  • I really just think it’s trump. he has zero shame or self inflection, or respect for himself, so he doesn’t care. he just lies and lies and feeds people bullshit. didn’t do anything, but told people what they wanted to hear, that news was fake, trust him not your eyes, and anyone not white is a problem. it was all the fuel idiots needed to “team up” and wear diapers. their boring lives now had a purpose and a team lol.

    not that someone else won’t try, but they played all their cards, I think it’s going to calm down after this. they’ll still bitch and moan about a black female president, but fuck em, we did what we needed to and it’s time to let a woman, especially a black woman, mindfuck them for 4 years.




  • it’s because guns are literally weapons

    everything is a weapon in the right/wrong hands. in my experience, even with my fiance, they’re scare of guns because they don’t know how they work. now, she still doesn’t like them, but now that we’ve at least gone shooting and she knows how they work, they can’t magically just fire by being bumped or dropped (looking at you Taurus), she can at least use one if she really really needed to.

    people are afraid of what they don’t understand, plain and simple. look at first time drivers, white knuckling the steering wheel. once they get acclimated, they become better and the fear fades. and many people may go their whole life without ever seeing a gun in real life, but im in the usa and firearms are unfortunately here to stay.

    I’m not saying she has to be become a gun expert and know how to tear it down and clean it, but having a better knowledge of how it works alleviates a lot of the fear people have about firearms.

    it’s desensitisation to people literally carrying weapons around.

    never said anything about people carrying them, i don’t carry mine anymore even though i do have my ccw. people are also afraid of dogs if they’ve never been around dogs. and again, you don’t have to like or choose to be around dogs, but knowing that not every dog will bite or attack you just because they’re within arms reach is already a step in the right direction.

    Pretty much everyone understands perfectly well what a gun is and what it does

    gonna have to disagree here, movies are not realistic and they definitely create a lot of the fear people have towards them.

    “Gun safety” is a poor argument when objectively the safest thing is to just not be around guns.

    sometimes this isnt a choice, and burying your head in the sand is the worst thing you can do.


  • gun safety is important and a critical step in understanding guns. you don’t have to like them, but you should at least understand them to not be scared of them. they are a tool, and when used correctly and for the right job, they are invaluable. I’m not a gun nut, I own one single handgun. but just like anything, people fear what they don’t understand.

    yes, they’ve been promoting violence for decades, that’s why it’s hilarious that someone used Trump’s words against him and took a shot, then all the Rs cried about “political violence”. gtfo, youve been calling for violence and murder your entire campaign, and before.
