yes.

And without a local militia to actually defend them

They’ve seen real weapons of war in action, not just hunting rifles

Eh, most of the ex US military is totally fine with guns

I think it's the fervent abuse of power combined with having firearms arbitrarily pointed at them that's probably at the core

The veterans use the guns from a positon of strength and not of being a victim.

and seeing their families chopped to bits and raped

yeah

I think I would almost put that out as a reason how they are not integrating

As it stands from the hunting/2gun/3gun/target shooting/elr communities; I'm cool with american gun culture in those respects

I am not cool with random gang bangers holding their straw purchased "problem solvers" towards innocent people or other stupid gangbangers

I would just like to cut out a quarter of the firearms deaths in the country

I don't think that's far fetched and with the right legislation it could be reality

it doesn't even take significant amounts of cash

Until the black start taking responsibility for their own communities again the problem is not going to go away.

Going after straw purchases is a big one, but of course if police start doing that we’re gunna hear cries of racism

The real question is will the police respond with “tough shit” or will they cave to the complaints

But if they start enforcing the laws we have how are they going to put new ones in place.

1) Make it so that the depressed or suicidal can seek council without repercussion in regards to firearm rights
2) Push societal changes to be both more open to seeking help for such things while also encouraging people to take more responsibility
3) [a second piece of #1] If a person is determined to be of significant risk and needs to have their weapons confiscated at least temporarily, make it easy and straightforward to get their property back

Nah dude; targeting the black/latino gang community is not what I had in mind

That's a fucking problem that I don't have a good solution for

Pretty much anything I could conceive of that would work would be inherently racist

and that's not really where I want to go with shit

curb your supremecy

The gang problem will continue until the communities start to work with the police to fight them.

Honestly most people with severe mental illness should need a qualified doctor’s approval for firearm ownership. The problem is if you start a program like that are you just going to deter people from getting treatment

ashkenazi jews are more intelligent than whites on average

tbh just always more inteligent

you don't even need the average part

See, that's what I'm saying, you need to get rid of the deterrents for people seeking treatment

a bit of a paradox though

what if giving someone guns boosts their serotonin

and gets them out of a depression spiral

with firearms getting more stigmatized across the US; it's less and less likely folks will seek treatment (Because they find some solace in that right; even though they're pretty much holding on to their grave)

yes; it does

a lot of PTSD folks from the mil are like that

I think guns need to be more normalized across the board

i grew up in a libtard household and never actually went to a range or anything but i don't feel they are dangerous nor make me feel powerful to hold one

Your family members do though.

mhmm

I would say you're a femboyfox outlier
