      Vote for increasingly tight background checks, micro stamping, and other solutions that don’t rely on the delusional and childish belief that only the batshit crazy police should have guns? What are you doing about it? I’m gonna take a shot in the dark here and guess voting for the public policy version of a miracle cure. How responsible.

        Cool, sounds good.

        childish belief that only the batshit crazy police should have guns

        Your guns have done absolutely nothing to bring police reform. Can you name even a single person in the last 20 years who has shot their way out of a confrontation with “batshit crazy police”?

        It’s a marketing strategy to sell guns to people who don’t trust the police, not an actual solution to the problem. In fact, pull that gun on a cop that wants to kill you and they’ll be thrilled that your murder won’t even be investigated.

        What are you doing about it? I’m gonna take a shot in the dark here and guess voting for the public policy version of a miracle cure.

        No miracles needed, just policy that has worked the world over and enough time for it to become effective.

        It’s funny though, despite you being such an ally of gun control, I’ve never seen you among the pro-gun crowd accusing their solution of being “delusional” or a “miracle cure” when they’ve claimed “we just need to elimate poverty and permanently and completely cure every man, woman and child of mental illnesses, even the ones that don’t want treatment, so its safe to sell them guns”.

        Oh well, I’m sure you’ll get your chance after the next mass shooting.
