Shouldn’t those wanting only registered immigrants want registered guns, too?

[OddBeMe]

I hate hypocrites. How is this not hypocritical?

Yes they’re the same

They’re not the same

[Stoner710]

If that is the compromise sure. But I also would not allow the federal government do carry more powerful firearms than ths citizens are allowed to carry. I don’t want the government to be more powerful than the citizens.

The Constitution guarantees me access to guns and that right shall not be infringed upon… however it didn’t say squat about illegals. To be clear, I don’t want them registered, I want them deported.

As an immigrant I think registered legal immigration is important

[OddBeMe]

How easy was it to get registered?

[Opinion Owner]

Very easy.

[OddBeMe]

So you immigrated to the US legally, not much trouble?

In your opinion, what’s different from you versus those on the southern border?

[Opinion Owner]

I obeyed the laws of the United States I guess.

[OddBeMe]

Well, there’s some luxury to obeying immigration laws. When you’re family’s at the border with cartels and sex traffickers behind them, crossing the border illegally is kinda the only option.

[Quackthulu2]

Do you think that guns and people are the same thing?

[OddBeMe]

Policy wise yes. What’s the difference?

[Quackthulu2]

You don’t understand the difference between a living, breathing, thinking human… and a gun?

[OddBeMe]

I do, but you understand the difference in “policy” versus basic nouns, right?

[Quackthulu2]

I’m trying to see the logic in treating two vastly different things as if they are the same. Saying immigrants should be treated like guns has the same logic as suggesting that a ham sandwich should have the right to vote.

[OddBeMe]

No because simple logic says a ham sandwich can’t vote.

But we don’t register firearms, but we all hate unregistered immigrants. If you can’t see the hypocrisy in policy or politics I can’t help you.

[Quackthulu2]

And simple logic says that a person is not a gun, and yet you are still trying to make the comparison.

If your argument is that guns should be registered because they dangerous, then you should be comparing them to cars.

If your argument is that everything and everyone should be registered… well, good luck with that one.

[OddBeMe]

You and I are registered citizens are we not?

[Quackthulu2]

Any response I give to that would require making an assumption.

[msc545]

Conservatives think immigrants are more dangerous than guns - unless - they grow cops that need to be picked or cared for in other ways. In that case, immigrants are wage slaves.

[Unknown29]

For one, republicans don’t want unregistered guns. Two, do you think guns and people are the same thing?

[OddBeMe]

Meaning what? We treat immigrants worse than guns. So perhaps yeah.

[Unknown29]

Illegal immagrants? Absolutely! Drug cartels? Absolutely! Terrorist? Absolutely! Legal immigrants? No we treat legal immigrants better than any country on earth buddy.

[OddBeMe]

Not sure that’s a high bar. But people are people, legal or not.

[Unknown29]

You mean we should treat terriosts the same as law abiding citizens?

[OddBeMe]

Yes. Close guantonamo and give those fckers a criminal trial. If we don’t have proof of their guilt it’s a war crime.

[Unknown29]

Either you are one, or you got your drugs from them, because that’s the only way you make sense

[gorydetails]

Last time I checked, immigration into the US wasn’t a right.

[OddBeMe]

Neither is your citizenship.

[gorydetails]

Lol, what?

[Anonymous]

I don’t have a problem with brown people coming in. I have a problem with brown people coming in the wrong way.

[OddBeMe]

Guess I’m seeing the “right way” costing money and time the people at the border don’t have.
