This guy was a huge piece of shit, as evidenced by the things he said to his daughter before murdering her. You pinning this down as just another case of “guns inherently bad” takes the agency away from this guy, who seems to have been routinely weird about his daughter before he eventually murdered her. His problem wasn’t that he had guns, or that he was an alcoholic, his problem was that he either A) wanted to scare his daughter into agreeing with him by making her think he was going to kill her, or B) wanted to kill his daughter for disagreeing with him.
He could have murdered his daughter without a gun, he could have avoided murdering his daughter despite having a gun. How many people do you attribute not murdering per day to that fact that you just haven’t got a gun?
Look, cops have guns, lots of them, so by my assessment we should at least have some people that actually value human life who own guns too.
Edited more shit I had to say into this comment, sorry if you already read it the first time.
I’m not anti-gun. I just like criticizing gun-culture which I find the most juvenile and cringe subculture even beating out weed culture. I’ve owned guns in the past and will again in the future. Doesn’t change ARGO out here killing himself or his family through accidental discharges and whatnot.
Alright, well, you could have fooled me. I’m just out here trying to make sure we don’t get it in our heads that we need to disarm the proletariat, that’s all. Sorry if I came across as a little overzealous, I have had really long days back to back to back at work
