San Jose cop who shot good guy in 2022 is fired for racist text messages

There are a lot of well-meaning liberals who have been instrumental in taking guns out of the hands of... Pretty much, exclusively themselves. Most right-wing gun nuts already have their guns, they won't be giving them up anytime soon, and the American gun culture is incomparable to most other countries. If we could start over, less guns would work, but unfortunately we can't.

That isn't to say we shouldn't enforce things like red flag laws, but other things like trying to limit high capacity magazines in liberal states is just ceding weapons to the wealthy conservatives who think they can shoot down the local Jewish space laser themselves.

I'm curious about what inaccurate perceptions you think they're pushing and what their agenda is.

Is their agenda... preventing needless death?

Foundational assumptions about this debate. A political party that's half of a government that killed 20,000,000 civilians in other countries over the last century is trying to convince you that you'd be better off without the ability to arm yourself to defend against rapists and the second amendment never had anything to do with discouraging tyranny here.
