Christian School Shooting in Nashville

The Nashville Shooter is just an example of the success of the Second Amendment. We have unfettered access to military grade firearms in the US because the Second Amendment has been interpreted to vest the right to bear arms not just for personal defense in the hearth and home, but as a right to bear arms to resist tyranny. While we do not have the manifesto yet, it seems clear that the shooter saw the attack on trans rights in the US and Tennessee as an example of tyranny. And it is probably not far fetched to imagine that the school did not approach the shooter's trans identity with acceptance and dignity. So, the shooter exercised the well settled Second Amendment right to resist tyranny by bearing arms.

Oh but you say that there was no tyranny? Well, who gets to decide whether there is tyranny or not? Under the Second Amendment, whether tyranny is the acceptance of interracial marriage, affirmative action, anti-trans legislation is just in the eye of the person who has taken up arms. The ultimate determination of whether they were right or wrong is left to the battlefield. If those who bear arms are well organized and effective in how they use their weapons, they will defeat whoever is on the side of tyranny. If they are not effective, then there must not have been any tyranny. That is the beauty of the Second Amendment, It preserves the right of every American to go shoot it out over what they think is tyranny and anyone caught in the crossfire just has to take one for the team.

There's more poor white people than poor black people...

Statistics don't care about your feelings.

This is a failure of Christianity is what it really is.

So many murderous Christians in this country. Black, white, trans..

Translating this con artists post : he believes George Washington, Ben Franklin, Madison, Hamilton and company were on board for a 2nd Amendment so cross dressers could defend their declaring the impossibility that they are a woman, demand pronouns they order you to say come out of your mouths, mandate that everyone role play along with their fantasies, and have legislatures and courts back them up.

The tyranny is from the trans side. It's not perception. It's not a matter of perspective. Anyone who thinks these gender harassers could possibly be the "freedom fighters" is a total ignoramus and should be disregarded.

Fighting for Rights and freedoms until they don't like the rights and freedoms being fought for.

Hey we found someone who believes the 2nd amendment was designed to allow virtually unlimited weapon ownership! You know that is a quite recent interpretation, right? And you would have been considered a lunatic if you believed that in prior decades, right?

Because whites were over 70% of the population and are still over 60% of the population.

Mass Shooters by Race and Hispanic Ethnicity: Not Far off from the Population as a Whole

It's not clear to me how useful it is to identify the racial and ethnic breakdown of mass shooters—but it...

Whites commit a smaller percent of mass shootings than their percentage of the population. They are under represented.

People failing to live up to the tenants of a religion isn't a failure of the religion it's a failure of the people themselves.

No what you have there is someone who thinks having a gun means unlimited reasoning to use it. That has NEVER been the argument of the gun rights side, and it isn't now either. Imagine thinking that passing a law to limit drag queen shows with kids in attendance is "tyranny". Or that preventing chemical or physical castration of "trans kids" is some kind of breech of people's rights. People need to take up arms against that ? lol

Anyone who tells you this is trans oppression is a simpleton and shouldn't be taken serious

Proving again that the vast majority of mass and school shooters are white males

Are you done talking percentages?

Black Americans have more than double the rate of white Americans living below the poverty line.

What do you mean "even the Taliban". You think the Taliban are godless liberals? What?

But that's just it, "RockyG." That subjectivity is exactly the problem with this aspect of the gun-rights argument. Why should you get to say what constitutes tyranny? What about displaced, marginalized Native Americans? What about dispossessed, red-lined, intentionally undereducated urban Black people? Don't they have a claim to the word and idea of "tyranny" as well? How convenient for everyone that tyranny only applies to laws that affect and limit you.

Also--and this is no small thing--your writing skills are horrible. I'm not engaging in tone-policing here; the problem is that you can't articulate anything more sophisticated than what your limited vocabulary and syntax support. There's no real thinking happening in your head, because you literally don't have the language to develop and sustain thought. You have impulses and you have words, but that doesn't mean you're thinking. Indeed, to paraphrase someone we both know, "Anyone who writes like you is a simpleton and shouldn't be taken serious"

Nah, I think they would just shoot them or call the cops. Besides, Democratic mayors are already doing a version of this by not having more aggressive policing of their cities and letting black criminals run amok, because sending black people to jail for committing crimes is racist and evil. White people respond by leaving these areas.

Stop acting like white america cares about inner city violence. We don’t. We only care when our white babies are killed by a trans person.

LOL "rocky you write so badly that I borrowed one of your written quotes"

The rest of your post is relativity bullsht. I'll tell you what to think, Slimey. People like me have to think for you because you;r'e a dishonest twit.

Please give an example of a weapon that is not “military grade.”

you anti gun nuts love to just throw around scary words

it’s only a recent interpretation because the generations before us knew it was common sense.
