I used to think that. Now that I understand what my government is capable of, I firmly believe we need a 4th branch of government called ‘we the fucking people have guns too’. Consider the constant repetition of ‘the shooter used an AR-15 style rifle’ by the paid propagandists is to make it seem like it’s an epidemic that must be cured by banning all guns (that could enable a resistance). I will sit here in my bomb bunker clutching a bible and gun praying that’s never needed. 😉

I am not against gun ownership. But I am for more control over who is qualified for certain type of guns, and there needs to be more responsibility imposed on ownership - for a greater level of public safety - for us all.

Yes crazy people should not have access to guns (of course they’ll call anyone suspicious of government agencies too crazy to own a gun). Tough nut to crack

Freedom - doesn't mean you're free to do whatever the fuck you want in a civil society. Everybody gets to enjoy freedom, but only because we all agree upon certain rules to protect our freedoms. And some of these rules ought to be in regard to the billionaire sociopaths currently running the US into the ground, making money anyway they can - for themselves.

Freedom isn't something where you can be a selfish asshole and drive down a residential street at 100 mph. Freedom means we all respect the freedom of other people we live with who are our neighbors, and agree upon the value of each person's life - and don't exploit them to the hilt - just because you can.
