This just sounds like high school emo stuff. We don't have an authoritarian government.

What would you call a government that kills people just for having guns?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_John_Crawford_III
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Tamir_Rice
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Philando_Castile

Or selling loose cigarettes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Eric_Garner

What would you call a government that subjects people to solitary unless they recant accusations of sexual assault?
https://splinternews.com/ice-allegedly-puts-woman-in-solitary-confinement-to-get-1822993354

That burns people to death in showers without consequence?
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/no-charges-in-death-of-man-who-resembled-boiled-lobster-after-forced-prison-shower_us_58d19b5de4b0f838c62d7f45

It's authoritarian for plenty of people. Just not you.


Yes, every single one of those incidents was 100% lawful by the government. This is the official policy.
These events happen thousands of times a day by the authoritarian government.

Why does everyone hate each other? I think you're all ok people. Possibly overly dependent on your parents and overweight, but still acceptable people.

I bet you think you're a hero with this back handed compliment.


I just want to let you know that I care about you and want you to work hard.

Tell him there are plenty of anti-abortion (also pro-women anti-abortion) rallies every day. Abortions aren't keeping people armed (and therefore scary to the government), though.

I liked when the gov made it a law that you can't murder people. I liked the law against rape too. I liked when they took my money to coercively crowd fund science research. I like traffic laws too. Makes me get places more easily and with less risk. I like when they tell schools they have to put salt on their sidewalks. I like that health regulations are a thing. This one little section in my local mall's food court always got shut down because of cockroaches or something. I would rather they get shut down than accidentally eating cockroach parts. I wonder when right wingers are going to learn that taking rights away is a good way to gain new ones. Lol.

it would significantly lower the number of kids deaths from shooting

if without gun control 100 kids die a day but with gun control only 5 kids die a day its still preventing 95 deaths a day

When it comes to knowing how to love, being fearless, and thinking for yourself, right wingers sure are terrible at it. Man up. It would be more interesting if the two major parties were divided on the issues, but the democratic party is literally 99% more correct (not necessarily correct (or even close to correct on s0me issues though) on issues than the republican party.

-They tell women what to do with their bodies
-They deny science
-Gerrymandering
-Decrease taxes on the one class that can afford to pay for more than their share
-Thinks free market means no regulations so rich people increasingly suck people dry
-Religion. HEH.
-Defunding education.
-Appointing cabinet members that are the antitheses of who should lead the cabinet
-Can't accept obvious fact of white privilege, continues to complain to stop populace from moving onto issues more difficult than 2+2.
-Gun culture, promotion of fear, "gov will automatically take over (or something like that) if our guns are taken away"

Jesus ****ing Christ they're literally wrong about everything. It couldn't be any easier to see the truth, and yet it isn't easy enough.

(This is all generally speaking of course)

Imagine if the policies that were put in place to avoid uncomfortable truths were never implemented in that county, resulting in the arrest and subsequent banning from owning a firearm of the Florida kid.

It's an agenda. Remember they made some kids famous because they spoke well?

The shooter will be the most famous liberal activist of all time.

I just don't understand why I should put any stock into the opinions of a bunch of almost people who have never worked, cant vote, can't drive, and think prom is the most important thing in life.

Id be the first to say people should not have taken my high school opinions seriously and I certainly shouldn't have been on the news.

Just seems silly not to let them walk out, give em detention and move on.

CNN chose these kids. they didn't care when i was a kid. that's the only difference. these kids are not special. they just got picked by anti gun people. they have been empowered by being chosen. if they weren't chosen, nothing would be happening. it's all because of adults giving the kids power that they wouldn't otherwise have
