Interesting exchange I had in Twitter:
I used the word “nationalize” on purpose as it is associated directly with communism and Third World dictators. The gentleman not only did not seem to mind but was fine with the notion. I did notice his “selection” to what we know as “Things We Don’t :Like” A.K.A. loophole.
So this guys is having a problem with the Second Amendment and he does not mind throwing the Fourth under the bus if he can do something “good.”
Never forget that people like this also vote. We cannot afford to remains in the sidelines.
I’m all for the govt withdrawing military contracts. Gun makers have more than enough business in the private market, and that sounds like a great way to get guns out of the hands of government and into the hands of the people. Take that statists.
It’s probably because he had no idea what ‘nationalize’ means.
A good counter argument would to be nationalize the auto industry – cars kill more people than guns.

They already did that.
I wonder sometimes if they realize how blind and optimistic they sound. Often times I find myself wondering if they’d kill for the sake of life. My god people can be ignorant sometimes.
