    Justification is easy. Damn near no one does anything they don’t feel is justified. You may not agree with it, but that doesn’t really matter, because the right people will.

    A lot of the most evil shit in history was done by people who felt completely justified in doing it.

    Justification is a stupidly low bar.

      You’re missing the point. We don’t need to justify to the government why we need to do anything. The government needs to justify to us why it should be prohibited. Feeling justified in your own actions doesn’t come into it.

      As for “the most evil shit in history”, it should be extremely easy for the government to justify prohibiting it.

        I say go the other way. Fucking people are trash and need to be babysat like fucking toddlers. Government is the only sensible people trying to keep it all together

          That’s pretty funny, does that include your political enemies?

          From my pov government is “just people” like the rest of us, they just happened to be elected by a bunch of trash toddlers to be “head trash toddler #24.”

          Government is horrible at policing individuals. Name one instance where involving the government in peoples daily lives has had a net positive impact. I’m not talking about social services either, I’m talking authority that has gone into the home and “baby sat” individuals.

              Oo, I’ll agree with that. Public education is positive. Is that your argument, people should receive more education?

        To any reasonable person it is extremely easy to justify prohibiting easy access to firearms. And yet here we are, with mass shootings happening every other day in the US.
