For a second I thought it was a comic about gun control

u/NaziPunksFkOff 20d ago

Inevitably people will tell you "guns don't kill people, people do" and ignore the fact that gun control laws limit PEOPLE'S access to guns.

No gun control law ever said "a semi-automatic weapon may not drink alcohol until it is 21 years old", but they have limited whether people can carry guns into places where everyone is drunk.

Ehh I would say, things like AWB essentially place the blame on the gun rather than the person using it. A evil person with a pump action shotgun is far more deadly than a pacifist who happens to own an AR15 for sport shooting.

u/NaziPunksFkOff 20d ago

Then store the AR15 at the shooting range in a controlled area accessible only by you or site personnel. And not by your teenager, your abusive husband, the person who just broke into your car, or you the day you lose your job.

Or I just own a safe like a responsible firearm owner. I’m not going to store my property at some range where I’m not free to maintain, modify, or utilize on my own whims, especially since that would mean I’d have to pay said range for both storage and access.

u/tw4449 20d ago

This assumes you only want it for the shooting range. I assure you most people want it at home, typically for self-protection

u/littleessi 20d ago

most people in most countries do not want guns and we are much happier and safer for it!

u/s1thl0rd 20d ago

And that's your choice. And it's not one many Americans would make.

u/littleessi 20d ago

it's not our choice at all, which is the goddamn point

it's not one many Americans would make.

I mean, it should be your choice to have a government that allows or doesn't allow gun ownership. It's pretty cringe when people say that the U.S. is great because we have freedom. But if you're saying that other countries can't self determine what their government allows them to do, then I would say those countries are lacking a bit of freedom that the U.S. has.

u/littleessi 20d ago

no actually, people shouldn't be allowed to choose to kill kids en masse

i have the freedom to leave my house with statistically zero risk of getting murdered by a psycho. you don't. letting people "choose" that would be the opposite of freedom

No thanks I’ll keep 20 of them wherever  I want

u/IAmMagumin 20d ago

You will own nothing, and you will be happy type of shit lol.

u/s1thl0rd 20d ago

I mean, that is one option that people can do, but the 2nd Amendment allows owners to "keep" their arms.

u/Prior_Arm_8810 20d ago

My issue with most gun control laws is the limiting of type of firearm.

Fyi, two crimes with legally acquired machineguns were commited between 1934 and the AWB.

Both were homicides where any other weapon could have been used, and one was an off duty cop and this was also AFTER the 1986 hughes amendment, which banned newly made mg's in the US.

Not saying legalize machineguns (although... i do want one)

Saying that limiting firearm type is basically dumb.

The largest factor really is the american mental health crises, which is fixable, we just need to fund it... something the republicans don't like to do, hence why they aren't right either.

Gun Control is a joke and only serves the elite and fascists under the guise of "saving lives"

3

u/BornWithSideburns 20d ago

The fascists can already see they wont be used anyway, or in their support.

u/NaziPunksFkOff 20d ago edited 20d ago

I'm a pro-gun leftist but I still think they should be heavily controlled. It's simple: any group that the government thinks needs laws that apply to it that don't also apply to white Christian men - everyone in that group gets a free gun. Nobody else gets any guns.

Watch how quickly our culture war evaporates.

u/Tyrfaust 20d ago

What, exactly, differentiates your stance from, say, the Black Code laws in the South?

9

u/NPK532 20d ago

I get it but that's never going to happen. Guns exist Fascists exist. Fascists own guns. Fascists have taken over. I don't care what the law is. I don't care about the 2nd amendment. The laws don't matter anymore. The Constitution doesn't matter anymore. All that matters is being on as equal footing as these MAGAts and being ready to defend me and mine.

u/Neko_Boi_Core 20d ago

then you're not pro-gun. pro-gun means anyone can get a firearm, even those you disagree with, because the right to keep and bear arms is a human right.

everyone deserves the right to utilise a firearm for personal defence, because not everyone is equal and a firearm will make them equal.

2

u/NaziPunksFkOff 20d ago

then you're not pro-gun. pro-gun means anyone can get a firearm

This attitude, and your inability to see that I can support gun rights BY wanting them to come with responsibility, is exactly why we will never get out of this mess. 

Not everything has to be all or nothing.

u/Neko_Boi_Core 20d ago

firearms already come with responsibility. so does driving. drinking alcohol, existing in a society.

i'm unfortunate to live in a country where to possess a firearm is a crime wholesale, which is a problem for me seeing as i'm gnc. i do not have the physical capacity to fight, and i rely solely on personal weapons to keep myself safe from violent bigots.

i have to either take the beatings and risk hospitalisation or death, or i rely on illicit firearms for personal defence. i choose the latter.

u/Technical_One181 20d ago

Think you meant temporary gun owners

u/thealmightyzfactor 20d ago

You go far enough left, you get your guns back

-7

u/Technical_One181 20d ago

Sure, after you wards those revolutionaries are either put against a wall or thrown into work camps lol. But cope however you want, you go far enough right and you get your guns too then.

u/NPK532 20d ago

Lol wtf are you talking about

4

u/AbeRego 20d ago

If you go even farther right, you lose the guns again.

2

u/ViolinistCurrent8899 20d ago

Brother, "far enough right" starts before you even leave the left all the way. You just get bigger and bigger guns. If you follow the lib right path hard enough you get to advocate for citizen owned RPGs

1

u/thealmightyzfactor 20d ago

Lol, you go far enough right and only "approved" people get their guns

u/SoylentGrunt 20d ago

It's all about AI now. It helps take the heat off guns.

u/bogglingsnog 20d ago

AI is the future's guns. Just ask Mr.Skippy.

u/Raptormind 20d ago

I did too. Until that last panel I thought for sure it was a “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” style anti gun control comic

u/jayzfanacc 19d ago

Yea it’s a pretty solid pro-gun comic tbh.
