“We need more restrictive laws to address gun crime” -Some of you
“I wish a dirtbag criminal would break into my home” -also some of you
I know you can't hear us all the way down here in the gutter but we're laughing so hard that my homies can barely breathe.
I hope y'all didn't slip into this thinking I was about to take your side on this topic. You should know better by now. Y'all can have your right and left battlefield positions because I'm coming from the bottom to the top and sprayin’ everyone.
Before we get started, just to really make everyone mad, I don't know shit about guns. At least, not about the weapons themselves. I can't talk about makes or models or calibers or anything like that. I know how to use one handed to me. That's the long and short of it.
What I do know is how they're used in relation to all of the topics everyone keeps arguing about. Not because I read statistics or listened to some talking heads about the issue, but because I come from where everyone is doing exactly what all of you say we shouldn't be doing. Too bad you knuckleheads are too busy arguing over the wrong shit to realize you'd agree on that part.
Before I rant about us, let's talk about “them”. Quit citing other countries statistics to make some “but wut about?!” case, that has nothing to do with nothing, to support your crazy.
Most of you can't wrap your head around the regional and socio economic cultural differences within our own borders but you're going to act like you got a handle on the way they live and how its directly relational to the way we are.
“I'll have you know that in other developed countries …” shut up. Did you just equate an unarmed 1st world country to an issue in cities that are more directly relatable to armed 3rd world countries? You're either intentionally misdirecting or you're too dim to grasp what's happening on the other side of your own town. Either way, sit on your hands and don't interrupt because I ain't going to allow you to make the rest of the class as dumb as you're being.
Before digging deeper into that, let's get this out of the way right now. We have more guns than people. Almost 400 million. About double what our military has. Let that sink in. This country has always been armed to the teeth. You ain't getting around that. You're making comparisons to countries who always relied on a military to defend them to this country where people overthrew a military and took over. Our armed population came before the army and law enforcement.
That established, there is no scenario where disarming our population is an option. So give up that utopian wish. You're trying to cure lung cancer by literally removing the lungs. It ain't happening. This isn't Australia where a small, select minority were armed within an overall homogeneous culture. Whether you like it or not, it's easier to get a group to go along with something when they all look and act alike. You ain't getting that here.
“Look, he's on our side!” You shut up too. This wouldn't be a debate if gun nuts knew how to protect their stuff. You'll lock your tax returns up in a filing cabinet but the guns are out on display! Every gun we had in the Game was a stolen one. All of them. About 380,000 get snatched every year. Let's call it one every minute and a half. And those are only the ones that get reported.
Feel free to take a moment to appreciate the irony in that. The property you own partially to protect your property from being stolen itself getting ganked. Hell, I remember people getting hit over and over like thugs going to the gat-bank because y'all didn't even notice them missing.
“Not me!” Yeah, we know. None of you are guilty of the thing that realistically happens probably a half-million times a year. It's totally a conspiracy theory. It could never be you.
So where are we so far? We've established that we're a cartoonishly armed and irresponsible population who also cannot possibly be disarmed. That's neat.
Wait. Can you hear that? It's getting louder… “We need more stringent gun laws!” Oh no, it's a horde of goblibs and they're mimicking our language! Someone throw some Starbucks to distract them!
It is currently illegal for me to own a gun. In fact, there's never been a time in my 40+ years where I have been able to legally own a firearm. There's literally dozens of federal, state and even local laws that read; “dis dumb MF here, ‘cause of his felony wow-outs and history of actin' the fool, best not be touching a gun or we-da-government gonna mob his ass”. U.S. Code 371: subsection 20: paragraph 9.
That said, I can get my hands on a stolen one in about 20-30 minutes with a text message to another guy who's also forbidden by law to possess a firearm. Holy crap, how many laws do you suppose that breaks? Even the gun itself, with its serial number filed off, is already illegal! But maybe the next piece of legislation will be worded strongly enough to be the difference maker.
You can't legal your way out of this. You're trying to address drunk driving by outlawing cars. They're here, our society and culture are built are their existence, it is what it is. I know it's a cliche copy-and-paste point, but it's obvious that the cities with the strictest gun laws also have the most gun problems. You're going to throw your back out thinking, “if I just law her harder she'll quit laying there looking bored!”. It's a nerd solution for a thug problem.
Thug problem.
Everyone is focusing on the wrong part of the issue.
“Yeah! It's a mental health thing!”
