  1. A car or truck could mow people down in a grocery store? That's a good way to damage your vehicle. Bombs require skill to construct (the good ones at least). And the FBI might be on to you if you attempt to do it. A high-powered rifle, on the other hand, is subject to none of these limitations. You think there's a reason the U.S.A. is the only developed country where it is legal to obtain, possess, and carry military-grade weapons?

  2. More like "Oh sh*t, things are getting out of hand, we ought to do something about this!" But ok . . .

  4. The U S. has the most firearms per capita of any country in the world (Yemen is a distant second), being the only nation on EARTH with more guns than people. Not surprisingly, we also have the highest rates of gun violence of any country in the developed world by far. Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Norway, and almost all other developed countries have some of the strictest gun laws, and also have the lowest rates of gun violence of any country in the world. Coincidence? I think not. This is the price you pay for "freedom." I hope it's worth it. Fun fact: 9 out of the top 10 states with the highest rates of gun violence per capita are the Republican-led states of Alaska, Mississippi, Wyoming, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Montana.

  5.  @leelarue1354  Ridiculous. Cars are necessary for transport. That's their primary purpose. A firearm's primary purpose is to kill.

  6.  @squiblift2019  Universal background chekcs. Federal imitations on high-capacity magazines. Red flag laws that would prohibit people who make threats about "m*rder-su*cide" at high school graduation ceremonies to legally purchase a firearm. There are options, and we have utterly failed to consider them because of the undue influence of the gun lobby (the NRA).

  7.  @squiblift2019  Personally, I cannot take anyone seriously who believes the government could become "tyrannical" at any moment and that they need the means to defend themselves so as to (as Jefferson wrote) overthrow the government and establish a new one that fears the people, not dominates them (I'm totally on board with that, I lean towards anarchism) --- but who ALSO says that our military should be the most powerful in the world and that the bloated budget of $770 BILLION should be maintained or even increased year after year. Using history as our guide (the American Revolution, for example), who do they think the politicians or a dictator will use as his/her/their shield to remain in power? The MILITARY, of course. Did we already forget that it was the British army who defended their colonies in the Seven Years' War, and then when the colonies rebelled, that same military was used against them? You want the people who would potentially be defending a brutal dictator (the Commander-in-Chief) to have MORE sophisticated weapons and means of subjugation? Are you INSANE? Here at least the libertarians have an argument --- the gun-toting neoconservatives have no idea what they want in such a scenario. Hope the hearts of the people with the most firepower (our servicemen and women) are turned in our favor, I guess --- and there, I'm afraid to say, history is not on your side.

  8. Biden: "What are Republicans for?" I can answer that for you: - More tax cuts for the rich - Endless war - Rampant corruption - Voter suppression - Cuts to the already miniscule social safety net (by developed standards) - Wall Street deregulation and bailouts - No environmental protections - Hindering unionization efforts - Nonstop distractions about culture war garbage (Dr. Seuss/Potato Head, Sexy M&M's, Critical Race Theory, transgender bathrooms) - Obstructing any substantive material improvement in the lives of ordinary Americans (like healthcare, childcare, homecare, paid maternity leave, extended child tax credit, lower prescription drug costs, and student loan debt relief) - Privatizing everything - Defenestration of separation of church and state - Government overreach into your personal business (mass surveillance, regulating your sex life, your anatomy, your intake of certain substances, etc.) In other words: Everything that would objectively make the lives of ordinary working-class Americans worse. "lEt'S gO bRaNdOn" my @ss!!
