So yeah you can fire a bullet so many different ways, a rusty nail and hammer will do the trick. Isn’t the real problem the frickin bullet?

I swear in Sweden or something, you can take a gun home but ammo is only sold and consumed at the range and not for taking home.

Sure, you can make this a hollistic approach regulating guns and ammo, but the ammo seems to be the bigger issue here. You can make guns easy peasy, but ammo is much harder to manufacture and easier to regulate.

    We live in a fascist hell hole surrounded by mentally unstable people with guns. Guns are the fucking problem, they have not solved any of our issues. They support the abusive government, not keep it in check. I am so sick of violence and the reality that every pearl clutching gun nut is only one step away from killing someone.

      As they say… violence is never the answer… looks at history… uh oh… oh shit… well maybe it is.

      Sounds like what you are saying is that then issue isn’t people with guns, it’s the wrong people with guns. And I very much agree. But if you take them from “the people” and leave them in the hands of groups like ICE. You have just increased the percent of people who have guns that are the wrong people.

      If I could snap my fingers and make them all go away, I would. But that just ain’t possible. I support requiring licenses to have guns, and training being required for those licenses. I also support safe storage laws. But bans and restrictions that don’t actually stop anyone from having the gun they claim to control access to are pointless theater that needs to be replaced with useful legislation.

        Sounds like you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. If you think violence and murder makes us better then maybe… just maybe… You should take your own advice.

        If you ignore the 2nd amendment people are fighting for the government and guns are the oppressive force then you clearly are a gun nutter, no reason to talk with you anymore.

        Please just stop with the nonsense about restricting rights and bans. They work, they always have. We can ban transgender but we can’t ban a gun highlights the stupidity we face.

            How many people have you lost to gun violence? I have lost several. How many woman do you know who were raped by gunpoint? I know several. How many people that have guns don’t properly store them? Everyone I have ever met save a couple responsible ones. For every responsibile owner there are a hundred that keep their guns loaded under their pillow.

            I have read what you are saying thousands of times. It gets old.

              Lol trying to take away a womans only practical, effective option to repel a man who wants to rape her, I don’t know if you realize this, but if you snapped your fingers and guns dissapeared, women would be more fucked, not less. Try stopping a 250 pound man with a knife or no weapon at all with a puny little 120 pound body. Good luck. Firearms are the great equalizer.

                You guys are fucking clueless. Women are oppressed by guns every single fucking day. Millions of women live in fear of their partner because they have a gun. So stupid it hurts.

                  A bigger, stronger man doesn’t need a gun to oppress someone smaller and weaker than them. You’re just ensuring the imbalance is permanent if you magically made effective weapons dissapear. But maybe that’s what you want deep down.

                    Oh God help me. If every women in your made up scenario pulled the trigger against a man SA or raping them there would be 90 million+ dead men.

                    My grandmother, mother, my wife, and my daughters have all been SA and raped in their lifetime. Every single women I have ever had the privilege to talk to about this has also been. I am a social worker by trade so I have talked to several hundred.

                    Right now there are over four million women that live in fear of gun death everyday. We have lost more civilians to gun violence in the last thirty years than every single soldier we have lost in every single war we have ever been in.

                    Not just heterosexuals either. I have met several gay men that fear their partner. If they leave them they are worried they would kill them.

                    This is our society. Have fun living with your defense fantasy larping imagination guns solve our problems bullshit.
