I have come to this position for a simple reason...despite many people trying to reach out and work with "responsible" gun owners, nothing has been done to reduce the plague of gun violence in the United States. The simple truth is that far more people die by guns in the US than in any otherindustrialized country.
We have the same mental health problems, we have the same media and video games, we have the same disgruntled youth...so why do we have so many more gun deaths? Simple, we have so many more guns.
Studies have shown a very clear relationship between the number of guns and the number of gun deaths. This is clear both internationally…
and nationally in terms of gun deaths in US states…
Given these facts, there is only one obvious course of action that can reduce the number of US gun fatalities...reduce the number of guns in the US.
So, I'm not gonna fuck around with "responsible" gun owners anymore. I am going to fight for a massive reduction in the number of guns in the US. I recognize that this isn't going to happen tomorrow. This will likely take decades, as gun laws are slowly enacted, as the supreme court justices get replaced by those who will reverse Heller and otherwise return to a sane reading of the 2nd amendment. We will then have a buyback of all weapons no longer legal. Then we will institute mandatory 5 year jail time for possession of an illegal weapon. Over several decades, the numbers will come down.
But this is my promise, today is the high water mark for "Gun Rights" in the US. You "responsible" gun owners are NEVER going have it any better than you have it today. I don't know how, and I don't know when...but I'm gonna to take your precious guns...cause at this point I'm fucking done working with people who find the daily gun slaughter in the US an acceptable loss for 2nd amendment rights.
I will give "responsible" gun owners only one out. If you, "responsible" gun owners, can get the rate of death by guns down to the level of Switzerland (Which is the 2nd worst in gun deaths, so I am not asking much here.), I will stop trying take your guns. Its on you now. I'm not gonna work for you or with you. If you want to keep your guns, its on you to figure out how to end the slaughter of men, women and children in this country.
I'm done. I’m coming for your guns, and many, many others are coming too.
