No, because this has been her view all the way up until the debate, then changes it to sound moderate. You can believe it, that’s fine. I don’t. Again I do not care about Trump. He is not my candidate, I’m not voting for him.
Here is the difference, can you show me video proof, multiple times, that he wants to incorporate Plan 2025 as his full agenda, he loves it, he was apart of it, anything like that?
I show multiple instances that Kamala is for something, yet everyone on the left comes and tries to defend her. Trump doesn’t say anything about plan 2025, yet you tie it to him and say this is him and this is what he believes.
Is it okay for Kamala to change her deeply rooted beliefs in mandatory buybacks just for the debate, but Trump can’t change his mind on Topics? I don’t get the double standard.
This is why I don’t believe you should fully invest in a candidate, it’s hard to have an open mind.
For what it is worth, I am not invested in Kamala in the least. I am invested in NeverTrump. I am playing devil's advocate on this topic, and pointing out that politicians change what they say all the time. It is the nature of the beast. Anything to get elected is the mantra of both sides of this thing, and it has been that way, more or less, since at least the Reagan years. Carter and Ford may have been the last 2 presidents who actually got elected on morals and holding to those morals. Everyone since has been on the train of riling up the base to get the vote. Trump touts becoming a dictator to rile up his base, Kamala touts taking all the guns. I guess by this you tacitly would rather have a dictator. Ok then.
But I, for one, in the topic of gun control, I am in the camp that we need to do something besides bury our head in the sand every time someone opens fire in a school. I am tired of the rhetoric that the 2nd amendment is just short of divine scripture and can never be adjusted or regulated, because the founding fathers entirely envisioned semi-auto weapons in schools and just knew that we needed random dudes with hundreds of guns and millions of rounds of ammo to "defend" us against tyranny, and millions of guns on the street and available at every gun show so anyone who felt they needed to shoot up the place had easy access, right.
That is all simply ******** and anyone who thinks through it even superficially will see it is full on ********. But they don't. Their guns are their God-given religious right to own and hoard and gift to disturbed youngsters for christmas presents or leave unlocked where said youngters have full access. In short, the old mantra of "I would rather see 1000 guilty men go free than send 1 innocent man to prison" can be rewritten as "I would rather see 1000 school-aged children be shot to death than give up even the tiniest bit of my complete and total 2nd amendment religious right". It is ****ing ludicrous and you know it. So, I am digging deeper to see what Kamala really believes, but even if she fully intends on enforcing a forced gun buy-back I realize that 1) it is more than highly unlikely, in fact damn near a certainty, it will not be allowed by congress or the senate and DEFINITELY not by the (right-owned legislating-from-the-bench) supreme court when it is inevitably challenged and 2) because of 1 it is damn near a certainty she will never even attempt anything on that level to begin with, so yes her most recent rhetoric is highly likely to be closer to what she will DO regardless of what she BELIEVES.
But you know what, maybe that is what is needed. What well-regulated militia are we supporting with some individuals having hundreds of guns, so many guns that we are likely to never get them all off the street, and what power exactly are we protecting ourselves against? Do we really think that a bunch of red-necks (me included, I am a gun owner, I love my guns, I keep them locked away and love to go shooting whenever I can) with an armory will be able to stand against the military might of the United States if they think it comes to that? See this is the part that gets skimmed over and ignored by the entire gun lobby. This part is severely out of date for the times. Our founding fathers never envisioned a time when owning guns would be nearly more ubiquitous than owning pets.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”.
The reason for keeping and bearing arms is to be part of a well-regulated militia. So why don't we just do that? Make it so that in order to own any guns, you have to apply to a well-regulated militia, with standards of admittance such as no felonies, no violent crimes and a mental health evaluation, etc., then anyone who passes muster can get a gun. Make it like the military reservists, they have to go through exercises and training once a month, be trained in the proper use and storage of guns, and be subject to a bi-annual re-certification process including physical inspection of their home or wherever they keep their guns, including providing a list to the militia to ensure everything is on the up and up, all from an independent non-partisan body. Can we get behind that?
But the reason to keep and bear arms is not "muh rites". It just isn't.
So yeah. I fully admit it sounds like she is in favor of a forced buy-back. I will give it to you and admit she is lying her ****ing *** off about it, that everything she has said since the debate is full bull-**** and she intends on day 1 signing that executive order. Yep. And if that is enough to scare you into not voting for her, then I hope you can read about the next school shooting with a clear conscience and accept that the price of our unlimited and religious right of keeping and bearing arms is around 1,000 dead children annually. So maybe her plan gets nixed, but it is enough to prompt a REAL and HONEST discussion around gun control, that actually nets something real. Maybe that is worth the fight.
And what is the alternative? Is it worth more dead kids for you to cast your vote into the ether?
I guess it is.
Just note, by no stretch of the imagination am I of the delusion we can actually fix the gun problem, and most definitely not by just electing Harris, but we have to ****ing try. At least ****ing try. And we know Trump will never have that on his agenda. But it needs to be part of the agenda. Otherwise we all just have to accept that we are sacrificing thousands of kids on the Altar of the Holy Worship of Guns.
