A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes. This surprising consensus suggests that when it comes to immediate living environments, Americans’ views on gun control may be less divided than the polarized national debate suggests.
The research was conducted against a backdrop of increasing gun violence and polarization on gun policy in the United States. The United States has over 350 million civilian firearms and gun-related incidents, including accidents and mass shootings, have become a leading cause of death in the country. Despite political divides, the new study aimed to explore whether there’s common ground among Americans in their immediate living environments, focusing on neighborhood preferences related to gun ownership and storage.
I too, cant comprehemd the defending of authoritarianism from conservatives, either Republican or democratic conservatives (and yes, there are conservative Dem [see; Machin]).
Authoritarianism. They are defending their being on their knees. Are they just oblivious to the emasculating nature of their argument, or are they just temporarily dispossessed millionaires (when almost all the wealthy get their money thru inheritance, not earning it)/temporarily deposed CEOs.
To the defenders of heirarchy, y’all look like Dwight Schrute, you get that right? Boot licking is not a look built from pride, but double down on reason you’re right and I’m wrong, as if that changes anyone’s rightful low opinion or your character. I’ve told you how it looks, you know now, ignoring it doesn’t change it. Now you are choosing it.
