On the whole population where they belong instead of a carefully selected subset.
Yeah, fuck those kids. They went out and bought those weapons! They can kill themselves if they want!
I agree, we need to be able to threaten everyone we don't like with execution!
steal something? DEATH SENTENCE. vandalize something? DEATH SENTENCE. made me mad? YUP THAT'S A DOUBLE DEATH SENTENCE.
an armed society is a polite society, because I can just shoot you!
/s. if anyone wasn't able to tell
Hell yeah! That’s why I keep a vial of anthrax on me at all times. Never know when you might need it.
You forgot to mention, pull into my driveway on accident, DEATH SENTENCE, served immediately. I need all citizens of the US to be Judge, Jury, and Executioner to feel safe.
child ringing on doorbell? DEATH SENTENCE.
Oh no, kids are dying. Quickly tell everyone nothing ever happened in Tiananmen Square because spreading misinformation will help apparently.
Surely only people who want kids dead would point out misinformation. /s
You are a sad nihilist and you have a strange way of arguing your point. Comparing a random person quoting a stat from the internet on a social media post to the CCP covering up Tiananmen is so interesting. It takes what-about-ism to a whole other level. It wasn’t even misinformation, it was just a hastily googled fact from some random person on Lemmy.
Hard to believe you wouldn’t go with the usual, “What about cars? What about being fat?” As if any of that would be relevant to the shocking stats for gun violence deaths of children and young adults.
That's the issue, I am not arguing any point other than the main post is misleading. US gun laws are absolutely stupid. You desperately need a reform. I never disagreed with that. Sure, more people die of heart disease but that is much harder to fix than gun laws.
You are just projecting shit onto my comments that was never there and then get confused when I don't disagree in the way you expect.
Yikes. It doesn’t take too long before an attempted civil 2A debate lord shows their real view on life.
“I don’t accept your stats because those deaths only apply to children! Don’t skew the numbers!”
Eesh, I’m not quite sure how Biden got mixed into the discussion about gun control/gun violence. He has no plans to restrict access to guns at all. He’s even providing them to Israel so they can kill Muslim children.
Yeah, deleted the comment immediately when I realized it was poorly written. My stupid habit of pressing send before proof reading.
That being said, you may want to read again yours as well. Since when does calling lies lies means I support anything?
