I know people who are left leaning democrats and they're for gun control. But gun control doesn't solve the problem entirely.
The problem is the entire culture around guns and toxic 'me and my gun and my truck' self sufficiency culture in the US and the lack of a social net.
Yes it is. I was downvoted to shit last time I said we should have the mandatory 10 days waiting period and background checks. Had nothing but what ifs.
People treating firearms as fuckin toys should be banned. Your firearm was on unattended and your child killed himself or an other person? Straight to jail. Fuckin hate that people have lost the respect of the tool they are using.
So what you're telling me is you and no one you know ever plans for an event more than a week and a half in the future? No wonder you can't see how dumb this shit is.
