    Black people buy guns to protect themselves from crime and crazy white people.

    Most people aren’t against gun ownership. But continue with your dumb straw mans.

    Guns owners are more diverse than Harfoots in Rings of Power or the casting of She Hulk

    I don't know anyone who is against owning a gun, its the safety and regulation that need to be addressed. I currently don't own a gun but that might change in the future, you never know when a zombie apocalypse might rise up

    I know quite a few people personally, and numerous amounts of politicians who say guns should be banned in entirety.

    There are two types of guns you can own
    Legal and illegal
    Usually illegal is used by gangs and criminals
    You know ghost guns

    Tell me why you need an AR-15 vs. a Semi-Automatic handgun, pump shotgun, or hunting rifle.

    I was speaking in regards to my friends and family, Beto is talking about a specific style of gun, as in a gun used on the battlefield such as the AK-47..................you know the kind of gun that was used to murder those kids in Uvalde by an 18 year old kid and almost every other mass shooting. I actually don't agree with Beto but I do think you should be 21 to buy an "assault" rifle and there should be a number of checks and balances to ensure you know what your doing. I don't know if he still stands for that as that was 2020 but if that's what is is still saying then I would disagree and that's OK, I don't blindly follow people.........Salvey, I am sure you fell the same way about an ex prez stealing secret documents form the white house or causing an insurrection......right?

    I get what you’re saying, but the public cannot purchase guns or anything remotely similar in function as used on the battlefield.
    Unless they go through a rigorous vetting process by the government, and a waiting period of at least 6 months.

    Can't really think of a better weapon for home protection than an AR-15... Handguns are not practical even if it appears that way. You have a better shot at stopping a home intruder with an AR than missing the target with a hand gun. AR's are also very common and 223.rem is cheap widely available. If not than you can always use 5.56 nato which is also very common and widely available. AR's are also much more precise and accurate if you know what you are doing with it. Shotguns are also pretty damn good for home protection and a hunting riffle is great for well, hunting.

    Yeah, criminals and psychopaths use guns to commit their crimes. They also use knives, drugs, Suv's..

    I mean, do we ban cars as well? Eliminating guns does nothing, criminals and psychopaths will always get their hands on guns or any tool they need to do what they intend.

    Guns just so happen to also save lives.
