      Seriously.

      Like, the Democrats finally learned ONE EFFECTIVE THING with “weird”.

      It would be super cool if we didn’t ONCE AGAIN torpedo the ever-living fuck out ourselves by saying PROVEN STUPID SHIT THAT ALWAYS GUARANTEES THE SAME RESPONSE.

      We have at least ten more years before talking about gun control will have the opposite effect it does now.

      Currently even mentioning it does nothing demonstrable FOR the person who says it (because it’s typically hand waving instead of problem solving) but it sure as hell drives up ammo sales and gun afficianado panic levels.

      It’s a footgun, not a soapbox.
