    Blows my goddamn mind. We’ll jail everyone involved in the sale of the gun but won’t stop the sale. Just a little bit of regulation. No one needs an ar-15 with a high capacity magazine. NO ONE, except the armed forces. I know this’ll get gun nuts lathered up but it’s true. Stop making guns your whole personality

      It’s a standard capacity mag, it’s not what any military uses. It’s a plastic semi-auto rifle, nothing more. It’s not magically more dangerous than any other semi-auto rifle.

      Instead of focusing political capital on trying to ban something that’s not going to magically reduce the number of firearm deaths in this country, we should be pushing for single payer, Ending the war on drugs, ubi, fixing our school system, making sure everyone has access to housing and food. There is so much we can do to reduce not only gun violence but all violence vs another awb which doesn’t work.

        Be careful, you dont want to be too common sense or you will be labeled a right wing idealogue. People fail to realize that criminals will find a way every time. They dont care about gun laws any more than any other law. These people would rather bandaid the issue than address what is pushing kids to want to shoot up their peers. Its the video games cause violence argument all over again.

      I’d be happier seeing the whole world’s armed services armed with food, medical supplies, vaccinations (not weird ones used to commit atrocities). It’s a longer term dream, to manifest, we’ve got to start from where we are.
