I Do Not Support Gun Control

I'll go even further: I support the right of the individual to own anything the military itself can procure.

Meanwhile, one of my biggest problems with #GunControl is that no one actually does support it. That there's this ironic truth when people say they don't support gun control, because the truth of their position is they are perfectly fine with unfettered access to guns-when it suits them. Such as government employees, despite the fact they are the most prone to murderous rampages ([i]indeed, more people have been killed by cops in 3 years than mass shooters in other 4 decades[/i]). In reality, it's more aptly called [i]Citizen Control[/i] since the intention of any #GunControl measure ultimately translates to being about controlling what non-lawbreaking citizens are able to do.

My second biggest problem with #GunControl, which goes hand-n-hand with the previous issue, admittedly, is that those who support it clearly are not interested in a gun-free world. If they actually were interested in a #GunFreeWorldZone, they would get together to form their own culture and they would wear symbols and colors (ex. white) denoting the fact you support gun control. That way they would be able to send a message to any would-be gun owner how much you value their armament of choice.

So you think it's ok to turn just any old lunatic loose with Army weapons?

@Mondayschild I think it's not okay to judge anyone guilty until proven innocent. How about that? Or how about the fact that the system that you want to control who has a gun is the bigger nutcase? Hmm?
@Cydramech Your hour is up ho back to your cell now.

@Mondayschild Come back to me when you've a retort to make.
@Cydramech I just want to hear you say that these people killing kids in school and movie theaters should be allowed to just walk in to any gun store and buy a military weapon?

You made a very broad observation about guns here at a time when our country is suffering. I would like to know why you think any of this makes sense?

@Mondayschild I want to know why the hell you're being permissive about the bigger problem. More people have been killed by cops in 3 years than all mass shooters in 4 entire decades put-together, yet here you are worrying about one shooting.
@Cydramech I only used that as an example. The map today was covered in mass shootings by insane people that should not have a gun. It's all about mass murder really but that can be done with a sack full of farming supplies. The second amendment is being badly abused by people that think like you.

@Mondayschild Yeah, I already got that you're a hypocrite. I gathered as much by your very first post. That you want to ignore the fact those you believe should have access to guns and those you want to trust my protection to have killed more people than any private shooting ever has is the problem.
