gun nuts ARE the problem you'd be surprised how few gun deaths there are in countries without them.
And there you have it. Gun nuts, not the people doing the killing, are the problem, because they stand in the way of your extremist wishes.
Take note, folks.
And I do have nothing now, the same way that people advocating for the end of slavery had nothing for years and years... but eventually - despite how many times people were told slavery was moral, how ending it would destroy America, etc etc - eventually it ended.
Ending slavery directly increased the rights of millions. You wish to directly decrease the rights of tens of millions.
Big difference.
This to will pass.
And more of the same from you:
If you want a country where adults are treated like children and punished for the acts of other individuals rather than left alone because they haven't committed any acts against others, fine by me, but do it somewhere else.
Garbage thinking like that has no place in America.
