    You’re literally pulling out QAnon level of conspiracy theories to justify banning a firearm based on design. Mass shooters use the AR-15 because it’s the most common rifle in the nation. Also, mentally ill people are MORE likely to suffer gun violence than commit it. No one fucking cares about what your white guilt says. Move out of the way and let POC lead gun control.

    And no, I don’t give a shit about patriotism, anyone who wants to be a patriot for a nation built in stolen land, genocide, and owning human beings is not someone I’d consider a friend.

      Nah, I explained myself, and I stand by it. Plenty of people still say that the tobacco companies and oil companies never did anything wrong. People were accused of spreading conspiracy theories until it ALL came out in court, and it was worse than anyone thought. That’s not conspiracy theory, that’s just truth, and I don’t have any more faith in the gun industry.

      I get it, you’re just an apologist for your favorite hobby. I like guns, too, like I said, but I also don’t like seeing innocent people unnecessarily hurt by them. I’m human like that. Apparently you aren’t. Good luck with that.

        Only those who have the correct skin color, you mean. Banning AR-15s would save like 75 white people per year at best, restricting handguns on the other hand would save thousands, but since they’re not blue eyed blondes they don’t matter to you.

          Nothing I said had a thing to do with race, but you had to go there anyway, demonstrating that YOU are the racist in this conversation.