Who let the conservaturd speak? Hey, kick rocks with that zoomed in cherry picked nonsense. Y'all are just as guilty of being selective of only the stuff that supports whatever deflection you're trying to pull off. Yes, school shooters normally have crazy in their history. They shot up a school dumbass, did you really need a psychiatrist to adjust his glasses and say they were unstable? Now do child rapists where you cite that almost all of them had pedophilic tendencies beforehand. Holy crap! You solved people!
We're talking about 20k-30k murders a year. Yes, school shootings are the worst, however they're also a tiny, itty-bitty fraction of the problem. Y'all just like arguing about high profile stuff. They're an outlier. Quit putting it on the news and making the shooters celebrities with wide reaching manifestos. There, I fixed it.
Let's talk about where the real majority of the killing takes place.
How about we give a shit about the black kids getting lit up too? Just to try something new. They are the majority of the gun deaths people pretend to care about after all. I have personally witnessed drive-bys, where whole corners got laid low, and it didn't even make the news.
I swear to God that every one of you callous mf's to say they deserved it are catching a block and getting your dumb ass comment deleted. You act like you want to solve a problem but you're too god-damned scared to go where it's actually happening. I ain't stutter, you're scared.
There's an entire section of our society who genuinely believes they're in a war. Hence the guns. Why actually doesn't matter, it all stems from being in neighborhoods and cities that have not only abandoned them but then pretends they're not even there. Look away, pretend they ain't there. Then we'll all get righteous when they act exactly in line with the way we treat them.
“Buffy darling, can you believe that the animals are acting like animals?” *Uppity scoff
“Yeah, but we can't do anything there because they'll just ruin it”.
But then they keep ruining things because there's nothing there. It won't end because no one is doing anything. If it were easy, it wouldn't be a problem. Y'all have no issue using their body count to raise up your statistics for gun deaths. The rest of you are fine using their actions as an excuse to push for laws that won't do anything. Everyone likes to punish, no one seems to care about prevention.
If you don't care about this, then you actually don't give a shit about the gun problem topic. You don't care about people, you care about you. That's fine, just quit being fake about it because you're as transparent as a fish eyelid.
Everyone likes arguing about the gun thing, especially since it's unsolvable. You don't actually have to do anything. You don't have to invest, take risks, get involved and, especially important, give a shit. That's your favorite one. Talking about problems while doing nothing.
I'm not educated enough to know what the solution is, however I'm experienced enough to point to the real problem. The unbullshitified issue everyone acts like they don't know about. I'm just here to hopefully make people pay attention for once.
Until you address the reason men want to kill each other with guns, nothing else matters. The guns are here to stay so your only option is to try and fix the need to use them. That's assuming you have time between all of your gotcha posts where you put on a show and then go back to being too good to be bothered.
If you're not completely full of shit, this'll benefit both sides. Gun grabbers who pretend it's about saving lives, this effort would save the majority of the victims. Gun lovers who constantly fret about the 2nd amendment, this effort would knee cap those pushing for restrictions.
But that's not your flavor, is it? Nah, y'all just like to fight over the symptoms. You'd rather dunk on Chicagos weekend body count or post a dead kids graduation picture after he got himself killed for being an idiot. Nothing is going to change because the people bitching about it aren't going to change. Just know that every time you drop yet another cliche pro/anti gun post, there's people like me who see how pointless you are.
Bet you didn't see me going there. That's why it's click bait.
The subsidization of single motherhood (which began with LBJ’s Great Society) is the single biggest factor for there being single mothers. The psychology is a little strange, and difficult to understand, but that’s it. And it happens in far greater numbers in black communities than anywhere else. “When you subsidize something, you get more of it”. A general rule about government involvement and economics.
Children need both parents, not just one. They need a dad, for boys so they can learn how to be a man. And for girls, so they what to look for in a man. When either child grows up without a dad, the cycle repeats itself. This is not difficult to understand.
Also, since 1973, about 30% of all abortions have been black babies. So yes, thanks to Planned Parenthood, abortion does tie into this.
Also, regularly increasing the minimum wage. Raising taxes and regulations on businesses. These are factors that hurt poor people the worst. Which political party supports most or all of what I just mentioned? If you are willing to admit that, maybe you can admit how to solve these problems.
Also, I’m not voting in any national (federal) election this year. So I really don’t care what argument you put forth in favor of your favorite left wing policy. Go ahead and pass more useless laws. I won’t try and stop you.
I thought I'd be mad too but instead I laughed. There is something you forget to mention, a gun is the greatest equaliser to a woman against a dangerous man especially if she knows how to handle it. 😋
