13. They just wear me out

One thing I am rather vocal on is gun control, and I proudly proclaim myself a "control-freak". I want the same laws that every other civilized country has to curb gun violence. I'm so tired of the plain insanity/NRA lies that say guns everywhere are safe. They twist logic to try to convince the agnostic that guns are not meant for one thing and that is to kill. But truly, they fight and fight to their last breath and they just wear me out.

It is very clear: it does not matter what they say or think because only their intense fear drives them. We don't need to have their approval for gun control measures which they all will fight every time. I find it hilarious that all the gunners on here list the kind of control measures they would approve, as if their voice as gun owners is the only one that matters. Right now, I'm happy that most of the country is starting to ignore them, because the cries of grieving families is a sound that is too loud to ignore. You have to be absolutely insane to hear about dead kids and your first thought be to worry about your own guns. And yet, that is absolutely their first response, to jump on every thread screeching about their rights. We need to stop listing to religious nuts, racist nuts, homophobic nuts,and gun nuts. We've let them guide policy with their fear tactics far too long.
