You get into pedantic discussions about this or that flimsy liberal panacea around cosmetic rifle features and rates of fire. The way gun laws are written today, you'd think we could resolve the whole problem by limiting our national arsenal exclusively to pump action shotguns and revolvers.

For all conservatives are absolute fascist shits, there's a real kernel of truth to the "economically insecure" argument they'll occasionally make. Gun violence and poverty are tightly correlated. Gun violence and toxic masculine culture are tightly correlated. Gun violence and high levels of stress are tightly correlated. A lot of this shit could be mitigated by simply reducing the economic anxieties of young people.

Just ask Tetsuya Yamagami.
