I have never bought a gun with the intention of killing someone with it. Nor has anyone else I know.
-and yet... that's the number one reason for purchasing a firearm, according to people purchasing firearms. The thing that the entire industry, itself, has gone all in on. I guess they didn't have much choice, for their part. Not alot of hunters anymore.
Do you think it might be a problem when that's the reason that people are buying so many guns, when that's the thing that manufacturers are devoting the majority of their productive capacity and marketing dollar to? When the politicians of that very same gun buying demographic are actively campaigning on post apocalyptic hellscape america and the fear of the other?
Or is it just actors with guns that are dangerous idiots...who shouldn't be allowed near guns?
