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
It feels like I'm losing my mind - is anybody on the left in charge of gun policy in America? None of us are going to be able to make policy changes in America any time soon. I don't "prefer" a shootout to a society without guns, but I do live in a society with guns.
liberals advocate for handgun bans all fucking time you don't get to plead 'pie-in-the-sky' on this one.
Have they succeeded? NYC's just got shot down by the SC. I sincerely don't understand this policy wonk shit, nobody on the left is ever going to have access to policy decisions.
?why are you arguing with us about this? you're a leftist your opinion on policy doesn't matter
lol
