it's very hard to respect the anti-gun crowd? because they focus on banning things that don't matter?
like focusing on red flag laws so nutbags don't buy rifles, abusive fucks don't keep their handguns? yeah none of that matters. you fuckwit.
it's impossible to have any respect for the pro-dead-children crowd. you cretins deserve so much worse.
They want due process to have their personal property taken from them? Man. That’s just crazy!
Oh come on. Literally nobody is pro firearms for domestic abusers, let’s get off that straw man.
The justice system in this country is, and always has been, built on the premise that someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
This isn’t merely important for guns. It’s important for every aspect of criminal justice.
mass murder after mass murder after mass murder and you're just fine with things how they are.
You seem to be making quite the set of assumptions.
Those of us in favor of firearm ownership do actively want change - but you might be surprised to hear we want changes which actually address underlying issues rather than nonsense about magazine capacities and scary black rifle.
Cool. No one cares.
Did you have a point anywhere in that rant and hyperbole?
Ah, very rational.
It might surprise you to learn I'm quite the proponent of actually addressing underlying issues rather than clutching pearls about sCaRy bLaCk RiFLes.
You'll note this is the second time I've provided such an analysis - it seems you didn't bother to actually check before violently abusing your keyboard.
Your bullshit link doesn't do shit to reduce the number of firearms, bolo. You still can't recognize there's a math problem here and clutch to your premise even though it's flawed. Gonna block you now, because you're dumber than dogshit and genuinely aren't interested in stopping kids from getting murdered.
Unfortunately, only one of us is serious about addressing the issue - you only care about the tool used.
If someone has a nuclear warhead in their personal possession, I want the government to take it from them as well.
Nobody needs a gun, and if you do to feel safe you must accept you live in a shithole country.
