I know so many people who think they are helping by critiquing like this when they are not. And also expect a “thank you” for their destructive distraction. If there were a hell I hope they are the first to burn or freeze in it.
In this case I do think it’s a good response. Both sides have a boogeyman, but it’s time for The Final Nightmare. This time, Freddie’s dead. Or wait, maybe we want to avoid little Freddie being dead. My point is, many are intentionally talking at cross purposes, using loaded terms to invoke rage at their target rather than actually discuss what’s in their crosshairs. Someone needs to smack their hands with a ruler until they grow up.
While we do need a better way to limit the violence people commit with firearms, I have no better idea how but I know it starts with actually talking, using the same vocabulary, facing the same reality, finding goals we can agree on.
I mean if we want to restrict anything an adult, teenager, or even older child could use to effectively kill four year olds, that’s a long list.
Targeting the most popular rifles in the country is a poor choice policy-wise though. It does very little to reduce homicide in general, and only maybe somewhat reduce casualties from a category of violence that’s claimed about 1400 people since the sixties.
Bruh. The age of shooting victims is what you’re getting picky about here?
Also, your comment about seeing the effects of a machine gun vs a semi-auto somehow making you more pedantic is bullshit. I’ve seen both, and am still capable of carrying on a reasonable discussion about firearms with people that don’t know much about them without getting hung up on ultimately irrelevant details.
Pull your head out of your ass and maybe you’ll actually be able to see the forrest for the trees.

If you’ve ever seen the difference a machine gun and a semi auto does to a body you’d be picky about it too
If you saw how dead the 4 year old is either way, you wouldn’t be.

So you agree that they all should be confiscated?
Oh yeah because all those smoking bans sure failed to clamp down on one of America’s most popular drugs.
There a lot of 4 year olds getting killed in school shootings?
No you are right. Toddlers shoot their family instead
It is good to see young people taking climate action into their own hands

I’m busting the balls of screeching, impotent fools that want to disarm the population.
Big scary gun make big scared guy feel safe?
Bootlickers demand their own rights be taken away instead of bettering society?
That question implies that any number besides zero is anything besides “infinitely too many.”
