    Repeatedly linked. Have the gun lobby built a GPT bot and taught it to sealion?

    You should get a job at a suicide hotline and when people call up, ask them if they’ve considered buying a cool gun and shooting things because after all, it makes no difference at all if you give suicidal people firearms.

    You know, because Australia banned semi-automatic weapons.

      So more generalisations no studies no statistics, nothing of value to the conversation. More baseless claims and empty straw manning. Keep up the good work big oil.
