To bear arms.

Also nobody seems interested in male reproductive rights.

Also, have you seen how leftist moderators here on Lemmy behave?

No they're not.

Okay, I'll bite. Like what?

Also, have you seen how leftist moderators here on Lemmy behave?

Do tell...

Can you see yourself right now? You're literally lying and discrediting purely based of personal impression, and that's the same behavior your whole crowd has that I have a problem with.

Why don't you cite one reference to support your bullshit?

[+] Mango@lemmy.world -8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Do I really need a reference to point out your party's major stances? FFS, do you even know them yourself, or do you just pick a color and root for your team like it's sports?

[–] hemmes@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes. You need a reference when you're talking pure bullshit. None of that unfounded crap is on the democratic agenda. That's why you can't cite a single reference.

Bullshit like yours needs to be called out every time.

Democrats believe that we can reduce gun violence while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners. We believe we should expand and strengthen background checks for those who want to purchase a firearm – because it shouldn’t be easier to get a gun than a driver’s license.

That is not taking your precious guns away, it's requiring you to not be a complete moron before acquiring one. Which is apparently why you have a problem with the proposal.

Democrats believe that we can reduce gun violence while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners. We believe we should expand and strengthen background checks for those who want to purchase a firearm – because it shouldn’t be easier to get a gun than a driver’s license. We believe we should ensure that guns don’t fall into the hands of terrorists (whether they be domestic or foreign), domestic abusers, other violent criminals, or those who have shown signs of danger toward themselves or others. And we believe we should treat gun violence as the deadly public health crisis it is.

Looks like you're the one that needs their hand held.
