At the moment, lemmy is not great with comment integrity. If somebody deletes a comment (mod or the user themselves), the entire chain basically gets nuked.

So it looks like a conservative got embarrassed that they were supporting a white supremacist killer, and deleted their comments. Or maybe they got banned.

Any gun death is a gun death.

Homicides are bad.

Suicides by gun are bad.

My agenda is to reduce these deaths.

And then we would deny them their WIC, SNAP, and end the child tax credit to ensure they stay in poverty, and systematically defund public education.

And then when the poverty rate mysteriously jumps, which mysteriously causes crime rates to jump, we can just blame democrats.

Or the legislature should stop trampling on our rights.

Your rights end where my nose begins, and unrestricted gun access impedes the rights of others to live.

The founding fathers built that amendment in a time whith very different technology from today. Nowadays a gun can and frequently does mow down an entire room of innocent people/children.

If you care about the lives of your children you would do something to bring our death rates in line with the low rates of Europe. We have an almost ten times higher firearm death rate than European countries. The solution is not more unfettered gun access.

yet it’s probably the most violated right.

The right to vote would like a word.

Even I will admit this one is a stupid one. Maybe I’m biased because I have a 3D printer and am aware how fucking hard it is to keep in working condition, especially for high temp plastics needed for “3D printed” guns. Instead the legislature should target the ownership and sale of receivers.
