Have an example?
Far right brownie points, easy to get the dipshits to like you because “muh gunz”, manufactured outrage, just take your pick Honestly they’re all correct.
Well I am scared of guns so these people do not or ever will have my vote. But correct me if I am wrong but does this not promote violence.?
Yes but like most dog whistles it can be hand waved away as “sporting” or “protecting mah property”.
I’m something of a gun nut myself and still find it off-putting. A lot of the time you can tell they have no idea what they are doing with a gun other than a photo op. It doesn’t inspire confidence at all. But their base, that these commercials are made for, does not care.
I have a hard time equating the display or firing of a gun with promotion of violence but context makes a difference. Same thing with baseball bats. Both are used in competitive sports or could be tools for killing/maiming others. It’s performative and pandering but not necessarily violent without more information.
gun safety is important and a critical step in understanding guns. you don’t have to like them, but you should at least understand them to not be scared of them. they are a tool, and when used correctly and for the right job, they are invaluable. I’m not a gun nut, I own one single handgun. but just like anything, people fear what they don’t understand.
yes, they’ve been promoting violence for decades, that’s why it’s hilarious that someone used Trump’s words against him and took a shot, then all the Rs cried about “political violence”. gtfo, youve been calling for violence and murder your entire campaign, and before.
This is such a weird take. People aren’t against guns because they don’t understand them, it’s because guns are literally weapons. Pretty much everyone understands perfectly well what a gun is and what it does. What you’re describing isn’t understanding, it’s desensitisation to people literally carrying weapons around. “Gun safety” is a poor argument when objectively the safest thing is to just not be around guns.
It’s poser bullshit. They think holding a weapon makes them look like a badass, even though almost anyone can do it.
It’s virtue signalling for the 2A crowd
ok now I got to ask what is the 2A crowd or what does it even mean? Sorry to sound old but kind of seems I am catching up everyday on lingo.
No worries, 2A is short for second amendment, the one that said people should have guns because a well regulated militia was necessary for national defense.
