      This whole thing has me thinking about the gun control episode of Bojack a lot.

      The moment rich white guys felt threatened (by women in that case) guns were completely outlawed, and I think this is the closest we’ll ever get to that in real life. If a few more CEOs are knocked off I could see it being discussed. If 10 or 20 more are killed I think we would actually see severe restrictions put in place.

        This is literally what Reagan did as governor of California when Black Panthers were arming themselves.

        2A is unassailable … until the wrong people decide to embrace it. Be one of those people.

          Yeah I was gonna say it’s already happened

          We had a story in my area about a dealer who wouldn’t sell to members of the local SRA or something like that recently too, guess he felt threatened by a bunch of queer brown folks
