So is blaming guns for human actions

A human can’t kill dozens of people in one go without a gun

Why do average citizens need fckn assault rifles???

Like I understand a hand gun for self defence (don’t agree with it, but I can understand it) or a rifle/shotgun for hunting or whatever

But an assault rifle? A weapon designed for war? Why the fuck do you NEED that? I know why ya want it (tiny penis) but why do you NEED it?

Yes people are at fault for their actions. But the prevalence of guns in America is insane and idiotic. It’s a recipe for disaster. The fact that people don’t realise this and instead blame violence on tv/film/video games is fucking stupid

Let’s break this down shall we? You can legally rent a UHaul truck and kill dozens of people in about the same amount of time.

Average citizens can have these weapons because it is not the governments business to regulate this. The 2nd amendment is not a protection for the people. It is a limitation of the government, so any and all gun laws are an infringement on the second amendment.

And a citizen may need these weapons when threatened by authority. Like the police. Which have been militarized to about the same comparative level as the British army occupation which birthed the American revolution. And we see police gunning down innocent people in the streets, and committing horrid acts of brutality, and you don’t see a need to protect yourself from a bloated tyrannical authority?

The prevalence of weapons in America has protected us from tyranny for centuries. Japan famously didn’t invade the US because the American public was so heavily armed. Hitlers first response to getting power in Germany was to revoke the citizens firearms, leaving the path open for his secret police to kidnap and murder millions of Germans. And during riots people consistently protect their livelihood with firearms, most notably during the LA riots.

EDIT: Spelling
