Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like “liberal” and “conservative”.
A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as “to the left” or “to the right” of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

I agree with all except not owning a gun. I’m not a 2A’er, but legal and responsible gun ownership is one of our constitutional rights. The problems we have with guns right now fall directly into gun control territory, which is listed right below owning a gun on this list.
The militias are not well-regulated.
Yeah, I would be very careful how they word any mention of guns. It’s very easy to get people arguing past each other even when they share very similar views, thanks to how groups like the NRA have mucked up 2A discourse.
If only people felt as fervent about the other amendments.
Owning guns to defend yourself against tyrannical government made sense a hundred years ago … it wouldn’t make a difference in modern times.
Maybe. But, and hear me out, we do not want to make it easy for them when they inevitably come for us.
Well, I don’t even own a gun, but I think you underestimate armed resistance
2A proponents suddenly supporting the right to own ICBMs
By “suddenly”, you mean, they always have?

Theres no way the government would routinely drone people in their own county. An authoritarian regime wants control, which is achieved with boots on the ground, kicked in doors and a massive police state. All of those can be disturbed and fought with conventional firearms.
A revolver, shotgun, or other firearms without magazines are fine for most hunting and self-defense cases. I don’t have a problem with an 18yo buying one of these on their birthday. I do have major problems with a teen, or anyone really, coming in with zero history of firearm ownership and buying 1000 rounds and a semi-auto, high-powered weapon.
Agreed. First comes education. Then comes ownership. When my kids are old enough, I’m going to get them firearm classes so they at least know how it all works.
I’d be open to “opt in” classes in high school as well. I don’t believe ignorance of guns keeps you safe from them.
insane fudd take. There is nothing wrong with buying a modern firearm as your first gun.
Same, it’s not left enough for me if we’re going no arms

FWIW, I’m not telling anyone to buy a gun. I simply feel that people should continue to have that choice.
