This is what people keep voting for when they elect radical gun fetishists.


Anyone who votes for a Republican at the federal level (and likely state/local) is voting to protect gun laws.

Clearly you aren’t this stupid. We change ineffective laws all the time. How can you look yourself in the mirror?

Happy to remove them all as long as the 2nd Amendment also gets axed, and then we can start regulating fire arms manufacturers and get some real gun control in place.

I feel like the chances of a full-on revolution are higher than gun control in our country.

We will break before we bend.

We are about to witness a massive long term spike in crime in the US, as we are now utterly awash in guns and if abortion is criminalized.

This is all part of the Republicans’ plan for this country. They want this craziness to happen because chaos is an opportunity for power & wealth.


And because they best understand the mindset of us vs. them, of strongmen politics, they love the idea of wild west style "justice" and vengeance and see everything as danger that can only be addressed by force. In short, they'd love a police state with armed citizens being a part of the force.

The politicians will never do this as they sold their souls for votes based on this topic. They will not risk alienating that part of the population regardless of how they feel themselves. Coincidently, if there is a hell, they will be there soon enough.

As I said in another thread “Hey Texas - tell me you are not really “pro-life” without telling me you are not really pro-life.”

Republicans find the thought of losing free access to guns MORE unbearable than the thought of 14 dead little children.


The pandemic has demonstrated even more thoroughly no one gives two shits about anyone else here. Why should this be any different.
