    …I’m probably one of the leading drug legalization figures in my state.

    But I’m also not an idiot who fetishizes weapons. You’re probably one of those weirdos who sleep with their gun.

    Oh, and to help your tiny brain a bit: My drugs cannot kill you over a distance of 500 meters at a speed close to or faster than the speed of sound.

    Additionally, countless of generations of humans have lived without any firearms at all. Even giant pussies like you are going to be fine.

    we need publicly funded mental health care as much as we need gun control.

    While the US definitely needs publicly funded (mental) health care, it will not address the gun issue. It doesn’t matter if a country has public health care or not, what matters for gun related deaths is either a) number of (civil) guns or b) (civil) war.

    Do not give into gun nuts in this regard. Do not agree that the US needs both. The US needs exactly and only one thing when it comes to gun deaths: Fewer guns.

    Hell and that’s a Fox “News” poll

    That’s why I instantly saved it to my phone. This picture has such a high value in “discussions” with gun freaks.

    I’m working for a NATO countries’ military, am a frequent poster and avid follower of NonCredibleDefense, own weapons myself, know a lot about their inner workings and history, but even I am not even remotely as crazy as those people.

    Then again, I do own several weapons but advocate that my government pass laws to take them away. Guess I’m kind of a paradoxical outlier in this matter.

    Not sure what this instances views on “advocating violence” are, so I’m trying to explain it as non-violently as I still can:

    Americans want gun control. That’s not up for discussion. It’s an absurd majority.

    However, as long as it is “only” school children and ordinary civilians dying, Republicans will not change their stance on gun control in the slightest. The people who are responsible to fix this are the only group that is not at any risk of getting shot. They are so absurdly protected that they will never be on the receiving end of a barrel, and therefore, do not care.

    And to make matters worse, the Republicans dictating the supreme court, who will block anything that could possible address this problem, not only cannot be voted out, no, they literally have to die before they can be replaced.

    The only people who could fix the gun murder issue are the ones not dying because of guns.
