Which has what to do with the current conversation exactly?
because guns are inappropriate for kids. but they have to live with them, and the fear of getting shot in school on a daily basis. but you sure wouldnt ban guns. or would you? those men in women clothes are way worse, arent they? even if the only one sexualising this is you. and people like you. kids sure dont.
You and your over the top non related straw man arguments are hilarious. Pop an adderall, you need it.
damn. stawman? how many kids get killed by drag queens? and you call other people ignorant? it would be funny, if it wasnt so sad. but better pop an adderal than kids at school.
non related? i thought you care for kids? but you seem to think guns dont pose a danger to kids in school every day. its just like i said. guns are no problem for you, even if kids, and all kind of innocent people, get shot nearly every day. you do not care for anybody at all. at least i think you dont. you just care about yourself while sexualising men in women clothes. grow up, buddy.
Quote where I said people were being killed by drag queens, I'll wait.
Do GUNS pose a danger, no. Mentally ill people and criminals do. You don't get to blame the tool for the actions of the person using it. That's not how real life works. Nobody blames a car when some drunk mows down a bunch of people for it, nobody blames alcohol when some drunk asshole with an attitude comes home shitfaced and beats his wife, the PERSON is blamed for their actions. Not the car, not the alcohol. Welcome to the real world.
i think were done here. it all goes wooosh above your head.
I wonder what the difference between a car and a gun is...
there is none? both are tools. a gun is like a hammer. just easier to kill with. /s
so, why is there no other country in the world with the amount of guns and killings like the US? if i understand you right - because the US is the place with the most mentally ill people and criminals in the world, right? reading your comments and seeing the political discourse in your country this does not seem far fetched. are you a mentally ill criminal yourself?
We have no shortage of either sadly, if you actually lived here you'd know for many years we've had serious issues with not treating people that are mentally ill, and dangerous. Criminals aren't prosecuted thanks to liberal gov'ts that literally let violent offenders walk right out the door. So yes, we very well may have more (in circulation) than many other countries do and that's a serious problem. Many people use that terrible situation to virtue signal a hatred of guns to their advantage, just as you're failing to attempt to do.
Again, if you actually lived in this country, you'd also be aware that states with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country also have the highest amount of gun crime vs those who don't. That's proven not to work, huge surprise! Legal gun owners aren't going out and shooting people and using them in crimes, who would have known right?
You've gone from childish to just stupid now, conversation over.
regarding your claims its statistically a valid question.
There's a connection. Focus on that word "appropriate" and you might get it. Words like "appropriate" and "reasonable" are highly subjective and don't belong in public policy.
