Yes, it has happened. That’s because I base my opinions on reality, not hero fantasies and gun-lobby propaganda.

Want to know the difference between Matthew Shepard and all the LGBT people you’re sacrificing to your cult? The people who killed Matthew Shepard didn’t get away with it.

Off you go then. Shoot some people with your cool guns. Or is it only other people who are supposed to throw their lives away for your bullshit rhetoric?

Always the same bullshit pro-gun comments pushing minorities to buy guns, but never telling them who they’re supposed to shoot and how it’s supposed to help.

If just owning a gun stops this, why is it happening? Why is it happening more often in America compared to countries with stricter gun laws?

If those guns need to be used, who are we shooting and when? This senator? Police? Trump? The far-right would be thrilled. They could open fire on anybody wearing rainbows and claim “I feared for my life” because the second amendment does far more to enable scumbags and extremists than it does to save minorities.

They got your money. They don’t care where you store them. They don’t even care if they kill your daughter. They only oppose safe storage because they know the extra upfront cost will lose them sales.

Just look at it through the lens of “would this increase or decrease the profits of the gun lobby?” and everything falls into place.

I understand the sentiment, but I’m tired of settling for “good” when “significantly better” is just there.

They also may have run the numbers and decided that social media teaches more kids to accept people regardless of race, gender, sexuality or neurotypicality than it trains to be far-right xenophobic dogshit.

I can’t really think of any other reason they’d do this. They don’t do anything unless it’s in their self interest.

The stupid cosplayers still have the means to murder unarmed, desperate civilians for the crime of being born on the wrong bit of dirt with the wrong amount of melanin.

That’s why they’re going. We don’t need to politely pretend that the people who kill children for ringing their doorbell or accidentally getting in their car aren’t just looking for any excuse to kill someone with their cool guns.

Scientifically baseless?

It’s good, but its offering crumbs to people who are starving. Overdraft fees were extremely predatory and we’re being promised that after decades of that, maybe it will be reigned in, if we’re lucky.

Meanwhile, the fucking world is ending.

Class solidarity is drilled into rich white kids from the moment they’re born. He might be orange and dumb as dogshit but he remains a member of the rich white guy club.
