What would qualify someone as stupid to you? Below average intelligence? How do you quantify such a thing?

Ergo, the reason your OP failed. And it's ok to admit that you were attempting a gotcha but didn't think it all the way through by choosing that guy to be the example for 2nd amendment rights.

Legally exercising your 2nd amendment rights isn't criminal though


No shite. So what is your fricking point asking if "MAGA" will turn their back on the second amendment? If they want to carry guns, cool. If they want to use their guns to intimidate or God forbid murder law enforcement officers, then not cool.

You injected MAGA into this as some sort of gotcha.

2A advocacy is based on principle. Not politics. That's why I don't have any patience for bullshite like this.

That's not the answer he's fishing for. You're supposed to say "I'm a dumb coonass and I don't want any black people having any guns!"

Or something to that effect.

This is such a shite troll attempt.

A good place to start is with people that show up armed while federal agents are enforcing laws. You don't ever carry a gun unless you're 100000% sure you know WTF you're doing. These cosplaying dumb fricks do not fall into that category.

As far as I know only this one dude made threatening comments


I read the quotes. There was no specific threat made. Just saber rattling. You greatly embellished when you claimed that they said they would smoke ICE.

quote:

If there are a bunch of people (doesn't matter if they're black or not) open carrying at an ICE protest are you ok with that?

Then why bring up the black organization doing it and not the white dudes from a few days ago? And why would you bring up the black organization and then ask "Will MAGA turn their back on the 2A?" Epecially considering your embellishment of the quotes.

This thread smacks of dumbassery.

Again, it is based on my personal opinion. But, i'd require an IQ test, a common sense test, and morality test.

FWIW, i also believe if you are going to put restrictions on the type of people that can own or adopt a dog, like shelters/rescues do, then at a minimum, those same standards must be applied to humans as well regarding adoption or having kids.

However, i am not running for office, and not all of my opinions jive with a free society. My opinions are formed from 44 years on this planet and the obscene stupidity that resides in this country.

A very small percentage of MAGA would probably be ok if certain out groups were not allowed to own firearms. Especially if Trump supported it. There was a thread a while back on whether transexuals should be allowed to own guns and while that led to a discussion more broadly on mental illness and firearm ownership, I was surprised by the number of conservatives (not necessarily MAGA) that were on board with stripping 2A rights away from folks without much much due process.

why do you believe your buddy in the OP should be allowed to threaten law enforcement?


You call them law enforcement because calling them your government would cross two wires in your brain and lead to a cascade of falling diametrically opposed beliefs which would send you into a mental health crisis.

In your mind:
"Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden and their government were bad and encroached on our rights and fleeced our pockets."
Reality: Trump and his government are made up of many of the same people.
"Trump and his government are heroes."

The government should fear the people, as it is the will of the people upon which its foundations are set.

Of course, given they’re following the law.

I have to ask, are you against the government/law enforcement removing illegals from the country?

Yeah. Funny how that happens. More people are ok with having rights taken away from people that aren't like them then you might like to believe.

No. I personally have no problem with them exercising their 2A rights. As long as they are not using their guns to threaten law enforcement or the general public, which to now, they don’t appear to be, then I’m cool with them.

I don’t have a problem with any group of people demonstrating or protesting as long as they are not in the roads blocking traffic or otherwise impeding people from getting to where they need to go, or disrupting private businesses, churches, or schools.

No, not at all. It's unfortunate that we've gotten to this point.

Hey dipshit. We've already established, and you already admitted, that the dumbass you are defending in the OP is threatening federal law enforcement. You tucked your tail between your legs early on in this thread. Now you find 1 other dumbass who wants to join in on your make believe train and you are quick to revert back to form?

How painful is your day to day life? I can't imagine the mental toll it would take to have to create arguments that you lose at. Then admit you lost to them. Then go back to those same losing arguments just because another dumbass took your bait.

This is so fricking dumb. You can believe they have the right to carry AND still think they're dumb for doing so. I haven't seen any "MAGA or conservatives" advocating for them to not be able to own a gun.

Me neither

But Trump hasn't weighed in on it yet so it's subject to change
