Right, so no one should infringe on the regulations. Glad we agree.
Wanting more robust gun control laws (you know, the regulated part of well-regulated militia) is not the same coming to get everyone's guns.
And we do have gun control. It's not like anyone can walk into a store and just go home with a gun. It takes criminal and mental background checks, a gun safety course, and having a locked gun safe...what more do you want?!
Good thing there's no way to buy a gun without going to a store... oh wait!
In Tennessee, private sellers don't have to do a background check. If you buy a gun from someone without a federal license (gun show, yard sale, or even online), you don't have to go through a background check.
And there is no permit required for open carry.
Good. How it should be. It's my property to do with what I want. Free country.
So your previous screed about the "controls" is pointless. Anyone can have a gun, and all that stuff you just laid out is performative.

Gun control does not equal taking away all guns. It means controlling access. Make them more expensive. Put a high amount of insurance on them. Add the most thorough background checks you've ever seen.
Remember, the second amendment (probably the only amendment the Repulikkkans know) was written when guns were archaic contraptions of wood and metal. I'm not a historian but, I'm sure the idea of something that could discharge hundreds of bullets in seconds wasn't in the thought process.
The thought process was having a means to defend ourselves from the government should the need ever arise again as it already has happened. They didn't write the 2nd amendment to shoot bucks, that's just a bonus. If the government has every faucet of control over guns that defeats the entire purpose. The people are supposed to have the power and government is supposed to work for them, not the other way around. And the idea of of governments abusing their power is far from archaic.
The government has abused their power since the jump. That's nothing new. But. None of that matters when the handguns you're likely carrying around are just as easy to access as the ones capable of unleashing so much devastation within seconds. When I/someone is asking for gun control, it doesn't equal the soundbite of "the liberals are trying to take away our guns!" No, it's demanding common sense. That backwards way of thinking of needing an assault weapon to defend yourself from the government is antiquated.
Happy Easter, y'all!

The founding fathers and Bill of Rights disagree with you. Our entire country was founded on revolution and not letting the government have too much control. But I guess they were just "conspiracy theorists".
The country was founded on a lot of things that were not so great, and they were bound to have got some things wrong. We clearly are suffering some of the effects, when you look at our gun violence and compare it to other developed nations. It doesn't have to be that way.
...but Tim Pool says we should all be able to purchase our own nukes. Why can't I purchase a nuke? It's a free country! If I need a canon or a bazooka, or maybe an anti-aircraft missile or two... I should be able to load up on that. The constitution says so! Regulation-shmegulation. Anarchy for me, fascism for thee.
But you think the government that lies to us on a daily basis should...yeah, that's exactly why we should have guns
The government lies to us on a daily basis? Individual politicians lie, and we should remove money from politics so that they will answer only to the people and not their donors, sure. I think the media spins all the time, and does the bidding of their shareholders. I don't think "the government" lies to us all the time and no, I'm not afraid of the big, bad government. That's a crazy conspiracy theory. The only sane argument for guns, is for sport, and for personal self-defense. Not because "we're gonna have a revolution". We're not gonna have a revolution, you're not gonna go fight a literal war in your back yard amongst your neighbors. It ain't happening, and you don't need a military grade weapon to go hunting, or to protect yourself.

That already happened. The militias that are mentioned in the Constitution were forced to disband or were destroyed by the Continental Army or Federalised Army Regulars. Even back then the people didn't want to give up their guns, and the government came and forced them to do it.
Nah, they deserve it. They did it to themselves. If they don't want to get trash talked then they probably shouldn't sell 2 to 3 times above market value. I don't understand how they stay in business.
I could try to sell my N64 for $800. Doesn't mean I deserve bashing. You don't HAVE to buy my stuff, just like you don't HAVE to trade your games into GameStop. It's not like GS owes people more money for their used games. Nobody is owed anything. Do the research, and make your own calculated transactions. Most of the people who buy from DK Oldies, don't care about the nitpicking and the prices, obviously.
I don't buy from DK Oldies because it's too expensive and you don't get to see it. I'm not automatically entitled to a fair price and something in pristine condition from them, sight unseen. Even still, if I'm not happy with it, they do returns and exchanges. So what is all the whining truly about?
