(6,635 posts)stated support for the "pro-rights" bullshit that the NRA and its followers parrot. No one with an ounce of credibility believes that repealing the 2nd Amendment is an answer to anything. Using that NRA basic talking point gives you away from the git-go.
Going back to sane regulation and demanding accountability and responsibility from gun owners is the goal of what you call "anti-rights" Americans. We are not "anti-rights," but pro-gun control, although the NRA clones like you can't seem to comprehend that distinction. We are not "anti-rights" but pro-sanity and anti-NRA. To repeat, the 2nd Amendment does NOT prohibit gun control -- only the NRA prohibits gun control through bought and paid for politicians.
And contrary to your belief that "there is no meaningful debate going on," there is a shitload of meaningful debate going on right here on DU. It may not be to your, and your Gungeon buddies liking, or fit your interpretation of "meaningful," but it IS happening. The recent mass murders using weapons that should never have been sold or introduced for civilian consumption in this country is being discussed at all levels of our society now. That is meaningful, and not "anti-rights," but anti-stupidity.
