Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
I'm sure there are individuals who think that way, but I don't think it's a significant number at all - certainly not among elected representatives, political commentators, or anyone else with a significant amount of power to actually affect gun legislation.
It's odd to me that so often when someone refers to gun control of any sort, people like the commenter I responded to immediately respond with "Well you can't just ban all guns." The vast majority of the time, nobody is actually proposing that we do so. It's over-defensiveness at best and strawmanning at worst.
