Yet with all these amazing weapons of mass destruction in their pantry, every single domestic terrorist just goes and buys a gun instead.
I'm sure the executives over at Chlorox are thrilled to hear that if radicalised psychopaths started killing and maiming thousands of people a year with their products, you'd fight to protect their profits.
But I'm not interested in solving every vague act of violence you're able to inflict on the people in your imagination, I'm interesting in solving the violence that is happening right now, to real people, using a specific tool.
I honestly can't imagine being so self-absorbed that I felt entitled to choose death for other people.
Of course, it's apologist bullshit anyway, which means you've had a single thought about it and decided "job done".
Most people being murdered in America aren't being killed with that level of premeditation. Someone (usually a man) has a gun on their person or laying around their house, they lose control of their emotions, then they shoot someone.
People don't tend to have a cup of acid in their bedside drawer but in the extremely likely event acid attacks became even a fraction of gun deaths, you have my full support to change the laws to address it.
Because I'm not on a death cult.
