Re: Mass shootings and The Mentally Ill

[(Anonymous)]

The thing is, guns HAVE sometimes prevented burglaries or worse from happening. (For example, a few months ago a girl was home alone when someone broke into her home. She hid in the bathroom with a pistol and called 911, but the guy broke into the bathroom where she was, and she shot him. There's no telling what would've happened to her if she hadn't had something to protect her.) And the reason why people "froth at the mouth" is because of...well, language like that. These people feel that they have a right to protect themselves, and then they get rhetoric thrown at them that they're all a bunch of brainless hillbillies while being told that this right, which is important to them, is the cause of all the problems in society--well, how do you expect them to react?

"Gun lovers" aren't the source of all that's evil in America any more than the mentally ill are. (Or the LGBT community or straight people or Christians or Athiests or Democrats or Republicans or white people or POC whatever other group we like to point fingers at.) It's much more complex than that, and the sooner we realize that then maybe political discourse will improve and we can start maybe trying to understand the issues better than going on a mad search for some monster to hold up every time a tragedy happens.

Gun control=/=all guns banned, ohmergerd. There are certain guns that SHOULD be outright banned, but that doesn't mean every gun should.

Re: Mass shootings and The Mentally Ill

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't say that it was. In fact, I'm for banning assault rifles. My objection was to two parts of the comment I responded to:

1. "You will NEVER have to fight off zombie hordes or fend off your property from bandits." - This was what my first paragraph was about, showing that yes, sometimes people have to defend their property or themselves from people breaking into their homes. This IS a thing that happens. Guns HAVE saved lives in these cases.

2. The overall tone painting the opposing side as backwater idiots, for example "It's sad that we can't have a discussion about gun control without someone frothing at the mouth about how 'the govenmant tryin to take 'er gurns away'" This was my main objection, and in particular what I addressed in my second paragraph.

Maybe if you (assuming you were the initial anon I responded to) learned to both read the comment you're responding to and not jump to conclusion people wouldn't "froth at the mouth" when you discussed your political beliefs.
