Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Solkern]

Being unwilling and being unable are two completely separate issues

100% while we are unwilling to ban imports on guns, we are more than capable of doing it.

100% while we are unwilling to ban imports on guns, we are more than capable of doing it.

It’s kind of irrelevant as the majority of firearms being sold are domestically produced. Even companies like CZ, H&K, Sig Sauer, etc. have manufacturing here because the cost & complexity of importing firearms is high. While I agree with you that yes imports can easily be halted with executive action, domestic production of firearms is highly regulated but also legally protected from bans.

Which arms are imported that you believe will stop gun violence?

Definetly. The number of prosecution for illegal export to Mexico breaks down a list of the firearms involved, painting a stark picture of the United States gun manufacturing and dealers financing the lawlessness of Latin America.

Why do you keep bringing up things, that has nothing to do with what I’m saying?
Some dude said it’s impossible to ban gun imports, I just said it is possible.
I know for a fact banning gun imports won’t stop gun violence in America.

Yup, 100% true. Banning imports won’t solve any issues, or stop gun violence.

You've got to realize that their low effort posts aren't designed to solicit conversation, it's to mire you in a pointless and NEVERENDING rabbit hole of specifics until you're distracted from the conversation. Once you realize the handful of the ones that are just posting to frustrate you out of a conversation, it becomes a lot easier to continue.

Give me an example of any ban, anywhere... being able to be fully enforced.

You claiming something is "possible", excludes all of the consequences of making something "possible"... therefore, your argument, as I said is irrelevant.

To 100% STOP the import of guns, or any other item, would require atrocities that you conveniently decide to overlook.

Because, as I said before - once again, your concept is "feasible", but utterly removed from reality or practicality. Just because something "could be done", doesn't make you right - it makes you idealistic, yet ignorant.

Your life must be miserable. Move along.

Like I said, we are capable of banning gun imports, but are unwilling.
Nothing about right or wrong. All I said is a ban on gun imports is possible. Nothing more and nothing less. Not sure why you and others are trying make this more than it is.

You all keep adding conditions and reasons why it’s not possible, when it is. I don’t support banning gun imports at all.

Can we ban gun imports? Yes. Would it be stupid? Yes, would there be consequences? Yes. Would it be expensive? Yes.

That doesn’t change the fact, we can ban gun imports. We are just unwilling to do it.
