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!

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.

And the body count just keeps rising…

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

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

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

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.

I don't think he knows about second gun, Pip

My guns are not a dick extender.

I need them because I live around psychotic hairless apes who will fabricate any reason on a whim to burn me at the stake because I like dick, psychedelics and employee owned and operated businesses.

Yall call this civilization? I call this the (concrete) jungle with extra steps.

I am so glad he did not pull the trigger. What an ending to that video.

Has this guy never watched a movie? You always say "and the other one".
