    Alcohol should indeed be far more restrictive, so you’re argument there kinda falls flat.

    Yea prohibition worked really well.

    Also most people advocate for getting rid of any potential deaths? But because people also die while drowning, that means guns shouldn’t also be further restricted and managed?

    You don’t get rid of pools because people drown, you make sure people can swim, and that their are lifeguards watching.

    In the case with firearms. There are already shit loads of laws in place. They clearly don’t have the effect you think they do. Instead of spending political capital on a lost cause, you could instead focus on the why it happens. Single payer healthcare, better funding for schools, making sure children don’t turn to gangs because their parent or parents are working 3 jobs to keep some sort of roof over there heads. There is a massive amount of things that can be done that would curb the guns deaths in this country, that don’t require more dumbass laws from people who don’t understand the why.

    The same goes for cars, drugs, drinking, poison warnings. It doesn’t matter what causes the death, we try to limit it as best as we can, and not make excuses that some deaths are okay just so you can pretend to be a big strong man with a gun.

    You can buy a car at any age, with no insurance, in cash and transport it via state lines with no problems. Can’t do that with a gun.

    Drugs??? So you agree with the war on drugs which has done nothing but turn our country into a prison state? Bit odd…

    Drinking, just need to be 21… nothing more…

    Poison warnings? Lol the fuck

    I’ll ignore that last bit cause I see you’re unable to actually defend the shit you think is right by throwing personal insults at me.

    You think there aren’t laws designed for people like this not to acquire firearms?

    People can put up a pool without a fence.

    More children die by a magnitude of 10 compared to those killed in school. 800-1k a year drown. Less than 50 kids a year are killed in random school shootings. And that just drowning, add in alcohol related deaths, and the number shoots way way up.

    Yet you’re ok with pools. Which serve zero purpose. Firearms at least have a purpose.

    So yea you don’t care that kids die, you only care how they are killed.

    Those drills are also as pointless as the nuclear drills from the 60-70s… they’re pointless and do nothing but cause kids to become fearful of shit that is more rare than them drowning.

    The NHLP is… they’ve broken off from the main LP party which already had some stupid ideas, but even the main LP has distanced themselves from the NHLP because of how absolutely batshit they are. They’re not really LP anymore, it’s more of a group of racist/bigoted sovereign citizen types who banded together because they figured they’d make some fucked up utopia.

    She carried knives before we met, owned pistols and went shooting a lot (we still shoot a ton after being married for nearly 20 years). She is about as progressive and feminist as they come. Assuming that you understand that not all women are fragile and scared. Plenty of them grew up without fear, but independence and stong will. It seems to be only recently that people are becoming fearful of everything. Social media has really driven people to think the world is super dangerous, when it’s literally the safest time in human history.
