Boolshit like this is why I gotta remember to stock up on ammo well before the 2024 election.
LOTS of liberal sorts been buying guns. Women, POC and LGBT folks have been the largest gun buying demographic for a few years. They'll be stocking up in case of a Trump win. I'm an old white guy, but I'll be joining them.
And of course the conservative sorts will pull their usual freakout in case a Democrat wins. Even when it's the same Democrat from the last 4-years. You would think they'd have learned after 8-years of Obama. LOL nope. Panicky little bitches.
Look in the mirror because that's the person most likely to get shot with your guns. Who do you love most in the world? Because they're number 2. This fantasy that gun ownership protects people, especially from the government needs to fucking die.
The natives had Guns; the Black Panthers had guns; Briana Taylor had an armed protector too.
You're absolutely right, guns don't protect people at all...oh wait, they do. You mean the left has been lying to me this entire time?
Of those people that were protected, how many were protected from other people with guns? It's just an arms race basically. Sure everyone needs guns for protection, because everyone has guns. Funny how all the countries with low gun ownership don't have rampant murders.
Funny how the countries with high gun ownership don't have rampant murder. Israel and Switzerland anyone?
America doesn't have a gun problem, we have a culture problem.
Also s good point. I feel like that adds to mine actually. Considering the severe lack of education, mental health support, etc. in the US, the solution isn't to add more guns then. Gun ownership increases safety when everyone is responsible (like Switzerland) but decreases it when everyone is not (like the US).
Maybe Switzerland and Israel aren't the best examples. Switzerland has mandatory military service and by extension firearm familiarity training. Israel is...well Israel.
