    So you are a gun apologist who doesn’t seem to care fifty thousand Americans needlessly die every year. If you do care I guess thoughts and prayers is all you got. Meanwhile no other civilized country has this problem.

    Kids get bulletproof backpacks so they won’t get shot in the back. Clearly, by your reasoning we should also be arming these kids.

    All this so far is just about gun death as well. Not about the millions of partners who are threatened into staying by gun point. Not about all the people who have lost their loved ones to guns. Not all the maiming and injuries.

    I am sure millions of people who live in fear of guns is worth those defense fantasies though. After all, once they are all armed there will be nothing to fear ever again.

      I’ve made my point, you haven’t addressed it.

      You think you get to decide that THIS group doesn’t get to join the rest. The rest are already armed, and of course that’s a good discussion to have (reducing general gun violence.) But no, here’s where you want to argue.

      🙄

        You created a defense fantasy in your head to justify moar guns. That is about it.

        Oh, I have lots of ways to reduce gun violence. The problem is your reductionist argument that the only way to ensure equality is to make sure people are killed equally doesn’t allow for it.

        I am afraid you lost the argument high ground a long time ago my friend.

          Observe, the person demonstrating lgbt+ getting guns is the redline squirms.

          Edit this is just like when Reagan stirred up sentiments against lawful black ownership of firearms in California (before he was president). How odd he didn’t raise broad societal concerns the year prior, or the year prior or the year prior

          Late edit:

          The conclusion is either you chose this thread, and this group to complain about “think of society” topics intentionally, or you are unwittingly aligned with the type of speech rightwing groups use to demonize legal expression of rights and self defence among minority groups. I’m a pessimist so I personally assume the former.

          This is not the time/place, or referred to group to be lamenting the state of gun violence in America, unless you do so in bad faith.
