^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All fucking bullshit whack a mole reactions by the truly insecure assholes on the right who refuse to see the real issue in that we have a flooded market and ease of access epidemic. The sickos on the far right have a slavish cult worship of an object. Objects are not humans. Humans have rights, but objects do not have rights, but the far right treats those objects as if they were living beings.
I agree that many have a fetish for guns, and many have this complex of being a hero.
To your view on rights...................I am not so sure that we would agree on this point................I for one do not believe that we have "rights" like so many think. It really boils down to this: you have the "ability" to do whatever you want, until someone or something decides that they dont want you to have the "ability". The idea of a "right" is based upon what side of the arguement you are on. Rights are ideas, and not tangible things. Do you agree?
I will also add, that I would like to reduce gun violence aswell, but I am not sure that violence will be diminished as a whole.
This is half assed olive branch dodging. We have the highest volume of firearm deaths among our wealthy nation ally peers. Why? Because a small minority of fucking assholes are holding our nation hostage. There is a "right" in this argument and fuck you for claiming it is point view ..... PTSD is a very real thing and not simply an "idea". Turning our society into a shooting gallery has a very negative effect on health, and mental health especially. That isn't a "point of view".
"I am not sure violence will be diminished as a whole." <----- Siri gibberish translator " Other bad things happen so lets not do anything at all."
I agree, violence in general will not go down with your bullshit attitude. With the money we spend cleaning up after every one of these events, could be spent on conflict resolution skills and critical thinking skills being taught in public schools, that could certainly help reduce violence of all kinds. Not making firearms like candy could help. Not handing firearms out like candy could help. Lots of things we could be doing but cant because a fucked up selfish few.
