My only thing about guns is why do we not admit that they were solely made to kill people. I’m not talking about guns made for hunting bc that’s not what people are arguing for. Like, why not talk about that aspect more often?

it's treated like some completely insane talking point to acknowledge the fact that guns are manufactured and used to kill people with maximum efficiency

my partner always talks about how most of the large firearms aren’t even remotely useful for home defense, as the power behind the bullet would eviscerate a body, demolish the walls of the home behind the mincemeat that was once a person, and rupture the ear drums of the shooter AND anyone else in the home!

especially automatic high capacity assault weapons. even if we had violent revolt where people needed to use them to subdue the government, do people really think a Ak-47 or larger guns is enough? to fight military or government weapons? idk, seems all a bit shoddy to me.

the best home defense is having a dog, more than person living in your home, security systems, and not living a dangerous lifestyle. if you’re gonna get a gun, a pistol makes sense, but at the same time, most people are not remotely living in a area where they need to protect themselves like that. your partner is correct! why would you want a flesh harvester when you really need something quick and simple, idk, but I’d rather just live without them, not everyone has that choice, but most do

i believe it is. Is it the best reason to ban or introduce gun control? Yes and no. We should ban guns like assault weapons that have no use unless you’re fighting war. No one should have a ak47

this statement is so damn annoying bc nobody has ever seriously suggested in a legislative session to completely ban firearms. there are only bans in certain businesses, public spaces, or federal buildings as a symptom of the lack of regulations. if everyone were federally required to take the training that Texas requires prior to taking home a firearm, we’d all be MUCH better off than having nothing but a background check required.

i’m speaking very specifically about the M16, AR15, AK47, SA58, and other heavy weapons with high firepower… which people use the excuse that they’re kept at home for defense when that’s not what they’re made for whatsoever and couldn’t even be used in that scenario effectively.

… i was more referring to like a Torchy’s Tacos disallowing firearms in their restaurant with a giant sign in the entryway. mind you, this is still Texas btw. same with schools and playgrounds. if we could trust that every person with a firearm holstered or concealed was fully capable of using it, i think more people would be accepting of having them more places.

you’re exhausting. congratulations. you’re probably only a few months away from knowing someone that was subjected to gun violence in this country, if not already have. it’s 1 out of 5 people that has a loved one affected by gun violence. for me, it was Tree of Life Synagogue… then it was Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School (my partner was down the street), and days later it was my own university… i can still hear the helicopters.

bc the risk that you will use it to commit mass murder is too great. We cannot give everyone the benefit of the doubt. A pistol is just enough, and the likelihood of you using it to kill a large amount of people at once before being stopped is lower, most people who buy flesh harvesters are paranoid or a little bit unhinged. as we can’t make guns a political party thing, we should all be in agreement that at a certain point—it is overkill and ridiculous.

If gun control didn’t work, then other nations would have similar mass killings. But they don’t.

England. Italy. Australia. If you don’t know global history, you can’t make the assumption “America is just more dangerous” bc that’s not true. Japan. South Korea. All these places have crime, while lower than america, but not bc of their culture—bc of how they report crime, their social welfare and safety networks paid for by their taxes, etc.

If you need a AK47 to defend yourself from bears and wolfs, you’re just an idiot. Don’t be stupid when you live in nature. Again, if you put yourself at risk, that’s not a defense for a gun.

85% of all grizzlies on American soil are in Alaska. where would you possibly be that you’re hiking near grizzly territory, let alone by choice without any knowledge of the area’s ecology to recognize bear scat, trails, prints, feeds, etc. like you’re just making up some dream gun p*rn scenario that you’d need this weapon for… and why would you go leisurely do a day-hike a mountain with a 308 strapped?? that’s just telling me you’re fully expecting to use it on a federally protected species.

Don’t get close to grizzly bears and you won’t need a gun. Simple. Maybe one day karma will literally bite you in the ass. Hope the rangers won’t get hurt trying to recover what’s left of your remains in the mountains.
