I don’t think people who don’t live in the US appreciate the concept of Pandora’s box.
I hear a lot of people talk about how bad guns are. How Americans are crazy to own them. How guns need to be made illegal here.
There are literally more guns than people in the United States of America. They aren’t going away.
If we could Thanos snap half the guns away, it would solve nothing. If we could Thanos snap all of them, then hey! Yes! Let’s talk.
But we can’t do that. Guns are just part of life over here. We actually do appreciate how dangerous they are, because we see violence done with them all the time… But there’s no easy solution here. Criminals all have guns. Even kids in gangs have guns.
If you live in an area that has a lot of crime, you may want a gun, and that is okay so long as you’re trained and responsible.
I’m wondering if we just have a gun registration program and a ban on inheriting guns, so nobody would have to give up their own guns, just their dead parents’ guns.

So what you’re really arguing for is mass gun confiscation. I will subscribe to that newsletter gladly.
Yeah I think the US has way too many people who’d never willingly give their guns to the government. Particularly in Texas after Waco.
