and this, among other reasons, is why we resist any and all gun control measures, because a little bit of gun control is never enough for some people. Their goal is complete disarmament and, if they can’t get everything they want all at once, they intend to get it one step at a time. they don’t even hide this fact so there’s really nothing to argue about.
Liberals exploit the young and naive for their own purposes.
It gives them plausible deniability.
They lose naivety when life beats them up and robs their ass, or kills someone they know, and they are there crapping their pants wishing and praying that they had a gun to fight back with.
I love the interview in the early 90s with Heston, where he discussed the LA riots, and his liberal friends were asking him to borrow a gun or two from him, and he says, just go down to the gun store, and buy one, and go through the waiting period, then you’ll have one, and they say yeah, but the waiting period, we need it now, and Heston says well you voted for that - and din’t loan them any guns. It would have been hell for Heston if these people who didn’t know squat about guns shot someone accidentally and they find out it isn’t theirs but Hestons’ guns. Lawsuit city.
