The truth remains arm more isn't a solution. I am sick of the paranoid fucking crybabies treating prevention as being the same as a presumption of guilt.Also considering Suicide is an act of self directed violence it still counts .
And like most gun injuries and deaths, the act starts with a LEGALLY PURCHASED firearm. That says to me we suck as a nation at vetting to prevent even suicides with a firearm.
And I am glad none of these worshipers raised me knowing I suffer from anxiety and depression, I am lucky my mom learned from my drunk dad who shot his 38 with me in the room as a kid. If it were not for her quick action back then in pulling me out of the house, not sure I'd be here today.
Arm more is not a solution. And I never get a good answer if that is their argument, how many firearms would be enough, because we already have 300 million out there already.
True. But again, the truth has been since the late 70s the NRA leadership is a profit lobby paid by the corporations who make those products to protect the market and profits of the industry.
If they were the safety org they started out as, they would care about better vetting at the time of sale to prevent any type of firearm injury or death.
