Verbatim you live in a world where there’s always someone above you to take care of things

You would never last in a reality where the only person that looks out for you is yourself but that’s a reality that many people live everyday

You shouldn’t be talking about something you don’t understand or even have the mind to try and understand
says a person beneath me in every way
Compelling argument
it doesn't shock me how it flew over your head that i'm using your exact same argument

thank you for admitting that your logic is dogshit
Except you’re not

My argument is that many people can’t rely on someone to keep their world as safe and orderly as your’s is

Your’s is literally just ad hominem
"your argument is wrong because you live a safe life"

this is ad hominem too, you silly cunt

carry a knife around
LOL

This is way, way worse than legally conceal carrying a handgun. Holy shit lmao I'm disregarding everything you say about this issue in the future.
that because you are retard
hahahaha using a knife is one of the most brutal things in the world. You have to stab the shit out of your assailant. At least with a pistol he might run away or if you hit him in the stomach he might live, and least you were just legally standing your ground with a legal weapon you own. Not a kitchen knife you're carrying around for no reason fucking lol dude.
who's talking about kitchen knives

if you're in a situation where you're gonna be the big hero and shoot a shooter before he shoots up a theater, you should shoot to kill, you don't want him to live or run away

he forfeited his right to live the moment he pulled out a gun in public, and he should die

a knife isn't going to save you in that situation 99.99% of the time, sure, but who cares about how brutal it is? again, if you're killing a killer, that's a situation where i wouldn't mind if they suffered a little bit

sorry, i don't sympathize with people like that

FTFY

Asking me to do nothing when the very real fact that there are deranged people out there is just asinine. My life is more important to me than that of someone crazy who wants to harm me, and there's nothing wrong with choosing the option that's specifically designed to protect me best.
coward

What do you suggest I use instead?
nothing, because being that scared of shooters is some pussy shit

lock your doors, don't piss the wrong people off, know the quickest exit routes in every locale you frequent, carry a knife around, or even learn a martial art and work out if you feel like you have to

or, sacrifice your dignity and go through the process of getting yourself a gun through the process i described, because i haven't completely barred guns out of the equation in this scenario (it's just the most cowardly option)

How
because you don't need a gun for self-defense

i'm not fully opposed to people using guns for the sake of self-defense, but they have to prove themselves first, and that's going to involve extreme levels of background and mental health checks, as well as training, to make sure you're a responsible enough person to have the PRIVILEGE of using such a dangerous weapon

it's kinda fucking retarded to think any other way about this To Be Quite Perfectly Fucking Honest

It didn't answer my question.
yes it did

self-defense being a basic right is as far as i'm wiling to concede

going from self-defense to the right to bear arms is a huge leap

why don't we give people an inalienable right to drive cars? can you imagine why that would be

>YFW you realize I do have a right to a weapon and it's not a privilege
you have the legal right, based on the US constitution

legal rights are not basic human rights, which is what chakas was specifically asking about, and what my answer was referring to

Calling something "unconstitutional" means absolutely nothing.
In terms of what
In terms of when you're trying to argue that something is immoral, or shouldn't be done, based on its lack of constitutionality.

the implication being, the constitution is an infallible document written by god himself, which just isn't true at all

there's a lot of great stuff, but it isn't gospel truth and shouldn't be treated or looked upon as such

Rights are not something that can be amended. We are entitled by them by our own existence.
you see no danger or folly in allowing men who lived two and a half centuries ago tell you what your basic rights are
They did pretty well if you ask me. They didn't cover everything, but I'm glad what they did cover is law.
i agree, that's why amendment 2 is the only one i have a serious problem with

all in all, the constitution is pretty awesome, but i'm not gonna sit here and pretend it's the word of god or anything, especially when it needed to be fixed up 27 times over the course of 200 years
Cool, but I think if one of the amendments in the Bill Of Rights is taken away, it reflects that the government does not view them as rights anymore and believes they are privileges instead. I for one like the sound of "right to free speech" as opposed to "privilege of speech". The removal of one invalidates the rest
i don't really see the logic there

free speech (which i do believe is a basic human right) has nothing to do with the right to bear arms

just because they were written on the same bill doesn't mean they're inextricably intertwined, unless you could explain how
Bill of Rights. Not Bill of Privileges
bill of nine rights and one privilege

I feel regulation against certain firearms and features as a whole do little to nothing to limit criminals. At least not in this country. Background checks are cool. They make sense, but I believe the Constitution and Bill of Rights the most absolute law of the land and should not be violated.
the fact that the constitution has been amended so many times should suggest to you how fallible and subject to change it really is

I think banning a simple mechanical concept would be nigh impossible. Even regulating it is exceedingly difficult. You can actually easily manufacture a submachine gun, from materials you can buy at a hardware store (P.A. Luty). The law can only do so much to control what people do in their own homes.
i already agreed that it's impossible, i'm just describing how things would be in my perfect world

so when i tell you that there would still be millions of good people owning guns under stricter gun control policy and 2A repeal, you know it's coming from a person who would ultimately get rid of all guns if he had it his way

in other words, i'm not allowing my personal bias against guns affect how i view guns in the real world

we're never getting rid of guns, but that doesn't mean we can't limit public access to them
and limiting public access doesn't necessarily mean giving criminals more power, it's quite the opposite

i mean ultimately if i had a button that destroyed all guns and prevented anything similar from ever being created or used again, then i would press it instantly

in fact, i'd smash wayne lapierre's face against it

that's my ideal, no guns whatsoever, fuck you

never gonna happen though, so i have to try to discuss reality

no, in the same way that the right to drive an automobile is not a basic human right

it's a privilege that has to be worked for, and can be taken away
So if I'm a caveman and a rival tribe has sharp rocks and is regularly raping and killing people from my tribe, I can't get my own sharp rock and defend myself and my family because my tribal leaders say so? I specifically mean the ability to arm oneself regardless of what age or state of technology.
you are now talking about the right to defend yourself, which is a different subject
Defending yourself from those that are armed without being armed yourself almost certainly results in bodily harm or death.
still a better outcome than allowing any fucknut to carry a projectile weapon

it's pretty asinine to compare rocks to guns, by the way
So you'd prefer rape and murder possibly with illegal projectile weapons so the perpetrators of such can't get their hands on them because they obey the law?
okay, don't be fucking stupid

my entire thesis (that i've stated repeatedly) is that owning guns is like driving cars, in that it's a privilege, not a right

that means you can still easily get your hands on weapons if you've jumped through the necessary hoops like a responsible adult, it's just not your godgiven right in the same exact way that driving isn't your god given right

and since millions of people still drive, millions of people would still own guns

just because something isn't a basic human right doesn't mean it's banned completely

"why adopt gun control rules when criminals just buy their guns illegally from the black market"
just to clarify, this is not the argument i'm making, and i made the same point towards deci in the other thread

i figured my stance on gun control has been made clear enough in the past that i wouldn't need to clarify, but i support gun control to the extent that even most leftists might consider draconian

all i'm saying here is that it's still a two-way street; the black market will always exist, yes, but i'm coming at it from the perspective of someone who's more in line with your thinking, not deci's thinking

deci seems to be hung-up on the notion that any degree of gun control is pointless because it's not 100% effective, when, like you said, perfect efficacy is not what we're looking for

it's minimization
