Why do liberals hate guns so much?

Why do liberals hate guns so much?

quite frankly, many are afraid of them, and fear often becomes hate. Many also lack a basic knowledge of firearms, contributing to their fear.

that must be whyi hate salad and apples

It's a psychological question, because if guns cause so much destruction (abortion and cars cause orders of magnitude more death than guns), what is it about guns that is so repulsive? Is it because their handlers say its bad so they have to say its bad too? I can't quite grasp it

...

I’m liberal and I love guns...

Most don't hate guns at all. The problem is with the retards that tend to collect them.

INB4/ Muh rights...

Few and far between

I’m a liberal piece-o-shit and frankly I don’t know ether. I’m more middle with my family both being democratic but my father being more conservative. I like them for the history and the impact they hold. Maybe it’s just they don’t wanna look like there past selfs. Like how in the 1800’s the Democrats were like republicans and vise versa.

>Most don't hate guns at all
narrate way harder

Guns are fine and fun enough, but gun culture is fucking annoying. Why do you require so many guns? Can you collect things that aren't designed to kill? Why can't you just fuck your spouse and read a good book like everyone else?

I'm a liberal and I like guns.
So much for your shitty stereotyping.

I'm a gun collector and I love guns, does that mean I'm a problem?

>Few and far between
Only about 8 inches between on my monitor.

>why do you like things I don't like???

Why is it annoying? Different guns for different reasons. You get an AR for fun, a shotgun for wild geese or turkeys, a revolver for whatever, a semi for carrying, a bolt action rifle for deer and elk

Why do you think that having "many" guns is bad?

I don't hate guns, I hate people who unjustly shoot people with guns.
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
>handlers
Good good, you can expect your NRA check any day now.

Because they've never been within a mile of one in their lives.

>fun
>whatever
>carrying

Point made.

I hate people who shoot people with guns too, but a white supremacist ran people over with a Dodge Challenger. Should I hate Dodge Challengers now?

The nazis and the Khmer Rouge shot people with guns and were murderous thugs and asshole, but why should I hate guns because of them?

I'm Liberal and love guns, but i fear other people having guns because most can't handle their car in traffic let alone an automatic rifle.

You guys really need to interact with more real people, and not paint everyone with the same brush as the cartoon characters you see represented by your chosen news outlet. Making the left out to be mainly a SJW character is as retarded as assuming all conservatives are trailer trash nazi’s.

Yes.
But you're a problem no greater than anyone else.

The shit that gets me is how the NRA defends gun rights. For instance, the NRA has argued against banning .50 caliber ammo. Who the fuck uses .50 caliber ammo for hunting? Use a fucking 12 gauge. Another thing they wanted to keep legal is the teflon coated "cop killer" rounds.
I'm all for having guns, but fuck - you need some goddamned common sense. Who the fuck is going to walk around carrying a .50 cal hand gun with teflon coated rounds? There ain't no goddamned T-Rexs in north america these days.

They lack the ability to reason past a simple thought.

This is the same reason they support things like universal healthcare or universal basic income. Both great ideas until you get to the practical part of paying for it, then it's all hard math that must just work out in the end in their minds.

Same thing with guns, it's a great idea to stick your head in the sand and think people have no need for protect, until you get in the real world and people need protection from other people and the government.

>not ruger mini 14
disgusting

My choice of personal defense is none of your, or the governments concern. In fact the second amendment isn't about hunting, its about over throwing a tyrannical government.

No, you should hate white supremacists, Nazis, and the Khmer Rouge and try to stop them from killing people.

If by liberals we mean the commonly-used name for zealous American Democrats and we're not using the term in the classical sense, as hysterical liberal twats typically demand, I would say liberals hate guns because they are, at heart, Utopian idealists, and there's no place for guns in Utopia.

