Reagan and the NRA were all about gun control when it was Black Panthers.

I just want sane controls preventing nutbags from acquiring arsenals. I'm not anti-gun, I'm a prior service gun loving person who's watching the idiots ruin it for the rest of us.

i wish it was less about posturing, and more about the underlying fundamental reasons.

You're a republican that owns a gun, that's cool, i didn't ask, lets go do something that we can enjoy together instead.

posturing, and more about the underlying fundamental reasons.

this is why we fail: you assume it's posturing. it's not fucking posturing.

that article is cool and all, but please try to explain to me how the intrinsic and very explicit link, between republican politics, and 2A, isn't political posturing in some manner.

You may not be. But there is a very clear tie between the conservative rhetoric, and 2A. If it weren't political posturing the issues that i was talking about, which do exist (go have a look at some of the comments on this video), would not be happening. As it wouldn't fucking matter.

none of this - gun safety, sane gun policy - is a political issue. Mr 9mm doesn't stop to ask your political affiliation before it blows through your cranium.

Do you think 5.56 or .223 give a flying fuck if the rifle shooting them was wielded for political gain?

"ooh boo hoo I think you're making it political" yeah well get fucked, no matter your affiliation, if you think more dead kids is a political issue. sick.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

yeah, but inevitably people make it political, for some fucking reason. That's my problem.

Bzzzt, nope, I am not a republican.

why are you so afraid to address the issue?

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

to be clear, i wasn't referring to you specifically in that statement. It was a generic expression intended to make my point more obvious.

Also what issue? Gun violence? Yeah that's an issue. I'm not hear to talk about that though.
