Reminds me of Dianne's line from Bojack Horseman: "I can't believe this country hates women more than it loves guns"

In an episode where there's a huge uptick in women carrying firearms, instead of helping to make society a better place for women, they just decide to ban guns instead.

God I love that episode and that line. It's so sad how that observation somehow became even more relevant today than it was back when that episode released.

Thank you.
