I lose my cool when people say the same old lib talking points about how awful mass shootings are and how we need "common sense" gun control. It's the combination of smarmy :maybe-later-honey: :maybe-later-kiddo: attitude and unwillingness to consider the implications of policy, or the history of similar disarming of leftists and vulnerable groups. So I get a little hot and I bully them. Then, they play the "actually I'm [member of vulnerable group] " or "my sibling died to gun violence" card. Great so now I'm an asshole.

Am I wrong to bully people for shallow thinking and smug attitudes. Do I stoop to their style of rhetoric playing up atrocities like the Shanghai Massacre of disarmed leftists by the KMT or how cops kill and abuse black people with impunity after disarming the Black Panthers with the Mulford Act? These fools think these cops will protect us? It's so frustrating.

idk maybe they're just radlibs in leftist spaces

    Snappy, but if you were to organize the biggest and most grassrootsiest gun control campaign in US history, you would still stand no chance of disarming boat dealers and their murderous failsons

      Oh I am well aware, if sandy hook didn’t get it done nothing will. You can’t appeal to the morality of that which has no morals.
