    I disagree in part because I see it as both a gun problem and a mental health crisis. Guns have one purpose, to create a lethal hole in somebody. So it makes no sense to me that a human would want anything to do with them. Part of the mental health problem is getting people to see how dangerous guns are and making sure people with histories of violence don’t get hold of them.

        I’d believe that if people actually only used them for hunting, but they don’t, and there’s nothing more awful than people with guns.

        Very true. There is also showing up to a BLM protest and “defending” yourself. You know like your buddy Kyle “crocodile tears” Rittenhouse did

          That Rittenhouse bastard - he should’ve been sent to prison for his entire life. What a murderous piece of filth.

            Not only do I try to forget, I actively work against hunting laws. To me hunting is as much a blood sport as killing children in a school. So no I didn’t forget about it, I just think people (who are men) who engage in it are sick and nasty people.

      Everyone knows how dangerous guns are. Part of the point of owning one is that it can be used in a dangerous situation to protect yourself.

      The mental issue part is why anyone would want to harm another human with one.
