    “believe”. Because it’s a belief, like a religion. Ignore all other other humans who got rid of guns, because Americans can’t because they’re a special magical people who can’t give up guns.

    Jeezus. Americans aren’t special. Other countries have given up guns. America could do it do.

    You’re just scared. You - specifically you - are ruled by fear. Look at you. Thinking having a gun is going to help you defend shit.

    You’re a baby with a binkie who never grew up.

      America is special. There’s no country with this amount of diversity of culture or people. It’s an experiment that works and has kept working.

      Prior to having a family, I wasn’t nearly as scared. I was absolutely invincible. After having one? You bet your ass I’m scared and willing to protect them at all costs.

      I don’t think there’s any weakness in admitting that.

      Edit - also belief has nothing to do with religion in the context I’m using it here. To frame it another way: I have accepted that there is nothing that can be done to remove guns.

        And your religion (or fear) has fooled you into thinking that having a gun helps keep you or anyone around you safe.

        It’s your binky. Your pacifier. Your bible you hug and fondle without understanding.
