Do you own a car?
Just curious, because cars kill more people than guns do. If I look through your comment/post history, will I see whether or not you're a hypocrite?
Oh, and if you don't live in the United States then shut the fuck up because you don't understand what you're talking about.
Edit: wow, fucking wild, dude has almost every single one of his comments centered on gun violence. Not a single fucking mention of cars killing people. Wild how you've fixated on the political topic and not one of the actual leading causes of death in the U.S.
Weird how the closest guns come to being a leading cause of death in the U.S. is suicide.
Why aren't you talking about things that are actually killing large amounts of people?
Yes but I only drive it when I'm completely sober, fully rested and wholly undistracted, like a responsible driver. I don't see why we need all these laws and enforcement when we can just ask new drivers to pinkie promise they'll be as cool and responsible and well endowed as I am. You may begin your applause whenever you deem it appropriate.
Of course, for my sarcasm to be accurate, I'd need to be telling this to people commenting on a news story about a drunk driver killing 4 people, and it would have to be the latest in a chain of daily drink driving fatalities that killed more than 4 people and drink driving would have to be legal.
Yeah, America doesn't need any fuckin advice about how to reduce gun violence from people who have reduced gun violence! They don't know what the fuck they're talking about!
Let me guess, you also think that pedophiles should determine the age of consent? After all, they're the experts on having sex with kids. What would I know, having had sex with exactly 0 children?
Or is your "only the problem is entitled to offer solutions" logic strictly for gun violence?
You seem to have mistaken me for someone who is an enthusiastic member of a pro-car death cult, working hard to ensure no safety measures are ever introduced and threatening to run people down if they try.
Why aren't you assassinating tyrants and stopping crime? Stick to the talking points the gun-lobby feeds you, your attempts to think for yourself are terrible.
