Ehhhh, I wouldn’t be for making death a prerequisite. That’s just ending life for no good reason. Of course senseless death happens all the time, but normalizing and requiring it is a hell of a choice…
Eh… That’s still a bad idea, especially in a society like the US, where guns are very normalized not for killing in many places. Requiring death as an entry fee would just be normalizing their use for killing. It wouldn’t teach any sensible person something they don’t already know except now killing is expected and normalized for gun owners…
Why desensitize a population to something that they should be sensitive about? Just like we should never require working at an abattoir in order to eat meat, we should never require killing to own a gun. It’ll only backfire and make society more accepting of something you don’t want.
Oh trust me, humans can get A LOT worse than now. If you think we’re desensitized to violence, just wait until the real civil war kicks off. The Republicans will make you pine for the days where school shootings were the most deplorable form of daily violence…
Just look at Israel, gleefully murdering children just trying to grab fucking food. You call yourself a cynic, but you’ve no idea the depths of depravity within humanity.
It is. It really should be a prerequisite for gun ownership: you have to kill something.
That is a threshold I can’t personally cross, so I don’t think I should own a gun (and I dont).

That’s the point. A gun’s purpose is to kill.
And I was thinking of the victim being an animal that needs to be euthanized or something.

Cynically, I think this has already happened. That horse has bolted.
Which is your say, I do agree with your argument, I just think it’s already too late to argue it.
