OPINION is it time for gun control?

[Race Jones]

every day we hear about people saying we need gun control but the concept of “gun control” has always had racist and classist undertones. the first attempt at “gun control” was keeping weapons out of the hands of newly freed africans.

now it seems to be an attempt to keep it out of the hands of the poor and disenfranchised by making it extremely hard to purchase guns under a new licensure sys

america has a crime problem. a prison problem. and a gun violence problem. agreed? but what does gun control look like in a country that has a deep relationship with white supremacist militarism and imperialism?

and who will ultimately be harmed in the process?

 

[Suckio Andretti]

We needed gun control for decades

Gun control isn't what's needed.

Gun control is near the bottom of a very long list of things that need change. It catches the eye though, so it becomes the lightning rod

@Race Jones

[Suckio Andretti]

Bingo

 

[Allah_U_Akbar]

Yep.

Australia doesn’t have mass shootings.

It’s no mystery why.

It’s not rocket science.

 

[Dwayne]

Less guns in circulation = less shootings

Canada has more guns per person and less shootings.

 

[CeLLar-DooR]

It's too late for you guys I'm afraid. To solve this issue by gettin' rid of guns you'd need force people to send the weapons they already have away and that won't happen.

Prolly be easier to solve the societal reasons behind the shootings

But yes some common sense laws are definitely needed

 

[Dwayne]

Don’t compare the US to countries where the white race is by far the majority.

We are very diverse here where black folks actually hold some sort of power. Don’t be bringing up no damn Australia or shit like Denmark.

They don’t have an issue with with white supremacy because it’s basically a white country.

They don’t have an issue with law enforcement on minorities.

Take a look at the bigger picture

Tell me the numbers in Japan

 

[Mr.LV]

New Zealand had that 2019 mass shooting in the Christchurch mosque and they changed the gun laws within a month ,that was the last mass shooting.

Unfortunately we are just going to have to deal with these mass shootings in the United States, whether it's a club ,Elementary school ,store or movie theater .

 

[Dwayne]

Tell me the numbers in Japan

The numbers in Japan is saying they are dying faster they are producing. They have a different problem. Japan leads the world in death due to working.


Gun control here is a minor problem compared to what really needs to be addressed

But it grabs headlines so y’all fall for it every time
