MODERATORS
Lemmy is antigun and gun control is antigun. Stop getting them confused. I've had this argument plenty here on lemmy, and have presented tons of evidence that the majority of the left would ban guns if they had the ability to do so.
You don't get to shout for an AWB, registration, wanting only approved places to shoot, banning basically everything but small calibers, making the cost via taxes be so high that only the rich could own them, etc. and say that your not antigun.
Because that's your argument. Death by 1000 cuts comes into play here. When you effectively make it impossible to own something but then allow for a few fringe cases to exist, and say "well you can own it see". You have effectively banned it, without banning it.
And I'm not using proNRA trash. The NRA is a shit organization and can go bankrupt for all I care. Stop conflating the two.

Straw man. The rest of your post is riddled with them too but I'm not going to bother. I'm just going to put you on ignore.
You're moderation history and my own interaction with you here tells me I'm not going to be missing anything.
Lol what does this prove anything? It banned rifles based on no logic, didnt stop mass shootings and was a complete failure. Way to prove my point.
You keep sticking your head in the sand.
