disclaimer there are people on this sub who have been here a while and make civil conversation daily and this isnt about you... there are also people who show up everytime the news mentions gun control... this is about you.

Please for God's sake im begging you stop making this our problem. We know. We know that democrats have a boner for banning "assault rifles". We lobby. We write letters. Most of all we are concerned. We cast our votes based on more than just the 2nd amendment. Yes it still matters. No we don't hate ar15s.

You have had decades and decades where you, conservatives, have had full 100% control of the narrative of, and the lobbying for gun rights in America. Now that a bunch of liberals ran out and bought guns BECAUSE THEY WERE TERRIFIED OF A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT AND A CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT you think that magically we are all "in this together"?

Yes and at the same time resoundingly no.

Here's what you can do to get your house in order before you keep coming over here to give us advice on our lawn. Right away... stop swinging those things around in public. Treat it like a dick. Be proud of it. Use it responsibly. Stop whipping it out in public and showing people who didn't ask to see it. Have a talk with your militia buddies and maybe tell them to stop being so god damned menacing all the time on social media. Why are poc's and the lgbtq community worried about conservatives? Because conservatives talk about killing them, for no reason, daily on the internet. Last but certainly not least... get counseling... or therapy... or at least learn the difference. Then get which ever is appropriate for what you have going on. Fix all that toxic masculinity... admit you're wrong from time to time... maybe hug another dude... whatever you have to do to get rid of your rage boner.

Maybe if you addressed some of your bullshit we wouldn't have this conversation once a month about what we (the ones who are "in this together" or whatever) are going to do about gun control... we don't seem to have an issue with shooting up public places... you do. Im sure someone's gonna come at me about some progressive that blew something up a dozen plus years ago... but its not monthly. Its not constantly. Stop trying to make this our problem. We know which part of this we are responsible for. You are the ones who seem to be confused.

Let me explain that last part. You keep coming in here and making it like we, liberalgunowners, are on the same "side" as democrats that want to ban guns. This is not the case. But since that seems to be the constant assumption I am going to use the same logic to put you in the same basket as the pizza gate dude and the guy who just ran a national guard caravan off the road and accused them at gun point of trafficking children or whatever. So... here's the thing. Since right now you are saying "but disastrousferret... Im not crazy". OK. I dont want to ban guns...

Here's what you can do... go to a progressive, Democrat, socialist, liberal, whatever that isn't a gun owner... convince them... find a way to middle ground those people... convince them not to ban guns. See... because coming in here? You're not doing any actual labor for your cause. You're asking us to do that labor for you... which... alot of us are already doing without your invitation. Go out and convince the country that YOU aren't crazy. Convince the people who bought guns because of the last president that they shouldn't be afraid of your next presidential nominee. For bonus points... when they push back and give you all the reasons they don't trust you... listen, empathize, and put yourself in their shoes. In short. Try not to make it about yourself. Try to actually do something for this thing you claim to be passionate about. And most importantly... before posting in here immediately following a presidential tweet about gun control... read the last 20 posts for that day and only post if what you're about to say has something to offer that we didn't already get told today.
