#armedforoverkill — Public Fediverse posts

In related good news: The U.S. government, on behalf of the people & their wish to be protected from rampant gun violence involving not only weapons of war, won a court injunction preventing a gun company from selling "forced-reset triggers" that can turn semiautomatic assault rifles into weapons, that can fire faster than M-16 assault rifle (700-900 rounds/minute).

Well done, Biden administration 👏👏👏!
Weapons of war don't belong into civilians' hands! Nor do tools, that prepare semiautomatic guns to be used in real mass killings with dozens of dead fellow-humans in no time.

High time to find solutions to end the scourge of gun violence. High time to act.
In everyone's interest. For everyone's life. To save lives.

" I used to own an AR-15.

And I'm here to tell you that Second Amendment mythologies and revisionist history continue to result in needless firearm-related deaths, suffering and trauma. If law-abiding gun owners do not start publicly speaking up, we cannot expect to find solutions to our nation's unacceptable levels of gun-related violence.
...
The work of perfecting our Union has always been accompanied by struggle. We are now a nation held hostage by trauma entrepreneurs who wield and brandish firearms as weapons of holy war. Believe it or not, the vast majority of my fellow firearm owners will broadly agree that these reforms are necessary. I speak to them now: Like all of us, you have the right to remain silent; but now it is time to consider your duty to lead the change you wish to see."
