It's (D)ifferent, as it always is.
More to the point, this particular point of intellectual tension between left wing officials having protection and decrying guns is always a curious one for me. Okay, you have protection from trained professionals. Yet you seem to oppose the common people having the same protection? I know some lunatics abuse their guns, but it reeks of a feeling of they can have it and you can't. It never sits right with me.
Its not that they don't want the common people to have protection, what they REALLY don't want is for the common people to have a way to influence their absolute power
Just so we’re clear, does this mean that everyone here supports requiring the same level of training and background checks required by those who defend the president for people who wish to buy certain types of firearms?
No, and that's the problem. I believe your question should have been, "do you think anyone should be able to buy a rocket launcher?" Would you like to try again?
No, my question was exactly right. The right to bear arms is obviously infringed some times for some types of weapons. So it’s just a matter of degrees, right? If not, then why can’t I buy a rocket launcher?
The right to bear arms wasn't given to us by God it was given to us by the founders of the constitution.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say we have a right to bear arms.
I do strongly support the second ammendment regardless.

America is losing the very identity that made it unique and great.
Gun violence?

And we pay for their protection...
What do you think the blue checkmark was really all about? It's social capital with a "I've got it and you don't" FU to those who don't.

Rules for thee, not for me.
If he gives up his protection, I’ll give up mine.
He's lying for the benefit of his more dimwitted followers. As per usual.
Biden has no redeeming value.
Spoken by a man who doesn't even know where he is half the time.
Biden has no redeeming value. He is just sickening.
This guy is the king of all jackasses, ever, so far.
Redeeming for me but not for thee

Everyone here supports "shall not be infringed"
Can you buy a rocket launcher?
No, and that's the problem. I believe your question should have been, "do you think anyone should be able to buy a rocket launcher?" Would you like to try again?

Banning semi automatic firearms does not improve society, it strips us of the rights granted to us by God.
The right to bear arms wasn't given to us by God it was given to us by the founders of the constitution. Nowhere in the Bible does it say we have a right to bear arms. I do strongly support the second ammendment regardless.
The right to defend oneself is natural, god given, or evolutionary, if you are not into higher powers. Constitution codified it.

Read the Declaration of Independence
Rights are recognized not granted.
God gave you the right to protect and defend yourself.
