      You mean against the “take the guns first” and “blue lives matter” party, right? You’re against authoritarians being able to take guns and being able to freely murder citizens who did nothing other than possess a firearm, right?

      Why would they bother to disarm you? They make billions of dollars a year selling you guns and you’re no threat to them at all, physically or politically.

      I suggest helping implement Approval Voting and then Sequential Proportional Approval Voting so we can ditch the two party system and have more than one party that supports citizens protecting themselves without having to paradoxically supporting a bunch of policies that target citizens for harmless behavior.

        Then they shouldn’t get to vote either.

        Edit: Hmm seems like people only like gatekeeping some rights. Interesting. Personally I think if stupid people deserve one right, they deserve the rest of them too, unless they prove themselves to be a danger to society of course which also applies to “the intelligent.”

        And while we’re at it, what is your metric for stupid, not college graduates? Only engineers? “Only people who can spell, (in english)” and so fuck ESL people? Stupid is as stupid does frankly rather subjective, someone who you consider “stupid” for having bad grammar may be a math wizard, better than you, and you never knew, who then is stupid? Both? Neither? “Stupidity” is not a good enough metric to deny anyone any rights. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
