more guns aren't making americans safer.

(a claim i've read on du more than once.)

home printing of...undetectable guns? More school security, but guns are exempt??

Insanity...as the head of the Major Cities Police Chiefs said...who, of course, the fucking NRA disagrees, because who would know better?

Is just a great big "Fuck You" to the advocates of Gun Control.

They are trying to prove that if you can print a gun, all Gun Control is useless, and shouldn't even be attempted.

I say "Fuck You" to people with that mindset. It's way past time for major Gun Control in this country.

EFF backed him. The government has backed off. Not prescribing, just describing. Many right wing media have been following this guy and his crypto-libertarian people since 2014.

These people are all against democratic principles. All they really want is a white autocracy that tries to force their beliefs on everyone else, especially those hated liberals who are all the spawn of the Devil. Will they finally be happy when no one can leave home without bullet-proof clothing and complete head armor to avoid being killed at the grocery store?

All statistics are a liberal hoax.

I can't think of any sweeping changes in gun laws at that time. Nutjobs were buying guns at a higher rate due to Obama as president, but they're always stockpiling weapons. The ecomony was in recovery mode on the upswing, not declining like it was 5 yr before.

It has to be a combination of smaller events that, combined, had a sizeable impact.

I won't link the right wing media sources of these but they are frequent front page narratives:

1. The "Liberal Gun Grab"

2. Ann Coulter says "I Prefer KGB Agents to Americans"

3. The Race War and all its police/Obama dog whistles

4. Liberals and Antifa are Evil

5. Invading Muslims and Immigrants

6. Cody Wilson, his new 3D gun, and crypto-anarchists (Amazon, YouTube keep up with Mance Rayder types)

7. You name it _____________________________


If you don't believe me, talk to people, as I have, who own guns. Just mention feelings of dangers around, and watch how their eyes light up and how much they intend to use them to defend themselves against the above.

Myself and my liberal friends included. None of us worried about using guns for much beyond hunting and skeet shooting until the last election.

Oddly enough, we only started semi-joking about using guns in defense against two-legged predators in the past year or so.

The fear is spreading to both sides as we become further polarized, I fear.
