| Dante9 said: Where does this paranoia come from? I mean the story about how the people are only free because they have guns and if they didn't, the government would kick in everybody's doors and.. something? It's batshit crazy, where is it coming from? Why would you be at war with your own government? Do you think all other countries with strict gun laws are somehow held hostage by their governments? What would be the point of that? Gun nuts are always using arguments from like the 1700's. If there was a mention in the founding papers that everyone has the right to a horse, I suppose all of the nuts would have a horse as well, just because old papers. Listen, the greatest force of all is capitalism. Everybody wants your money. They don't want to lock you up, they want you to go out there and make money and spend it on them. |
Thumbs up for this comment. I also don't understand why this ancient thinking still exists in times like these. Like many others as well, I highly appreciate a slowly starting shift in the general consensus. Companies like those in the OP are setting examples and I hope many others will follow. And that hopefully leads to more critical thinking thoughout the entire society.
Easy access to guns is one of the main reasons why there are so many shootings in the USA, imo.
The right to live is much more important than the right to carry a device that serves no other purpose than to end, handicap or harm another's life. There is no debate.
Also, if you want to change the political system you should use your voice. That's the instrument you are given in a country like the USA. Your mind and voice are much more dangerous than any weapon.
