That Feeling When an Intellectually Honest Gun Control Supporter Sees The Entire Picture

Dan Zimmerman - comments No comments

“We don’t want no mo’ police.”

“No Justice, No Peace.”

“Mostly Peaceful Protests.”

“Gun Control is a crisis of Public Health.”

Just to remind us: the same people are making all four points. Completely without noticing how they interact. I don’t know how that is accomplished.

Together it reads:

We are going to let you know that we will attack you (“no justice no peace”), that we want the police who would protect you abolished (no more police), and our press will cover it up (“mostly peaceful protests”) while we make self-defense a mental illness.

I’ve previously been for some sensible gun control and I don’t even understand this at all. There is simply no way to make all these arguments and not notice that the totality of them demands people live in a state of *total* physical vulnerability without even a press to report.
