It's not amoral. It's 100% immoral. If they were indeed amoral, just by the laws of chance they'd have to get it right once in a while. But they don't, because they are horrible, wicked, immoral šŸ’©.

@georgetakei The NRA-led gun lobby promotes an immoral environment in which gun manufacturers get richer, unstable individuals can purchase military style assault weapons without a background check, waiting period, or training, whilst innocent peopleā€”most appalling Americaā€™s young school-aged childrenā€”die by gun shots. Itā€™s criminal.

@georgetakei I'm a responsible gun owner and veteran that never dreams of owning an F-16, tank, rocket launcher or a military assault style weapon such as the AR-15.... Hunting deer with any of these weapons is overkill and unnecessary...I will NEVER support a politician that receives $$ from the #nra

The USA was build on guns.

The USA killed the native population so they could steal the land.

The so called "Indians".

- In short, you cant take guns from the american people. Then they will revolt just like this man is covertly threatening with.

"devalue lives" does not make any sense in USA's historical context.

There have never been much value to human lives in the entire USA's history i'am afraid.

@georgetakei there are 100s of millions of guns in circulation and they arenā€™t going anywhere, and the 2A is here to stay. What to do? Iā€™d say: 1) raise the purchase age for all guns to 21 (like alcohol & cigarettes), 2) enhance background checks, 3) increase waiting periods, 4) restrict the type of weapons available for purchase (similar to the previous assault weapons ban). Sadly, 4 seems like a long shot. Perhaps 1-3 could eventually gain bipartisan support.

@snakeoiler @georgetakei Would like to see #1 but that won't survive the courts. Would like to see #2 as well but that would require a true instant background check system that's usable by the public.

Would very much like to see people convicted of violence to animals or domestic violence being prohibited persons for ownership.

@georgetakei Fully agree. Sadly their opposition is in the same business. It's not about rights or safety, it's about selling fear for money and political power. There are steps we could take to reduce the number of people hurt or killed with firearms. But that's hard. Much easier to push for "thoughts and prayers" legislation.

The depths of Republican's egosyntonicism has yet to be observed in totality. When ones measure for good and evil is centered on oneself as the binding point the results is a devaluation of everything that doesn't directly benefit oneself.
