They also tend to believe they can wish reality to be what they want - and then rant because it isn't reality.
The topic is whether the AR15 is the most lethal means easily available to someone determined to commit mass murder. It is a topic they refuse to even discuss. Rather, they pretend that if the AR15 is banned, then all violent mental health issues and all terrorism magically vanishes.
That is the plan. To pretend that other than the AR15 and prior to the AR15 and similar firearms, there has never been and never will be a mass murder terror attack. There has never been a bombing, never been mass murder arson, never a poisoning and no planes ever flew into any building, the Texas tower shooting didn't happen none of that. In fact, their view is that the guns create all violent, murderous actions and all violent psychosis of any and all kind. Then rant and demand upon that.
As I stated, there is no possibility to even have a discussion when the other side absolutely denies real events that actually happened. As Joe Biden explained, the Democratic Party will no longer tolerate "facts," they will only accept their own declared "truths."
He hit the mindset of many to most Democratic progressives square on the head, for which at the core is corporate fascist propaganda they are told by the rich and powerful.
Across all of human history the rich and powerful want peasants disarmed and totally vulnerable, while they live behind walls with their private little armies protecting them. In this way, they turn peasants into beggars of the rich and powerful - which is EXACTLY what the Democratic Party is all about now - begging for medical care, college education, food, housing, to pay their bills - begging the super rich and powerful to do this for them.
Prior to common people having firearms for defense in Europe, the homicide rate was 10,000% higher. Prior to common people having firearms, there were no human rights, no civil rights, and not individual rights. All ordinary people were slaves or serfs who worked every day from sun rise to sunset - starting as soon they were old enough to stand. Any misconduct - or just for the hell of it - any of them could be beaten, raped, tortured and/or murdered. All the castles had dungeons and all the torture devices of all kinds in museums are real - not reproductions - tens of thousands of such devices of unthinkable levels of horror and pain. THIS is level of power over everyone the Democratic Party demands the rich and powerful have.
