    That’s the problem with the republican solution of safety achieved through everyone having a gun. It’s just too weak of a solution. Everyone needs to carry at least two guns!

      what if the second gun also gets stolen, should we also carry a knife to protect against double gun theives?

        Don’t be silly. If one should get double tapped, you have a progressively smaller gun. For emergencies

          Let’s take inspiration from the glory days of piracy and Boondock Saints. Strap guns across every square inch of your body you can, and then line the trenchcoat.

      And those guns end up whispering to the sickest among us about how fun they’d be if they took them to a school.

      I can’t believe this is still happening.

        You new here? I kinda like that you still have enough optimism to feel a sense of shock. I’m pretty jaded - this country’s love affair with guns runs so deep, I can’t even imagine meaningful change. Even the democratic presidential candidate and her running mate are gun slingers despite being pro regulation. Some small changes would be welcome, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t see us getting anywhere near what more civilized countries have achieved within the next few decades at least.

    My guns are not a dick extender.

    I need them because I live around psychotic hairless apes who will fabricate any reason on a whim to burn me at the stake because I like dick, psychedelics and employee owned and operated businesses.

    Yall call this civilization? I call this the (concrete) jungle with extra steps.

    If guns were banned then knives probably would become more common. Its bad enough school’s are used as shooting ranges and yeah having a gun doesn’t always mean you’re safe. It just makes you the bigger target for the gunner.

      Yes. If guns were banned, then people would resort to preparing their meals with some other weapon like a knife.

      That would be a good thing though, wouldn’t it? (I’m not a knife merchant I swear.)

        I am not a knife merchant either, but do think people carrying knives is a good thing. Not asking everyone to carry a Bowie knife (the average person doesn’t need one that big normally), a pen knife is good enough.

      I’ve carried a knife daily for 30+ years; more people should carry knives so they stop asking to borrow mine when they need one.

        I would like to carry two knifes, one for me and a shitty one for the people who ask for a knife.
