Probably Butt I'd assume but not really sure. Already have issues with it though. What classifies as an assault weapon and what classifies as mentally ill. Are we talking at one point you had depression, PTSD, anxiety? That's kinda a questionable line.
That's Bernie. We had an Assault Weapons Ban from 1994 to 2004, but you know, the Democrats have moved left and all. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Agreed on the other points.

We did but if you look up statistics it had no actual effect on homicide rates or crime whatsoever. If you look up campus carry and schools that have allowed campus carry, there was recently an article released that absolutely no increase in violent crimes or homicide has occurred since campus carry and in some cases, decreased.

Bernie did a bit on Rogan about guns after the whole El Paso shooting. His statement was he was against assault weapons and wanted to implement broader mental health checks. I don't feel just because you suffered depression, PTSD or anxiety at some point in your life, you shouldn't be able to defend yourself if needed. Moreover, if you start teaching people the consequence is death for committing heinous crimes, they are less likely to incur. You also need to stop people from believing humanity is shit. The people that commit these mass shootings always have one thing in common from every spectrum. Left or Right. They hold no value for human life. They think a certain race is a miserable piece of shit. They think all humans are miserable pieces of shit. This is probably the case for all mass shooters. Other than that people who disregard the law and commit crimes need to face the will of law abiding citizens and the law.

Do you think an AR-15 that should be locked in a safe when not in use is going to protect your home?

No but I carry a Smith & Wesson .38 SPL on my appendix and an Arsenal AK SBR in my trunk. You'd also be surprised at the ways they come up with guns safes. I've got a few RFID safes that are disguised as art or night stands. Put your keys on your night stand, have a lower compartment that opens via RFID on your keys and voila you can pull out whatever SBR, Folding shotgun, pistol you want.

Why do you need weaponry? Do you live in a war zone?

Because as a great quote from Thomas Jefferson "“A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."

I shoot a lot. My belief is that a gun is a tool. It is a dangerous tool but also a useful tool. If you train with a dangerous tool on a regular basis, it sharpens your mind. You need to always be aware of trigger control, your surroundings and timing with breathing. The more you utilize those functions for sports and exercise, the sharper you become. I also believe that the world is in a great place. Go back 80 years ago, it wasn't. Go back 20 something years before that, it wasn't. Even in-between there have been some bad times across the globe with diseases and wars.

The world is becoming way better. 50% of the world was pulled out of poverty in 15 years with a goal of 30 years. It is a better time to be alive today than ever before. People are self oppressed for the most part. I hope not but, if I ever need guns to defend myself, friends and family. I have them and have utilized those tools for years.

It seems you don't understand why the Second Amendment was created in the first place.

I think that's well-decided. We can remove rights from the mentally ill, so there's not a lot of reason left to not remove them from other problem groups.
