I didn't actually research their posting history but saying "that David Hogg character" is weirdly telling as the only human alive in 2022 who would utter those words is probably Marjorie Taylor-Greene and her weird cult.

We should have a no-mask mandate. Everyone needs to show their faces now so we can be appropriately racist.

I know its pointless to argue with the kind of person that says "JUST GIVE EVERYONE GUNS", but the two points I usually try to point out to them are:

1) Think about all the terrible/rear end in a top hat drivers out there. People getting road rage or just plain bad at driving. I wouldn't trust the average driver to make the correct split decision emergency maneuvers at night on a freeway. I certainly do not want these people carrying around guns in public all day

2)You can see what happens when humans carry around weapons with them by looking at history. Lots of people got stabbed and shot and dueled each other. "Armed society is a polite society" is so easily disproven.

Angry Drivers, Lots of Guns: An Explosion in Road Rage Shootings
Dozens have been reported in Texas alone amid a pandemic surge in gun purchases and a country increasingly on edge.

quote:

HOUSTON — The trouble started with an argument between two drivers merging in slow traffic after an Astros baseball game last summer. It ended with two gunshots, fired from a moving Buick and exploding through the glass of a fleeing Ford pickup truck.

The bullets missed the truck’s driver, Paul Castro, but one — just one — struck his teenage son, David, who sat in the passenger seat. As Mr. Castro drove to get help, a 911 operator told him to apply pressure to the wound at the back of his son’s head. But David did not make it.

The random pointlessness of the killing shocked Houston. But it was one of dozens of similar incidents across the country over the past year amid an explosion of shootings and killings attributed to rage on the road.

These eruptions of sudden violence — a man in Tulsa, Okla., firing repeatedly after an argument at a red light; a Georgia driver shot while on a family road trip — are not unique to any part of America, among a population that is increasingly on edge and carrying guns. But they have been perhaps most pronounced on the roads of Texas.

“In the past, people curse one another, throw up the finger and keep moving,” Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston said in an interview. “Now instead of throwing up the finger, they’re pulling out the gun and shooting.”

As more motorists seemed to be firing guns last year, the Dallas Police Department began tracking road rage shootings for the first time. The results were alarming: 45 people wounded, 11 killed.

In Austin last year, the police recorded 160 episodes of drivers pointing or firing a gun; this year, there have been 15 road rage shootings, with three people struck. (Two others were stabbed in altercations stemming from road rage.)

Yeah, people owning shotguns in their homes aren't really the problem. Canada and Vermont has taught us that. It's everyone having it on them at every stupid moment that's the problem. Ever hear of that saying "when all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail?". The most minor of parking disputes blow up into a loving murder scene in conceal carry states. It's also been established that conceal carry states have far more homicides than states with reasonable restrictions. And of course I say this the day Brooklyn encounters a mass shooting.

I dunno my whole philosophy on guns is that yeah sure there's sometimes that I see a news story or watch a video where I'm like "thank God that person had a gun" but for every one of those there's like 50 stories of a toddler being shot by accident at a birthday party or a minor bar room disagreement turning into a bloodbath so even simply statistically speaking it's a really stupid law.

However, I do concede that if I lived in a deep red state I probably would actually conceal carry only because I know everyone else has one so now I'd have to. How ironic. Maybe that's the point of the gun lobby.

That's a high quality avatar right there.

I’d like to think the last thought I would have before being shot to death on the highway by some nutjob would be something like, “well to be fair I did have the right of way.”

And then he mag dumps into me, but the smug smile on my face still remains.
