Can’t hurt their profit margins, of course they would say that.

What is the intention of designing something capable of firing a projectile at high velocity?

Seriously, this argument is so stupid. Let me try.

Im a manufacturer that cuts wood at a specific size with the intention to use it as a door. It can and usually is used as a door, but doesn’t have to be.

It is a weapon. That is the intention of the tool.

A spade has the purpose of digging, just as the gun has the purpose of killing.

I’m not arguing about the proportion of guns that kill things or not.

I’m merely stating that the purpose of a gun, is to kill. Otherwise, they wouldn’t.

Target practice, is practicing to kill.

I’m not American, I don’t need to abide by your bullshit constitution.

The manufacturer is making a tool with the intention of killing.

You have a point. But you are skipping a road of reasoning here.

What could possibly be more important than you? What could supercede your will to life?

Surely the only thing that existentially matters to you, is you. Right?

I do believe it’s your choice. But I also believe that the choice is wrong. There are countless numbers of other paths to try that could instill an essence in you.

Try moving to a city. Try moving to another country. Try learning an instrument. Try a new language. Try finding a new partner. Try a new sport. Try finding new friends. Try hiking. Try a different job, or no job. Try a new book. I could go on.

Try anything and everything that could prevent you from coming to a permanent end.

Everytime I see suicide statistics like these. I don’t think of the deaths. I think of the misery each individual must have experienced in order to come to the conclusion that death was better.

Then I think about the nebulous political cloud surrounding these people and those who may have approached the conclusion but had the strength to carry on. I say nebulous because research is never going to encapsulate the reasons for one to kill oneself. If 50k in the US is the number who followed through, the numbers must be huge. I say this, because the suicide death statistic, is only the start of the problem - it’s a scale.

Misery festers at all of us. Labels, drugs and conversation can help, but it’s just burying the problem for it to resurface later. Until we start getting political movements towards human needs, this will continue.

I find it frustrating when people who are wrong, won’t change their minds.

I don’t expect people who are devoid of reasoning to get behind anyone except themselves. Someone, I’m not invested in at all.

With that being said, do you think it’s more reasonable to:

Actually blockaid during a protest and get arrested, preventing future activism?

Get media to spread an important message about some injustice, potentially gathering support for similar causes?

Which one would be more effective, and why?
