That's the problem with the republican solution of safety achieved through everyone having a gun. It's just too weak of a solution. Everyone needs to carry at least two guns!

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

what if the second gun also gets stolen, should we also carry a knife to protect against double gun theives?

What are you, a liberal or something? That's what the third gun is for.

Don't be silly. If one should get double tapped, you have a progressively smaller gun. For emergencies

Let's take inspiration from the glory days of piracy and Boondock Saints. Strap guns across every square inch of your body you can, and then line the trenchcoat.

And those guns end up whispering to the sickest among us about how fun they’d be if they took them to a school.

I can’t believe this is still happening.

You new here? I kinda like that you still have enough optimism to feel a sense of shock. I'm pretty jaded - this country's love affair with guns runs so deep, I can't even imagine meaningful change. Even the democratic presidential candidate and her running mate are gun slingers despite being pro regulation. Some small changes would be welcome, don't get me wrong, but I don't see us getting anywhere near what more civilized countries have achieved within the next few decades at least.
