<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\nWell, in case you’re unfamiliar with the United States, we have a fucking problem<\/i> with guns. While there are recent events that are particularly<\/a> notable<\/a> examples<\/a>, our incidences of mass shootings are common and significant<\/a>. I’ve been thinking about it a lot<\/i>.<\/p>\n I grew up in an environment with a lot<\/b> of guns. Like, my dad, pap, and cousin owned probably nearly arsenals and my brother wasn’t far behind (I don’t keep track of how many they own these days). While my pap was shot twice (by someone else, once when he was a kid – in the eye – and once while hunting small game – in the dick, no lies), in our direct family I only know of one other incident of gun violence in my family, which was a different cousin who committed suicide.<\/p>\n I’m pointing this out because when I was growing up, guns were used “responsibly,” as in, we didn’t use them in unsafe ways, we were taught gun safety very early, etc. I shot a rifle for the first time when I was like 9. I actually own guns (that may be changing, I’m not sure). So these people misusing guns, they were not us<\/i>, they weren’t responsible gun owners. <\/i>
<\/i>But I totally grew up right next to some of the classic trash bags who own a shitton of guns and want to use them to hurt people. You can be “safe” with your guns all you fuckin’ want but when it comes to mass shootings, that’s not about how well you can avoid accidentally<\/i> shooting someone. Like, let’s be real. Responsible gun ownership means shit right now. People are electing to go kill people, in public, en masse, with guns. For like, a whole host a reasons that are… okay nah. There’s no good reason.<\/p>\n
