    The fuck you want me to do about it, go door to door rounding up all the guns by gunpoint? We’re living under a dictatorship and 150 million of us are completely insane

      I mean, tbh, we have over 600,000,000 guns and trillions of rounds of ammo in ~45% of the pop’s hands, no registry to know who/where those are, and at those numbers we’re a larger “force” (no organization) with more guns and ammo than most of the world’s militaries combined (and larger/more than ours “alone,” well, combined with our police actually). Sure they have the fancy toys, but…

      You’d have to go door by door and search literally every house AND somehow make sure the people to be searched don’t stash shit before you get there with someone who has been searched, and you’d have to get them all (not miss one hidden in floorboards), AND you’d have to restrict home depot purchases going forward, AND somehow not get smoked by a “cold dead fingers” ass motherfucker, all so we can make sure our totally not fascist government is the only one possessing arms.

      Good fucking luck. Even if someone could which is a big if, idk if they should considering that last bit.

        If the political temperature was about a thousand degrees cooler, it would be trivial to create a long-term buyback program and a lot of sensible laws for responsible owners.

        I had to sell my entire firearm collection when I fell into hard times and didn’t get close to what I paid for them, if they had a program that paid even 75% of a gun’s value you would have people lined up around the block to sell off their shitty old handguns and rifles they never use.

        But america will never, ever, ever let go of their weapons as long as everyone is afraid of their neighbors and their government.

      Let’s not pretend it was anything different Under any other president. Y’all are just blood thirsty maniacs. Not all of you but too damn many.

      The fuck you want me to do about it

      Not get all mad in a meme community for one. I do agree though that it ain’t your problem, so maybe you didn’t need to reply to this meme.

      Heck you think I’m out here calling people out for calling British food bland. Nope just move along.
