Simple wisdom...
The billionaires want them to have guns to spread as much fear as they can. Scared people then lean toward authoritarianism as a solution, giving up their rights to the will of the oligarchs.
@hensley @georgetakei Because we do that all the damn time with things that are dangerous. We license drivers, and require special training for drivers of large or complicated vehicles. We don't allow civilians to have Howitzers. We restrict the purchase of bomb-making materials.
No one needs the ability to kill dozens of people in seconds unless they're a soldier in an active war zone. And frankly, anyone who thinks they do need that is pretty clearly someone who shouldn't have it.
Funny how on the other platforms she doesn't talk like this. Jojo far left
@georgetakei you have to look one level up George. It's the "who the fuck" people that are the real problem.
Crazy people are just crazy people. But when you think it's a good idea to enable them by handing out guns like candy you become the problem.

Guns don't kill people, gun manufacturers kill people.
Disabled elder here. The troubles that come from gun culture are *far* outweighed by the benefits. Guns make us equal. Without guns, the old, the weak, the small and the disabled are at the mercy of the the young, the strong, the big and the able-bodied.
These are the deranged, mouth foaming maniacs who intend to kill us in #CivilWar2. They're why I will *never* disarm.
