Like you, I am devastated by the latest act of senseless violence committed by Thanos, brother of Eros and son of Eternals A’lars and Sui-San. And like you, I am mourning the loss of Bucky Barnes, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Star-Lord, Drax, Mantis, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Hank Pym, and Hope and Janet van Dyne, among so many others.

And as a staunch supporter of the constitutional right to snap your fingers and make half of the universe disappear, I look at a tragedy like this — wherein a very disturbed individual snapped his fingers and made half of the universe disappear — and I wonder… how does something like this happen?

In their own unique and unforgettable way, each storyteller examines our crisis of access to care in ways that are at turns haunting, heartbreaking, and outright funny.
And while our thoughts and prayers are with Thanos’ victims (half of the people we know and love), the truth is that a horrific incident like this just makes me more thankful to live in a country where the Constitution protects not just Thanos’ right to snap his fingers and make half of the universe disappear, but also your right to do it, and mine, too.

The Second Amendment is clear: the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Granted, when the Founding Fathers wrote that amendment, they understood an “arm” to be a musket, which, if you were a practiced expert, could fire (at best) maybe three or four rounds a minute. But don’t you think that they probably kind of also assumed “arms” would eventually mean that any American or intergalactic Titan, if he or she so chose, could if snap their fingers (which are attached to the arms) and instantly wipe out 50% of life on the planet? If you read — actually read — the Constitution, I think you definitely get this vibe that they saw this kind of situation coming.

Snap every dumbass traitorous conservative off the earth.

2. Yeah

if we could define which would vanish, I honestly wouldn't be opposed.

I don't know about the rest of the galaxy, but this world is way overcrowded. And there is no incentive to stop having more babies. Quite the opposite, in fact.
