    Hey, look, it’s divisive rhetoric!

    Crimes and violence are caused by unjustified heirarchies, in particular, the ruling class ruling over the working class.

    You know what would reduce school shootings? Publicly funded mental health services for young people.

    This kind of post is aimed at dividing the working class into two groups, pro-gun, and anti-gun. Refuse to give in to their messaging. Solidarity across the WHOLE working class!

        Would it? Is that the only solution?

        Why do Yemen and Switzerland have such high ownership and no school shootings?

        Don’t get me wrong, less guns would be good for many reasons. And I think we can get there, eventually. But right now, I have zero confidence that our government is fit to enforce any law fairly. Neonazis are openly running the DoD and ICE, this is not the time to dial back the Bill of Rights.

          Oh yes, gun nutters will murder people if you try and take their guns away. They will also just murder people period.

          There is no mental help for these terrorists.

            I’m a firm believer of firearm ownership, especially for the marginalized groups in the USA right now. That said we need better mental health services and people who have a distinct lack of empathy should not own one to begin with.

              Yes, arm both sides like the fascist love to do. Clearly you have the wool pulled over your eyes.

                Removal of firearms is also a fascist thing. I’d rather have an armed trans person next to me than a RWNJ. That trans person is higher likely to be mentally stable, trained, and practiced. As well given the targeting of trans people to marginalize them to the point that they can then be exterminated as is the Heritage Foundation’s plan, I’m going to say you have a lousy take.

                  Giving guns to trans isn’t going to solve the problem and you should be ashamed for suggesting it is anything other than setting people up to be killed. Your take is impossibly dumb.

                    You seem to think that they’ll be allowed to live under this regime in the first place. Also why is it that they want to take away their ways to arm and organize exactly? What could be the reason they would want them isolated and unarmed?
