I'm aware of your opinion. I just don't agree that now is a bad time to talk about kids dying. Because it's never been a good time. I've been told to wait for a better time to have this conversation for two decades, and in that time there's now hundreds more dead kids making it an even better reason to have this discussion.

We're adults. We can talk about all the bad things that need fixed, and we can do it all at once while other bad things are happening. Thinking otherwise is how we let this problem grow this big. Becuase it's been easier to be distracted by bigger priorities (9/11, 2008, Covid, etc) rather than actually work on a solution.

I'm not even advocating for banning guns at all. Just that we should have a conversation - one where we discuss what policy options could fix the accessibility problem of guns while still making your gun owning friends happy.

Yet, I can't even seem to get close to having that conversation with you without you somehow feeling insulted. Followed by you threatening me with violence you assume will occur to me despite me already saying I own guns and know how to use them.

Why is it that the biggest 2A supporters are the ones who run the fastest away from the adult conversation we need to have about guns in this country? Because at least Hogg isn't running away from the topic like you are just because it's a "bad time"

So of course you don't agree with him. The point I'm making is that if you don't, it should be you talking about it instead of postponing the conversation further. That's how kids die. And from my position, at least Hogg is trying to stop it instead of burying his head in the sand as you have advocated for.

So let me make this very clear: Fuck Democrats who want to ban guns, I just want them to be at least as hard to obtain as a car.

And that unfortunately makes me more closer aligned to Hogg. But at least I'm talking about it.
