    It’s the worst political theater. It makes it look like something is being done when it isn’t. Gun sales go up and liberals feel good. More kids die.

        The solution is for law enforcement to properly enforce the existing laws that could have stopped countless shootings already.

        My personal solution is not to worry about gun violence because it’s extremely rare and highly unlikely to affect me. America is quite safe to live in for the majority of us.

          Oh, well as long as it is unlikely to affect you…

          I mean illegal abortion is unlikely to affect me, so why should I give a shit, am I right?

            That’s really a bad comparison, because you’re arguing for the point of taking away rights from Americans, by making reference to a right that was taken away (since it was never properly added to the Constitution). I support all rights for all Americans - we should all have the rights to bear arms and to privacy + bodily autonomy.

            So instead of arguing to take away more rights, you should be arguing to add more rights. Lobby for the rights to privacy and bodily autonomy instead.

              Make up your mind. Do you care about things that don’t affect you or not?

                Of course I do, and you should too. You should care about all the rights of Americans, just as I do and AS I ALREADY MENTIONED.

                I have already addressed everything you mentioned previously, so now you’re just pissing in the wind.

                    I like how you ignore the first half of their comment then reply to the personal part, aka the non political half, and examine it as if it the only thing they said about gun violence at all.
