Shouldn’t matter. Gun violence is gun violence whether or not it’s gang related. I’d there a reason we’re making the distinction? Or does their skin color matter to you that much?

As the one making such a distinction, you should direct that question towards yourself. Peacefully exercising one's rights isn't a form of gun violence, as you originally suggested.

>Or does their skin color matter to you that much?

Skin color must matter a lot to you, as you felt the need to mention it

Nope. I said that criminals shooting people with illegal / stolen firearms has nothing to do with the 2A or individuals exercising their rights, as you originally suggested.

>Should a person who stole a pack of gum deserve death? Or should a woman who decided not to wear a hijab in Iran anymore deserve death? What crime removes my right to have my day in court?

Not sure how this has anything to do with the previous conversation, but it's interesting that you mention Iran within the context of you questioning the right of individuals to bear arms. If the Iranian citizenry were armed, the Iranian government wouldn't be getting away with a fraction of the crap it's pulling right now

Ah, so the 2nd amendment is for shooting anyone we don't agree with. Gotcha. Maybe I completely read that part wrong. Also, maybe I replied to the wrong comment, but you people are all the same. 2nd amendment is the most important right above everything. If someone is labeled a criminal they deserve whatever's coming to them. Oh and you're pro "life." I was using those as examples as to when do I should I just be shot by any old person who thinks I've broken the law? After all if I steal a pack of gum I am a criminal by your standards and if I get shot by the cops oh well. There's much to callous a disregard of human life online and it sickens me.
