Don't come in here and play the wilting flower while simultaneously casting anyone who's tired of people getting gunned down as the following
Seriously, what do you expect after that tired line of clichés that only serve to put blame on people trying to save lives? We get the patriot act, the TSA and a greatly augmented NSA under a very much right wing administration and your problem is "the totalitarian left"???? Turn your brain on. Look who's feeding you those lines. If you want to talk about the current lack of reigning those entities in, let's do it but don't forget their origin.Big J said:
I fully believe that you (even strongly) believe these things because that's the line you've been fed and it makes you feel better about your need to own something that has no other purpose than to put fear and death into people and blow holes in things. But admit that's what it is. I do. All my buddies with their growing collections of AR variants do. It's fun to shoot things and feels very empowering. But when people are dying over and over and over again because the ease of purchasing very destructive tools gets defended to the death, take some fvcking responsibility for the peripheral effect of that.
Every time you try to dismiss any real discussion or the idea of making firearms just a teensy weensy bit more difficult to get, you're continuing a stubborn cycle that makes it easy for idiots to get guns. That's not the totalitarian left doing anything. That's you being deliberately blind and stubborn because you like your guns. This is a uniquely American problem and being typically American and stubborn will help nothing.
You seem like you can be a reasonable guy. But blaming an attempt to curb some violence as some sort of dictatorial, or authoritative over reach would indicate otherwise. We can have a real discussion, but when you've got a majority of congress off the record indicating they would support expanded background checks, but them none of them have the balls to do it publicly in a vote, THAT is a real problem. A totalitarian regime that wants to give people an education and health care isn't. The NRA scaring the shlt out of people through threatening their jobs or telling everyone they need to buy a product from their funders to live a safe life seems like much more of a problem to democracy to me.
