Edit context: Hasan is calling out right-wingers for getting upset about leftists carrying guns.

    You’re not a hypocrite for following the current law and also wanting to change the same law.

    One opinion is about what an individual’s best choice is, given the situation.

    The other is about what laws would be best for a society to have.

    What’s best for an individual is not always the same as what’s best for a group or society.

      Real leftism has always been pro-gun. This liberal anti-gun nonsense is childish.

        Its not childish. In fact the Democrat leaders that push for it are the same ones trying to betray the american people at every turn. Which makes it a Republican Tactic to keep Democrat voters defenSeless and further more to make them think it is their own idea to be defenseless.

        Its a wild and crazy mentality to have, I know, and yet here we are in a world where Republicans dont want Democrats to have protection from them and Democrats also dont want Democrats to have protections from Republicans.

          The state should not have the power to brutalize its own people. They should not have a monopoly on violence. Never again.

          To add to this, political speech (much like online discourse) benefits from flattening.

          Nuance (I enjoy guns and am pro-gun but I think there should be controls in place to make it more difficult for people who are likely to kill to obtain them) is harder to argue against and harder to make stick in people’s minds.

      The problem that we frequently run into is people who only want what’s best for them at the cost of society, while still wanting full benefits of being a member of said society.
