    At first I was like wtf are they going after a statue built in tribute of a Spanish person ?! , but then I read this: Of the 500 or so survivors, at a trial at Ohkay Owingeh, Oñate sentenced most to twenty years of forced "personal servitude" and additionally mandated that all men over the age of twenty-five have a foot cut off.[3] He was eventually banished from New Mexico and exiled from Mexico City for five years, convicted by the Spanish government of using "excessive force" against the Acoma people.[2], and y’all thought cops could be brutal ? Lol

    The real story here has nothing to do with the statue. The story is that nutjobs with guns think they have a green light from our dipshit-in-chief to shoot people.

    True saving the statue of a cruel and enslaving despot is not grounds for using deadly force.

    What about the government taking your assault weapons if a ban passed the house and senate?

    Well right now there are 400,000,000 civilian held firearms in the USA or half of all civilian held firearms in the entire world.

    Something horrible is going to happen.

    Jeez I’d guess they would have to find them,...out of my cold dead hands lol, well of course I would be a law abiding citizen and abide by all legal rulings..I might be disgruntled and have to burn down a Starbucks to peacefully protest

    No question more and more guns will be bought in the USA until the laws are changed.

    Right now there is 1.25 civilian owned guns per citizen..... won't be long before it is 1.5.

    At some point something horrific and large in scale will happen with those numbers.

    Outlawing guns isn't the answer but there needs to be some moderation.... we have an incredible amount of gun violence compared to any other industrialized nation and it correlates to an incredibly high number of guns.

    I think certain high powered riffles should be banned. They were before. I also think each person needs a license to safely operate a gun. By license I mean safety course on how to operate a firearm. Also need extensive background checks with no loop holes like second hand private selling you see to often at gun shows etc. I think people need to be required to have liability insurance. Owning guns should come with responsibility.
