Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

Tennessee Govna' Bill Lee, having protected his schools from people like him, who enjoy crossdressing on campus has now taken an unsteady aim at gun reform. His party will likely stonewall him, but it's his first step in the right direction.

Tennessee Republican governor calls on state lawmakers to toughen gun restrictions

Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee on Tuesday urged the state’s legislature to pass additional gun control measures, an especially charged subject in a state that recently suffered a school shooting and the acrimonious expulsion of two Black Democratic lawmakers who called for greater firearm restrictions.


“I’m asking the General Assembly to bring forward an order of protection law. A new strong order of protection law will provide the broader population cover, safety, from those who are a danger to themselves or the population,” Lee said at a news conference, adding that he would like legislators to pass the legislation within the current legislative session, which ends in a few weeks.

Explain to me how someone without a gun shoots someone?

First you explain to me how making guns illegal stops a criminal from acquiring one...

Oh really? If it weren't all those conservative states with the most lax gun laws with the highest firearm mortality per capita.

Oh really?

"Although adjusted for differences in age-distribution and population size, rankings by state do not take into account other state specific population characteristics that may affect the level of mortality. When the number of deaths is small, rankings by state may be unreliable due to instability in death rates."

Also, show me stats without suicides.

The difference being what you perceive as an infringement of your constitutional rights is necessary regulation of one specific right, maybe with a bit of misapplied due process. What the rest of the world see is a bunch of crazy gun nuts prepping themselves to wage a second civil war, which they'll lose, because they've excessively armed every other citizen who is against them.

Wait.. on one side you will have "a bunch of crazy gun nuts" and the other side you will have some woke sissy trannies.. and you believe that your soy loving side will win?

Adorable.

So you fully support an abolishment of the 2nd Amendment and a door to door confiscation of all firearms?

You're assuming someone denied the right to buy the AR-15 he used to murder others has an easy recourse to getting the same weapon on the black market. It's not. Though on the chance he did, and the shooting still occured, I'd be for them execution of the dealer who sold it. Cracking down on gun shows and private party deals is also part of proposed legislation.

Yes, your gun nut havens are also also swamped with gun deaths. Sucks to suck

You’re naively assuming someone fucked up enough to make the decision to murder people and is denied buying an AR-15 legally is just going to to suddenly reform their evil ways.

“Damn, since I can’t just go to the store and buy an AR-15 I guess I’ll just abandon my plans to kill as many children as possible.” - said no mentally-ill mass shooter ever

Wow, from confiscation to execution. You really jumped the shark. That's exactly why the founding fathers said the citizens need guns. Thanks for making literally everyone's point.

You should stick to grooming children for your pedophilia.
