violence-n-guns

But I think this film is not anti-gun, it’s anti-gun violence.”
—Katie Couric, a few months ago, talk­ing about her documentary

I pret­ty much have no opin­ion on gun con­trol, okay. 

I’ve nev­er had a gun, I don’t want a gun, I don’t even take self-de­fense class­es or car­ry mace or any of those things a cis­woman is “sup­posed” to do for her safe­ty. Ob­vi­ous­ly, Amer­i­ca is WAY too lax on their gun poli­cies, but that is as deep as I get.

But let’s not pre­tend a gun has any pur­pose oth­er than violence.

Whether you use your gun to shoot a teacher that flunked you, shoot some­one try­ing to rape you, or shoot an an­i­mal, it’s vi­o­lence. We just have cul­tur­al rules around who can be a vic­tim of vi­o­lence, and in those rules, an­i­mals and crim­i­nals (es­pe­cial­ly those com­ing for you) cannot.

Ba­si­cal­ly it was just the dumb­est clar­i­fi­ca­tion I ever heard in my life. That’s all.
