Pistol for a Mouth

(((I just gotta say it. And if you want a slightly more in-depth take then watch the vid. There will probably be more that actually cite more hard fact.)))
I did an EVER SOMETHING TO SAY episode touching on the subject of guns again. My disdain with an overly-vocal group of misinformed, shit-don’t-stink Australian citizens who think they know what they’re talking about is well-known. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but these opinions often come from the keyboards of those who know absolutely nothing about they countries they are comparing themselves to or the facts around the pew pews.
You know the type, they read a headline about a tragedy in the USA, usually in a gun free zone with a mentally ill person committing an act…and you scroll down to see the galaxy-brained Aussies chime in with their worthless commentary, hastily written between smelling their own farts and getting blind-drunk on the weekend in the only culture we seem to have.
It gets to me because of the ignorance. I enjoy different opinions, even the ones that are completely incredulous or illogical (it tells me your IQ and I know what I can trust you with in future.) The post and the episode was spawned by someone in my circle who caught me very, very off-guard with one of the dumbest takes I’d ever heard and it actually made me sad that I knew someone who
1. Was learned and experienced in life but could hold an opinion (not even a theoretical proposition) so ridiculous…
- Someone who frequently had disagreements with their own smaller circles, regarding politics and the recent handling of the Scamdemic, who generally had their head screwed on regarding other subjects; looks into facts, follows the money and keeps their ear to the ground. (ALL OF THE CLICHES!) thought that it was a viable option, even just theoretically.
- Had a pipe dream that was so Kumbaya, fairytale, utopia-like, it was beautiful in its naive stupidity.
- You’re nearing 40. Are you serious? You’re not even high right now.
Australian people are naive and stupid.
We just are.
It has a beauty in that fact though: imagine being so privileged and “safe,” so well-off, so secure that you have the room to dream this stupid Utopian fantasy. So…What was it?
They said they don’t think anyone, anywhere should have a firearm, and even law enforcement and armies shouldn’t “be allowed” to carry.
LOL
Who enforces that? Do we elect a body to govern that? Who polices it? How do the weapons get rounded up? How do you know you got them all? How will they enforce that if they aren’t allowed to have guns either.
Having being held up at gunpoint (something I discuss in the ESTS ep) in a gun-free country, I can tell you firsthand, that your pipedreams don’t work in reality. Only the criminals here have firearms and weapons, and bless you if you are so lucky that your echelon cannot be reached by these types, other than some sort of freak occurrence.
As I also say in the episode, Cain killed Abel with a rock – meaning evil people find ways to exact their will on people. Gun control only looks like it works in this country (to outsiders or even lucky people inside) because we are very sparsely populated, and the population as a whole is only 26 million people. In the entire country. There are states in the USA with that many people and to compare the two ventures into strawman arguments that most of us don’t have time for. You can do an internet search for news articles and see that the criminals here not only have firearms but that others will use bats, knives, syringes and more to threaten and injure.
Needless to say, the topic was so laughable, someone I generally respected and thought had their head on straight could not only come up with that (hey, I will entertain theoretical ideas) but to legitimately argue against three other people about it with (IMO) misplaced emotion…I just had to take to the internet to register my confusing and shock.
Again, something about it is lovely in its simple stupidity, very childlike and hopeful but an utter waste of my time. At least it was content.
