I vote left, and support a bunch of socialist policies... I also am a die hard pro2a supporter....you on the other hand are willfully ignorant because you didn't like the outcome of a case that had firearms involved, so you went full maga...never go full maga.
Deal with the fact that a large and growing portion of the left in this country is armed and continues to purchase arms.
An armed minority is harder to suppress.
Congratulations on combining three logical fallacies (strawman, third-cause fallacy, and ad hominem) in one sentence. You must be so proud of your excellence in illogic.
He planned to murder people. Then he murdered people. Then the judge overruled evidence proving that it was premeditated and thus disproving his self defense defense.
I don't disapprove because he used a gun to carry out his murders. I disapprove of murder and helping murderers be unjustly acquitted.
Though Republicans would have celebrated him less for it, I would disapprove just as much if he had used a knife like that other famously acquitted murderer. The one from the first Naked Gun movie.
And an armed minority is also much more likely to use the gun on itself or have the gun used on itself by someone else than to successfully use it in self defense.
It's like one of my favorite dark jokes:
"My dad had a gun. He said he had to have a gun to protect his 5 kids. Of course, he later had to get rid of the gun to protect his 4 kids."
Lol sure... you're about to do exactly what I said right below in the next quotes lol
Lol no he didn't, or are you saying that the jury of his peers acquitted him because it was a conspiracy?
Lol you don't know what murder is apparently. You just made shit up because you're mad that self defense of domestic abusers, child molesters and felons... attacking a single fleeing person didn't go how you wanted it to... because you don't like guns.
Are...are you really trying to compare OJ's trial to the hours and hours of footage from Rittenhouse case? Lol holy fuck you're being ignorant.
Lol fuck off with that shit. That's such an anti-2a talking point. It's like saying people with pools drown more often than people without pools....yea no shit.... correlation doesn't equal causation. I thought you were smart enough to know this...guess not.
Also Malcolm X and the black Panthers would like a word.
This is you:
All guns should be taken away from citizens, only the military and police should have them.
Trump is a fascist.
Why are the fascist now stuffing me into an oven...
I was about to go through your litany of lies, distortion and pure willful ignorance point by point, but ultimately you're not worth it as there's a 0% chance of you paying attention since you've already made up your mind.
In the end, you came up with the only appropriate answer I can give you to all of that without wasting even more time on you than I already have:
Removed, civility.
Nah, I've just wasted most of the day arguing in good faith against bad faith and I'm fucking exhausted. I don't owe them the few spoons I have left for the day.
Removed, civility.
Nope. That's just not true. Now leave me the fuck alone.
I see I'm not the only person calling you on your bad faith argument bullshit. Clearly, we're all the problem, not you. I'll leave you the fuck alone since I'm blocking you.
Lol says the user who literally ignores a verdict by a jury
Sure you do. You keep putting your head in the sand kid.
Nope. The jury was instructed to ignore key evidence that proved premeditation and thus disproved self defense. Due to that, they were not legally allowed to deliver a guilty verdict.
I'm not ignoring the verdict, I'm pointing out that it's incorrect based on the totality of the evidence.
Says the one ignoring key evidence and the suppression thereof 🙄
Lol no they didn't
Did you even watch the trial? Do you think he killed 2 minorities as well?
