Guns are the problem.

Well it’s a good thing guns aren’t ever owned, handled, or used by people. Oh. Wait.

A handgun’s only purpose is to kill you (or another human). A world where easy access to lethal force is the only way you feel safe is a dystopian one you should never want to live in.

It doesn’t “happen” to be it was specifically constructed to be one by radical revisionist lawyers in the early 20th century whose tortured arguments were enshrined in legal precedent by Antonin Scalia.

You ever see an old western movie where they have to hang up their guns in town? The typical 19th century western American settler town had more gun control than Philadelphia does today.
