Imagine being such a coward you have to have a gun on you at all times, and then further assuming everyone else is as terrified of their own shadows as you

Some Americans are targeted minorities and can't rely on safe neighborhoods or functioning police departments though.

I think in practice most gun control just serves as another way for prosecutors to tack on 10 extra years for people when they want to, I don’t think the consequences really hit the demographics that are prone to mass shootings

They already do, you use a gun against the state and your life is effectively over. Even if/when police are doing something flagrantly illegal shooting at them isn’t going to end well for you.

When I get shot at I'm just gonna get hit with the bullet but I bet if I had a gun I could whip it out and shoot the incoming bullet out of the air. Like how cool would that be? The *insert threat here* wants me dead but they can't kill me because I'm just shooting down all their bullets PEW PEW.

Also lol at the gun morons pretending to care about minorities in an attempt to make gun ownership a good thing. gently caress off.

My partner is a non-binary jew who was cornered in their office by a Nazi who threatened their life and neither my partners boss nor the police helped at all. The client was too valuable to ban from the premises and the cops said no crime was committed. But you go off I'm sure you've had to deal with stuff like that too.

Really I just get sick of open carry weirdos. Only people that open carry are second amendment fetishists or meth heads. If you’re allowed to carry a gun, cool beans. Carry it where I don’t have to see it.

I do agree that open carry guys are generally far nuttier than people with concealed carry permits, who are quietly packing heat all of the time. There's something about the need to show everyone around you that you have a gun that attracts the people who should be the last people to have guns.

You're right I am indeed super privileged. I can still tell you guns are for killing and you're lying to yourself if you think they exist for protection. Can they be used for it? Sure. Sort of. Are there better solutions? Maybe not in your case in the short term. Guns suck. People preaching for more guns? Suck.

Also while I'm sure you care, but I'm also sure the right loving loves to pretend to be/care about minorities to advance whatever poo poo policy they want.

That's absolutely fair and for what it's worth I agree with you. If I could snap my fingers and live in a world without guns I would instantly.

Carrying weapons around makes people want to use them. Humans have known this forever. "Iron itself can draw men's hands" or however you want to translate the ancient greek. More guns is bad, and more people carrying them around is bad.

America is the best country in the world. sorry to hear about your weird self-hate complex.
It's not a surprise that the most patriotic of Americans, and the demographics with the lowest rates of crime and highest rates of social mobility are of first and second generation immigrants who actually understand what the alternatives are.

Maybe you'll grow out of your 'too cool for america' phase one day and realize how good you have it.
