    Do you have that many enemies that you need a gun to protect yourself? How often are people invading your home? Did you know that statistically you’re more likely to use your gun on yourself when you feel shit, which we all do sometimes, or shoot a loved one by mistake, than having to use it against home invaders? Where do you keep it? Must be easy to grab, in case someone invades your home. Easy access, for you but also anyone else. Like a kid for example. Yours or a visiting kid, a cousin for example. Or is it in a safe? “Hold on you home invader, let me grab my gun! Wait, what was my safe combination again? Let me think… Yo, why don’t you grab a coffee or something, I’ll get right back at you as soon as I have my gun.” Do you bring your gun to the toilet and shower? In case they invade while having a shit. Or do you also have a toilet gun? By the way, when you need a gun for home invaders… Are they out to kill you? Because if they are burglers, all they want is your TV. Is it worth killing them for that? Isn’t that a bit excessive? Do you live in Johannesburg South Afrika, or Somalia or something, that you have to worry about people coming into your home wanting to kill you?

    Fucking Americans and their guns.

      Fucking Leftists and their guns.*

      There fixed it for you.

        “Yeah! Guns are awesome! We can revolt against the government! Although I have an AR-15 and they have stealth drones. We do have school shootings because we can all want to have guns, but some kids dying here and there is worth it for me. No one takes my guns!”

        Karl Marx also had his flaws and lived in different times. No drones, no tanks, no smartphones connected to a monitored network, etc. Back then you brought a gun to a gun fight. Now you bring a tiny folding knife to a gun fight. Go buy an armed predator drone and an F35 fighter jet and you can make your point again.

        Fuck off. Go kill each other and be done with it. Just don’t drag the rest of us down with your stupidity.

          We have school shootings because we live in a deeply diseased society; a corrupt and rapidly corroding end-stage capitalist oligarchy. We no more need gun prohibition to solve the problem then we need a massive police state. What we really need: Affordable housing, fair compensation for work, universal health care (including dental and mental health), affordable childcare, suitable free time for leisure, affordable cultural activities, public events that build a sense of community, political reform, media reform, an end to exploitation in any sphere of life. Build a health society and you’d be amazed how many of our problems just melt away but instead Billionaires insist on bigger mansions and yachts.

          And the rest of you’re points are no points at all. Constantly disproven by history and current events.
