So back in the 1930´s there were no laws for cars
You could go 90 mph (if your car was able to which most weren´t)
ANyways, people were just hitting each other
They were straight up hitting people crossing the road
So the government got together and said we have to fix this
They started off by stating the obvious
Cars can be banned
We have to figure out how to work around the cars
With this in mind they developed stop signs, traffic lights, crosswalks, intersections, speed limits, etc
They made laws that fixed the problem
This may sound like I am arguing the other side and say that guns aren´t the problem
No no, I am telling a story
And stories are a lot better as you contiune
It may sound like america came up with these laws
Since I never said they had an influence
Wrong, these laws were heavily influenced by other countries, specifically in Europe
Europe set the precedent for traffic laws
We followed that precedent
We saw what worked and followed suit
We didn´t just pull these laws out of our metaphorical hind-end
We copied those laws
Why?
Because they worked
Simple as that
So, I am arguing we do what we always have
Steal laws from other nations or groups of people (Example: Democrats famously champion Social Security as if it was their own, it wasn´t. It was actually a 3rd party that came up with the idea and FDR copied it. Even on the Social Security website it says FDR conceived it. Funnily enough, Roosevelt did come up with it, Teddy Roosevelt.)
It obviously works
We also know that other countries are way crazier than the united states
Australia literally had a war against the emu bird|
Germany has stricter laws than we do and they are far crazier than us
They started WW2
All I am saying is your rights aren´t being taken away
Your not giving up freedom
Your allowing society to be a safer place at the expense of a firework launcher
Seriously, if you do support gun right then you know just how important it is to use your gun safely
And right now your giving your gun to any one and everyone
I think that is wildly unsafe and to use your own term ¨unamerican¨
