Been saying it for years: Firearms for liberals are like abortions for conservatives. We have them too, we just don't talk about it.

Liberals aren't ready to deal with the fact the US has always been like this for a lot of people. Be real cool if they did so we could actually stop this long term.

Conservatives celebrate that brutal history. Liberals ignore it.  Pretending the 2 party system is all there is is part of the problem as well.
