Fucking Boomers.

VERY Reich-wing

If so, you should simply be able to ask who controls everything he has heard about the event? About pop culture, anti-gun movement, and so on...

That seems like such a short trip I'm honestly not sure why you feel you need an assist.

whatever laws are passed are passed by a corrupt givt..nothing they do is to protect peope or make their life better..it is for power ,control and wealth... you think we are in Ukraine to preserve democracy ..LOL..you think mask mandates and vaccine mandate were to protecr lives ..lol.. you believe the left and Joe Biden ..like they are good people but ,just, OH golly ,we get some things wrong occasionally.....LOL...it is an international crime syndicate

"Nobody needs long guns!"--he has several"

I'd start by asking why he doesn't get rid of them, then? And by "get rid of", I don't mean sell them so that he can get some of his money back...because for all he knows, he may be selling them to the next mass shooter. Rather, I mean break them down and melt them like the government would love to do.

I like throwing facts at these people.

For example, cars kill more people every year than guns. Substantially more, whether on purpose or not. We don't technically "need" cars. We have legs and horses. So, why not outlaw cars, too?

Also, if you outlaw long guns, people will still be able to get them. Only it will be criminals who get them and then who will defend against criminals with long guns? The police? That's laughable considering the police response (if you can even call it that) in Uvalde. Basically, outlawing drugs hasn't done a fucking thing, so why would outlawing guns be any different?

And this one for the kill.. the very response that the Uvalde police provided is one of the best pieces of evidence that you can't depend on cops to protect you or your family. Period. There is no way around this. It's an objectively proven fact just based on the Uvalde case alone, much less the thousands of others you could easily reference.

And even in the cases where cops actually show up and actually do their jobs in a timely fashion, it's still not enough. Because fucking bullets fly faster than cop cars can move.

Oh, and then there's the matter of logistics, expense, compliance.. which would be easier? To have armed guards at schools or to attempt to confiscate all long guns in the country? Which would cause more bloodshed? Which is more or less reasonable? Which would be more or less expensive in the short or long term? Which preserves VS erases freedom? Which would actually be most effective (keep in mind that outlawing guns will never actually get rid of them from the population). The correct answer here is so easy that a fucking 8 year old could understand it. Why is he ok with protecting jewelry stores, banks, politicians, etc. with guns, but not kids? Which then begs the question, why is your uncle such an asshole?

And then of course, why would someone who is "based" as he claims to be accept the premise that the only people who can have guns would be the same government who releases viruses, forces experimental medical tests on its citizens, forces them to shut down their businesses while allowing big box stores to operate, and otherwise oppresses the same people it swears an oath to protect?

The fact that you should even have to explain any of this shit is indicative of deeper problems to begin with. Not the least of which being cognitive dissonance where the logical brain shuts off and the emotional brain takes over completely.

That's really the main problem here. You're trying to use logic to reason with someone who is only going off of emotion to begin with.

Decisions based on emotions is illogical.

If he can't answer the JQ, and if hes walking back now, then either 1. he never actually considered any of it and was humoring you all along 2. it demonstrates the power of propaganda.

The media is the black beating heart of the enemy.

Take down the media, or control the infrastructure so you get to decide who broadcasts or doesn't, and you control everything else.

Napoleon was almost correct when he said "Imagination rules the world."

What he should have said is Perception rules the world.

There is no reasonable rule that would have prevented it without unduly infringing on others rights.

He legally bought the gun

Killed his mom

Stole the car

Crashed the car

Shot up a cemetery and a school.

Unless you want to make pre-crime or thought crime a thing there is no way to stop this from happening by controlling the sale of arms without infringing upon non-psychos rights

Just ask him why he expects a law against carrying a certain type of firearm to prevent shootings when Texas' death penalty wasn't enough to deter the murders.

There is already a long list of firearms that are illegal and that didn't stop a single one of these school shootings.

I'm to the point where I just tell people to fuck off and never talk to me again regardless of if they are family or friends. Not going to have people like that around me or my children.

Here faggot, show him this https://poal.co/s/Odd/544347

This guy has pretty hot takes on the Uvalde shooting.

My feeling is that your Uncle is a lost cause. He deserves The Pillow.
