    Everyone together!

    Pretty 👏 much 👏 no 👏 one 👏 needs 👏 a 👏 gun 👏 in 👏 first 👏 world 👏 countries!

    They 👏 should 👏 be 👏 made 👏 illegal 👏 for 👏 most!

    (Unsurprisingly I see a bunch of blank comments from users I blocked in the past, can’t wait to add more to the list!)

    Edit: If you downvote me could you please comment just so I can make sure I block all the people who don’t believe in reality?

    Edit 2: Oh man that’s funny, there’s someone following my history and automatically downvoting every comment I make 😂

      Where I live lots of less fortunate people rely on hunting for a source of meat through the winter, I think “illegal for most” is a stretch. Tighter controls, red flag laws and extensive background checks, absolutely. Flat out illegal to own? That’s absolutely a deprivation of liberty for lots of people.

      If that’s enough reason to block me that’s unfortunate.

        Put all the money going towards gun related issues into social programs and these less fortunate people won’t need guns either. I mentioned it in another discussion but if my uncle lived in a northern community of 200 where they sometimes had bears on their porch in the morning and didn’t own a gun then you need a pretty fucking great justification to need one.

        Heck, they could even have rental programs for the people you’re talking about, but they would never agree to that, as if meat wasn’t the reason they want a gun… As if being able to shoot people if they feel threatened is the real reason and it just so happens that they’re able to hunt since they own a firearm anyway 🤷
