I hate people who treat them like some toys and fantasize about them. That makes me think they are in some sort of death cult. That they found socially acceptable way to love violence.
I would still get one for safety but it is a tool made for specifically one thing. To pierce the skin and rip through the inner organs of a person.
They can serve a good purpose but they are fundamentally grim tools of pain and suffering. They shouldn’t be celebrated and glorified in their own right, that is sick. They can be used to preserve something precious but at a price to pay.
Internal gun violence is such an unbelievably miniscule part of the death toll of American society.
And yet one which could be far more easily mitigated than many others if the will were there.
“This doesn’t kill all that many people” is a weird argument. I assume you have no problem with asbestos being regulated despite the fact that it was also a minuscule part of the death toll of American society.
