  • you say the lions share of murders are committed by drug gangs, but that’s ignoring the majority of gun injuries are self inflicted.

    And while it was written into the constitution it was amended into the constitution, and like the 21st which repealed the 18th, could be amended out again.

    you also say there are 5x defensive Gun owners. This is a made up statistic - there is no formal definition of a defensive gun owner, there is no way to shoot a gun defensively.

    While it may take time - a few generations - maybe even a dozen generations - to disarm the majority of households, it’s possible.

    who are you disarming

    the majority of gun owners own guns for fun/sport. So while, yes, it is sad to ruin fun, it’s also sad to have children killed.

    Finally, you don’t have to ban all guns, you could keep say, bolt action rifles and single barrel shotguns - where sports and hunting could still continue. This wouldn’t solve all the problems but it might have saved lives multiplicatively in mass shootings.






  • This is twitter advice, but I assume it works.

    I had about 10k followers and about 100 likes per tweet in my heyday - but had pretty much left about a year before elon took over, and fully left when he did.

    It was a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun.

    • Post actually engaging content for your niche on a regular schedule, preferably more often than twice a day
    • you can maybe stretch to two niches on an account but likely you just want one
    • engage primarily with people in that niche
    • get to know them, build an online friendship
    • get into group dms or chats with multiple people in the same niche
    • nepotistically retweet each others stuff, publically respond favorably to it
    • unless you have a really interesting life, keep your real life out of it and focus on your niche
    • expect this process to be a committed 12 month process - so that’s at least 1000 posts, all should be high quality enough to warrant engagement.
