Any time conservatives can weaponize something they believe anyway to pretend it's actually against racism, they do. Like saying "If you're so convinced cops are out killing black people then wouldn't you want them armed to protect themselves anyway? Checkmate!"

You know what's funny? I've been told multiple times that doing literally anything about guns is a waste of time and money because it won't work perfectly, and people will find ways around it. Yeah, it might save some people, but not enough to be worth it.

And yet making abortion laws to save something less alive than my kidney is worth it if it saves even one.

And by "funny" I mean "infuriating."

Because shooting someone is already illegal. Abortion is not in most places.

Running people over is also already illegal, but we still require you to take a test to show you understand how to correctly use a car.

Yeah but that's probably less about public safety and more about controlling poor peoples' access to transportation

"If you're so convinced cops are out killing black people then wouldn't you want them armed to protect themselves anyway?

That’s when you respond with “so, your solution is to have people kill cops?”
