The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. - Thomas Jefferson
@chanesteiner (Actually, we can give up liberties: instead of giving up children's lives, we could give up, say, guns. But I digress...)

@emlynaddison Ignoring the disturbing amount of mental health issues & instead focusing on inanimate objects is incomprehensible to me.
-
@chanesteiner (Also, let's be clear: it's not just criminals & mentally disturbed individuals who kill with guns. They're the minority.) -
@emlynaddison Guns are taken from people right before horrible atrocities like genocide are committed. Complete government control.
-
@chanesteiner Ours is "a government for, by, and of the people". If we are the government, why are we paranoid of it? Guns guarantee NOTHING -
@emlynaddison We used to be. We are not anymore. It's an illusion that we actually have a choice in the matter. Campaigns cost millions.
-
@chanesteiner This is irrelevant re paranoia and guns. If THE PEOPLE don't like it, they should stop complaining and RUN FOR OFFICE. -
@emlynaddison I'm sorry, but that's just silly. To run for office, you have to raise millions from corporations. Impossible for most.
-
@chanesteiner So because elections cost millions we should buy guns? - 6 more replies
