It feels kinda annoying seeing posts about the NRA when they haven’t been politically relevant for the past 10 years, and even more annoying when liberals blame the NRA for not being able to pass gun control

like. the NRA has only 5 million members. Over 100 million people in the US have guns. They literally represent less than 5% of all gun owners, if they vanished or went bankrupt tomorrow liberals still wouldn’t be able to pass gun control because gun owners are one of the most politically active groups out there and they’re not interested on becoming felons overnight because of liberals passing ineffective laws that ban certain guns based on aesthetics and doubling the police budget instead of trying to help the average citizen so they don’t have to go to crime to make ends meet

This whole story of “Those things are hard to do, passing gun contrrol is much easier” sounds completely untrue every day that passes

#guns #politics #nra #gun control #frankly I'm a commie who dislikes most gun control because 90% of the time it's those two things I mentioned #I also live in a country where gun control is largely ineffective to the point where the average gang has illegal assault rifles #the average civilian getting a gun here is extremely difficult #and we still have more murders than the US #and every time I say this liberals reply with 'of course you have more murders your country is a 3rd world shithole'#wow thanks glad to know you're just racist #imo one of the big problems with this whole gun control thing is the fact people don't associate it with law enforcement #people will straight up say 'acab' and 'we need more gun control' in the same fucking sentence as if cops aren't the ones who enforce it #like #who do you think will arrest people for having 'illegal' guns?#the tooth fairy?#no #it's the police #it's always the police #and they will always conveniently forget to arrest a bunch of nazis for stockpiling weapons and threatening to commit mass shootings #and will instead stop and frisk every minority in a 'bad' neighborhood for 'illegal' weapons #you guys need massive police reform before you try to tackle taking guns away from dangerous people #because cops are in bed with those dangerous people and until you realize that you won't be able to fix anything #idk I'm just rambling I don't wanna start a big argument #I just wish people were more responsible with what they're arguing for
