Don’t waste your time. People here aren’t looking for a rational discussion. This is the “shit on anyone who values their own safety” thread. Most of these commenters have only ever seen guns on the news, in the hands of criminals, who obviously don’t give a shit about these new laws.
I used to have to listen to my neighbor doing target practice with his semiautomatic pistol until his stepdaughter took a secret video of him beating the shit out of her mom and gave it to her teacher. He got all his most favoritest fancy boy toys taken away and now I just have to listen to him loudly fussing about it and blaming everyone but himself for it happening.
He’s an Olympic level removed muffin with no sense of personal responsibility or care for the safety of others. Everyone I know who owns semiautomatic weapons is pretty much the exact same garbage personality type. Or a cop.
You have just described the process of making yourself prejudiced. Does it feel nice to know that you harbor prejudice against your fellow American citizens, millions of us?
Interestingly enough, most gun control laws disproportionately disarm people who aren’t in the demographics you listed. In fact, historically, gun control has usually been used to disarm minorities so they can more easily be intimidated, harassed, and murdered. Which side of history are you on? The side that empowers minorities, or the side that disarms them and prevents them from choosing any path other than victimization?
Yeah, that needs a citation. I’ve heard this point parroted time and again, but never have seen data demonstrating it.
Minorities are getting killed by police, whether they’re armed or not.
…victims were unarmed in 1 in 6 (753;16%) fatal shootings. Rates among unarmed Black and Hispanic victims were significantly higher than they were among White victims: more than 3 times as high and 45% higher, respectively.
As to your pointed question - I want to be on the side of history that puts an end to daily mass murder events. Which side of history do you want to be on?
From 1917 to today, over 37 million people have been killed by fascist and Marxist dictators. Disarmament of the public is a favored preemptive tactic that they employ. I intend to be on the side of history that isn’t so victimized.
The link you shared is great evidence that our police forces, local, state, and federal, need to be disarmed. An armed police officer is significantly more dangerous than an armed civilian.
Sweetie, if you identify with the wife beating man child who blames everyone but himself for his DV charge, that probably says something about you.
I was responding to the person above who said “Most of these commenters have only ever seen guns on the news, in the hands of criminals, who obviously don’t give a shit about these new laws.” I was sharing the experiences I’ve had with semiautomatic pistol owners.
But I’m ever so sorry if you feel you are a part of the group I was disapproving of and it gave you a sad. Please don’t come to my house and shoot me 🙏 🥺

Everyone in the neighborhood is now safer because that fucktard can’t go blowing holes in his walls when he gets scared at night.
Maybe you should keep better company.

Waaaaaaah someone else doesn’t liiiiiike me. My heteronormative Christian toxic masculine riiiiiiiights, you’re preeeeeejudiceddddddd. Waaaaaaaahhhhh.
That’s you. That’s what you sound like.
Cops, white people, men, and christians have all the fucking power in the US.

Where’s your data?
Couldn’t give half a shit what you think about it. I’m enjoying my privilege here regardless.

That’s what you said that I was responding to specifically. None of the other stuff is relevant to anybody but your shitty neighbors.
