>>43319448You know what always gets me about this fearmongering, reactionary bullshit? That they never apply the same response to anything else, and will even plainly call others retarded fascists for applying THE SAME FUCKING LOGIC to anything else, even when it's more at its place.
Let's jump straight to the hotbutton issue: Immigration. Tons of problems with it in Europe, more than a few deaths, countless robberies, assaults, and rapes. Suggest maybe, just MAYBE not pursuing a policy of mass-immigration anymore, and oh boy. You shouldn't let the majority suffer because of the minority, you're a literal fascist, it's not the fault of the criminal immigrants but of society.
All arguments that suddenly don't count when it comes to gun owners.
For fuck's sake, we even had our government ready to step down on gun owners after we had our own, little mass shooting. But what did the politicians refuse to tell people? That the parents of the gunmen had gone to the fucking cops, and had told them that their son shouldn't have access to firearms.
They were ignored. And it was neither the first nor the last time the police failed spectacularly in this fashion. At least last time it got an ex-politician killed, so there was no collateral damage.
But the minister that should bloody well have resigned his fucking commission started shouting we'd totally solve gun crime by stepping down even more on gun owners. You know, that group of people in our country who never fucking ever kill people.
Oh, and that mass shooting? Caused less deaths than an attack on the queen in which the perpetrator used a fucking car. A CAR. Has anyone called for banning cars since then? Or even increase car control?
Of course fucking not. It wasn't even an issue. The entire thing blew over, despite high-res pictures of the fuckstick running down children sitting on the front page of every major newspaper.
Long story short, fearmongers are selectively outraged idiots.
