Let’s not suggest that we should curtail our freedoms because stupid people exist. We can’t play nanny to everyone.
Classic libertarian move to be disingenuous and walk away with the wrong point to justify bad behavior. Come back when you are mature and ready to leave the bad faith takes behind.
Classic bullshit answer, I’m very very far from a libertarian. Read my other posts, about how to properly address our gun violence in this country. It has everything to do with societal benefits and making sure our populous is taken care of. Smoking has tanked because of education, not because of a prohibition style policy. Prohibition of pretty much anything just creates more black markets and people who want to try it. How has the war on drugs been going? I’m sure you’ll agree it’s be a complete failure.

Yeah, it has.

I agree.
Look I’m from Tx and have family out in corn field #12675AE2 whatever midwest. I can count the number of responsible gun owners with one hand. So I am calling out what is reading to me like BS NRA talking points to excess irresponsible people. I started the chain with empathy as to the point that was being made. And I keep reading you doubling down on whataboutisms. “What if no kid lives there” (as if that is the only misuse of guns), “why do you assume they are not stored correctly” (as if didn’t start with leaving guns lying around for easy access).
If you are who you say you are; why do you die on this hill?
Because I have a very multinational family, and part of it was the ones who had no means to fight against fascist during WWII. I’m lucky to have been born from the level of death the Nazis placed upon one side of my family. The other side of me is native American. So if you can imagine, two people’s who have been killed because they lacked the tools to fight back.
Registration is something that just places the vulnerable in the crosshairs of the oppressive.
Firearms are a force multiplier, are they dangerous? Yes. But so is a bunch of other shit. Swimming pools have more accidental deaths for kids than firearms, yet we are ok with this because it’s part of being in a society that understands a balance.
