The irrational love of guns is a mental illness.
If we’re really serious about caring for the mentally ill in this country, then we need to help those who need it most: GUNHUMPERS. You know: those freaks of nature who love their precious guns more than they care about the safety of their own children. Those people are dangerous sociopaths who desperately need our help.
GUNHUMPERS are liars and deceivers, too; every single one of them. They lie through their teeth about why they need to have 17 fucking automatic weapons in their homes. They claim it’s for protection or self-defense or ‘sport’ or whatever, but let’s face it, what it comes down to is this: THEY JUST REALLY LOVE GUNS. That’s it.
Why can’t they admit it? They just love guns. More than anything – more than life itself – more than hearth, home, family, church – more than anything on God’s green earth: they just really, really REALLY fucking love guns!
But here’s the problem: a pathological, sexual attraction to assault rifles is not a good enough reason to keep them legal. Sorry. IT IS A SICKNESS.
Further research needs to be done on this, but if we can’t depend on GUNHUMPERS to be truthful about their abnormal attraction to deadly weapons, why should we believe they have only good intentions for all of this military hardware?
The easy answer to America’s gun epidemic is to just take the fucking guns away from everyone. By force, if necessary. We are not worthy. Americans are not responsible or mature enough to deal with military-grade hardware in a safe and responsible manner.
If you’re crazy enough to believe that bringing more weapons into your neighborhood makes it safer, you are obviously too fucking crazy and stupid to enjoy the right to bear arms.
The vast majority of Americans citizens should have their weapons taken from them.
Strict gun control laws have been enacted in free societies before, and it works. If there was ever a “gun culture,” Australia was it. Like America, that nation was also built on overwhelming firepower and genocide. The settlers conquered and enslaved the indigenous population thanks to superior weaponry.
Yet after one too many massacres by crazed gunmen, Australia took the bold step in 1996 of banning most firearms, including assault rifles. Since then, gun violence has dramatically decreased. Sure, bad guys can still get their hands on weapons, but instead of the bargain prices criminals pay in the USA, black-market guns cost tens of thousands of dollars in Australia. There aren’t a whole lot of mentally ill loners who can afford to pay $45,000 for an AK-47…put it that way.
Americans bought nearly 20m guns in 2021, the firearms industry’s second-best year on record. Gun deaths were also up, with 45,000 Americans killed by firearms last year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. More than 1,500 were children or teenagers. Among the dead were the victims of 692 mass shootings, defined as resulting in four or more people killed or wounded, in the US in 2021.
America’s militaristic gun culture has done our society irreparable harm. Gun culture is a culture of death and destruction and misery; not freedom and liberty. Fuck all the hateful, ignorant, scared-shitless people who think the 2nd Amendment allows them to stockpile an arsenal of weapons to use against their fellow citizens whenever they get pissed off about something.
It’s a mental-health problem, not a policy issue.
Things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better. And there are no signs that things will get any better any time soon.
