Nah. GW and co. knew the only way to stop your oppressor was to clapback.
If you want to talk about ways to minimize violence that doesnt involve disarming the populace im all ears though.
Well it is hard to take someone seriously when they can dismiss a million people dead. Especially so when they are talking about clapbacking. It is clear you probably suffer from a serious case of defense fantasy syndrome.
Having said that, sure. We could mitigate the amount of people that needlessly die through numerous options.
For instance a cultural change of people not wanting guns because let's say they see the horror in a thousand children dying every year.
While this kind of cultural change may seem ridiculous to you it is entirely possible. Perhaps in your gun fantasy mind you could dream up another cultural change.
I can actually do it for you since I used to drink the guns are coolaid. Imagine a cultural change were everyone decides to be super responsible with guns and gun ownership is 100%. This of course instantly solves all the problems we have.
The problem with a cultural change is it has to be organic otherwise it is just imposed tryanny. Which is of course what every gunsexual seems to get all wet about. I don't see our major media outlets going along with this either. Let's face it, we got a serious addiction to guns supported by big business and shitty politicians.
We could regulate this problem pretty effectively. There is a ton of common sense, if there is such a thing, regulations that could reduce gun deaths. National regulation would also be helpful to stop the patchwork of states differing rules and laws.
We could also stop cock blocking all the research on gun safety like we have had for the last two decades. That would probably help reveal what the real risk factors are and help mitigate them.
Technology could also be leveraged here. I know the idea of a smart gun is extremely distasteful to most gun nutters, but it could work really well. This would also probably be embraced by gun manufacturers after they threw their hissy fits and cry over lost profits from selling cheap tools for exorbitant prices.
I am sure they would eventually embrace the IGun by Apple secured with facial recognition. Anyways, I doubt you are really serious about this so I probably should stop, cheers!
Nothing you're saying matters. American overall love guns. Many of them worship guns like a religion, even when kids a dying as a result. Those who disagree are in the minority have no power to change that. The only choice queer people have is whether to be armed, or not. Their choice is easy to understand.
No choice but to join the cult of death eh? Sounds pretty dystopian. Thanks for stating the obvious although I respectfully disagree with your conclusion.
If there is a high probability of someone coming to your door to do you and your family harm, and they will likely be armed, it is logical to also be armed in order to protect yourself. Joining a death cult would be just passively accepting that you're to get lynched and doing nothing.
Once again we have this strange defense fantasy syndrome. Joining the death cult means you support the proliferation of guns which have cost us over a million lives so far in the last twenty years.
It is clear people don't really care about human life who suckle on the teat of the gunsexual movement.
Their is no real logic here only pure propaganda and indoctrination into a cult that sacrifices a thousand children every year on their altar of lies and deceit.
Your opinion, not reason. And a stupid opinion. Everyone coming for queer people will have guns. You just want them to sit there and die.
True. That is a sickness in American culture that queer people have no power to change. Their choice is life or death. You keep insisting they should choose death and then say they're joining a death cult for trying to choose life lol.
There is very simple logic here and despite the volume of words you've spewed forth you haven't refuted any of it. Queer people are a minority. They cannot change American gun culture. The people Trump empowers hate them and they all have guns. Maybe having guns will work as deterrent, or maybe not, but you insist they should just sit there passively and die. No part of that is logic.
Just another defense fantasy syndrome here imagining that the only way for people to have rights is to kill each other. Wake the fuck up. This is not necessary in any other major country.
You have been fed a lie and continue to ignore the unnecessary body count. You think moar guns is going to solve the problems when it just creates it. An unregulated armed society is one that loses the equivalent of a war in population every year.
We already have more guns than people. Zero kids in Japan died this year from guns and a it is now the number one cause of child death in the US. How many moar guns do we need. We have roughly twice as many guns than people
Perhaps you gun nutters think we need ten or twenty times moar guns than people. Instead of two guns for every man woman child and baby we need ten gunnnns ddddduuuurrr.
Meanwhile arms manufacturer are laughing all the way to the bank while we lose over a hundred lives everyday to guns.

You are defending the death cult plain and simple. No logic just defense fantasy syndrome.
