I see mass shootings and individual murder the price we pay to prevent the government from massacring civilians like they did in Myanmar recently.
If we really want a gun-free society we need to make sure the government doesn’t have guns. Given that’s impossible, the next best thing is letting citizens have guns.
I hope you at least vote for candidates who support mental health initiatives. (Though that would rule out Republicans.)
But anyway hey, at least you are honest. (Kinda. Aside from assuming I'm pushing for gun-free just because I wish republicans would even talk about gun control.)
It's the price the victims pay. You see that price, that those dead people have paid, as something that you are willing for them to pay. Let's not mince words. It's your value judgement that it's worth it for them to have died. I wonder if they and their families felt it was.
