      Guns are useful for a fearful populace, to give them the illusion of some kind of control.

          Cops love the illusion of control. That’s the job description

            If cops only have the illusion of control then I still want whatever cops have.

      There are hardly any restrictions on them nothing is stopping you. Don’t use that as an excuse when we see mass shootings on TV almost every week. It’s only poor people that die from gun violence usually

        Yeah, if they’re talking about restrictive laws when it comes to gun ownership, there’s no chance they have to deal with UnitedHealth.
