Yeah no. Wrong.

Fentanyl is gutting our country.

But rifles? You are more likely to get clubbed / beaten to death, then shot with a rifle - including every single type of “assault rifle” combined.

It’s exceedingly rare.



Um - notice how she specified: RIFLES???

And she’s right; what she claims is a fact about knives, clubs, etc: more Americans are murdered with knives and clubs than any type of rifle - including all types of “assault rifles.”

So we need to first ban clubs, right?

If the 2nd Amendment actually intended to protect private ownership of firearm (and that is debatable) we have proven we cannot handle it.

Ban them all.
Do you realize how many home invasions we’d have if we banned them all? Criminals don’t listen to bans, and what would we do about the 300 million guns already on the street. We are all walking on land minds when we leave the house everyday

criminals don't listen to any laws. So, should we just do away with all laws?

The vast majority of the mass shootings occurred with a legally bought gun.

Countries that have appropriate gun control do not have disproportionate crime. In fact in many it is the opposite.


Apples and oranges. Do you really think that if you impose some type of massive gun control that the United States is suddenly going to turn into Switzerland or Denmark or New Zealand? Those are wonderful places but they simply don't have to deal with the same underlying issues of criminal behavior that we do.

Do you realize statistically how rare home invasions are and have always been? People wait until you leave your house, generally with the door unlocked.

Do you really think firearms would magically disappear if your envisioned ban ever went into effect?

What we need is a society that stops glorifying violence and hatred.


The “society” we have is the society we have so maybe we should start legislating based on reality, not on kumbaya rainbow dreams.

If we are glorifying violence and hatred maybe we should stop making guns so readily available on top of that.

Theory: Republicans want to flood the country with guns because they know poor black, brown, and white people will be disproportionately affected by the violence. This is a feature, not a bug.

At 18, especially after being brainwashed and bought into an ideology, you don't realize how your life will now be over. You don't have the benefit of 40-yo you saying, hey dude, this isn't worth it. No one wants to be in prison for 70 years.

He totally understood his actions that day. Not excusing that. But just think back to the dumb stuff I did at 18 and not realizing the potentially long-term consequences of those things.

It's OK to have these feelings for the perps. As long as your feelings for the victims are 100x stronger.


You feel sorrow because you think his life as white male had more potential and promise and value than those of the elderly Black people he killed. You hate seeing a white boy’s life destroyed by his own actions more than you hate seeing an innocent Black person’s life taken by his actions.
