Comment on It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government.

  it’s not fear mongering when we’re literally months away from being the next fascist state.

  And another thing to consider, cars kill about as many people in the US as guns, so we should be talking about banning cars as well?

    Oh do tell us the value of goods and services transported every day by gun.

    Because I can give you a number for the approximate economic value provided by cars, can you tell us the economic value provided by guns?

      Gun crimes are largely committed by people who do not have the legal right to those guns. The vast majority of legal gun owners are responsible people. When you ban guns, they’ll just go to other means of killing. You won’t stop it, if they want to kill people they will.

        Nope.

        Just objectively and probably false. This is NRA nonsense.

        Guns increase the rates of suicide, they increase the rates of domestic violence murder, and they make everyone less safe around police by giving police an excuse to use deadly force.

        Guns also are not manufactured clandestinely en masse, anywhere, because it takes a lot of precise industrial machining to do at scale. They are not like sex or weed that are impossible to ban, when you stop manufacturing them for nonsense reasons, they stop circulating and criminals stop being able to get their hands on them.

        I do not understand why Americans think they are so unfathomable unique that none of the evidence from other countries applies to them.

  Each good human being only needs to kill one fascist, and the fascists will quickly be gone.

    Unilaterally labelling people ‘fascists’ and thus worthy of death, makes you a fascist.

  Do you have any idea how much blood fascism will shed?

  Yes, arming the public will get people killed, do you think death camps are a preferable alternative?
