Showing Original Post only (View all)Let's ban the word "gun" from DU [View all]
Instead, let's mandate the use of "shit multipliers" because that's what many, many guns end up being.
Black kid walking through your gated community? Add a nitwit with a gun and things get horrific.
Drunk and pissed off at someone? Add a gun and it gets many times worse.
Sometimes forget to put things back in their place? Leave a gun around with kids and it gets many times worse.
Feeling depressed and at your wits' end? Add a gun and it gets many times worse.
That's why fewer guns = fewer gun deaths. Henceforth, let's refer to to guns in a way that reminds us of their true essence: shit multipliers.

More likely than not, those who would get behind such an idea would get far behind.
