I haven’t been a high schooler for a long time, so.

“I don’t think you should have that. Get rid of it!”

Not everybody lives three minutes from an ambulance station. The rest of us learn to look after ourselves and each other, because we can’t depend on government or private industry to save us.

You should be capable of acting as your own EMS. Having medical skills instead of being forced to rely on other people is a Good Idea.

Learning CPR as well as other basic first aid and bleeding control is a more productive use of your time than marching against civil rights.

Counterpoint: Don’t encourage your kids to march to take away their own civil rights.

A black man is telling you why gun ownership is important and you are completely, utterly, unwilling to consider his point for even a moment. Such is your psychotic ignorance and hatred of guns.

because of things he did as a consequence of his mental health problems which you saw for him having?

“Poor nonviolent drug offender”. Fucking ridiculous.

He probably should have thought of that before choosing to become a drug smuggler.

Five months of living expenses, out of pocket, before they even start talking about maybe paying you. Oh, and that’s in NYC, lol.

I think it’s disingenuous to whine about “you blame everything but the guns!” when you are so clearly uninterested in any ideas, proposals, or plans that don’t involve depriving your fellow Americans of an essential, constitutionally protected civil right.

How many people in the US had their faces melted off with acid, though?

I’ll take one “5,000,000 cartridges”, please.

Triggered by a sticker on a car? See a fucking therapist.

In the 1920s you could buy a Thompson submachine gun out of a catalog.

Lying with cherry-picked statistics. Murder and violent crime PLUMMETED in that same time span.

I’m glad you live somewhere that is so safe, with police so lightning fast and hypercompetant and definitely not racist and self interested, that you can afford to not take responsibility for your own safety. When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

Completely ignoring the huge number of veterans working in the gun industry and advocating for gun rights.
