Someone arguing for more anti-gun legislation said "gun owner [sic] is a thing you own* just like you can be" a bike rider or a TV owner, not inherent like "Race, religion, gender [sic] identity".
She then claimed that gun owners "are not oppressed".
Seems she poked holes in her own argument.
Because she's right.
Legislation targeting gun owners is like legislation targeting bike riders and TV owners. It is looking to punish (oppress) people for something they simply own. Not for something unethical they have done. Not on behalf of anyone they've harmed.
Punishing people for something they own is oppression. People have died at the hands of government agents who were enforcing anti-gun legislation. Not killed for harming anyone-- not for violating life, liberty, or property-- but for simply possessing something government doesn't like other people to have. You can't be more oppressed than that.
This was her argument after she tried without success to label me a racist and started grasping at straws
*(I don't believe she meant anyone can own gun owners; her writing was probably a little sloppy.)
