I love it when gun advocates say, “An armed society is a polite society.” Come on guys. Do you really believe that?
What they really mean is: Polite to them, the people with the means of easily inflicting deadly violence upon others.
Gun ownership is just another expression of the deep selfishness ingrained in American culture.
In theory responsible gun ownership is check on the authority of the state…
Of course in US we have armed degenerates causing havoc. It don’t have to be like this but for some reason it do be like that :/
We should be armed but we don’t need to be armed at all times.
Gun ownership for “self defense”, yes.
Gun ownership solely for sustainable hunting or protection from large animals like polar bears is a separate thing that doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with that hostile to humanity crap.
There’s a reason why guns in the “Wild West” were heavily regulated inside many of the actual towns. They knew being armed was the opposite of being polite.
Imagine simping for the fucking Earps
It’s like that abusive parent who mistaken fear and avoidance for respect.
Yeah, I mean if everyone is armed you can only think if they are going to shoot first. Having access to lethal force so easily only leads to terrible things
Anyone who says that should look at the science and see that yes, the data supports easy access to lethal force does increase the frequency of violence.
Yeah that only works if everyone is openly armed and not suicidal, unstable, or just having a bad day and not giving a shit anymore. I’m sure it would be just fine…
I get to enforce my version of politeness, that version being implied violence against anyone I disagree with.
Allowed to carry concealed weapons without a permit…
America you are dumbbb. Sorry.
The USA has a fucked up mentality about guns.
This is exactly what the GOP wants.
Well, the important thing is we can still violently overthrow society when we don’t get our way. /s
