A Texas bill, known as the FURRIES Act, would ban non-human behaviors in public schools, including the use of litter boxes and wearing animal accessories.
Rep. Stan Gerdes, the bill’s author, claimed schools were providing litter boxes for students acting as “furries.”
When pressed, Gerdes could not find an example. The bill was left pending in committee.
Gun toting step father saturated in Faux News, he wasn’t going to vote for Liberal Commies even if they put a gun to his head at the ballot box.
If I had bought that Glock and 12 gauge, and practiced with them monthly, I probably would have invested about $5K total in the gun safe and a couple of other weapons - plus the time and ammunition, and I would have happily surrendered them AT THE SAME TIME as all of my neighbors should we have gone full UK gun ban here in the US. Not that I am typical, but the real problem with gun ownership is that guns are so cheap basically anybody can get one if it is the least bit important to them. Investing $50K in guns doesn’t make you any safer against the punk who walks up behind you with a .38 special. Banning guns, making them much harder to get and illegal to keep, that cuts down the number of punks who can get their hands on a .38 special in the first place.
This is the attitude I’m talking about. “Poor people are punks, who will walk up behind you with a .38spl. Guns should be more expensive to keep those filthy poors from getting them.”
Centrist, corporatist, elitist crap.
Most punks I know aren’t poor, they’re just punks. They come from poor, middle class, and rich parents in pretty much equal proportion.
Your attitude is showing in your assumptions.
That wasn’t an assumption. That was your own words:
Your argument doesn’t apply to middle class and rich “punks”. They’ll still be able to afford their guns. Your “real problem with gun ownership” argument only applies to the poor.
Again: guns are an equal access opportunity for all social classes.
For less than a couple hours’ minimum wage anyone can purchase lethal force in a convenient pocket carry size.
