So then surely you should be able to provide hard data that shows reducing gun violence has a specific and measurable impact on violence as a whole, no?
Lmao have any proof this time, or is it the same baseless slander as before?
Fucking amazing. Rare for there to be a genuine opportunity to axe so much of the shit the federal government does. Hope it goes through and opens the door for lots more cuts.
Good. Like 90% of federal functions should be shelved permanently.
I get my paycheck from the government lmao. My whole office is hoping it happens because you know how it usually goes? We come in, sign some paperwork about the shutdown, lay around at home until it resolves, and then they just backpay for the shutdown time. Free vacation basically.
Good. I'm all for keeping a federal shutdown instead of just conceding everything.
So a shitty federal push for shitty gun control?
An equally statistically irrelevant amount
I would propose that it's entirely pointless to focus on gun violence specifically because it's defined not by what makes it a problem (the violence) but rather by the arbitrary tool involved (guns). You could reduce gun violence to zero, and nothing would be better if the overall violence stayed the same. Which literally all available evidence demonstrates that it would, as you're not the first person to want authoritarian gun grabbing in place.
I don't want any more of this faux "compromise" bullshit handed out by gun grabbers. Our rights have been compromised enough with not a single damn thing to show in return. It isn't a compromise when they just do half of what they want and kick the other half down the road as a loophole they need to close.
