@chanesteiner Given population explosion I don't see an alternative and "self-governance" does not work for nation-states of 300+ million.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emlynaddison We can't sacrifice our liberty under any circumstances. Limited government would work.

@emlynaddison Ignoring the disturbing amount of mental health issues & instead focusing on inanimate objects is incomprehensible to me.

@chanesteiner Said "inanimate objects" empower said mentally disturbed with the means to take others' lives. Why is that incomprehensible?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emlynaddison Because the mentally disturbed will find other inanimate objects. Their disturbance is the problem, not the objects.

@emlynaddison "If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns." Same reason the war on drugs failed. Their legality matters not.
