    I love to talk to conservatives about this since i used to be a HUGE conservative and gun owner, till i got out of certain echo chambers and realized what was going on.

    I will gladly have a factual, calm conversation about why we need gun control now and why the GOP has left their base behind. But no one will even have this conversation because the instant they hear the words “gun control,” they get really defensive and the whole conversation is ruined.

    But thoughts and prayers…

      You can’t talk about gun control. You just have to do it. Talking about it is a political death sentence. Similar to trans issues on the left. It galvanizes more opposition than support despite being supported by the majority of people.

      It’s like handing free Red Bull to the NRA.
