If more people have assault weapons in the hypothetical case that the US becomes tyrannical, conflict between citizens and the military will be forced. Forced conflict, rather than citizens not revolting and having their rights surrendered makes these military units more likely to mutiny*, and encourages citizens to fight against the government because they know people have access to these assault weapons. The main point is that having assault weapons encourages forced conflict in the face of tyranny, which makes fighting a war on citizens harder.

*Mutiny because US soldiers would probably not be okay with shooting their neighbor.

also as a point to rocketslay, a lot of Americans feel they shouldn't need to justify their right to own guns, no matter how advanced they become.

This is where I disagree with you. I don't think that assault weapons are deserving of an all out ban. I have this opinion because they really never accounted for a high amount of murders in this country, or even a high amount of gun murders . Perhaps a better compromise would be a special permit for assault weapons that is difficult to get, only allowing it to be home/taken to ranges, but not impossible to acquire

A big problem I see in my home-city of New York is that they make it near impossible for you to acquire a concealed carry permit for pistols, having to state a reason for owning the gun, and having to go through grueling red tape and months of waiting before you get your permit. I would like to see this end, and while Trump hasn't said anything specific on this issue, I don't see him not addressing it in the future.

Another thing I would support is if Trump made all states recognize a ccw permit from any state. Again, not sure if Trump has said anything of this but it wouldn't surprise me if he would.

Why do you have to insult him here? I agree with you on policy but you don't have to be an asshole about getting your point accross..

2. It was in the 100 day plan

I assume this means improve the background check system?

Also how exactly is lifting bans on suppressors/high ammunition magazines bad?

4. Can you go into detail on what you mean? Im confused on what you mean and even on what Trump means by using the words "criminal illegals".

He has also released his plans to withdraw from the TPP, fund clean water and infrastructure improvement, and lift bans on increased gun magazine sizes and suppressors while trying to improve the current background-check and mental health systems.

What interested me most about his plans to deport illegals is that in his 100 day plan he called for the deportation of "criminal illegals", which means he might only deport illegal immigrants that have committed crimes.

I like most of these plans, especially the lift on suppressor bans, as anyone with any knowledge on guns knows that suppressors only serve to protect the ears of people shooting the guns and don't really make the gun "silent".

A fair amount of Hillary supporters are being retards by violently rioting and burning flags I the streets.

A fair amount of Trump supporters are being racist towards people and gloating in the face of his win.

Both sides need to:

Not act like this, and win/lose gracefully and focus on how we can move forward and progress as a country. It helps nobody to just say "look how shitty Clinton/Trump supporters are , they're ALL violently rioting/ being racists in the face of the election! We need to stop making retarded blanket statements that loop all Trump supporters and Hillary into one stereyotope because it's simply not helping.

Saying that either party bases all of their policy on feelings/morals is not really true. Both the Democrats and Republicans base a lot of their policies on moral issues (such as abortion for the right and lgbtq issues for the left). And again, both sides contest each other's "moral" issues with moral responses. There are also numerous "non-moral" issues that both sides tackle (the economy for both sides). You can't just say that one party is morally driven and the other isn't.

And are morals necessarily a bad thing? The whole idea of "rights" have a base in morality itself. It is hard to escape "moral politics" because it really spreads into a lot of issues.

Cool guy, pretty good at TF2, a lot of potential.

Get him on a good team guys

I mean based on Trump's voter demographics I find this unlikely, as older working-class men and women don't have the time or energy to protest as violently as Clinton supporters are right now.

It doesn't have to be about race; the fact that we care more about what "side" we're on and how hard we can cause violence in the wake of an outcome we don't like (or like) is the problem. We need to have actual discussion between both sides and not just mindless aggression to each other because at the end of the day we're all living in the same country and we have to work together to try to benefit all of us.

It is ok to be upset with the current president-elect and to show your disappointment but actions like these, and crazy inflammatory reactions such as wanting to secede from the union are appalling and help NOBODY. It can't be stressed enough that whoever is our president we can't keep polarizing our nation and fighting amongst each other. This doesn't mean we can't argue amongst each other to find out what is best for our country but rather that we can't look at someone's views and reject all discussion and compromise. If we don't stay united than we will never make progress.

To be fair me Percy and viper only got like 1 hour bans but still the shit we got banned for was silly banter and we definitely should not have gotten banned for it..

I would also assume he would hit Mexico with harsh tariffs if they refuse..

This isn't your fault

People have the right to say whatever they want to, but people also have the right to leave a community they find hostile. You can't just treat someone like garbage and then get upset when they leave you. Treating people like shit only weakens the already struggling tf2 scene..
