Nope.

Just made me roll my eyes. Dems using fear/smoke signals to motivate their voters. Just seem to remember a lot of criticism about the GOP doing similar in 2016. Just makes me chuckle.

Wrong. This isn't based on fear. Weaponizing fear is about making people scared of what might happen.

There's a difference between using a fear of what might happen and a disgust of what is actually happening.

Illegal border crossing was actually happening. It was used to play on fear to motivate voters.... (often by making it seem way worse than it truly was)

Calling them rapists and murderers isnt just "saying border crossings are much worse than they are". It is promoting a fear of something else entirely based off of nothing other than a handful of cases and an underlying level of passive racism.

You've said that already. We get it.

You're latching onto this immigration thing. It's not the point or the topic. The point is that both sides motivate their voting bases using fear.

Of course this could never happen. A gun is an inanimate object, incapable of motion.

But if a person who shouldn't have a gun picks it up and decides to use it, then there's the problem.

Of course if the gun wasn't there in the first place - you know, because a background check determined that this person was not mentally capable of owning such a dangerous object - then the question is nonsense to begin with. Seriously, if this neighbor has a gun just sitting around on a table, it's dangerous to a lot of people. He's likely incapable of passing a background check or doesn't have the mental capacity to understand how dangerous this gun - lying out on the table - could be.
