I don't even support a 100% gun ban or anything, I just think this behavior is tasteless asf.

Edit: Get mad and tone police me all you want gunbros, I stand by this.

    So you want to ban guns, while assuming that the people who want guns will be able to obtain them illegally anyway. Do you think that banning guns will effectively deter mass shootings, or is it a strictly aesthetic position?

      No it's because I'm not American and think the rate of gun ownership in America is unsustainable for anything resembling a stable society long term.

      120 guns per 100 people in the USA. How is that supposed to work on any level. It just cannot. And despite all the guns, no revolution. It's almost as if gun ownership in the US is intended to maintain the status quo.

        Gun ownership is a form of virtue signaling here. The chuds have been doing it for ages, and after Trump became president the resistance libs started doing it too. It's a completely ridiculous status quo that only exists because it enriches Smith & Wesson, i agree.

          I just think as the US further enters the cool zone ™, the massive amount of guns everywhere is going to lead to unimaginable amounts of violence. Look at the gun involved homicide rate in very unequal and unstable global south countries. Now imagine how bad that would be with the US amount of guns? Once material conditions start going, it doesn't look great.

      i think rampage shooters acquire their weapons under a variety of circumstances and the preventive effects of any policy would be contingent on the details of that policy and how the weapons were obtained.

      this kid bought his guns, shittenhouse did a straw purchase: age-restricting the purchase of firearms would do something but not everything.
