WILL be removed…and which, btw, aren’t at all “inalienable”.
