Colorado's Magpul to give away 1,500 AR-15 30-round magazines in last protest

161. It is clear if you read

It's really that simple. The OP was about a corporation distributing high capacity magazines. Who else could I have possibly been referring to? "Pro-murder agenda of the blessed and noble gun lobby" was likewise clear. Standard English grammar exists to facilitate understanding. I do my best to follow it.

The issue highlights a key point of contention many have with subscribers of this group. Every thread criticizing the NRA, gungeoneers come to defend them. Every thread about a gun corporation, gungeoneers defend them over their fellow citizens. That is not something one expects to see from progressives, not just on the gun issue but on any subject matter. Most progressives do not privilege corporations above citizens. I don't understand that kind of point of view. I don't understand how people can privilege anything and everything about guns over their fellow citizens. And no, I don't respect your views. I believe them to be fundamentally immoral. I do not respect a pro-war position or or the GOP determination to eliminate Obamacare and foodstamps. All of those policies cost lives. I'm not going to pretend there is an equivalency between life and death to make you feel better. I have a strong commitment to social justice. Without that, politics are pointless. There is what is just and what is wrong, and and pro-gun position is morally wrong because it results in tens of thousands of deaths a year.

Your view of discussion would require me to abandon any sense of social justice. I will not do that. When I believe a policy is fundamentally immoral and even evil, I have every right to say so. If I did not believe current gun policy to be heinously deadly and unjustifiable, I would not be working for gun control.
