BANNING GUNS 🚱⁉️

[Different]

What do you guys think of this alarming video that explains that Kamala Harris is a Marxist who wants to invade our homes and take our guns away from us? FYI, I don’t think anyone likes her. If you invade someone’s home and try to take anything away from them, you’re automatically getting shot. Whether it’s an AR15, money, jewelry, gaming systems, etc. I can already see some of you taking this message the wrong way probably because you like and support her, Idk.

2 YEARS AGO, we had this gun conversation, and it got heated pretty fast. So I’m just curious to know what you guys think of Kamala Harris potentially being the one to strip you of your guns, if this really is true. I’m just collecting your thoughts based on the video.

If you're going to make a thread that has the question "are you fine with it or not" you could at least make the post seem a little bit less like a loaded question lol
I find it insane the kinds of guns that America has for just anyone, I don't think you can get rid of all of them bc the problem is already there, but if people just casually have autos/semi-autos then why is that needed, it seems very overkill

It’s really unnecessary, tbh with you. It sounds like they’ve been pushing gun control for decades because they see us as a threat to society. If a child gets possession of a gun, that’s the parents’ fault.

Fun fact, Karl Marx advocated for gun ownership, so saying a Marxist is “anti-gun” goes completely against what he believed:

“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.” Quote from Karl Marx

You would think so at first, until you read articles like THIS one. To me, it didn’t make any sense during the start of it, but now I can see why people like that dude in the video carry the assumption that a “Marxist” has always been “anti-gun”. It’s quite ironic how things changed over time, that way.

Let's maybe put things into perspective. Here's how it works in Australia, at least to my understanding. All firearm owners are required to store their firearms securely in a locked, steel safe, and the firearm must be fitted with a trigger or barrel lock while stored. If the safe itself weighs under 150kg while empty, it must be bolted to the structure of the premises. The police do regular firearm safe inspections; they contact you to arrange a time for a face-to-face inspection, and if they find you have failed to meet the requirements, you can face a fine and - if I'm not mistaken - up to 12 months in prison.

The story is similar in pretty much every other developed nation, the only exception being the United States as far as I'm aware. Compared to what every other developed nation is already doing, what Kamala is suggesting in this 17 year old video is not a big deal at all. It's not "marxist" and it's certainly not "anti-gun" legislation. Legislation that helps ensure responsible firearm ownership is pro-gun, not anti-gun. It's just not pro-homicide.

By the way, some fun stats: did you know that you're 25 times more likely to get shot to death in America than any other developed nation? Did you know that homicide rates in general are 7 times higher in America than any other developed nation? Did you know that since 2021, there have been over 70 school shootings PER YEAR in the US? To once again maybe put things into perspective, there have been 6 school shootings in Australia since 1991, with a total of 3 deaths. And this is probably on the higher end for developed nations (excluding the US).

Of course, the US is unique in that, well, guns are already everywhere. But I don't think it makes sense to use that as an excuse to just... give up, and continue to allow gun violence to run rampant. I think the US could still benefit a lot from way stricter gun laws and way tougher sentences for gun-related crimes. Unfortunately, I think getting any positive change is an up-hill battle. Republican fearmongering has been too successful in convincing a generation of rednecks that their guns are on the verge of being taken away. Case in point: the utterly vapid and embarrassing video from the OP.

The laws are different over here compared to your country. I’d imagine they’re enforcing incredibly strict rules over there where you are. When you visit a country where there are tons of deaths due to homicide shootings, then you have to pay attention to the laws being enforced and what kind of people you have living in that country, right? If more disciplinary actions were enforced, then people wouldn’t go around shooting one another.

Dude, they don’t care about gun violence over here in America, trust me. They’re allowing this stuff to happen on purpose because they want to destroy America. If they really cared, they’d have fixed the problem a long time ago… think about it. They use that whole, “gun violence” narrative as an excuse to disarm Americans of their guns so they can demolish this country. It amazes me how people are so gullible to not see what their diabolical plot is. The US Government has never cared about their citizens, believe me. I already know I’m going to get heat on myself for saying that, but I don’t care. Unfortunately, people will just have to learn the hard way.

Whenever someone uses the word "Marxist", I assume that everything they say afterwards is going to be stupid lol
