As for guns, they are nothing more than inanimate objects incapable of causing harm without input from an operator, I could list many everyday objects that also fit that description.
If someone means to do harm they'll find away whether guns are available or not.
Banning them doesn't get rid of them as they quite ubiquitous even where banned, and fairly simple to improvise.
You say you "think all guns should be banned" but you that's probably not true because I doubt you've ever actually thought about it you've just been conditioned to accept it as fact.
contradiction then isnt it, didn't matter if he took a gun or a spoon, fairly simply to improvise

The point I've made which your so keen to dance around but not touch is why he felt the need to take a specialised firearm to a "peaceful" protest. I never said a laser sight was " too much" I said it changes the nature of why the weapon is carried.
As for firearms in public I really couldn't care less, go fucking nuts, legalise stinger missles. I don't care.

What whataboutery is about is that it's about what something else is about.

The point you're contorting yourself to dodge is why take one to a (peaceful) protest?Geezer was half expecting a shoot-out when in the close vicinity of ICE agents. Thick as mince prat fucked about and found out, as they say.I think Bill Hick's may have spoken the defining words on matters such as this when he very eloquently said; "He's an idiot. He's dead. Good! We lost a moron? Fucking celebrate. There's one less moron in the World".

What you will find is Anon and the other libs on here can only post messages of criticism of Trump but have very little else to offer on any debate about anything. Probably because all the Libs have very little to offer by way of policy that make sense.
