The most vile person can spew the worst invectives about any group and it's still not a crime (good thing for Farrakhan). If you want to make the "wrong kind" of speech and thought illegal then just say so. Until that horrible day happens you shouldn't be punished for wrong think, no matter how odious that thinking is.
All laws are a balance between public safety and personal freedom. "Assault weapons" bans, and "high capacity magazine" bans don't prevent crime. Here's the thing about criminals, they tend to break the law. The guy pulling a strong of armed robberies doesn't care that his "high capacity" magazine is illegal. He also doesn't care about the extra time it carries as sentences tend to be served concurrently and the armed robbery carries far more confinement time. So I'm in favor of good laws that target criminals, not feel good legislation that does nothing to prevent any crime but restricts the rights of law abiding citizens.
They're not part of life, they are exceedingly rare. 99.999% of people will go their whole lives without being directly effected by one.
At some point common sense needs to prevail. And when you start talking about raping and murdering and acquiring an illegal firearm while idolizing a mass shooter and matching the behavior of previous mass shooters there should be steps our law enforcement can take.
I’m not familiar with the law and all it entails. Can’t they get their guns back?
So maybe don’t be a racist mass shooter worshipping ass clown threatening raping and murdering and you won’t have to go through that stuff. Or don’t tell your coworkers you are going to get your gun and come back and kill them all. Or your classmates.
