No, seriously. Fuck the NRA, amirite?

9. This is the last thing I'm going to say before returning to just trashing all these threads.

First: I absolutely favor the abolition of all firearms, including and especially the so-called police who have become nothing but a pseudo-military force of thugs whose only purpose is to intimidate and suppress the citizens of this formerly great nation.

Second: I recognize the absolute fact that this is not going to happen in this nation for generations. That this cannot be achieved piece-meal, a little at a time, or by nibbling around the edges and slowly eroding what is, like it or not, a defining characteristic of America.

Third: All that can be achieved in this area is a blizzard of ineffective, unenforceable, feel-good laws that might make you feel good but will result in election losses for the party that does it for years and years and years to come. IOW, this is nothing but a life-continuation policy for the republican party that won't even achieve the all-to-modest goal of reducing the number of Americans that will continue to slaughter each other with depressing regularity.

And last: That this is not going to change as long as the U.S., China, Russia, U.K., and France, are both the world's largest arms dealers and the 5 permanent members of the UN Security council. We are the Biggest Dick on the planet and we became that by making sure that our arms industry dominates the world. Until that changes, how many of us kill each other will remain completely off the list of what matters to the people that matter.


Edit: It effects your life.
