You didn't fully read my message dude. I know this because you brought the "gun self-defense" argument into this, which I didn't bring up. Additionally, I don't even own a gun. I don't trust myself with one because I'm highly likely to take my own life with it if I had one. However, go ahead and tell me how I'm self-absorbed for thinking that there are plenty of people who could be trusted with one. Then again, I crave the sweet release of death and the idea that I might not have to live another day is very appealing, so maybe I just want to get shot in a mass shooting, right?

I already laid out my thoughts on how gun control could be improved. I gave an example of a country with a similar system and it seems to be working pretty fucking well for them, and it's something which is better than the nothing that's currently happening.

At the end of the day though, it's not like it matters. American politicians only respond to threats of violence or when minorities get """too uppity""" and """don't know their place""". So what's the point? Why even bother? It's not like the US will get any better; it's only going to keep getting worse. Why even bother caring...
