It's step 1 to a solution. I'm happy to discuss specific changes to the constitution, but after we move past the nonsense that criticizing the constitution isn't allowed and only comes from total hatred for your country.

Really? Care to give me links to these conversations? Proposed bills, ballot amendments, party platform documents listing such plans... Whatever evidence that goes beyond "random guy on Twitter spews 200 odd characters" would be nice.

You seem to think gun violence is concentrated in cities. Not terribly shocking that you're uninformed, but in most states, there's no particular correlation between level of urbanization and rates of gun violence.

The blame the cities game only works when you ignore rates and focus on just raw numbers. Which is helpful, I suppose, if you want to muddy the issue.

I believe I have a right to cry, if I want to. But thank you for so graciously granting it.

That's literally a factor in deciding every single right in existence. Your right to everything is contingent on the exercise of that right not taking away the rights of others. In the minds of anyone with sanity, that's the basic tenet of any given society. Deranged lunatics like you aside, not even the Supreme Court majority that decided the Second Amendment grants a personal right to bear arms disagrees that that right can be robustly regulated for reasons of public safety.

Ah, so these kids should be drafted to a campaign to show idiots the horrors of gun violence? I don't believe they consented to that.

Ah yes, the "I have no factual response so I shall laugh and pretend I know better" response. You're going through all the ways to dodge, the longer this conversation continues, I see.

I'll pretend to understand this bizarre statement.

Oh yeah. I'm the reason you hate yourself. Not the pathetic ignorance of facts to continue burying your head in the sand.

Why do you think you're so easy to weaken? Why do you think I should have any ability to "make" you hate yourself? Could it be that your belief in your strength and morality is all an illusion?

And yet, the banning of abortions didn't get you into transports of rage about the destruction of freedom and the human spirit. Why do you think you're selectively bothered by supposed threats to gun ownership over actual threats to a right to abortion?

If you believe that, act like it and leave the rest of us fools to debate solutions.

I have and continue to do so. What exactly do you want me to see? Evidence you continually ignore showing that gun laws reduce rates of gun deaths? Evidence that a majority of guns used for crimes in states with good gun laws come from neighboring states with easy access to guns?

Or do you have made up numbers for me to see?

What facts? The supreme arbiter of personal identity is the individual, not anyone outside. You're the one imposing your supposed "fact" on everyone.

I suppose. Why did you, then? Might have spared me some more blather to read through.

And yet another dodge. Bravo.
