I'm confused
Who are "you guys"?
And what does "did gun control laws?" mean exactly?
The thought that nobody on here wants to own firearms or stock up for defense of the people they care about (especially in countries who have recently slid further down the fascism slide) is laughable.
This feels like a "so much for the tolerant left" post.
Lmao "tolerant left" is how we got here.
The liberal left opposing Trump and the alt-right. Thought that was implied by the meme, but I guess not.
And please, just about the only thing I've seen on Lemmy until this week has been the same tired regurgitated gun control talk by the Democrats.
Got it, you're blind.
Not really, but I do have a memory
Gun control laws != Being unarmed
Oh, ffs, how are stricter gun laws going to help?
How do driving licenses and driving license tests help? I believe a gun license and gun license test would help in the same way.
Alright. I don't know enough about American gun laws, so I'm going to leave it at that I think.
In the majority of US states, you don't need to show any ID to buy a gun at a gun show, flea market, etc.
There's this strange conservative delusion the gun control means no guns. Not allowing fully automatic weapons of war in the hands of citizens is reasonable. Not just letting any random person with a history of violence is reasonable gun control. Making sellers go through the effort to enforce the rules in place instead of subverting it for a sale or their personal beliefs is reasonable.
I'm pretty liberal and I think you should have a right to have a handgun and rifle if you are a competent adult, with the same regulations we use regarding cars. Personally, it's probably wise for women and lgbtq+ to open carry in morr conservative areas for a while.
