Do we have a right to bear arms or not?

I mean until I pull the trigger I’m just exercising my second amendment rights and that can’t be infringed

The government has done good and bad in the past. I don’t see your point. It was the same government that wrote the bill of rights you hold so sacred. Answer me this. Why are guns use by police as an excuse to use lethal force? And if guns are used as protection against a tyrannical government who decides when the goverment has become tyrannical? When am I in my right to use said gun against the goverment?

It’s in the 9th amendment. Just because a right isn’t codified doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. American citizens most certainly have a right to feel safe in public spaces. What history am I ignoring? The one where we created a government for the people by the people. If you don’t like something the government is doing it’s within your power to enact change. I think that’s amazing and why I love America.

lol knives are not just as deadly. And no it is not a slippery slope. If you are mentally ill you need medical help not guns. I can’t imagine giving psychiatric patients guns. That’s crazy man

Why can cops use seeing a gun as justification to shoot someone? If guns are protected by the second amendment I should be able to have mine in my hand while interacting with a police officer for my own safety,

Try learning to count past 2 buddy. Your rights have already been eroded. A gun isn’t going to help you 🤣

What about my right to feel safe in public?

It’s why I don’t understand why mass shootings are even on the news. We are a gun loving country. We are taught at a young age guns solves problems. Of course people are going to shoot each other. It’s part of gun culture. And I fully embrace it. Talk shit and find out. People would be much nicer to each other if they realized being a dick could get you shot.
