1ºNufocus Bham not in Memphis. Businesses are closing or leaving because of the crime. The new mayor's plan to fight crime? Raise taxes to pay for a 60 bed mental health facility. The police chief who goes on tv to tell people not to leave guns in their cars had hers stolen out of her car and the DA is a dyed in the wool SJW. To say nothing of a judicial system that pushes the no bail reform. Recently a judge released a criminal on his own recognizance after stealing cars as well as carrying a Glock with a switch. He was later involved in a shootout with police. All blue. All idiots.
2ºAlessandro Roveda The world is constantly changing and anything can happen. We still live in a broken world full of danger and the USA in particular has more enemies than ever before. What happens if the USA goes to war and adversaries cripple its military? Or what happens if the government turns completely corrupt and overly oppressive over time? Terrorists attacks?
Also, I can grab my gun and defend my home faster than the police can arrive. Out in public, I can pull my gun out my holster and defend myself against a criminal(s) faster than police can save me.
This concept that the world is “safer than ever before because of law, order, control, and technology” is an illusion. We live in a more dangerous world than ever before. People in every country are vulnerable to danger from so any different angles. Especially the USA.
Right now is one of the most relevant times in history to own a firearm.
3ºAlessandro Roveda Being invaded was not the primary reason backing the point I made, it was just one of the reasons I listed. So I am not sure why you think I am obsessed with that. Anyways, to fact check you, the “right to bear arms” actually is a right, as clearly stated in the constitution. The founding fathers were wise and knew from experience the importance of giving the population the right to bear arms. Just study European history and why the USA was formed in the first place, then you’ll understand the importance of the right to bear arms.
4ºHow Humankind Came To Be
“...Since it’s the new year, I should have said a few festive words that everyone likes to hear, but I see danger is getting closer and closer to mankind. Because of this, Gods and Buddhas asked me to tell all beings in the world a few words that the Gods wish to say. Every word reveals heavenly secrets, and the purpose is for people to know the truth and be given another opportunity to be saved.”

Why the Creator Seeks to Save All Life
“...The Creator is the Lord of all gods in the cosmic realm, and He is the maker of the Lord of all lords, and the King of all kings. He commands all beings, including all humans, gods, and things in the Three Realms, which He has created. His love is the ultimate holy grace for sentient beings! It is the greatest honor for the world’s people to be loved by Him!”

5ºAlessandro Roveda That is correct, there are way more guns than people and the majority of Americans own at least one firearm. Which is one of the reasons why the USA is the most difficult country in the world to invade. Americans are not to be messed with. The population alone is stronger and more armed than any military in the world. You imply that guns are the problem. But they aren’t. The USA has one of the highest rates of mental illness in the world. Mental illness is what needs to be addressed. Taking guns away doesn’t eliminate the current problem and only creates new problems. It violates one of the most important constitutional rights that our Founding Fathers created. It takes away the ability of good people to defend themselves against criminals who will acquire them regardless of law. It also takes away the ability of the people to stand up in arms in the event that the government turns completely totalitarian, corrupt, and overly oppressive. Lastly, an armed population is the last line of defense if our military is crippled and destroyed by our adversaries. Considering the fact that the USA is the biggest target in the world, that gives us even more reason to be armed.
6ºThe United States' decision to veto Palestine's application for full United Nations membership is not only a reflection of its longstanding bias towards Israel, but also a stark example of its hypocrisy when it comes to promoting democracy, human rights, freedom, and justice on the global stage. This move, which is part of a pattern of repeated US actions over decades to deny the legitimate rights of more than 13 million Palestinians, has served to further isolate the US from the international community and undermine its credibility as a champion of these values.
For years, the Palestinian people have been seeking recognition of their right to self-determination and statehood, in line with international law and numerous United Nations resolutions. However, the US has consistently sided with Israel and used its veto power in the UN Security Council to block any meaningful progress towards achieving a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This blatant bias in favor of Israel is not only detrimental to the prospects for peace in the region, but it also undermines the credibility and impartiality of the US as a mediator in the conflict. By prioritizing its own strategic interests and political alliances over international law and justice, the US has effectively turned a blind eye to the suffering and oppression faced by the Palestinian people on a daily basis.
The US' repeated efforts to deny the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people have not gone unnoticed by the international community. Many countries and human rights organizations have condemned the US' actions as hypocritical and unjust, highlighting the stark contrast between its rhetoric of promoting democracy, human rights, and freedom, and its actions on the ground.
The US' unwavering support for Israel, at the expense of the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people, has only served to further alienate it from the rest of the world. The international community has consistently called for a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on the principles of international law and respect for human rights, but the US' veto power has often thwarted these efforts.
The US' hypocrisy in championing democracy, human rights, and justice while simultaneously denying the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people is a stain on its reputation and credibility as a global leader. It has become increasingly clear to the world that the US' rhetoric of promoting these values is often undermined by its actions, which prioritize political expediency and strategic alliances over fundamental principles of justice and equality.
In order to truly live up to its ideals and values as a champion of democracy, human rights, freedom, and justice, the US must reassess its approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It must prioritize the rights and dignity of all people involved and work towards a just and lasting solution that respects the rights of the Palestinian people and ensures a secure and peaceful future for all in the region. Only through a commitment to fairness, equality, and justice can the US regain the trust and respect of the international community and play a constructive role in promoting peace and stability in the Middle East.
7ºMeanwhile tens of thousands are dying because of Bidens open borders, but CNN won't report that. And millions of US Citizens are seeing their retirement accounts shrinking because of the debt Bidens failed economic policies are causing, but CNN won't report that. And Biden lies every time he opens his mouth, like his story about his uncle being eaten by cannibals he kept telling this past week, but CNN won't report that. And the far left ILLEGAL protestors blocking bridges, airports, interstates, government buildings, colleges, with numerous arrest, and many calling themselves hamas, and chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel", even at Biden campaign stops, where they called Joe, "Genocide Joe", and "Bidenomics must go".... despite being the same party......but CNN won't report that.
