Running out of reality to blame, they got to make stories.

  • make up stories

    It’s an analogy, that’s how they work.

    And it’s not a really flawed one. But the big difference is that Cars are tools, they have legitimate and important usecases outside killing people and they are much harder to kill people with since it’s relatively easy to flee from a car, they tend to get stuck in tight spaces

    Which imo makes cars okay to own.

    But yes, cars are also super dangerous, look at the Christmas-market attacks over here in Europe. And nobody wants to ban cars.

      Well, in some niche cases (rural living and wild animals) I can be convinced they can be a tool. But generally that ‘tool’ is just violence.

      2A ppl want to have violence as an option, which rapidly turns problematic.

      Letting the government have a monopoly on violence can indeed be problematic. I would be more amenable to the 2A arguments if they weren’t such arrogant fucks about it.
