2020 Democrat primary debates

You mean outside of our enormous illegal gun trade and lack of upkeep/accountability for the few laws we already have in place? The primary argument against stricter firearm regulations in my opinion is that we have such an enormous illegal trade to begin with and far too much on the street to deal with. You have to tackle that problem before you start regulating away legitimate users.

.... Wtf are stricter gun laws going to do there? They are already illegal. Make them more illegal?

Not to mention making the illegal more illegal will disproportionately affect more black and brown minority men that whitey.

Also, I think seatbelt laws are fucking retarded too. If someone wants to be a fucking retard and not wear one, they shouldn't be required to.

EMTs, medical care, and hazardous waste cleanup are not free. You are not free to cost the state tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars to scrape your ass off the pavement. You're not free to raise everyone's insurance premiums with shitty driving to account for the fact that you aren't going to obey the laws. If what you were doing only affected you, I'd be inclined to agree, but it doesn't. In a vaccuum, sure do it up, but that's not where we live.

And that is why the person and/or his family will pay for it. Thanks for playing.

Let me bold the part you forgot to read.

As stated already, they don't do anything until that particular problem is solved.

That's not how that works. It is in theory for medical care, but that's the only aspect of that which is the case, and only in theory. Unless you count uninsured or underinsured persons, in which case that burden is largely shouldered by the state and one of the hot topics of the whole socialized healthcare debate.

More gun laws would be like us taking away your keyboard to make you less retarded.

Where exactly do you think I suggested more gun laws there? Quote it. I'll wait.

Can you expand on the "illegal trade" you keep referring too. What is it? Are you talking about loopholes, which aren't illegal, or do you mean something else?

[Gelston]

I don't think he knows what the world illegal means.
