Something that I worry about is that it seems like almost every enjoyable/empowering thing is being considered harmful to the environment/society or is becoming difficult to afford:
Driving a car, eating meat, travel, owning a home, living in a popular location (e.g New York), owning a gun, etc.
Combine that with an increasing number of people who feel socially isolated and it seems like a recipe for unrest.
- aaomidi 7y agoHow is owning a gun bad for the environment? It's somewhat expensive but not that much compared to other stuff.
- madengr 7y agoThe parent probably means harmful to society, not that they or I would agree with that. Gun ownership is beneficial to freedom. I suppose some could complain about lead, but it is not soluble in water, and lead shot is rare these days.
- harimau777 7y agoSorry I edited to say environment/society. Not trying to comment on whether or not gun control is right, just that it seems like the people who say that they are bad for society don't seem to understand that it's one of the few empowering things in many people's lives.
- aaomidi 7y agoOh yeah I don't want to get into a gun control debate either. Even as someone who is pro gun I do agree with the society cost.
