      That’s all well and good, maybe guns are inherently problematic. But since no one is paying attention to my wording I’ll just say it:

      Right wingers and neo-fascists commit the majority of gun violence in this country and will absolutely never give them up. They are not the poor and unsophisticated rednecks you’re told they are, they tend to be richer than average and their brand of violence is calculated. Many of them are current and former police officers and therefore won’t take their friends’ guns away just because the law says so.

      If you’re poor you’re less likely to be white and straight and therefore more likely to be harassed or killed by the aforementioned groups.

      This is not me saying that it’s time to give up on gun control laws or that we need more guns. Fewer guns in the US will mean a more peaceful country. I’m saying that laws that simply make it more expensive to buy and own guns will not deter violent people from buying them because they impose no restrictions on them.

      I can’t wait to see the faces of all you freedom hating dipshits when this and many other gun control efforts are appealed and fail the new Bruen standard.

      HA HA motherfuckers. Gun rights are winning no matter what you try.

          If you attack the rights of Americans, you must hate freedom. I support all of our rights, for all Americans, and if you don’t then you suck.

            Oh look, an edgy teen who read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (or let’s be real, probably just watched the movie) for the first time.

            I bet you were inspired to be a “gonzo journalist” too, right?

              LOL what a swing and a miss. I read all of Thompson’s books in the 90s, probably before you were born. Except Kingdom of Fear, that came out this century.

                    And what is it that “you do”, bud? Agitprop for far right causes? Causing chaos for fun?

                    Or is it for pay? I’d hope you’re at least being paid for all this work. You wouldn’t believe what Soros is giving me…

            The day a conservative talks to me about freedom and I don’t laugh in their face is the day I’ve gone completely fucking stupid.

            Conservatives have zero credibility on freedom.

            Even the Second Amendment is a liberal invention, which conservatives had to rewrite and ignore history, and even certain parts of the Second Amendment itself, in order to fetishize it as they do.

              I’m not a “conservative” as the neocon and trumptard groups have taken over that label with their brands of madness.

              I’m an Independant who pretty much hates all of the politicians we have. I only vote for those who do not propose to limit any of our freedoms.

              As an Independant and having been politically active since the prior century, I have mountains of credibility on the subject of Freedom. I was here protesting the PATRIOT Act, the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, the endless War on Terror, and the War on Drugs probably when you were a baby. I was against those wars when Obama continued them too. I voted against Trump 3 times.

              So yeah, go on about my credibility if you want to but you have nothing on me.

          I am that person, and I have a great life and am proud to support all rights for all Americans. If you don’t then you suck.

          Imagine being the kind of fucking dumbass that would try to reduce any Rights that people have.

            Right… But only when it comes to guns. Trans people though? They don’t deserve anything.
