(114,683 posts)I will say nothing more about the gun-obsessed because they are "here among us" but I find their arguments as disingenuous as those promoted on almost any other issue.

(54,770 posts)Even a lowly educated white winger can see that guns enable just about anyone to kill/wound/intimidate/bully lots of people.
The idea advanced by gun-strokers that lax gun laws is the price we must pay for them to have access to more and more guns is utter BS. I really do not understand how anyone can support our lax laws regarding how many and what types of lethal weapons anyone can acquire and carry in public. Nor, do I understand how gun manufacturers, dealers and profiteers escape legal liability for the situation they foster.

(21,836 posts)how much they know about guns because they own one? But when it comes to climate change, they can't say anything for sure because they are not scientists.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
