Has the love of guns doomed conservatives?

Question

VOTE BELOW! A Democratic legislator has been expelled from the Tennessee statehouse for joining a gun control protest that brought legislative proceedings to a halt there last week. The House of Representatives voted 72-25 to expel Justin Jones, 27, who led demonstrators in chants from the floor. He was joined by two other Democratic lawmakers, Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson, who also face expulsion. Hundreds of protesters have flooded the State Capitol since a school shooting. The 27 March attack at Nashville's Covenant School killed six, including three children. Mr Jones' removal by the Republican-dominated body marks the first such expulsion without the support of both parties from the General Assembly in Tennessee's modern history. Thursday's vote followed a fractious day in the House. Lawmakers had argued for hours over the expulsion resolution. Audible within the chamber were the shouts of protesters who still crowd the statehouse. CLICK for ARTICLE

don't know the details of this... Looked on video similar to jan 6th.

Seems to me it's his right to free speech, not valid to expel him.

Guns and Abortion will do lots of damage, guaranteeing many more years of "left". So does immigration of "left". So you have nothing to worry about, other than decline in living standards, social decay and shift in power east.

Our guns and ammo sure are coming in handy in Ukraine. Don't know what were going to do when we ban guns, maybe we can just fight the next wars with drones controlled by "nerds" siting at their desks.

We don't love guns, we love protecting out stuff since we think we worked for it, saved, did things right. But others that screwed up and are jealous, want to take it and now have control. So they are socially re-distributing and that's that. The side effect of having guns is they can do a lot of damage fast, especially when ya have mentally ill people created by society, that includes left and right thinking people.

It's no longer worth it to have stuff. I enjoyed reading an article from a neighbor that had bicycles stolen by two kids, male black, 4 separate times. lol... nothing will be done, can be done. Shoot those kids, neighbor is done. The police won't do anything, courts just release them. It's socialized transfer of wealth. It's decay in values.

So unless someone comes to threaten, then gun is now not useful for self defense... they threw out the constitution, can't protect your self or propety without a lot of risk... gotta be perfect and fortunate. Most are better off trying to fight off attackers bare handed. Except for the guy that got knifed to death on the subway recently... and the one that got beat from behind and died. oh well, we dont' count them... we only count school shootings, which are awful

the old country is gone... welcome in the new socialist country. You can go visit France to see how that works. It's fantastic, there's little gun violence. However, every person in middle class builds a large metal gate around their house to keep people out. lol... were heading there... don't believe me, look at Pelosi and Biden's homes, and the white house. blame it on jan 6 if you want.

there is no solution to this... removing guns addresses one issue, creates others that concern you less.

All buildings need to have armed resource officers... multiple, no matter what. If guns are illegal, people can still get them.

Are we making pipe bombs and nitrogen bombs illegal too?

What about drones that deliver bombs... have we considered the damage someone can do with an inexpensive drone? you head it here first... we will have drone terror in usa!

The mainstream conservative movement has been completely ineffective at the cultural level and is doomed, but there will be no getting rid of guns in this country. They are too numerous and with 3D printing they will be easily produced by anyone with a little ingenuity. Furthermore, because this administration confiscated Russia’s foreign reserves in a short-sighted fit of anger, the dollar is discredited for global trade and the trend toward dedollarization has accelerated. Even the Saudis are selling oil for currencies other than dollars. The US used force to enforce dollar dominance (this is what most of the wars we stirred up after the 1980s were about), but we will not prevail against the whole non-Western world. Give it five or ten years or perhaps sooner and we will see economic problems the likes of which we have never experienced: economic contraction followed by hyperinflation. The USG will lose its ability to raise debt while exporting inflation to other countries, and will no longer afford to project force abroad and potentially even internally. There is no way out that does not involve the mass impoverishment of most Americans. Local police forces will be difficult to fund. Believe me, during that time many of you who are ideologically against guns will get a gun, not to keep the government under control but to protect yourselves from thieves and thugs. As they say, reality is reactionary.

I don't understand isn't the right to protest a first amendment right? Are legislators not allowed to lead a protest?

Their obsession with guns is sickening.

SamIam96 · Answer

Of the three voting options, it's disturbing that "Guns are more important than people..." is worthy of consideration. Sadly, it is. Our conservative politicians routinely vote against any gun restrictions. They're making the decision that campaign contributions are more important than our children's lives.

Let's cut to the chaise. Gun rights advocates are murderers. They're comfortable cashing checks in exchange for dead kids.

They don't give a shit. What's the fear? Plane-loads of Brits wearing sporty red jackets will invade our cities? We need to be ready to shot them as they deplane... Oh no, not that. Armies of Mexicans will overwhelm the southern border and throw fists full of tomatoes and romaine at us.

One of two things will happen, younger generations will either come up and look to revamp the constitution to allow gun control, or a revolution will start-up and the country will see its next civil war since 1861.

Either way it will stabilize, and then another one will break out another 100 years or more from now.

I just got my firearms a year ago. I would not say I love them but I sleep better at night and seeing the way things are going in this country I am glad I have decided to arm myself.

I would support kicking these fools out of the legislature. I wish we had legislators like that in my state.

Texaskid1 · Answer

Nothing is going to change.

1. There are too many guns.

2. Gun culture is steeped into the American mind set

3. Both Republicans and Democrats are terrified of the NRA.

4. We have few resources to deal with the unstable people in this country.

It seems Democrats are doomed. You see now the gloves are off and conservative states are going after Biden , his son, your Governor. Now falsely accuse Trump again , set up a kangaroo court , make the jurors all black. Any conviction will be overturned by Supreme Court. Game , set , Match honey buns.

Anonymous · Answer

the gun control debate has been going on for years , its doubtful opinions have changed much and most people are generally liberal or conservative anyways. so if you support gun rights your views are still the same and if you didn't like guns you still don't like guns.

As people get angry and angrier they believe that guns are the solution and the guns become more important to them than anything else, including their children. We will never be able to get rid of guns in this country.

HighValue · Answer

The legislature couldn't conduct business due to them using megaphones in the chamber. They were directly interfering with the legislature's ability to do their jobs.

More than guns, people will vote against politicians that enact abortion bans. Wisconsin, currently controlled by Republicans, voted 55-45 for the liberal judge who promised to protect a woman's right to choose.

Retardlicans are losing the future because abortion and guns. Every draconian abortion law that passed and every school shooting pushes gen z and future generations away from them. Republicunts might have won a few battles, but losing future generations means they'll lose the war.
