The 1st amendment says I’m allowed to post this.
insert marx quote about guns
It becomes a problem when your entire society or image is based around it. Or when there are so many school shootings they aren’t even in the news anymore. Or when the arms manufacturers keep producing them to sell to citizens and use that is a justification to sell more equipment and guns to the police.
No no I didn’t mean to make it sound like you were making an anti gun comment. I agree with you about the 2a. You’re saying the same things I say to people.
they aren’t even in the news anymore.
If the media stopped salivating over them and stopped dropping everything else to do live coverage as they stick cameras and mics in victims’ faces, that would be a good thing.
You’re right. But at what point does not reporting on them seem as though they are “hiding” them for lack of a better term? They are still happening of course.
Or when your society has highly criminogenic levels of wealth inequality, alienates people so badly that some of them just snap, is propped up by an ideology with all the semiotics of fascism (including the “gun = penis” part) and tries to keep all of that under control by waging a low-scale war on its own populace.
In other words, having conditions that don’t turn people into murderers is a fairly huge part of gun safety.
:freeze-peach:
Everyone is a liberal except for me
I don’t agree with what you say, but I’ll fight to the death for your right to say it.
:cringe:
saying shit like this will only come back to bite you in the ass. you’re not gonna be the one running the secret police lmao
It’s a good ideal, and saying you’re against freedom of speech because it’s “liberal” is pure dork shit
No one actually believes in freedom of speech, leftists are just honest about it. The bourgeoisie certainly don’t, their usage of the rhetoric is entirely cynical; the first law restricting anti-war speech in the US was passed only 9 years after the first amendment was written. Chuds think they believe in freedom of speech, but head on over to a chud forum, post something they don’t like, and watch how quickly you get banned.
In the US you are allowed to say whatever you want, provided it has no effect
