See, the thing about that is, it's going to be wonderful watching you people run on a platform of taking rights away. really, i can't wait. Hopefully Hillary co-opts the gun grabbing and it'll TOTALLY BE HER TURN THIS TIME!!!1!! I mean, most of those kids from Parkland will be old enough to vote, so yeah total slam dunk for the modern day rights denying party

Nah, i think low information forums denizens see every news blip as the harbinger for massive social upheaval. We have a school shooting and the same people that were sure that OWS was the beginning of the grand communist revolution think that there's actually enough votes to get rid of the 2A. I'm guessing you've never left Brooklyn, if that's the case

every single time someone wants to take away rights it's under the guise of wont somebody please think of the children. I guess i'm so old that i remember the left in the US properly scoffing at that idea as a barometer of what rights should be taken away

I feel like children being murdered in school is a great time to use thinking of the children as an argument actually

"A" school shooting, because it's just the one, and there weren't any already this year and won't be anymore after, because this anger was created in a void independent of anything that has happened in the last twenty years

"You're gunna break it!"

OWS seems to be coming up a lot lately, as if the hope that a movement with no purpose which managed to awaken an entire society to the concept of wealth inequality will somehow be the harbinger of a contemporary gun control movement. Somehow if it fails on equal terms, ...it awakens an entire society to how dumb gun culture is?


Starting to think people may not have thought this one through.

Guh? But the Republican Party is constantly running on platforms of taking rights away; opposition to gay marriage/military service/adoption/existence, opposition to abortion, etc. They're already the modern day rights denying party.

Furthermore gun control is not the same as taking rights away

I used to be for moderately increasing licensing, regulation and registration and then the gunhavers were like "no that won't work" and I said whoa OK well, let's see, all these dead kids is still unacceptable so I guess we will have to take all your loving guns then.

I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!
As an American, the discourse around guns depresses me heavily and has me absolutely convinced that I am going to live to see major civil violence in America in my lifetime, if not by 2020.

I know where it comes from - I could make a whole effortpost about this emphasis on taking, and how fear of "taking" has permeated American culture since the 19th century - but good god there's just no escape and possibly no hope, is there.

I'm pretty sure we're not going to need to work to hard or violently to take the guns SpaceDrake because gun priests and Facebook users Venn diagram seems to be the former inside the latter.

yes, very much like a royal worshipping D&D goon to not understand the difference between a divine right monarchy, and a government that recognizes rights as God given to the people, not individual rulers based on family line. I suppose that also explains why you're so hot on the idea of the only armed people in the country being cops. except when they murder unarmed black men, then it's different or something. it's almost as if don't have a coherent philosophy at all and are just lashing out against a machine of which you have little understanding
