Oh, and to follow up on that previous post, it's also rather strange to me how all these stupid fucking assholes who don't think there's any point to gun control laws "because criminals don't obey laws anyway, duh," tend to be the very same goddamn hypocrite assholes who want draconian immigration laws out the wazoo in order to stop the "illegals."
I mean, obviously, immigration laws clearly aren't stopping people from trying to cross the border "illegally," so... ...I guess what that means is that we might as well stop trying to fix immigration laws, yeah? Might as well get rid of all the immigration laws, since they don't work, eh? It's the exact same argument, right?
Just to reiterate one more time: these people who profusely salivate at the idea of Trump putting brown children in fucking concentration camps because those children and their parents ostensibly "broke the law" are a circle in a Venn diagram placed directly on top of the other, nearly identical circle of people who scoff at gun laws because "criminals don't obey laws anyway, so what is the point."
(Anyone who wants to steal this Venn diagram, or recreate this Venn diagram to make it not look so shitty, feel free to do so. I don't care.)
The difference, of course, is that gun laws would directly affect them and their ability to rub their guns against their genitals or whatever asinine reasons exist for which they "need" guns, whereas immigration laws only adversely affect the Other™ people, people whom they hate for no good reason.
(Was going to copy/paste this here from Facebook, but Facebook gave me that "Oops something went wrong" goddamned horseshit when I tried to post it there, because fuck Facebook, so here, Dreamwidth gets to have this first, for a change.)
