      Uh huh, so Cops going door to door to take the guns away from the 24% of Black and 15% of Latinos who own them. I’m sure that would go super well! Excellent suggestion! /s

        the suggestion is tongue-in-cheek in that i think it will specifically not go well for the cops

          It ain’t gonna go well for the folks at home either. Your “tongue-in-cheek” comment is a thin veneer over brutality, violence, and death on a massive scale. Literally tens of millions of people.

          It isn’t clever and it isn’t funny.

              America right now is somehow simultaneously the best its ever been and enormously fucked up. I’m in my 50s and the amount of positive change, particularly social, I’ve experienced in my lifetime is incredible.

              There are definitely problems that need solved, Gun Violence is one of them, but the story of America isn’t over. We’re in a period of turmoil right now but we’ll come out of it better than what we started. Just like we have before.
