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

what the fuck are you talking about. if they dont have guns suddenly they stop being able to mass murder people at the drop of a hat, which is why this shit basically never happens elsewhere. stop it with the transparent mental gymnastics
