I’m not against well thought out gun control. But most proposals aren’t well thought out and are knee jerk reactions.

I’m saying we, as a society, have huge issues that still need to be addressed even if guns were banned entirely. Wealth inequality, mental health issues, our entire culture around conflict resolution, racism, housing, social services, food insecurity, etc.

We have lots of underlying issues that lead people to gun violence and those issues won’t magically disappear if gun violence were impossible. Gun violence is a symptom of a desperate population AND easy access to firearms. Fixing the access to guns is only a portion of the solution.

It’s not that we wouldn’t do fine.

But I think we have bigger issues that go deeper than accessibility to guns.

I’ve posted a lot on our cultural issue with guns. And I believe a ban would do very little on its own.

We’ve reenforced rhetoric like “fuck around and find out” and made guns and gun violence an equally valid answer to disagreements. They are discussed in horrible ways that don’t stress how they are the final protection against someone trying to seriously and maliciously harm or kill you or someone else.

I believe they have their uses, but we need to take back the gun culture. And build it with responsible use and storage as part of the mindset.

As we’ve seen silence from the 2a crowd after Trump has taken office, which leads me to the idea that this “culture” might have been subversion to get us to harm ourselves.

Give him a scooter. The Rascal 1.

Another day, another impeachable offense.

When will someone rid us of this meddlesome president.

I… Yea. Pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Trolls have no right to any of my time.
