    This is my last attempt to reach the rational part of you. If you can’t disassociate from the emotional overbearance you are clearly under than just move on now. Why waste effort if you aren’t going to comprehend. Life is fleeting.

    I don’t expect to change your mind. I don’t expect anything. This is for your benefit, if you can see it, idc the outcome, I’m washing my hands of it after I click send and I’ll never think of it again.

    The part you aren’t acknowledging is about personal agency. Full stop. It begins and ends there.

    You must think that responsible ownership of a tool is impossible. I think that’s luda. I also don’t need or want guidance from some overreaching surveillance/police state masquerading as a nanny state. It’s always ‘think about the children’ being said as they take our rights away. History and precedent matter because people don’t change without education. So we see education under attack too.

    Being pro 2A≠advocating murder. In your monumental jump to conclusions and making an ass out of yourself with a dozen different assumptions, you have no idea where I stand on gun control, on what I think responsible ownership looks like, and what training I think ownership should require. Which tracks, you’ve given zero consideration to anything I’ve said and not concerned yourself with any overlap we might share on a vin diagram. I fall heavy left of center, in most ways you’d find an ally in me, but not in this way.

    How’s that car you drive? Those things kill innocent people everyday. Kids included. I’m sure you’re out there leading chants at every city council demanding door to door public transportation aren’t you? NO? Channeling all your efforts into just this, a single issue voter then? Got it.

    To the crux

    You method of communication and engaging conversation is weak, ineffective, and frankly, fucking boring. Learn how to debate and have an adult conversation. If you can’t empathize with the other side you’re just brow bashing.

    You are failing to account for human nature.

    You can’t FORCE an understanding onto someone else. That’s reeducation camp, conversion therapy bullshit. People don’t look up to their abuser and say “gee they have a point”, they dig in and double down. They tap their inner teenage angst and rebellion and remember they don’t need money to say fuck you.

    You insist a square peg will fit into a round hole, but don’t mention the damage youll have to do to it first.

    Goddamnit, I had this same fucking convo with my trans tankie cousin and I adore that little bitch. Motherfuckers. If you’re trying to sway opinions to your side, YOU are responsible for your pitch. If it’s ineffective, that’s on YOU. You don’t get to dunk on opposition and show glee. It undermines everything you do.

    Fuck your feelings. If your communication is ineffective - what are you even doing? Reevaluate. Reassess. Learn the lesson so you stop repeating it, especially if you’re just galvanizing the other side, ensuring protracted loggerheads.

    For fucks fucking sake, fuck.

    I hope you have a good life.

      Ah, sorry for not being more entertaining. How about you go out back and rub down your gun and fantasize about all the people you are going to kill instead?

      Also: Once you have openly talked about fantasizing about murdering others, you lose the “cars are dangerous too”. Because if someone were fantasizing about how they would be able to mow down a few people before the cops got them? Yeah, they should not own a car either.

      And the only thing I am “responsible” for here is trying to avoid pissing off random lunatics on the street who might decide to grab the gun out of their holster and start unloading on me and my family.

      As for your feelings? I don’t try to explain to Nazis that Jewish people are humans. I don’t try to explain to white supremacists that Black people are humans. And I don’t try to explain to people so disgusting as to claim systemic racism as an excuse to make the world a more dangerous place and plan for murder that they are idiots.

      Because, like I said: You are only worthy of scorn.

      Instead, I highlight the people just looking for a clock tower so that others can see how disgusting and psychotic these people are.
