there’s some states where smoking weed recreationally is illegal and people still do it. gun control laws would take guns out of the people defending themselves.

Guns do great things when in the hands of great people. If there were “common sense” gun laws, dozens of shootings wouldn’t have been stopped by good-acting gun owners. A large portion of shootings are done with people who purchased guns illegally. No gun law is going to stop that.

People who want guns will get them either way. Like drugs. Something needs to be fixed but u can’t just ban guns and expect it to work

it’s about who has the gun. put them in a mental institution, do better back ground checks, have better security.

I want a gun, and I want to have it and use it as I see fit, and if society puts me in jail for it then that’s what happens. I think the problem is without mental health as a country and our school system in how we raise people

you act like him talking about his religion and party directly takes away funding for those things. yes, the government need reformation in all those areas, however, someone advocating to keep our basic rights doesn’t make them a worthy candidate of MURDER.

Well if there were armed people protecting children in schools, then that number would be a lot more. But you’re opposed to armed teachers.

Also a large majority of gun deaths are not in schools. School/mass shootings make up a very small percentage of gun deaths so if you base your gun opinion off of mass shootings alone that’s just not a good way to go about it

How about we talk why people even want to commit that act. It’s a mental health issue. Guns and bad mental health don’t mix.

people still drive without their seatbelts but laws mandating they be worn have significantly decreased deaths both as a result of not wearing them and killing others due to not wearing them

i've yet to see any solid evidence that self defense is a common (or even rare) use case of firearms. however there is a study of thousands of people that found living in a house with a gun more than doubled people's likelihood of being shot

funnily enough that's one of the contributing factors to the increased likelihood of being shot. tons of people shoot their loved ones thinking they're intruders regardless i'm not here to do fantasy roleplay and what ifs. the numbers don't lie; self defense is a rare use of firearms whereas the presence of firearms increases the likelihood of innocent people being shot

There have been hundreds of cases where the very presence of a SRO prevented an attempted shooting by simple deterrence. There’s a reason most such events take place in explicitly gun free zones. And off the top of my head I can think of three shootings which were stopped by civilians with guns. There have been more but I don’t keep a catalog of these things.

are you uncreative or can you only think to protecting yourself with a gun? if there’s less gun manufacturing then the thief breaking into my house is super unlikely to have a gun. literally just get a taser.

perfect solution fallacy once again. you can’t have an all or nothing mindset bc its unrealistic. i could clap back and say what if these “ drugs” were legal, then we’d have an even bigger problem. but they aren’t, are they? if you’re unwilling to implement something that allows room for improvement just bc the success rate isn’t 100%, that’s strange.

sadly, not all republicans have guns for just those reasons. see: racially motivated mass shootings, white supremacist compounds, etc. not to mention the ones calling for lgbtq+ people to be “lined up against the wall and sh*t in the back of the head”… i sincerely hope the man who said that and the people who agree with him aren’t gun owners
