Talking about it is fine. Voting is better. But ridiculous hyperbole and claiming law abiding gun owners are supporting terrorism when incidents like this just feeds the bullshit narrative of the far-right.
Voting is better.
I'm not sure we need to label it terrorism. We can call it what it is. I call it terrorism but lets pretend its not for a second.
If the NRA lobbies for the blocking of gun laws, and the NRA is supported by gun manufacturers for the express purpose of ensuring said gun manufacturers keep good business. Does giving gun manufacturers business mean you are supporting the NRA?
No? Why doesnt it? Because you obey the law and have the right to own a gun? Having the right to own a gun doesn't exempt a person form being responsible for what they do just because there is no law against it.
It's like buying a diamond ring for your SO. That rock could have a horrible history behind it in Africa. But because we are law abiding diamond ring owners and Africa is all the way over there. We shouldn't feel responsible. There's is nothing that can be done. We need to have diamond rings.
We are law abiding smart phone users, that are not at all directly responsible for any deplorable working conditions in china for the phones that are made so that we can afford them. We need to have smart phones.
I don't see the hyperbole. we cant pretend we aren't int he cogwork of causality. Everyone is responsible for something somewhere somehow there doesnt have to be a law agaisnt it for it to be true.
If you give money to the people that make guns and they give money to the NRA. You give money to the NRA, and as much as you tell yourself you don't, you do. But there's no law against it. So, what matters is if you are ok with that or not.
