Yeah it’s the same here in Canada. It’s honestly not even like we don’t have guns; I grew up in a small town and a lot of families had them for hunting. The difference though is that they were always locked up and treated as a dangerous tool rather than just a toy or a fashion accessory like they seem to be in the US.
The thought of fearing for my life regularly to the point where I feel the need to carry a firearm for self preservation is absurd to me and gives me active warzone vibes. I don’t understand how Americans can’t see that adding more guns is the most brain dead “solution” to their problems.
They haven’t even used their weapons to take on an oppressive government like they’ve endlessly claimed they’d do
Your last claim is absolutely infuriating, because it’s so incredibly dumb.
The liberals in the US has become convinced that the tool themselves are the problem, rather than the systemic issues that drive violence. The result has been that they’ve done everything that they can to limit or ban access to firearms; the actual result of their attempts has been to make it harder for marginalized people - such as the black woman in the video - to legally have firearms in many places. Sure, the laws treat everyone equally, but they have disproportionately impacted marginalized people. The other effect is that people left of center largely treat firearms as taboo and evil, so they simply refuse to own them, or be competent in their use.
In other words, libs have disarmed themselves. That leaves the conservatives and fascists as the ones holding the guns. And why the fuck would they oppose the oppressive government that they voted into power?
