Can I go buy myself a grenade launcher and walk around with it in public, loaded? How about one capable of shooting rocket propelled grenades? If no, why not? Does the Second Amendment have limits on “arms”?
How about a tactical nuclear weapon?

Now now, let's not get crazy. We all know the founding fathers didn't want that.

Speaking of the 2nd amendment and our Founding Fathers, I laugh when women such as MTG and Boebert (staunch "supporters" of the 2nd Amendment) talk about our Founding Fathers and what they wanted and stood for.
You know, the same guys who never wanted them (women) to serve our country and until the 19th Amendment didn't even have the right to vote for who served as our country's politicians.

Right. And whatever’s to the west of, I don’t know, the Mississippi…that’s for figuring out another day.
What in the world are you talking about? My god, culture war issues converging is causing your brain cells to play bumper cars or something.
I'm asking you to give me one example of a right a trans person doesn't have that other people have. And you are not able to do so. Ill give you another chance. Name one right that a transperson does not have, that others have. Just one
I'm not sure you have even a middle-school-level understanding of what rights are, or where they come from.
But there are myriad examples of legislation and policies advanced by Republicans that seek to tell trans people which bathroom they can use, how other people (including their employers and government agencies) address them, which sports teams they can be on, what can be taught about them in schools, whether they are eligible for certain benefits and programs, what medical treatments are available to them, and on and on and on.

i don't believe anybody wants to disarm the good folks.
I wish that were true but I've seen hundreds of posts of people saying "everyone should turn in their guns so we can do something"
A lot of people are naive enough to think we can magically make guns disappear
Are you both children?
The "good guys and bad guys" argument is one an adult should not be making.
from that thread, and re: mass shootings in the 80s and 90s
As we all know, mental illness first emerged in 2004. Scientists and officials have not yet developed a firm view on whether it was zoonotic in origin, or the result of a (weaponized?) lab leak.

Curious: where DO rights come from?
I would hope you would not encourage Captain TalkingPoint.

i do believe that no person outside the active military should be allowed to own one of those guns that can shoot a hundred rounds in a minute.

This isn't about him. You dropped it into the conversation. And mostly I am, as I said, curious.

Do your own damn research then.

Nah. I just asked a question based on Fish's statement. And again, I'm curious about Fish's perspective specifically. I don't give a fuck about what you think, cuz you're not interesting at all.

The Oklahoma city bombing killed 168 people and injured many more. It was the deadliest case of domestic terrorism in US history. It happened in 1995...
And the US responded by putting a fleet of regulations on the ingredients used to make that bomb and as a result, we have not seen a similar incident since. Thank you for making our point.
