So in other words, America isn’t doing well enough socially for the current gun laws to work, but Republicans will staunchly oppose any attempt to address the underlying problems and everything they can to enable mass shooters.
But your “people should be able to own whatever they want” is self-absorbed trash. Why should thousands of people have to politely tolerate the risk to their lives just so some reactionary with a limp dick can own a minigun?
There is literally nothing in it for the public. The people who wouldn’t wear a mask in a pandemic aren’t going to lay down their lives for democracy. The guns haven’t lowered the crime rate at all, they’ve just added a layer of gun violence to it. Minorities are still executed in the street by the state and if they have a gun anywhere near them, there won’t even be an investigation.
You didn’t fully read my message dude. I know this because you brought the “gun self-defense” argument into this, which I didn’t bring up. Additionally, I don’t even own a gun. I don’t trust myself with one because I’m highly likely to take my own life with it if I had one. However, go ahead and tell me how I’m self-absorbed for thinking that there are plenty of people who could be trusted with one. Then again, I crave the sweet release of death and the idea that I might not have to live another day is very appealing, so maybe I just want to get shot in a mass shooting, right?
I already laid out my thoughts on how gun control could be improved. I gave an example of a country with a similar system and it seems to be working pretty fucking well for them, and it’s something which is better than the nothing that’s currently happening.
At the end of the day though, it’s not like it matters. American politicians only respond to threats of violence or when minorities get “”“too uppity”“” and “”“don’t know their place”“”. So what’s the point? Why even bother? It’s not like the US will get any better; it’s only going to keep getting worse. Why even bother caring…

That’s fair, I didn’t.
I didn’t call you self absorbed, I called the view self absorbed.
