If that's the reason for guns and huge cars, then it's one of the best takes I've ever seen for regulating the fuck out of both.
There are plenty of other ways to feel empowered, big boy. Go downhill mountain biking. Learn martial arts. Become a part time lumberjack. Whatever. But if you just need hobbies that make you pound your chest, there's really no reason to pick those that kill people or the planet.
Here's the chain of events:
You asked me a question
I answered it
You downvoted me after completely misunderstanding the point and still not understanding anything I said or why I said it, despite you being the one that asked me to explain it.
Why in the absolute fuck wouldn't I block you immediately so I never accidentally answer one of your questions again?
Like, I don't even know what the fuck you're doing.
Why ask me to explain something, agree that it's plausible, but down vote the answer I took the time to type just to help you because you said you couldn't understand something
Well, you know, the question was why that guns topic is so much more important than all the other atrocities going on. You see the relation in there? This idea of "I get there's topic A, but why the fuck would that matter more than actually relevant topics B through ZZ?" Any relevant answer would thus have to establish some relation between A and any other topic and maybe generalise this relation a bit.
Your answer was "guns and v8 make dick hard". More or less. Which is a not too elaborate but somewhat fair statement in itself, but, you know, kind of absolutely doesn't answer my question. Alas, you missed the topic. Happens to the best. But don't get all mad if you don't get your upvote then, pal.
