It’s so hilariously disingenuous to keep pretending that this is about reducing casualties and not making sure you can’t defend yourself against tyranny.
it's pure phony. the bulk of these "legally obtained" firearm cases are like parkland or sandy hook where the shooter was already known to police and the entire incident would have been prevented if law enforcement had just enforced the law.
shit, the cops had been to the home of the parkland shooter 53 times in the prior year. the kid had been expelled and referred to the FBI for mass murder threats. but if the kid was arrested, the school district would lose it's "preferred status" under the Youth Protect Act for receiving federal grants for as a reward for keeping student crime down.
in the bulk of these cases, they didn't actually reduce crime, they just stopped enforcing the laws and lied about it.
How many deaths would be prevented if we just admitted that trans people are mentally ill and shouldn't be allowed to make their own decisions?
