No, it's not alright. I'm sick of giving up freedoms every time some violent psycho/group of psychos decided to commit more violence.



Other than all the other psychos who kill a lot more people but are considered legitimate in their doings... We need more access to their information, drug companies making opiates that kill tens of thousands, various other corporations, various world leaders... etc. If we can tolerate them, then we can tolerate your run of the mill psycho doing things now and then and usually immediately being stopped from doing anything else.


Please try to use a different example. I have CRPS, the most painful disease known to man, and have not been prescribed any analgesics two years in because of fear around opioids. You might think you’re excluding my ilk when examples like this are used but you’re not in practice...Just trading tragedy you know for tragedy I hope you never learn about. Almost exactly like the freedom from unreasonable searches. Ty


I'd actually like to see that argument used more often. The ones they tolerate kill in larger numbers.


Let's all remember this post when it comes to vote for one of those Democrats who wants to take our guns away.
