Damn. I really thought Carney would scrap this horrible gun buyback program citing sensible economic policy.
This could be such an easy win. All the data shows that law abiding gun owners aren't the problem. Stop the flow of illegal weapons from the states. Educate people on guns and encourage people to get their PALs should be the approach. I'm a gun dude and would even support stricter gun training if it helps weed out the crazies.
Really weird hill to die on.
Doubling down on this when we our sovereignty is threatented is just straight bonkers. You bet PP will make this a main talking point and it could really snowball.
You comment is very confusing. I understand not supporting the gun restrictions introduced in the last 5 years, but why would you oppose the buyback program? If the government makes a citizen's property illegal to own, they should compensate the citizen.
FTFY. Also, the issue (generally) isn't gun owners, it's their guns that get stolen, misused, etc.
Irrelevant and nonsensical. Individual gun owners have no impact on preserving our sovereignty. Modern militaries are on a different level than "A well regulated Militia" or whatever other 2A BS this is.
Uh... Afghanistan would like to object?
If you're talking about the Taliban, I'd argue they are a full-blown military which just wasn't attached to an internationally recognized government for ~2 decades. They had professional soldiers and equipment which would way out-class even the most intense private militia in the US.
