  • I think simple minded people can only differentiate pro or anti when most issues are nuanced. Stop being simple minded. I’ve owned a gun for most of my life, I also think some of the gun laws need to change. That doesn’t make me anti gun, it just means I understand some regulation could save lives.

    Yea tons of nuance… regulation is not going to save lives. Fixing our society has. And you’re tossing out the “I’m a gun owner” as if that somehow makes you an expert on it is hilarious… because then you toss out the most ignorant “common sense” gun control next…

    Things like universal background checks

    Requires registration… instead they could open the NICS to people who sell guns for free…but nope.

    and mandatory gun safety courses (resulting in a gun license)

    So more registration…and banning private sales.

    could both reduce gun violence while still allowing most citizens to own guns.

    None of these will save lives, the criminals will no go through any of this to get firearms, and those who do to commit mass shootings will pass with flying colors. Those who want to use a firearm to commit suicide will also still obtain a firearm

    That doesn’t make me anti gun, it just means I think we can do things to reduce violence by gun.

    No it makes you ignorant on the subject and as you said. Simple minded.

    Want to fix our society:

    Pay teachers more

    Build more schools to reduce class sizes

    Make sure all kids have access to school food 3 meals a day

    Single payer healthcare

    Increased mental healthcare facilities and workers so kids don’t turn to suicide

    Improve safety nets

    End the war on drugs

    End for profit prison system

    End qualified immunity

    All of these are actual solutions and not dumbass virtue signaling “common sense” gun laws that will not reduce our gun crime a single %.
