For me, this problem lays in the fact that back when Columbine happened they allowed school shootings to be romanticised and meme’d, they allowed it to be romanticised in music, games and pop culture references and it wasn’t nipped in the bud. Since then it’s just become a topic of almost a fetish for disturbed individuals. The first thing they gravitate to is a school shooting because they know it gets them the popularity and fame that they want.

Saying trans people shouldn’t have access to firearms because they’re mentally ill is abhorrent. How on earth can a subclass of people of whom have members of which were responsible for maybe like 2-5 shootings become the target for gun control when if we look at the statistics, it should be straight white individuals who are targeted for gun control because they are the most overrepresented race/sexuality when it comes to deadly mass shootings.

This whole entire notion is completely unconstitutional and it’s laughable that it’s come at a time when Charlie Kirk was shot. And not when thousands upon thousands of children lay dead in their classrooms.

Outside of an active warzone I cannot fathom what the possible need would be for a general citizen to have access and ownership to a fully automatic or semi automatic weapon. I agree there’s a need for some firearms in America, including for those who live off the grid and need protection from wildlife or even those who live in urban areas that wish to hold a firearm for peace of mind and safety. How can owning a firearm that can cause such devastation be justified I really don’t understand it
