Because protecting the right to kill people is far more important than protecting the right to love people. (or anything else)

    Every group that has been targeted by Trump and the incoming regime should be armed to the teeth at this point.

      Ah yes, the very effective fighting for gun control that NO ONE pushes back on despite all our deaths, school shootings, etc. I keep thinking we have an entire political party that treats every restriction as a precursor to gun confiscation, what was I thinking while under that rock??!!

        You said nobody gives a shit, people won’t shut up about it, ergo people do give a shit.

    Complaining that America has some things right doesn’t make sense.

      Pretty sure that the point OP is trying to make is that the equal rights of LGBTQ+ people should be as unassailable if not moreso than the right to ursine limbs.

        Dismissing other rights isn’t the way to go though. It’s not a zero sum thing, giving up guns doesn’t get you other rights.

          Except for the rights of a shitload of people to LIVE…

          To the shock of absolutely nobody approaching the matter rationally, it turns out that flooding a country with legally obtainable death tools with little to no safety regulations leads to an overabundance of murders and accidental deaths involving said tools.

            True, but banning said tools doesn’t end the problem.

            I’m not a 2A nut. I do have guns, but they’re locked up on my mom’s farm so I can target shoot for fun. I think gun control needs to happen, but legislation alone won’t fix the issue.
