    Yeah that's not true, but has as much backing it.

    Shit, Teddy Roosevelt was a liberal (relative for the times of course) and I'm pretty sure he arm wrestled bears.

    A common misconception. The bears were much too frightened.

    We need to make schools a bear free zone! Think of the kids!

    It's just time to pass common sense bear control. No one should have an assault bear.

    If assault bears are so dangerous we can't overlook the fact that bears are also dangerous. Ban all bears!
    The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities.

    No, we just need to give bears to all of the teachers. The only way to stop a bad bear is a good bear!

    Question. What kind of bear is best?
    ...
    False. Black Bear.
    ...
    Fact. Bears eat beats.
    Bears. Beats. Battlestar Gallactica.

    Make the gun seller 50% responsible for any harm caused by the gun, and watch gun crime and circulation numbers drop like the boxer in snake eyes.

    They wouldn't sell it to anyone, and would need to provide training amd mental health checks etc. Both parties would have to work very hard to obtain a gun, second amendment untouched, and your kids also get to stay alive.

    Gun crime and violence is down. We don't need more regulation.

    How about no. How about people are responsible for their own actions, not the actions of others.

    Well then get your shit together.
    Get it all together. And put it in a backpack. All your shit. So it’s together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know, take it to the shit store and sell it, or put it in a shit museum, I don’t care what you do, you just gotta get it together.
    Get your shit together

    But if you held all other corollaries constant, a heavy handed national gun registry and procurement controls and hoops would force gun purchases go down, making the price of black market firearms skyrocket because it would be forced to steal guns from law abiding people more often.
