It is baffling how many people think we don’t need gun control.

Yes, it is baffling. There is car control. Neither guns nor cars are sentient. Threats should be taken seriously and authorities should be able by law to act when threats are made.

What gun control measures are you referring to?

Probably ones that don't allow a man that threatened to blow up his mom's house and had the police called to the scene, then go out and buy a rifle and pistol to use to shoot up a gay bar.
I'm an avid gun owner but these shootings and all this hatred need to stop. And it's a lot easier to restrict access to something than it is to change a human mind.

I agree.

That would violate his second amendment right. At that point you could just assume literally anyone is mentally unfit to own a gun and then we have a bigger problem.

The second amendment needs to be amended. When it was written, things like mental health and stability were not accounted for, weaponized zealotry and hatred were not accounted for. It's a 231 year old document, it's absolutely insane to me that as a country we don't do a better job of keeping things like that modern. Then again, a good chunk of the US worships a man that was written in a book 2000 years ago so I shouldn't be too surprised I guess.

Medical marijuana patients aren't allowed to own guns, yet these people are.

What sort of dumb ass slippery slope fallacy argument is this? Are you implying that everyone makes threats like this? Or that his right to own a boom stick is more important than the lives of the people he killed?

You’re gonna have to find another way. It’s a constitutional right and the genie is already out of the bottle. They are absolutely prolific

There's literally 1000's of gun control laws already... yes thousands

But we need at least 4 more and then crime will stop! I promise! … I hate this political crap in an art sub.

You have a weird perception of art if you don't think it should have anything to do with politics.

This is some low effort, low quality, propaganda advert “art”. Sure, art is used all the time to push political agendas but the vast majority of high quality art is not created for the sole purpose of pushing a political message.
