Americans need to analyze their views surrounding guns. And take their time. It's mind-blowing to try to make them understand guns are risky, regardless of handling, trigger discipline, or any other bullshit they tell themselves. The mere existence of guns is dangerous, the bigger the number of guns out there is the amount of accidents, shootings and massacres waiting to happen out there.
Edit: yeah, pushed some buttons here. Good.
Who have you been talking to? 80 percent of Americans want gun control laws like a universal background check. For a general question of more strict laws support is at 60 percent.
Here's a former Supreme Court judge saying the conservatives have hijacked the second amendment and we in response we should repeal it.
Washington Post reports that around that same period 21 percent of Americans were ready to repeal it.
We're out here, and we're pissed. We just get angrier every time time we see a headline and every time it turns out that common sense gun laws were subverted by people in authority.
People in authority thanks to gerrymandering. The republikkklan party is a fucking joke. If you support them, you're a fucking clown and you're responsible for this kind of shit. I have been hoping for years they'd see the light and realize they're getting played, but here we are.
VOTE!! If you can, volunteer to give rides to those that couldn't vote without it.
make sure to pretend you're doing voter fraud on the internet to piss off conservatives so you can gotcha them
based. The ruling of the second is unconstitutional anyway.
For all the talk over roe v wade being "unconstitutional and the wong way to do it" the conservatives sure seem to like the second amendment.
It's funny (in a sad way) how people who frequent shooting ranges - which usually have very strict rules regarding firearm discipline and handling safety - are fine with allowing every schmuck in the world to walk around packing. If that shit is so important on a gun range, why would it be unimportant out in the world?
Let me analyze this for a minute... Nope not giving up my rights because criminals can't control themselves from committing crimes.
the mere existence of literally anything is dangerous. Guns are just uniquely primed to kill humans.
Knives scare me more than guns, just based of the pure frequency of how often people use them.
Comment deleted when I realised I was responding to lemmy.ml user.
The comment about being a cruel turd, that one’s still accurate so it stands 💅
Take your meds.
Because I’d have to be medicated or a basement dweller to have an angry reaction to that
Yes
Sorry remind me when if ever you’ve walked through a shopping center and needed to know where your safest exits were? Where you’d hide with the thickest cover? Thought about which stairwell might be safest?
Not just a shopping center. How about your workplace. Or church. Or which corner of your house you’d survive longest in.
Thought about all those things, have you? Wow congrats, aren’t you so ahead of the game.
Talking as if all my friends and family haven’t ever once given a thought to guns. What a lazy, facile, mindlessly cruel claim to make.
What a bad person with an ugly heart you are to make it.
Fuck you.
You ever been anywhere outside America or even your mom's basement?
