The Illinois State Supreme Court found a strict assault weapons ban passed after the Highland Park shooting to be constitutional in a ruling issued Friday.

        Can you enlighten me on that? How does it work if you want to ban “assault weapons” and defund the police? Isn’t that counter intuitive? A police state is almost required to enforce the laws that are put in place like this. I have a difficult time understanding how that works.

          Enlighten me on where I said those words in that order. Even paraphrasing.

          What absolutely blows my mind are the gun sucking, boot munching morons who somehow simultaneously hate any kind of government overreach but would let a cop do anything they wanted to anyone they knew without blinking an eye. Now how does that make any sense? I thought we had the second amendment to protect ourselves? Are we really always gonna rely on fucking obese white supremacist Copper Dan to help in our time of need? Those goddamn little removed babies in Uvalde certainly didn’t rise to the occasion, what makes you think they’d do anything to help you?

          I have a difficult time understanding how that works.

          I fail to see how that’s my problem.

            My bad for assuming that we were engaging in mature discourse about gun restriction enforcement and who is responsible for it.

            It’s clear now that you’re not interested in a conversation. Your just looking for someone to nod their head and agree with you instead of asking questions.

              Yes, it is your bad for asking stupid questions. Gun restriction enforcement is done by the government.

              Nice attempt to take the high road though. Acting like you’re better than everyone else on the internet won’t fix anything.
