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.

    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.

        Gun death is a made up term, there is no practical difference when people get shot to death, stabbed to death, strangled to death, bludgeoned to death. Your obsession with a single particular weapon in extremely unhealthy and points to other issues. People are killed with anything that can be used as a weapon. Acting like you have authority over someone who arms themselves for protection because your family experienced rape is like telling a holocaust victim it was better for them to comply and be murdered in a chamber than having had the chance to fight back because my grandmother got SA’d? You make no sense, the software that has been downloaded into your brain needs a rewrite

          Full on gun nutter nonsense. I grew up poor, I know what happens when you put a gun in a young man’s hands. You are fucking clueless, you truly are about the horrors of gun proliferation. We have tens of millions of civilians that know to duck and cover at any given moment because of constant violence. They live in a continuous state of stress.

          The US has been in a constant state of extreme violence because of gun proliferation. Over a million women have been shot by their partner, but don’t worry your solution is they shoot back. Double homicide assured.

          I will never forget this family whose father came downstairs and blew his brains out in front of them on Christmas Day…so many stories of tragedy always because of one easily accessible tool. If it were any other product it would have to be safe, but not firearms. At any rate, come back when you grow the fuck up sir.
