"The ban was imposed by the Trump administration"
But please, gun enthusiasts, tell me again about how Biden is going to take away all of your guns any day now whereas Trump is 2A all the way.
Mind control, space lasers... is there anything Soros and his evil Jewish cabal can't do?
Well that sucks because I've been a Jew all my life and no one has ever let me in on the International Conspiracy.
I don't control a single bank or movie studio.
"Lies, all Lies!" -Farbissina
Diaper Don, the "Take away their guns and worry about the due process later" guy? That Donald Trump, right?
Donald Trump, the convicted felon who admits he still has a gun he has not surrendered as is required of convicted felons?
Refresh my memory, was he talking about black people?
The comment was in this context:
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376097-trump-take-the-guns-first-go-through-due-process-second/
If memory serves, the Obama administration (the one far right was screaming for 8 years was going to take away all the guns) specifically looked at bump stocks and said they were legal.
Trump freaked out at the Las Vegas shooting and pushed the ban ASAP.
"Take away their guns and worry about the due process later”
Donald Trump.
Quoting that anti-constitution anti-gun president got me banned from a libertarian subreddit back in the day. I made it very clear I was against his position on blatantly violating the Fourth Amendment. I guess they were just extremely triggered by the quote?
There's quite a lot of people out there who don't actually have principles, they just have things they like and a team to root for.
Biden and the dems are not 2a friendly...but neither is any repub or trumpers. Both are true.
Rich people want to take away the ability of us poor commoners to resist their oppression and defend ourselves.
Yup, we all fight eaxh other for table scraps while they eat the full meal. Our fight shouldn't be us vs each other. It should be us vs them.
Edit: who the fuck is down voting this lol
In that case, it's weird that you're telling that to me and not the Trump person who replied to me who suggested the opposite.
Shouldn't you be replying to them?
Here, I'll help: https://lemmy.world/comment/10631441
Let me know when you've replied to them about it. (I won't be holding my breath.)
Apparently the way Lemmy's link creation works makes all first-level replies to your comment the same link AS your comment. So, in providing the link 'to be helpful', you only linked to your own comment. That's not actually helpful and so it doesn't come across in the best way.
And yet they knew what I was linking to because they, like me, know how Lemmy works. And you know they knew because they were talking about that post.
Oof. Nevermind, then. Tried to show you why being an asshole about it might have backfired, but keep being jaded!
Just FYI, I was responding to a libertarian regular who thinks there should essentially be no gun regulations.
Also, they're a bigot.

You might possibly be backing the wrong horse.
He can go kick rocks. I'm trying to help you.
From an outsider perspective, it looks like you told him to "go respond to this guy instead", but linked the same comment that it was already responding to. It was confusing and made you look like the asshole in the situation, which I'm trying to help prevent in the future.
I'm not sure how else to link to someone's post than to do it the only way Lemmy allows you to do it.
I read that as sarcasm for some reason
I see you have not responded to them about how Trump is not friendly toward the Second Amendment. Looks like I was correct to not have held my breath.
Again, maybe I'm reading it wrong but I thought their comment was sarcasm. The orange turnip is not a 2a advocate.
Maybe you should make sure they're aware of it just in case you're reading it wrong.
I doubt you will though. Please, do prove me incorrect on that.
bro look at the comment link you posted it is your comment link
That's how posting links in Lemmy works. It shows you the context, one link above yours.
Here is the link to the post you just made. Feel free to open it in a new tab and see I'm right: https://lemmy.world/comment/10639095
Probably best to know how Lemmy works before making such a silly criticism.
This one's just a dead link chief
Are you sure about that?
Clarence wants his cronies equipped.
And his appointed justices upheld the law.
Trump is not a friend of the 2nd. Anyone who thinks he is, is delusional. He was a big city NYC democrat for basically his entire life.
Ah, so that's proof of Trump's commitment to the Second Amendment- he violates it and then appoints justices to tell him so years later.
I can see why you're a gun-owning Trump fan.
