I understand guns are big part of many Americans culture and history. Including my own family. I grew up shooting guns and having my father teach me about how to clean them and handle them safely since I can remember. — PolitiTweet.org

The second amendment also says “shall not be infringed” however I would argue the gun violence caused by an unregulated militia is actually an infringement on the Second Amendment. If you are dead, you cannot practice any of your rights, including the second amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

45,000 gun deaths a year is not what a well regulated militia looks like. In order to ensure the domestic tranquility it is essential to have an actually well regulated militia. But that is not what we have. — PolitiTweet.org

It was not until DC v Heller in 2008 that the Supreme Court had ever made a decision to expand gun rights instead of restricting them through the regulation of our militia. That’s over 200 years post 1776 Prior to Heller- basically every ruling regulated our militia more. — PolitiTweet.org

For context when the framers wrote the constitution there were several state constitutions that included explicitly an individuals right to own a gun. But they did not include that explicit language of being an individual right in the constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

the second amendment states: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” — PolitiTweet.org

Many will say “well people will still get guns illegally” but by that logic, why have any laws in the first place? It’s because it can stop some- even if not all people from behaving in a harmful way. Prevention and a reduction in gun deaths is better than nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

My classmates will never get to practice any of their rights because one individual was able to legally obtain a gun because of our governments failure to protect the domestic tranquility through the regulation of our militia. — PolitiTweet.org

Murder is the ultimate infringement of a citizen’s rights and the domestic tranquilly as citizens cannot practice any of their rights if they are not alive. — PolitiTweet.org

It says “insure domestic Tranquility” , from this we know one main purposes of the constitution was to protect the American people and the rights of (at the time a very small group) but now all people. — PolitiTweet.org

The Constitution’s preamble lays out the guiding principles and purpose of the document- it states: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, [continued below] — PolitiTweet.org

Thread: Your “right” to own an AR-15 does not supersede others right to exist and practice their rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Other countries have guns as a huge part of their culture and many own guns but they don’t have near as many shootings because they have the right rules. We can do the same — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
Your right to own a gun with little regulation matters a lot less to me than the rights my classmates had before they were killed. Limits on rights start where they infringe on others to practice theirs. No right is absolute We have a right to not be shot. — PolitiTweet.org

If you need a license to drive car, cut hair or to hunt you ought to need one to buy a gun. — PolitiTweet.org

Other high income countries have mentally ill people and people with hateful beliefs. The difference is it’s a hell of a lot harder for them to get guns. — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
In no other high income country has any where near the level of school shootings we do. It’s not because they have armed teachers, clear back packs or police in every school. It’s because they regulate guns and focus on stopping shootings before there’s a shooter on campus. — PolitiTweet.org

@tmann0419 @burgundy202 I know you almost certainly don’t agree that is fine but there are nuances here you may not be aware of still doesn’t mean we don’t see each other as human. I respect that you do not agree that’s ok. We can settle this at the ballot box and in the meantime get a beer. — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
@tmann0419 @burgundy202 I hear you. Personally I believe all rights have limits. You have rights the same way my classmates did. We don’t just focus on gun control we also focus on getting programs that help stop people from wanting to pick up a gun in the first place too and enforcing laws better. — PolitiTweet.org
