Mass immigration causes brain drain which negatively effects developing regions
So the America first party all of a sudden is against smart people leaving bad countries and heading to the US?
we also make things easier for corrupt governments by taking their dissidents as opposed to leaving them in a place where they can fight and fix the government.
It takes a massive amount of balls to claim that if you were in a bad nation, than you would litterally fight to restore the government. 75 million Americans thought the election was rigged and their government was being tyranical; like 2000 of them actually showed up on Jan 6. If you think the government repeals the 1st amendment, then you really think you are going to risk your life for the right to utter sentences? You have massive amounts of delusions of grandeaur. NYC had the vax mandates (I was anti mandate in 2021 and I thought it was unjustified government control). If I was living in NYC; you really think I would have assasinated Eric Adams over it? You crazy?!?!
long prison sentences reduce crime and make communities safer
But they cause a lot of pain to prisoners (I'm not talking about murderers or rapists, but people in jail for smoking weed). Smoking weed should not get you a life sentence.
It makes people less susceptible to being raped.
How in the hell is an AR 15 going to protect a woman from being raped? It's harder to carry (especially for a 5'3" woman). She is less mobile; making it easy for rapists to attack her. She's better off just buying some pepper spray. Millions of women open carry pepper spray for rape protection. I've been to constitutional carry states before; not one woman (or man) I've seen open carries an AR 15.
I support the right to open carry an AR 15; but it's such a pointless right. Imagine you lose the AR 15 somewhere and some asshole gets your gun. There is a reason why you don't just see people (outside of media stunts to virtue signal about guns) open carrying AR 15s.
Don't be a rapist and you don't need to worry about if the woman you are attacking has one
If I was a rapist, then I would love my victim to rely solely on an AR 15 for "protection"; she will have an extremely hard time getting it and then I can traumitize her. She would even be afraid to use it because she may end up shooting at other people; I can use them as human sheilds just like Hamas!
