    I don’t care if you burn down police stations, figuratively or literally. I’m just sick to fucking death of pro-gun people seeking out vulnerable minorities and convincing them that buying a gun is anything other than a donation to the Republican party.

      Dude I was responding to the point of “Why dont pro-gun people advocate shooting cops” not some point about how buying firearms is unethical. As for that point, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Shopping at Walmart probably contributes just as much if not more to the republicans than buying a 1911 or an AR-15. Dont know if ya noticed but we’ve got a bit of a Nazi problem again, and frankly even if we keep the republicans out of office they will probably cause problems for minorities.

      As for the claim that folks like myself are preying on minorities, I am of the general opinion that adults have the ability to tell if they think they may need a firearm or not. One of my best friends is trans and a tad bit too suicidal to trust himself with one, one of my other friends has at least two shotguns in his closet. I have no guns cause Ronald Reagan started the trend of shitty guns laws here in California and I am also a broke motherfucker.

        You don’t need to make guesses. You can see how much the gun lobby donates (and to what scumbags).

        Damn, so the Nazi problem must be even worse in places like Australia and the UK who have “banned guns” right? Oh look at that. It isn’t. Because guns don’t prevent Nazis.

        But goddamn, do those gun laws ever help Nazis. I don’t know how many Nazis there are with AR-15s in England, but if I was betting on something that fucked, my money would be on “zero”. Meanwhile in America there must be what… at least a million?

        So thanks for that. Thanks for ensuring that the “problems” they cause minorities aren’t just slurs and fists, but being executed in the street by a “responsible gun owner”.

        What a cool situation the pro-gun community has put them in. If they’re murdered by a far-right fuckstain with a legal gun, the pro-gun community will victim blame them because they didn’t have a gun. If they buy a gun and kill themselves with it, they’ll be swept under the rug because suicides don’t count for the pro-gun crowd.

        Then your friend should secure their firearms properly.
