    What other right can simply be denied to adults?

    The right to life and liberty, by any gun owner, at any moment, for any reason.

      What the hell are you talking about? Murder is illegal. What world do you live in where that isn’t the case?

        Murder is illegal, but the supreme court has said that it’s okay to sell murder weapons to people who are obviously going to commit murder.

        Because the right-wing nutjobs hate background checks, and red flag laws and anything else that slows down the constant murder.

          it’s okay to sell murder weapons to people who are obviously going to commit murder

          Planning to murder someone is not only illegal but also a felony, which bars gun ownership. If we have evidence someone is going to commit murder, arrest, charge, and convict them.

                Should we allow overweight, insecure men with a long history of red flags to buy hand grenades, land mines and machine guns?

                Some people with NRA induced brain damage will of course say yes but the reality is that we’ve already decided that there are weapon that are too dangerous to indiscriminately hand out.

                And what do you know? We’re able to keep them out of the hands of domestic terrorists just fine.

                  Ethically? If they haven’t be convicted in a court of law, yes, we should. Otherwise you’re denying them due process. Also, red flag laws make getting help effectively illegal.

                    Thanks, that’s everything we need to know to disregard your dumb as fuck opinions.

                    1. Yes it does matter because they have other beneficial uses that outweigh the harm they cause.

                    2. what else? Compensating for insecurity? Building an entire personality around them?

          Don’t waste your time with GOP/Nazi members. They are a death cult. Killing others is what they love more than anything in this world.

            You’re in for a rude awakening if you believe that only GOP and Nazis own guns. There’s a reason Reddit has a liberal gun owners sub. Lefties just tend to be less vocal about it.
