In theory, sure. In actuality, Republicans tend to get very angry when women use guns to protect themselves against men, and when people of color use guns to protect themselves against white people. Guns, like the police, the courts and the entire government, are supposed to be weapons for the powerful to use against…

Well, in their defense, women aren’t people and therefore we don’t have a right to life. Fetuses only have a “right to life” because they might turn out male.

Well at least you can claim your state has a longer waiting period for a legal medical procedure* than the purchase of a weapon. Yay?

He killed her because she wouldn’t have sex with him. That’s male entitlement, genius. He felt ENTITLED to her body. Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

6 months ago our dumpster fire of a governor signed a bill into law that eliminated the waiting period to purchase firearms. And now a guy with a history of mental illness goes out, buys a gun, and murders someone within 24 hours. Two of my students were working at Metro Market when it happened. They’re both…

I feel like an asshole when I say this, but shouldn’t pro gun people not want those who have a past of wanting to kill themselves to have access to guns?It just destroys their message even if they only take their own life, let alone someone else.

Yeah this is a three-part disaster: socially conditioned male entitlement, no real system for adequately treating our mentally ill citizens, and far too lax gun laws.

Not only is it believable, Republicans think this is normal. This is the way things were supposed to happen. His right to have a gun to kill her with is more important than her right to life.
