Happy Independence Day, everyone! We've been featuring a lot of posts today from people who are finding America's 250th marked with "misgivings and malaise." David Hogg's old gun control group, March for Our Lives, decided to celebrate the holiday by blaming gun violence in America on laws going back to the founders.
Gun violence in America was not an accident. It was built through specific decisions, laws, and power structures, going back to the founding.

250 years later, we're still living with the consequences.
They do know that the Second Amendment wasn't adopted until 1791, right? We're not sure what "specific decisions, laws, and power structures" going back to the founding contributed to gun violence in 2026.
Thanks for making clear that gun control is anti-American

Do you ever stop whining?

It's the 4th of July. Take a break from bitching and for one time just enjoy this great nation for 5 minutes.
Is ignorance exhausting? Being a witness to yours is exhausting for the rest of us.

Just leave. Go to the UK where they have no guns and you definitely don’t need to worry about violence at all because of it.

You’re grifting scum abusing the memories of victims for profit and I hate you.
I say this with all due respect, which is zero:

The British tried to take our guns and it cost them very dearly.

Without gun violence 250 years ago, you wouldn't have a country where you were free to complain.

You are living and benefiting in a country built on the basic premise that every single being has a right to keep and bear arms, full stop. The founders used those arms to overthrow tyrannical regime and built a nation based on liberty.

You’ve lost this ideological war.
Colonists having easy access to guns allowed America to exist in the first place.

An unarmed people are merely defenseless subjects.

Get the fuck out of here then. Real Americans will take freedom over the tyranny you want us to live under.
