      It’ll be neither. Now that the upper class is affected, they’ll be lobbying hard for strict gun control. But hey, archery still exists…

          Turnip banned guns at his rallies and his boot lickers didn’t care much at all.

          If this starts becoming a thing where rich fucks face mob or lone gunman attacks, you can guarantee they will make laws banning guns in “freedom zones”.

          That’s what makes it so wonderful. A madman has taken the keys, and his platform is built by crazies who idolize guns more than their own children. You could no sooner remove gun culture from America than you could alcohol or cheeseburgers.

        Please lobby for gun control.

        I know a few guys who are into red hatwear… With a lot of guns who might not enjoy that very much.

        so you want the guns taken?

        No, I want the pot stirred enough for us to take our country back.

          Millions of Americans are like you, sitting on the couch hoping the conditions will be perfect tomorrow so they can finally do something.

          It’s been eight years since Trump was elected, and longer since Citizen’s United. You’re not going to do shit. Stop cosplaying a vigilante for internet points.

        And if that gets too much heat, a slingshot takes much less space and can also be deadly with the right projectile

          A sling with just a little bit of training can put out a lot more damage than a slingshot and it’s literally just a rope and a rock. It’s harder to aim but that’s what the backyard training is for.

          Humans have been killing each other for [reasons] since before we even evolved into humans, if somebody is determined to do it, you’re not realistically going to stop them by depriving them of weapons. Our bare hands are deadly weapons. It’ll get done somehow.

      I would love nothing more than to redirect school shooters to stop shooting at their peers/innocent folks in schools.
