Texas shooter struggled with mental health, family dysfunction, was fascinated with guns

No, we have tax stamps. Fill out the form, pass your background check, pay your tax, then you can pay a boatload of money for a gun.

IMO, even that is unconstitutional, despite rulings to the contrary. Pay a tax to exercise a right…. No thanks.

 

It's very illegal to drive a tank in public without authorization. It's especially illegal if the tank has a fully automatic machine guns and explosive rounds locked and loaded

 

the bullets could be taxed though

 

It isn't illegal if the tank meets state regulations for lights, mirrors and tags.

 

That still violated the 2nd Amendment, because it infringes on the right to keep and bear arms.

 

Except it's not, we already require a license to own certain firearms, the question is whether or not other weapons and high capacity magazines should be added to the list

Unless of course there's a line in the constitution that specifies that semi-automatic weapons and/or high capacity magazines cannot be added to the list. In which case I'm all eyes/ears, just direct me where to do to find that line in the constitution.

 

The court has already ruled that a right can't be taxed.

 

The court ruled that a right can't be taxed.

Semi-automatic weapons are arms.

This article describes the kid pretty well. There were a lot of red flags that should have signaled upcoming disaster.
By the way, I’ve seen some of his former friends claiming the kid started to change after covid lockdown. It was predicted that taking kids out of normal school routine will mess with kids’ mental state. This might be just the beginning. In some areas kids were kept out of school and were doing remote learning for at least a year - many might experience degraded communication skills which might result in higher rate of mental issues.

 

Certain arms are not considered a constitutional right to own, hence why they require a license to own them. A fully automatic AK47 is an arm

Guess what? you need a license to own one

 

like requiring someone pay for an ID, vs getting a free one to vote

 

It's unconstitutional. Don't know what else to tell you. Can you show me the line in the 2nd Amendment that says "only some arms"?

Passing a law doesn't automatically make it constitutional.

 

Who doesn't have an ID above the age of 18?

You have to have an ID to buy a gun. Should all IDs be free?

 

You do not need a license to own one. Pay your tax, pass your background check, then pay your $10,000+ to own a fully automatic AK-47 built before 1986.

 

trend? Sounds like it's not even true, seems white male heterosexuals still own that title

"Texas Trans girl assaulted over GOP lies about Uvalde shooting"

"Nobody is quite sure where that false claim got started, but it spread rapidly, based on photos of a person unrelated to the attack. The 18-year-old man who killed 19 children and 2 adults yesterday is neither transgender nor an illegal immigrant."

 

Sure, let's extend the age for war as well. War is a racket, and also a terrible human experience. So if we have it at all, it should only be adults who carry that burden.

 

Oh really, it's unconstitutional, do you have a Supreme Court Ruling on that to refer me to? Because we've had these active restrictions on certain weapons for quite a long time now

I'm also curious to know your interpretation of the words "well regulated"

 

What is happening to the US education system and the media system, it's a big problem.

 

then offer everyone a free ID that needs one, if so few don't have one, problem solved

 

That’s funny because reports are that he was bullied often for wearing makeup to school.

 

To the bold:

In the parlance of the times, it meant to function properly. Like a well regulated clock.

What is your interpretation of “shall not be infringed”?(so far it sounds like you interpret it to mean “shall be infringed”)

 

I don't need the Supreme Court to tell me what's constitutional and what isn't. That's the beauty of this country.

We had black codes for a long time, too. We're they constitutional?

"Well regulated" applies to the militia, not the people.

 

I doubt the right wing media and politicians will even apologize

 

It is literally the duty of the supreme court to interpret what is and is not constitutional

We literally passed an amendment to abolish black codes lol

Also, are you implying the second amendment's intended purpose is for a militia?

 

Don't think it is the price of freedom;. It is the price of being a nation that is violent in nature and has a gun addiction..........and lives in fear. Why should a free nation require so many weapons to be "safe". The gun lobby reinforces the fear by selling weapons for " self protection"..........And this is now the dogma for gun ownership..

America is not a safe nation.........nor is it a free nation...........in the true sense. Kids can't go to school without being afraid. Shoppers can't shop without being on alert wondering.... and then with time the population becomes desensitized to the horror........... as it is the "norm"

So until they prepared to do something serious about the weapons situation and the mental health programs........... save the platitudes........as they are meaningless.......... and ring hollow.
