the reason people are strongly pro-2A isn’t because they are gun fetishists or value guns over people, that’s stupid and helps nothing to try and paint them like that. it’s because they don’t trust the government. but will government accountability ever be the convo? no. it won’t
ask yourself. why do people not trust our government? why have human’s over the course of history not trusted governments? then look at governments in history’s body counts and track records. i don’t have an answer to gun violence but in my personal opinion, start there.
this isn’t me saying someone’s personal firearm is any match for the weaponry the us military has. but many people will still cite that as one of their main reasons for wanting guns. the fact they have such mistrust knowing they have zero chance of winning, that says something.
so if you want to disagree with me that’s fine, but before you angrily reply for considering other angles, sorry for trying to think about this deeper than just the object. sorry for being sick of the same talking points over and over again. i’m tired and i grieve for lives lost.
