this joke is funny here but it gets really sad when twitter and everyone repeats the same “original” knee slapper when this stat continues to be true, month after month after month 😒

I used to be an kneeslapper like them. Then I got shot by a toddler.

Right in the knee?

Columbine opened up my eyes about violence on innocent people.

Sandy hook made me realized literally the 2nd Amendment is more important than the lives of children.

If I had a genie, I'd thanos snap every gun in America. But until then, I'm gonna stay strapped and lol at the infinite sadness of our dystopian nightmare.

Well that's the fucked part of it. There's more of them than people. I hate to be that asshole who says "you're only hurting the bad guys with gun control" because theres issues with that argument, but in a lot of ways it applies to the US just because theres so fucking many. You can't get rid of them.

Take away them away and these two groups will still have them:

  1. Criminals (both violent and, many newly created, non-violent criminals)
  2. Cops (violent state-sanctioned gang with badges)

Not sure that's really a good outcome either.

How do you expect cops and unfranchised criminals to circumvent a reality bender? I'd be more worried about the reasonable uses for guns, like flare guns, PAFS, harpoon guns, nail guns, and so on.

Not to mention that a lack of guns just means nightsticks and lead pipes become popular again.

I'm partial to the wrist-mounted trebuchet.
