      Yeap, the fed can stop selling guns, no problem. They are not going to takr the guns you own are they? That is what banning would be. Are they caking your books? Nope, just like they are not taking your guns.

        so, if I’ve understood you correctly - once you buy one single gun, there is no need to buy any other gun? nor for anyone else to buy a gun as they could just use your gun?

        do you envision it like one gun for the whole country? or per state? would you use like a calendly link to book the gun?

            ok, don’t force anyone to support a war machine they don’t want. don’t force anyone to support roads they don’t want built. don’t force anyone to build hospitals, or fire stations, or schools, or sewers, or cut down trees, or maintain a police force.

            what you seem to be missing is that I’m not literally claiming we should actively do things I’m saying

            I’m making fun of the ridiculous points by making equally spurious suggestions in the other direction. my intention isn’t to convince anyone that my comments are the correct course of action, they are simply mocking the ideas by parroting and rephrasing the sentiment.

              As long as books dont have sexual content kids can read them. The LGBTKN%¥M£ guys cant stand having a book without sexual content, why?

                well, every religious text- including the Bible would be banned. Which I’m not that bothered if someone doesn’t read the Bible until they’re 16, but also I understand that presents significant problems for a lot of society.

                But also surely you can see the folly in saying “why do Christians need such a pornographic and violent book to praise God? Are they perverts?” it’s obviously an inflammatory and ill-considered statement

                And how are you defining sexual content? is “Billy’s Mommy and Daddy gave birth to Billy’s new sister, she is a tiny baby” sexual content?

                It describes a sexual relationship between two people, but in a way I’d consider appropriate for a 6 year old.

      Yes you can force the government to stop selling guns bought with tax payers money. What a stupid take.
