This Was Seen Yesterday

RIP Charlie Kirk  --May be an image of 1 person and text that says '"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more more it will hate those who speak it." -George Orwell'

He said we need more guns in American society. Do you consider that the "truth"?

  Yes. In case you havn't figured it out, it is not the gun - it is the sick individual who uses the gun.

And if guns aren't as easy to get as a Slurpee?

Newsflash for you, the bad guys and sickos always will find a way to get guns no matter how hard you make it with regulations.  You can't be that naive though.

So what do you propose Jerry? Australia found a way to keep guns away from bad guys. 

The dude was very prescient, apparently. Charlie Kirk at a 2023 event in Salt Lake City:


"It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights...That is a prudent deal."

He made a bad deal.

Uhhh...wrong--o. Other Western are "industrialzed nations have made it far more difficult to get a gun and guess what? They have far, far few shootings than us.

 

What you're missing is that most gun homicides aren't committed by "bad guys and sickos," but rather, ordinary people who get into arguments that escalate. Fistfights are now gunfights. And that's because anybody can get a gun--ridiculously easily.

 

But you should rejoice! Your MAGA martyr hero got exactly what he wanted! He just lost the who-gets-sacrificed lottery, is all.

States with heavy gun restrictions have fewer gun deaths than states with light gun restrictions.   

it doesn't solve the problem entirley but it helps.    Just like restraining orders don't stop every psycho ex boyfriend from beating on his woman.    But it makes those occurrences fewer and farther between.

its a strawman argument to demand a solution cure 100% of any problem.