>overthrowing the U.S. government with a .50 caliber
gl with that

I should be allowed to have a .50 cal because it's the people who own this country, not the government. Don't give the cops something I'm not allowed to have, people should be allowed to own big guns because it's the assertion of the dominance of the people that makes America unique

I dislike guns because it makes the police on edge because they don't know who has a gun. Literally anyone they pull over could have a gun. It makes them a lot.more trigger happy than other countries with stricter gun laws.

I do hate them, they're not my friend at all. But neither are the fucking progs trying to rob me of my God given right to own and carry a gun

Its because the sole raison d'etre of guns is to cause harm and death and destruction.

We the people agree to certain restrictions in order to form a working society. The power of the government to create those restrictions comes from us.

So you won't mind if I carry 10X whatever firepower you feel you have the right to carry.
>I want to carry a fully auto grenade launcher with nerve gas and white phosphorus grenades.

>implying there is a god
>implying the U.S. would have to listen to it even if it existed

It has to do with the difference between weak genetics and strong genetics, the weak genepools are normally wiped out by the strong, seeing as how it's illegal for that to happen, the weak continue to thrive here in America. The weaker populace is a timid creature, scared of loud noises, and their opinions easily swayed. They succumb to even weaker creatures by submitting to BLM and socialism. They don't understand that they are the weak links that make this country dying as fast as it is. They just simply don't understand that being a victim isn't always everyone's first option. We're becoming overpopulated with laws against murder. The weaker stupider population is breeding faster and faster and soon population control will take effect and they will be wiped out with the very guns they voted to ban. All will be right, OP. Don't you worry.

It's not hating guns. It's the fact that only retards that can't fight use them more than want they're intended for. UK, you are pretty based for using hand to hand combat for settling beef. Not this "I was afraid for my life" pussy American bullshit. I'm ashamed of this country.

cause disarming the populace gets them closer to Total Control.

>not all liberal hate guns, just the control freak that realize identity politics only go so far.

What cops walk around with .50 cal?

Brit living in Aus here.

I must admit, i do find the complete lack of gun massacres both in my home, and adopted, countries rather boring :(

Must be great to have mass gun killings a s a tradition America - how cool!

I dont hate guns but i get why some people do. To think that one guy could snap and just shot me plus 40 other people is a lil spooky

What restrictions are you talking about?

getting stabbed or overrun by a truck sure is alot funnier to watch

Dude, using words like 'raison d'etre' here? Really? Like, you actually think the (intellectually) 14 yo b/trds in this bread know what that means?

Isn't it the right wingers who want to give the cops even MORE military equipment?

If there is no God then I have all the more right and civil obligation to carry a gun.

When I say gun, I also mean full auto ARs or machine guns too

I'd be great if dueling was legalized once again. Don't see why it was ever outlawed. Imagine the money saved in court. But I guess that doesn't put money in people's pockets.

>to think one guy could just snap and roll a van filled with explosives at me plus 90 other people is a lil spooky

>to think one guy could just snap and rig a pressure cooker into a bomb and place at the finish line of a marathon is a lil spooky

>to think some guys could just snap and hijack a plane and put it into a tower

>to think blah blah blah

Stop being a pussy.

We don't let you just go around killing and pillaging, for example.

Communism is not liberalism

How many stabbings in the UK in since Jan 1 2017? How many running over in the same period?

Can you guess what the next question might be..?

Same reason why conservacucks hate muslims

I'll give you that

Do you want an honest answer? Because it's "the jews". But what people mean when they say that isn't "it's all of the jewish people who are all consciously 'in' on a grand conspiracy". They mean "It's the jewish pseudo-intellectuals, the pharisees, or what they now call rabbis.

The jewish encyclopedia defines modern jewdaism as "Edom". The talmud, no matter what hasbara is used against this fact, is the most wretched and evil thing ever written, filled with James Bond villain style plots to take over the world and how to treat non-jews as the non-humans that they are.

Communism/socialism is, as the rabbis say, indistinguishable from judaism. All judaism is Sabbatean in nature and all jews are in some way influenced by the rabbis, regardless of whether or not it's conscious. For the large part the jewish people are more brainwashed than the average non-jew.

