(63,216 posts)Tell us exactly tangible, verifiable measures you would impose to end the daily bloodbath that occurs in no other gun-legal nation on Earth.
Gun Apologists are very big on insisting that the right to possess machines for deliberate murder is more important than anyone's right not to be killed by a machine of deliberate murder, but their gun-loving mouths snap shut when pressed for details.
At most, we'll get some bullshit calling for the persecution of the mentally ill, along with some impotent and meaningless nonsense about universal background checks (invariably abbreviated as "UBC" because gun apologists are so cool). They petulantly dismiss any suggestion that might actually have an impact and demand instead that the quaint second amendment (invariably abbreviated either as "the 2A" as the "RKBA," because gun apologists are so cool) is the holiest of holies and must never be questioned or reviewed or examined too closely, and fuck all that nonsense about "well-regulated militia," because it simply means "any asshole who wants a gun."
And for god's sake, don't suggest that a gun is a phallic symbol, because these brave defenders of centuries-obsolete dogma are more offended by bawdy jokes than by hundreds of thousands of gun murders.
I'm eager to expand my Ignore list, so I welcome all gun apologists to tell me The Good News about their deadly fetish.
