Problem is, gun are useful.
They protect our children.
They protect our food supply.
They protect our freedom.
And people have been killing each other for centuries before guns were invented. Thinking that guns are the reason for death is clearly propaganda. But you all know that. I'm just here to point out what actual reality looks like. Since none of you have ever touched grass.
Guns don't protect children. They're the leading cause of death in children.
I have no idea what you're talking about with protecting food...hunting? Not how most people get their food. Most people get food from a grocery store...where they're increasingly likely to get shot.
If the freedom line was in reference to the military, there's hardly a vet alive who's done that... they're all dead from old age. The only wars we've been fighting were for revenge or resources. I say that as a vet.
If you're talking about protecting us from our government...as far as I know, nobody has even won an armed confrontation with the police or feds over freedoms. Guns made Waco worse. Guns made Ruby Ridge worse. I guess the Bundy's protected their "right" to steal from taxpayers by grazing their cattle on public land without paying for it like they should have. That feels like a less important right than "life" to me personally.
Fucking THANK YOU!
Uh...WHAT? Ain't no fucking way. *checks statistics*
...😳 what the actual fuck. Y'all doin alright down there?
Not for several decades, no.
Graph in article shows that until around 2019 most children died from cars.
fuckin biden making gasoline too expensive /s
It does give the impresson that grand theft auto is a realistic simulation.
This comment history is a neat little museum of bad takes.
oof, no kidding. lotta branworms in that museum.
I like when they surprise me. "Capitalism perfect, guns good, diversity bad," builds up a sort of caricature. Then that is completely broken with the weird digression, "HTTPS is bad and imperfect, throw it all out."
I live in the Netherlands. No one I know owns a gun. Yet I have all the things you list in abundance. Added bonus: lack of school shootings and gun violence.
Your propaganda argument is nothing but you sticking your head in the sand. That, or you are a successful troll.
But how do you deal with the horrors of all that communism?
Is it not a terrifying wasteland with less... consumer goods? I would die without my Kit Kat flavored Trix cereal.
I knew two people from Ukraine who had guns. Now I know only one. Another died from COVID.
Problem is, people are stupid.
Which is evidenced by both your shitty grammar, and tired argument.
Cars are useful. Cars protect children in many situations. Cars are among the things that majorly contribute to even having a food supply. Cars freedom patriotism eagles liberty-gasm!
Yet it is still possible to have cars serve those functions without giving in to the lobbies that wish to make it mandatory to get paid for shoving a car down the throat of every loony who wants one to hurt others with. Because cars are well regulated to make them as safe as possible.
While this is debatable, the regulation of cars is still a useful allegory for gun regulation.
Usually for those inside, not outside
I have had to say this many times lately, just because something is propaganda, doesn't automatically make it false.
The best propaganda is the truth.
Since you clearly have no idea of how propaganda works.
you really are deranged.
Guns don't protect shit. Get that through your fucking melon.
People with weapons protect countries. They're trained and equipped just for that purpose, we call it a military, you bellend. Probably couldn't pass an asvab, obviously you've never been in the mud. Touch grass? JFC...
Problem is, you find gun fun and don't actually care about children's lives at all. That's all it ever really is.