They don't want you to be armed because that means you'll be able to put up resistance, and they don't want you to resist. So they push their anti everything good agenda side by side with their pro everything bad agenda via media and education. The propaganda is overwhelming. The depth and scope of this conspiracy isn't easy for most people to even entertain; it's like a painful fnord. They want to make the world a hell on earth and they don't want you to be able to defend yourself or your loved ones, literally.

Restrictions like complying with police, paying taxes, obeying laws, not blowing away 60 people at a concert. Those restrictions.

I think it's more the fact that, by design, they are a killing tool. Cars aren't, they are dangerous, but ultimately necessary at this point in our technological progress for us to function as a society. The proper operation of a firearm is intended to produce lethal force, whereas a car is transportation. Yes, guns can be used non-dangerously and for entertainment, but that's not what they were designed for specifically. The real kicker is that a responsible driver can still get in a deadly car accident, but a responsible gun owner/operator will likely not ever accidentally harm someone with one.

Right, it's the police or the national guard's job to stop that. A cop is too heavy for me to carry around so I carry a gun

Also the fact that Obama and Holder sent machine guns to ISIS in Iraq and Mexican cartels in Mexico and all the unproclaimed murders in Chicago leads me to believe that the democrats don't really believe what they themselves preach.

Liberal gun owner here. Not all of us hate guns. Only the new wave of sjw faggots.

they try to control the folks like argentina or venezuela does whit their people... gobberment doesn't like what people do... BAM MARCIAL LAW AND NOBODY GOES OUTSIDE DURING DAY OR NIGHT.....
keep your guns with you people... USA citizens are powerfull and the gobberment doesn't like that thats why those fuckers don't like you armed and prepeared to defend yourselves when they attack....

>Can you guess what the next question might be..?
yeah, take the whole EU and not just you small UK

>t's the police or the national guard's job to stop that
Yes, and we the people give them the authority to lawfully do that, to restrict your actions.

America couldn’t fuck handle Iraq or Afghanistan, what the fuck makes you think it’s military (comprised of its own citizenry with there corresponding families/friends) is going to take on the most armed populous in the fucking world. Jesus guy, I’m a fucking liberal who doesn’t want psychotics to have access to assault weapons, and I can still appreciate this aspect of the deal.

I actually think the recent shooting is a prime example of why bigger and more powerful guns should be made availible.

If every other persons at that concert had a M60, a .50 machine gun or anti-tank rifle, or any general a sniper rifle of high caliber high rate of fire heavy machine gun, then the shooter would have been taken out EASILY after he killed the first 30 or 40 people.

MORE GUNS SAVES LIVES, simple logic.

I have many guns and I never shot anyone

My guns never grew legs and shot anyone, why are liberals so deathly afraid of everything? Now they can't even handle someone talking. Look at Berkeley

>being this retarded.
Somebody listened to waaaaay too much crushed limpballs.

"raison d'etre" is a phrase, not a word. and yes some of us are not completely classless retards.

You should hate dodge challengers, they're super nigger cars, which makes it ironic that it was the car of choice there.

>automatic rifle

No guns faggot detected

If you want a repeating rifle for hunting or a handgun for self-defense, go ahead, but there is no good reason for a civilian to own a semi-automatic, or full automatic weapon.

It would be one thing if the weapons could be trusted to people on sheer pragmatism - that they would only ever be used under extreme circumstances and even then with heavy caution and restraint, but that's just not the case. Most of the individuals that amass such collections are somewhere between self-righteous and paranoid, or otherwise too accustomed to emotion-based reasoning.

If they all were safely ensconced inside their own T-62 tank, they could have easily taken the whole hotel down without a single casualty on the ground.
Heavier firepower saves lives.
obviously.

