Progressive Politics

While I don’t fully disagree with your points, it should be noted that the “where are the 2a people?” comments are all targeted at the conservatives who get in a huge fuss whenever a school shooting starts gun ban talks but who have been largely silent every single time their own party does absurd, objective, obviously tyrannical things. People were out in the street during covid, fully armed, complaining that they weren’t allowed to go to Denny’s anymore but sit back and continue support the second coming of the Nazi party.

There’s a lot more to it than whatever you’ve got going on and I would hope, especially given a couple of your first few good points, that you’d understand that.

Also the short barreled gun thing has to do with concealment, obviously. While I have no doubt that the reasons have good racist undertones, because the US is just that kinda place, you can’t seriously be saying that the lack of range of a sawed-off shotgun makes it fundamentally and universally less dangerous. A pistol is “less effective” than a sniper rifle but I can get plenty close to you with one before you even realize there’s about to be a big fuckin’ problem.

You talk a big game about other people having their heads up their asses but you may need to check the location of your own when you next get the chance.

Concealment. A sawed off shotgun can be concealed under a suit, making it easy to commit robberies and assassinate. The bugger issue were Thompson sub-machine guns, which were short, fully automatic, and used by people that didn’t care for civilian casualties all that much.

Worth noting that less accurate ≠ less dangerous

I'll grant that less powerful does though
