In 2015 the state of Maine passed the Constitutional Carry Law. This allowed gun owners to carry a firearm with them without a special permit. Critics said it would increase crime. They were wrong. By 2017 Maine was the safest state in the country.

There are so many dangerous things people around you have access to. Radioactive clocks, ammonia and bleach, gasoline, flamethrowers, and on and on. Yet these cause almost no issues. Furthermore, outlawing something does not prevent someone from getting it. The idea that you view it as “allowed to have” means you are living your life like a slave, just hoping your master is generous. Everything about this comment shows a backwards and confused worldview. Try trusting your countrymen. You’ll be amazed that they are actually trustworthy without prior restraint from the nanny state.

So why can't we have rocket launchers?

So why can't we have rocket launchers?

For the same reason that you can't decide what to put in your own body. Because the constitution has long since stopped meaning much, and we are slaves in our own land. And all that is because the average person lacks critical thinking skills and just eats propaganda for breakfast, lunch and dinner on all forms of (traditional and social) media.
