how did abortions get banned faster than assault rifles
they should have been able to play a game in peace. this is all so senseless
My friend Ellis made another one of these
I designed this poster to use at my local March For Our Lives event, but I’m uploading it in case anyone else wants to print it out and use it.
Feel free!
i absolutely support march for our lives but please recongize how racism comes into play. the media never supported BLM like this, the public never did, and sure as hell not everyone marching today did. if you’re out there preaching for keeping kids safe from guns, u better not be forgetting all the black kids who have lost their lives to them from police.
So we can ban kinder eggs because kids died but not assult rifles? Okay…
always reblog
A student who survived the Florida school massacre condemns anyone talking about “thoughts and prayers” at this point: “We’re children. You guys are the adults. You need to take some action and play a role.”
Wtf America, it’s only mid Feb!
School shootings are too fucking common GUN CONTROL
how many more kids need to die for people to realize gun control is the solution
Today marks the 26th anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre, in Montreal, Canada. A cowardly, misogynic act which left 14 promising women dead, simply because they were women:
Twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a Mini-14 rifle and a hunting knife, shot 28 people, killing 14 women, before committing suicide. He began his attack by entering a classroom at the university, where he separated the male and female students. After claiming that he was “fighting feminism” and calling the women “a bunch of feminists,” he shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He then moved through corridors, the cafeteria, and another classroom, specifically targeting women to shoot. Overall, he killed fourteen women and injured ten other women and four men in just under 20 minutes before turning the gun on himself.[1][2] His suicide note claimed political motives and blamed feminists for ruining his life. The note included a list of 19 Quebec women whom Lépine considered to be feminists and apparently wished to kill.[3]
After this despicable act, Canada adopted gun control measures. Since gun control measures were adopted there has not been another mass shooting killing more than 10 people in Canada. Since École Polytechnique there has only been 9 massacres in Canada; 9 in 26 years.
Please remember these women.

Identity Crisis by Michael Murphy at Truth To Power Pop-Up Art Event
hey america here’s a wild fucking concept……. gun control
tbh America is passing bullshits laws just to be passing bullshit laws at this point
One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others the hiv bill actually makes a lot of sense, given recent research showing the effectiveness of current treatments in eliminating the possibility of transmission. non-disclosure shouldn’t be a felony (and deliberately infecting someone, which im gonna go out on a limb and say doesnt happen ever), would very likely still be a crime even if nondisclosure itself isnt
to repair the metaphor it’ll need to be “cars invented specifically to kill people”
they’re called tanks and they’re…frowned upon
BEEP BEEP IT’S A HOBBY
i mean…not all guns are designed to kill people. some are designed to kill animals. like, ya know. for food.
I’M JUST A HUMBLE SETTLER TRYNA PUT A FOX ON THE TABLE FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS
EXCEPT THAT ARGUMENT IS BULLSHIT
CARS ARE FUCKING REGULATED TO HELL AND BACK
THEY HAVE TO HAVE SEAT BELTS
YOU HAVE TO /WEAR/ THE SEAT BELTS
YOU HAVE TO TRAIN FOR A YEAR IN HOW TO USE ONE
YOU HAVE TO PASS A TEST TO PROVE YOU KNOW HOW TO USE ONE
IF YOU FUCK UP AND USE IT IRRESPONSIBLY, THERE ARE FINES AND YOUR LICENSE CAN BE REVOKED
THIS WHOLE FUCKING ARGUMENT IS BULLSHIT
Also, there are MORE DANGEROUS vehicles and those are EVEN MORE regulated!
You can’t drive your race car on the roads! You have to trailer them to and from race tracks
Cars DID KILL A FUCK TON OF PEOPLE, and honestly still do, so you know what we did?
We created a whole fucking government agency to regulate them (see: Department of Motor Vehicles), We created laws to govern their responsible use (it hasn’t ENDED ALL misuse but it sure as fuck decreased the commonality of accidents/deaths) We have police ESPECIALLY DEDICATED to patrolling and keeping an eye on people who use cars to make sure they’re using them correctly!
So no, maybe we didn’t outright BAN cars, BUT WE TOOK A RESPONSIBLE FUCKING STEP AND CREATED REGULATIONS AND LAWS AND STUDIED CAUSES OF MOTOR VEHICLE DEATHS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Excellent discourse but that beep beep tank image is fucking killing me XD
