Agreed. Absence of suitable parenting is the main cause of most of society's issues. So when a good parent sees their 5 year old running around with scissors, the reasonable way of handling the situation is to stop the behavior immediately, teach them the proper way to handle scissors including educating them on the dangers of misusing the scissors, removing the scissors and returning the scissors to a suitable location. If the child once again grabs the scissors and is caught misusing the scissors by, say, cutting a hole in the new leather couch, would it then not be wise to put the scissors in a place where they can't retrieved by the child? I would argue good parents can foresee a potential issue and takes measures to prevent it from happening (storing things like scissors in a place the 5 year old can't access). So while we both agree that poor or absent parenting is what typically leads to problems in society, why isn't it then reasonable to limit or remove access to assault rifles?
This is all correct. I don’t think there’s any limit of deaths that will sway enough Republicans in gerrymandered districts to pass any meaningful legislation. I think 50,000 Americans could get shot and killed every day and nothing would change.
I have to think two things:
1/ if white kids were being shot to death at the same rate as black kids, the white moms in this country would revolt and pass gun control
2/ if black kids were regularly shooting up white schools...or even if black guys were parading their AR-15s through white neighborhoods...then we'd have gun control pretty quickly.
Steve Scalise was shot and still doesn’t want any kind of laws restricting guns. I don’t think they can envision doing anything differently.
How can democrats blame the tool and ignore the mental health issues among this generation?
This generation has an absurd number of people that lack empathy and are extreme narcissists that frequently evolve into full blown psychopaths. Yet the Leftist cheer and encourage this mental illness.
This. I think the class got a little ahead of themselves in the reading when they discovered the shooter was trans.
Says the guy who gets an erection every time there's a school shooting.
Terrible parenting causes crime. Not guns.
Guns are a symptom not the problem.
Guns are the medium that make if MUCH easier to kill more people is a relatively short period of time. Someone could commit mass murder with peanut butter at a daycare but a couple ARs make if much easier.
Lack of responsible gun laws make guns easier to access.
Failing Mental health and the lack of mental health care also contribute greatly to the problem.
I was maybe 10 minutes away on a routine dental appointment as the news unfolded on this. On another forum, a guy's wife works at that school. He said the school does a lot of active shooter training. As you can see in the video, the shooter shot through a locked door and then kicked in the glass to enter. What's stunning to me is how the shooter is so casual walking through the school.
Chilling video, and also interesting to see how it’s not easy to just find hordes of kids to fire at, so at least the tactical plans for active shooter defense are working as expected.
You can't tell if someone is crazy in most circumstances. But obviously if a transgender arrives in your gun store to buy a firearm, they are clearly insane. ALL OF THEM.
You should be able to reserve the right to refuse service. Transgenderism should not be a civil right. It should mean confinement to a mental hospital or jail.
As a matter of fact if a transgender comes into any business establishment seeking anything, the owner should be obligated to call 911 to have the trans ill person taken into custody. If not, there should be steep fines for not reporting them.
Anything less than what I say, and we will continue down this road of p.c. insanity and it will get worse. Your kids will be taken from you, and have their genitals cut off.
MNPD Officers Rex Engelbert, a 4-year veteran, and Michael Collazo, a 9-year veteran, were part of a team of first responders to the Covenant campus Mon morning. They fired on the active shooter, who was killed. This is their body camera footage. https://t.co/17qsZM6bNppic.twitter.com/g4b0nMTFRD

Why wouldn't we? they are a menace. You think I'm gonna back off? no. They SHOULD be villainized and also everyone who lobbied for this movement to become policy.
The Republican party shill for the gun manufacturers and the gun lobby while kids are dying. It's disgusting.
If you want to mock republicans then mock them for endorsing Jenner for governor of Ca.
He's clearly insane because he thinks hes a girl, and he should have any firearm he owns stripped from him immediately.
The stupid Republicans went from the natural reaction to trans insanity by opposing it at first, and have now caved in -- as they always do-- to the point of "the case for conservative trans governors" and "why drag queen kids are blessings of liberty".
The republican party stinks because they are not right wing ENOUGH.

As Muslims, we share the pain of our traditional Christian brothers and sisters. We don't know what kind of Jew you are if you don't feel sorrow for the killing of Christian kids. You are not just showing no sympathy, but you are simply laughing. May God punish the Zionists. pic.twitter.com/9FSDxxUJiG

Celebrating that you align/receiving support from a group that is denying females access to education simply because they are female is not the victory you think it is.

This is a terrible post. You obviously hate white people and have a problem with them. What is your nationality again? Just stop, your posts are divisive and pompous. Is that really how you want to live your life?

pompous, I'll give you.
But that post is 100% factually correct, to the best of my understanding of this country.
It's a riff on an old sad joke...that if Dems really wanted gun control they'd hand out AR-15s to poor young black men and have them march armed through white suburbs. That would get the job done better and faster than 25 years of work in Congress would.

Nope, more like libs are so vile that even backwards, regressive groups like the Taliban feel the need to call them out.
