I don't believe in American exceptionalism, except in the case of guns.
Guns and America, we a got a thing going on like nobody else in the world. I hear people say “Well, they had a mass shooting in Australia and then they tightened the gun laws and, look, no more mass shootings. Yay!”
Apples and oranges, my friend.
Guns, whether we like to admit it or not, are intimately tied up with our identity, as Americans. Guns and America are practically synonyms.
This is powerful, psychologically, and doesn’t occur in inferior nations like Australia or those found in Europe.
When it comes to guns, we are truly unique in the history of the world.
Gun control won’t do jack shit and we all know it. The only people who will obey the gun control laws are the people who don’t need gun control laws.
Gun control is masturbation, something you do to make yourself feel better.
I’ll support it, what the hell. Make me get a Fedreal license. Make me take a test.
Whatever.
The only way we’re going to end mass shootings in America, land of guns, is to do some serious, hard-target, profiling of these fuckwads. What do they all have in common?
I have found that many of them, despite being adult, still live with their mothers. You’re an adult male still living with your mother?
Great big national pause before we issue them a gun license.
I have also noticed that most of them are all lazy little bitches with sporadic or even no work history.
Hey, if you can’t hold a job, why should we let you hold a gun?
I support gun control, but let’s be fucking realistic about it.
PROFILING.
But, hey, if it makes you feel better to make me get a license and take a test, have fun in fantasy land.
