Just a reminder, the Democrats, who have largely exclusively pushed for gun laws, have given us the following mess:

Guns must cause ear damage -- devices which lower the sound to just below the threshold of causing ear damage are illegal.

Guns with barrels less than 16" must be designed in a way that they are extra hard to aim, making it a much higher risk that you will shoot someone accidentally... Only guns longer than 16" can be easy to aim.

Yet somehow people are baffled when I say the democrats have largely done more harm to the topic of gun control than good... every time they propose or pass a law it is complete nonsensical, largely because they dont even bother to under the very thing they want to legislate.

@freemo that's what it means to be a democrat.
Uninformed and aggressive about it.

@Pantangelini same for republicans.. the only difference between the two is which topics they choose to be uninformed and aggressive about.

@freemo what topic are democrats informed about?

I can't think of one.

@Pantangelini

Neither the republicans or democrats are particularly informed about too much sadly... I mean most people just arent that bright.

@freemo hahaha.

Just take the L dude.

Why is it so hard to accept there are no topics that democrats are actually informed on.

They have no Thomas Massie types.

They are an uninformed mob.

Accepting this is not an endorsement of the gop, its just accepting reality.

@Pantangelini

You a little off or something? At no point did I say democrats were informed on anything, I said the opposite, that, like the republicans, they are rarely informed. In fact that was what the whole point of the original post.

You are literally arguing against something no one disagreed with you on...

@freemo
I didn't bring up republicans.
And it's not remotely like the republicans.
Some of them are informed on 2a.
And many are informed on things like abortion, taxes, etc.

You stated.
"same for republicans.. the only difference between the two is which topics they choose to be uninformed and aggressive about."

Which suggests an idea that dems are uninformed on some things, gop on others.
Or that it's a equal and opposite situation.
Which it isn't.

Hope that clears it up.

@Pantangelini

Ok.... which has nothing to do with what you continued to argue a m,oment ago, which was that the democrats were uninformed. stated this several times times... weird, wonder why I wasnt able to read your mind...

So what you meant when you kept saying "Why is it so hard to accept there are no topics that democrats are actually informed on." was actually "Hey im offended you pointed out that republicans are idiots cause im one of them!", gotcha!

I dont really care if your a republican or democrat, but at least say what you mean, not something completely unrelated then act surprised you confused people.

@freemo

This is all I meant.

that's what it means to be a democrat.
Uninformed and aggressive about it.

Has nothing to do with Republicans.

You started the confusion due to an reluctance to accept my statement and include a bs "but republicans" statement that isn't accurate.

@Pantangelini

Right and I would say if you think that is exclusively a democrat thing, your wrong, and you did a poor job at conveying it at first but you are conveying your opinion more clearly now at least.

@freemo there are uninformed Republicans.

Lots of them.

I can't say there are informed democrats.

Take abortion.

Republicans actually understand the topic at hand.

Democrats don't, they simply scream hypnopaedic messages that they don't comprehend but feel morally superior for screaming at people.

@Pantangelini

I dont usually see republicans or democrats understanding abortion too well. Most republicans are completely against it taking it to one extreme, largely citing religious basis. Democrats go to the other extreme being ok with no limits of any kind on abortion. Both seem pretty ignorant on that particular topic.

@freemo republicans often understand the premise of the discussion with regards to life and the role of the state with regards to human rights and protecting the existence of human rights.

They can comprehend an arguement of sentience and vehemently disagree based on religion.

I've never had such an experience with a democrat

@Pantangelini

Republicans literally invoke imaginary people int he sky as the only argumentative point for most of them when they discuss abortion... while there is a valid argument about restricting abortion republicans rarely if ever have the wherewithal to invoke it.

@freemo
I dont believe you have talked to a republican based on this statement
