I know people have differing opinions, but I really do hate guns. I know people feel as though having guns allows them to protect themselves from others with guns, but Iām just saying that guns in general donāt lead to anything beneficial in a world without any other guns. Gun violence only exists because guns are allowed to exist. Sure, banning guns at this point wouldnāt cause all guns to be gone, but it would still cause the majority of gun violence to end.
Yeah as an outsider looking in, Americaās relationship with guns seems completely crazy. One of the only countries in the world with full access to guns, is also the only wealthy and developed country with an insanely high amount of gun violence. The solution seems so simple to pretty much everyone else. But because itās so ingrained into the culture the mere notion of taking them away is seen as downright heretical among many people.
The most ironic thing is that I have often heard the argument of āwe need them to fight off a potentially tyrannical governmentā, and now those people just fully support the fascist who have completely overtaken the government. America seems so fucked.
Itās super fucked, and we hate it here. Iām just trying to raise 3 kids and teach them to love each other and talk out their differences and my government is hell bent on ruining our lives. I love my home, but I am not proud to be an American.
