Democrats drove away all the fighters by attacking anyone who was the slightest bit controversial or politically incorrect for the last 40 years. Basically the party was taken over by fools and cowards. This is our opposition party, and this is why we're screwed. Ban Fox News.

Someone finally gets it. But get this. All that gun control is literally helping the other side Dems are helping the auth regime and voters are too dumb to have that epiphany.

Disagree. More gun control would make the sides more even.

Criminals don’t follow the laws. Every time something happens, you all fail to understand they are criminals.

So let’s just kneecap lawful bc criminals follow the laws. That’s not even close to logical at all. Not even by a million miles.

Very simplistic reductionist substitute for actual reasoning.

K.I.S.S. exists for a reason my dude. We’ve been doing the overly complicated workflow long enough to understand it doesn’t work well, creates confusion and usually it’s a cost overrun for taxpayers. I don’t understand why the wheel ever needed to be reinvented. Our government tries way too hard to do just that.

All WHAT "gun control"? My sibling in Christ, do you perceive there to be insufficient access to guns in america?! Really?

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

It puts you in an ideological lock to say the least and when the purity tests start about which in group is "correct", the debacle begins

as we all know, meaningless purity tests are the best way keep an already fragmented ideological movement cohesive and not totally in a permanent state of full fragmentation

If criminals do not follow the laws re guns why should lawful owners be required to?

Also if one political side is allowed to own accuracy by volume, why is the other political side not allowed to?

Why do democrats want to help the authoritarians via gun control? Because that is exactly the situation that is now in play.

I've got bad news for you. Most of the guns are in the hands of the enemy. This was caused by not having gun control. The scared loonies are stockpiling them. Now do you get it?

[–] pinesolcario@lemy.lol 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

TIL I am a scared looney as a mostly liberal gun owner.

That’s some wild logic lumping us with the looneys. We aren’t stupid liberals so we know when it’s likely a good idea to not be defenseless against the looneys.

[–] PlagueShip@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't say all of them were looneys. Go to the south sometime if you want to meet who I'm talking about.

[–] pinesolcario@lemy.lol 1 points 23 hours ago

I know people in the south that stockpile that are not looney. Not even close. Some are liberal too. I think you have a problem with stereotyping people out of convenience. You should stop doing that.
