(48,121 posts)You sure have an odd take on guns.
Perhaps because you believe less in people and freedom and more in those with a magic talisman called 'a piece of paper that says I work for the government so trust me'
People get all worked up when there is a school shooting by a lone gunman, but when we collectively kill kids in other countries we just shrug and say move on.
Seems the people who yell the loudest about their fellow citizen having a gun (because we are taught to fear one another) also support the loudest our government having and using all the weapons they want without so much as asking for any evidence when they kill someone because 'well, it's war and all'.
And as noted before: I don't own a gun, but I respect the rights of others to do so because I have not yet been suckered into believe hundreds of millions of other people in this country are my enemy and the only way I will be safe if is some of those people are the only ones allowed to have guns because they have magic paperwork from some government fetishist.
