Second Amendment Discussion

Europe is capitalist and that’s bad. But you are not infested with American Necro-Capitalism.

Rich people make a lot of money selling guns. That settles the matter in America.

It’s not about armed protests, protecting your family, giving women a defense against sexual assault, deer hunting, cop killing, genocide on black folk, or any of that. It’s a product. People profit from it.

Am I broken record? It’s not my fault it always boils down to the same thing.

How the **** could you not understand it’s about money? Gun lobby. Money. Gun sales. Money. Arms manufacturing. Money. Weapons development. Money.

Guess how you get a gun at a gun show. You pay money.

Who funds the Republican Party? The gun lobby. How do they do that? With money. Who do they work for? Weapons manufacturers. Why do people manufacture weapons? To sell them.

Spoiler for “$”:

rural folk associate guns with self-reliance, it's an isssue of symbolic retardation

Gun ownership varies significantly around the world. The only three countries that consider gun ownership a constitutional right are Mexico, Guatemala, and the United States. Over 175 countries allow their citizens to own firearms, and many have specific regulations on ownership, such as banning certain types of firearms.

United States (120.5)
Falkland Islands (62.1)
Yemen (52.8)
New Caledonia (42.5)
Serbia (39.1)
Montenegro (39.1)
Uruguay (34.7)

Its both tbh

Gun culture in america has been present since day 1. Having a gun on the frontier was pretty ****ing important.

But in the modern day context the big arms industry companies use the NRA to indoctrinate people against any gun restrictions cause it's good for business. They take the already existing gun culture and weaponize it against any threats to the industry.

yep, it seems more likely to me that it all started with America's chauvinist gun obsession, and then a few psychos realised how much money they could make off it

that's true but not fair. The money question this discussion is about is specifically profiting off the gun industry, not greed in general
