    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.
