Gun grabbers are not impressive people

Has CNN ever had a "firearms expert" on that actually was a firearms expert? I genuinely can't recall ever seeing anyone talk about firearms on CNN that wasn't clueless...

"One of those firearms, we are told, was equipped with a laser sight device. This has significance, because number one, that's a fairly sophisticated device for a handgun where when you aim it, a red dot goes where you want to target, and if you fire at that point, the bullet goes where the dot is. It's the kind of things used mostly by professionals, tactical people, military people. ...and it indicates that this was no random shooting"

This is the psychology of a person addicted to compliance.

You are proposing to turn ordinary ownership into a capital crime and you call yourself “no kings” while writing like a petty sovereign drafting edicts for a frightened court.

You incentivize concealment, black markets, selective enforcement, informant culture, and a permanent escalation loop between state violence and private distrust.

A society built on threats of annihilation for possession does not become peaceful, it becomes brittle, paranoid, and armed in the only way you’ll still permit, through the agents who answer to you.

You are not solving violence, you are formalizing it, then outsourcing it to a badge and telling yourself it counts as virtue.

You are an absolutely pathetic human being.

How about a trial program. We can disarm politicians first, get rid of their body guards, security check points, bullet proof vehicles, etc. and see how that goes before we start disarming private citizens.

I'm probably alone on this but when I saw that tweet I thought it was came from Morgan Freeman the actor.

I’m a gun owner, a combat veteran, and the husband of a gun violence survivor — I know how important gun laws are for keeping Americans safe.

That’s why I’m pushing legislation to close the Charleston loophole: if you haven’t passed a background check, you shouldn’t get a gun just because the clock ran out. This protects responsible gun owners while keeping guns out of the hands of felons and domestic abusers.

I’m a black woman who pretends to be a catgirl on the internet. I enjoy sci-fi novels and I fix cars for enjoyment.

None of that tells you a damn thing about the usefulness of MY stance of gun control.

Just like you being a gun owner, a veteran, or married to a crime victim tells nobody anything about whether a proposed law is constitutional, effective, or even coherent.

Personal biography is not policy analysis. It’s just vibes in a dress uniform. In your case, I'll bet the medals are on backwards.

Gun control is a nice idea. So is banning drugs. So is banning murder. The problem isn’t intention, it’s reality. Laws don’t operate in a vacuum where only good people follow them and bad people politely comply. They operate in the real world, where criminals route around restrictions the way water routes around rocks.

Felons and domestic abusers are already prohibited from owning firearms. The "Charleston loophole" rhetoric pretends this isn’t true, as if violent criminals are currently wandering into gun stores, twirling mustaches, and lawfully purchasing rifles because a stopwatch hit zero. That isn’t how crime works, and it isn’t how criminals acquire guns. (HINT: They steal them, generally)

What these laws ACTUALLY do is expand discretionary denial and delay for people who are already legal, already vetted, and already compliant. They turn a right into a permission slip that expires if the government is slow, incompetent, or simply hostile. If the state can block a right by failing to act, that right no longer exists. It’s a favor.

You can believe gun control should work. (Many people do.) The thing is, belief isn’t evidence. Your credentials aren’t arguments. If the policy fails in practice, pointing at your life story doesn’t make it succeed.
