    Some day we'll live in a country where elections are decided by issues that actually matter, but it is not this day.

    yeah the focus should have been on how that was a legally retarded thing to say. As in, it would never, and could never, happen. But everyone else was concerned as fuck about it. Same with Biden being elected. "Oh he's gonna do another AWB!!" No he's not. Voters on the left have just as many guns as voters on the right and it'd be political suicide. It's pandering, just like anything else. But the media runs with it instead of holding them accountable and saying to stfu you literally cannot do what you're saying.

    Just leave peoples guns alone and it will. Once you get rid of the guns they will never come back so people will vote to keep them for as long as possible.

    If they thinks having guns is more important than abortions, you guys should let them secede. I don’t know how that state can become a bigger embarrassment.

    I mean, having guns is more important than having abortions… but those two aren’t mutually exclusive outside of Texas, so it doesn’t really matter.

    Yeah, at least 3/4 of voters can't even have abortions, but they can all have guns.

    It’s funny how a Texas likes to brag about itself pro-life while encouraging gun ownership and executing retarded people.

    That’s because the “pro-life” crowd only claims to care about the unborn. Once you need something, you’re now a socialist. It’s cheap and easy philanthropy. It costs nothing to support and requires nothing but words. The unborn ask for nothing and epitomize innocence. Taking care of vulnerable people costs money. Fighting for the unborn costs nothing.

    I'm not normally one to say that guns are just a virtualized penis for their owners, but a gun literally being your penis would be the only way that guns were as important as abortions.

    A persons right to defend themselves > a woman’s right to be too lazy to take birth control. There is no legitimate argument defending the contrary. And before the “But what about rape?!” argument that always makes an appearance, extreme outliers are not the context of what is being discussed here.

    Bodily autonomy > LARPing. There is no legitimate non-Rambo-based argument defending the contrary.

    Have you ever actually seen a gun in real life?

    Yes. I'm actually not a bad shot with a shotgun, but I was pretty piss poor with a handgun. Halo lied to me.

    Do you think that citizens should be allowed to own firearms, for any reason?

    I'm not even advocating for stronger gun laws, I'm just advocating not being a complete retard who bases their vote on guns. People out here saying "well this guy wants to take my guns away, so I have to vote for the guy who wants to take my literal right to vote away." Stupidest shit imaginable.

    Texas is not pro-life. Texas government is anti-poor people.

    I thought the Republicans were anti-poor people.

    How did the Democrats go so horribly wrong with the working class?

    And remember: Guns don't kill people, dangerous minorities do.

    Birth control isn't 100%. Even sterilization.
