    You are seriously arguing that the corruption in our police system means there is no protection? This is objectively false.

    I would trust an officer over Ultragagginggunnut any day of the week.

    The only prisoners are our school children who have to drill for gun violence in their school. Kids who live in fear that their classmates will kill them because they brought another gun nutters unsecured gun to school.

    The prisoners are the wives and partners of every abusive gun owner. Scared to leave because they know that it could cost their lives. You ever been raped at gun point? Yeah, didn’t think so.

    The prisoners are our society that has to deal with the commercialization of gun ownership and the radicalization of the NRA. Everyday they make our society more unsafe in the name of profits.

    The problem isn’t guns, it is people like you that think they solve problems. Guns create problems not solve them.

    They need to be tightly controlled to keep them away from people who are mentally unwell. People that think they are the “prisoners” fantasizing about defending their rights and overthrowing the government.

      You must be white passing and at least middle class to trust bringing the police into any situation.

        Like anyone who grew up poor you know not to trust anyone including officers. I have called 911 on guys beating their girlfriends. I have had an officer pull their gun on me for no reason. I have lived in big cities, small, and rural so I know a thing or two.

      I know you got downvoted, but in other countries and anywhere other than lemmy, the US and truth social, this is actually normal

      It’s crazy that extremist groups like the NRA have managed to brainwash so many Americans

        Oh I know what I was getting into by commenting on their post. I will gladly take downvotes from gun nutters.

        I appreciate what you say though because in the US it seems easy to question your sanity at times.

          Yep… Whats crazy, is that literally a few months ago, everyone was pointing out how weird the nutters on the right wing are. And how rediculous the gun nuts are

          Now, somehow, there seems to have been some kind of concerted campaign that have made a lot of these people start to act exactly like the extreme right, where shooting seemingly anyone you don’t like is apparently “ok”. But at least a lot of those guys tied them to random conspiracy theories, whereas, what I’m seeing suddenly by some people on the left, is basically just blatant wanting to kill certain people

            Well gun supporters have been at war with the truth for a long time. People I call gun nutters have an unhealthy obsession with guns. They keep them unsecured and loaded and like to fantasize about killing people in “self defense”.

            America’s obsession with guns definitely cuts both ways but when you compare the left and right wing 95% of attacks come from the right. It is an unfortunate reality but the people who we can least trust are the ones who are the most for guns.

            Really though this is a problem of regulation. Commercial interests have manipulated people into buying tools they don’t need which are misused and cause untold suffering.

      All of your responses are being downvoted and for good reason. Maybe you need to rethink some things

        In other countries this is normal. Including here in Australia

        Maybe you need to rethink some things and get some perspective from countries where we don’t have regular mass shootings. Our kids don’t need to do training for school shootings

        What you’re doing clearly isn’t working

        That’s also why we didn’t get people trying to overthrow our Capitol

        It’s absolutely ridiculous at this point for an American to be giving any advice about guns
