    But people can’t buy whatever they want. I can’t buy drugs, but I would like to. So clearly simply wanting to buy something isn’t enough. So why are gun suppressors an exception?

        Yeah but that’s the point it’s an arbitrary distinction. People somewhere make an arbitrary distinction about what people can and cannot do.

        The gun nuts would go mad if the Constitution were changed but only because it’s an inconvenience to themselves. If the Constitution said you couldn’t have guns and it were changed so you could, they’d be all for that. So it’s not actually about the Constitution, it’s mostly about themselves.

          So freedom of speech or assembly is arbitrary? Regardless, it is still a fact that the constitution does not grant an inalienable right to recreational drugs, making this a false equivalency. You can’t dispute that.

      shh, you can’t give critique to the gun fetishists. it summons their brigading bullshit bands, the best you can get is transparent ‘it’s about safety’ lol. as if these idiots don’t already have tinnitus. Funny they won’t wear their plugs and cans to defend their ears, but they’ll whine piss and moan about paying for the suppressor tax.

      they’re gravy seals who want to complete their cosplay kit.

        You’re not being brigaded, you’re simply incorrect. Hearing protection is still required when using a suppressor btw as it can still result in hearing loss.