What actions would I take? Lol

I own 4 ARs (and other guns) with one slidefire ("bump stock" and 2 others that have a binary trigger build into it (one shot when the trigger is pulled, one shot when released). I've never shot anyone but I go hunting, am I really a threat?

Good luck with that, cuz they don't fucking exist.

Following on from tht logic, and with all seriousness, i actually think that tanks shoulld be legal. Not modern tanks with reactive armour and SABOT rounds (that would just be crazy!), but 1940-50's models.

Seriously though, im agine Las Vegas. Guy starts shooting. Crowd hide behind tanks, tanks return fire and the shooting is finished with only a dozen or so rounds form the assembled tanks.

FUCKING FOOL-PROOF LOGIC THERE BOYS.

FOOL.PROOF. LOGIC.

i own a handgun. i'm fairly liberal

I've also been shot before. It's unpleasant. I'd rather not go through it again, and I don't trust the average asshole with a vehicle, let alone a semi-automatic rifle.

Not sure why anyone needs a semi-automatic rifle.

No. They don't care about gun deaths, they care about control. Plain and simple

>there is no good reason for a civilian to own a semi-automatic, or full automatic weapon.

Says who? the government? You?

Better get more guns, just in case...

Speak for yourself. I understand the phrase, and I'm a classless retard.

because their soul purpose is to end life.

SeeGreat minds think alike! A very logical conclusion (fool-proof).

>America couldn’t fuck handle Iraq
I don't think Saddam would agree with that assessment.
>is going to take on the most armed populous in the fucking world
1. You assume that there would be a significant enough number of people for it to matter.
2. Any sort of organized force would be crushed almost immediately, just like in Iraq and Afghanistan. You can have guerrilla fighters carrying on an underground resistance, but you aren't going to overthrow the government that way.

Stop pretending to own a gun and just say you don't like them. Lying on the internet, fucking pathetic

>What actions would I take?
I don't know what actions you would take, it's about what actions you could take if you were not restricted, which you are.

I think he was referring to the second half of the guys post. The one blaming all the Chicago murders on Obama and shit.

so basically you're arguing for a crowd of untrained civilians firing high caliber weapons in a panic, up towards a building full of people.

are you just saying stupid shit for the fun of it?

Name a reason that makes sense in modern society without cooking up an idea of a dystopian chaos. They are weapons of war that exceed any other capacity.

>Why do liberals hate guns so much?
Because they suck dicks.

And also, if the second amendment is there to allow you protection against your own guobment, tanks are pretty mandatory. For example, how would you actually defeat a goubment who seizes and holds local food, water, petrol supplies, and cuts off all roads and bridges with tanks??

The answer, of course, is only with tanks of your own. So, its clearly within the scope of the second amendment, and is therefore a god given right for Americans to own tanks!

Cool, huh?

Guns don't suck dicks. Where did you get that from?

Name a reason why the 1st amendment should only be limited to printed paper and the voice of a human being

This is how you sound to me, restricting rights given to you to protect your republic and democracy.

Should you be allowed to have nuclear bombs?

No, it makes perfect sense. The shooter was in the bulding, and they would have shot him. Have you not ever heard of suppressing firepower?

No goodies in the hotel would have been hurt because they would know to get out the way.

Absofucking-loutely.

Can you argue against it?

Probably none or very few, but I'm also not really sure how many carry personal firearms on the job. Also .50 cals are big and heavy and not exactly the most comfortable thing to have strapped to your hip all day.

Umm...we actually can. So...fuck yeah.

Because they have an emotional development of a 12 year old.

Because once you say money is free speech, you open the door to ANYBODY with money to speak freely. Like Russia buying facebook ads becomes free speech. China or Iran could spend a billion dollars to influence an election because it's free speech.
Once you say money is free speech, you have to let EVERYONE with money speak as loud as they please.

Just checking to see if you were crazy, thanks.
>can you argue against it?
Just did.

Actually, when it is put like that, having tanks does make an awful lot of sense. Would cut crime down to literally zero i reckon, with no more mass shootings.
