Some people thought that the president accidentally made a great campaign ad for the Democrats.

      Realistically they will support it until it gets passed into law and then starts affecting them, and then either refuse to follow it or cry about how they didnt think theyd lose their guns

    Of course gun control is necessary! I’m a big supporter of gun control: finger off the trigger, out of the trigger guard, along the frame (not the slide!) above the trigger guard, until a decision has been made to fire, which involves careful (yet quick) consideration of everything between you and the target, and what is behind and around the target, in accordance with responsible gun owners’ first law of gun safety: do not fire at anything you do not intend to destroy (or pay for).

    Seriously, though: gun safety is the best gun control there is. Everyone should learn it. 3D print guns with no moving parts whatsoever and make them white or some other colour that a real gun never would be (I have seen pink guns and guns of other colours, but IIRC I never saw a white one… don’t doubt they exist, but you know what I mean) and let people practice just handling them properly.

      citation fucking required. this isn’t the kind of thing where a person’s personal opinion means shit. we don’t have seatbelts because some guy just decided it was safer.

        In this case, learning to drive would be the comparison, not seatbelts.

        I have to agree that learning to drive is one of the most important steps when it comes to automobile safety. But then we added seatbelts because just learning to drive isn’t enough.
