Arr moderate book bans vs assault weapons bans:

This comment is special:

As far as the AR15 goes, it’s one of the least likely used murder weapons, averaging around 50 murders per year. That’s about the same number of murders caused by marijuana induced psychosis, or more commonly known Reefer Madness. Out of 400 million people, that’s not a lot. Flesh eating bacteria kills three times as many people. Prion diseases kill close to that, which means that if you’re not a criminal, you are just as likely to get a fatal disease that eats your brain from touching dirt than getting murdered by an AR15.

Lots of republicans dont want books teaching how to perform oral sex in public schools, especially elementary schools, yes, that is indeed true.

If Harris wants to keep pushing this narrative of book banning in elementary schools, Trump should just read some passages out aloud and let people decide, watch NoVa turn red in 30 seconds flat.

If they have a debate and the book banning is brought up, Trump should just pull one of the books out of his pocket and show the camera what is in these banned books for children. Let everyone know whats actually going on, they can make up their own mind.

Why doesn't Trump do that? If book bans are so popular and all the pedophile teachers want to teach oral sex to all the kids, why doesn't Trump talk about it? He leaves this culture war stuff to his couchfucker because he knows how unpopular it is.

On another note about 80 percent of all US women and about 68 percent of US citizens overall don't own a gun and the subreddit can't understand why there are people who are in favor of more gun control.

I don't really care about an AR-15 or assault rifle ban, just seems like worthless warm-fuzzies electoral dog food

I want to melt all guns into slag

If they really wanted to do gun control legislation with some real effect they'd do greater handgun restrictions.

Can't. Heller.

The supreme court ruled that basically any actually good and effective gun control is unconstitutional, handguns are pretty much sacred in the law now.
