God I'm so sick of this take.
We're not anti second amendment we're anti idiots with guns.
If you can't pass a background check or a psychological evaluation you shouldn't own a gun.
"bUt CrImInAlS-" shut the fuck up. Yeah criminals will still get guns but it'll be a lot fucking harder for them to obtain them.
Meaning now the state gets to dictate who gets to have weapons, making violent revolution impossible.
The police are full of right wingers. What makes you think they won't simply label all left-wingers as mentally ill, deny you access to weapons and then kill you all?
This is gonna be a bitter pill for you to swallow, but protecting people's basic human rights is more important than lowering gun deaths. And you refuse to accept that at your own peril.
An idiot with a gun isn't going to help with any of that.
They will rather make it worse.
Stop allowing crazy people access to offensive weapons.
