You feel like a big pile of dirty laundry - people need things from you, but nobody wants to go near you.

It’s tiring to just exist, because your brain goes into overdrive showing every single bad thing in your life and every single sign that someone may dislike you. And it amplifies them until they tower over you and you cannot escape seeing them.

Basically they are intended by design as murder weapons. When everyone has them individual and mass murders are an inevitability. I'm not even surprised anymore.

Criminal is an act not necessarily a status, someone can be totally law abiding then murder for any reason. The US seems to be stuck in a loop of deaths with no intent on stopping them. The 'criminals will have them anyway' argument ignores how other more regulated countries don't have the same extent of issues.

I do not own a gun and would not feel safe around someone who does.

pretty chill here in America, seems like tensions are heating up with Israel and the Russian/Ukraine war is seemingly going to rage on throughout the year, Europe is having energy problems as a result. Id say being American it is not bad for us right now, we do have an election coming up in 2 years so shit might get a little hairy because of that politically.

Other first world countries have relatively fixed the gun violence issue. Get rid of guns.

The UK hasn't had a school shooting since the dunblane massacre in 1996, when they decided children's lives were not worth people owning firearms.

They have less than 1/5 of the homicide rate as the US.

We can fix this issue, any excuses given are... well just that, excuses.

People aren't pro gun. They are pro school shootings.
