You don't have a point of view you just have talking points.
The kids are scared. I get that. I have a 19yo. But this will not really solve the problem of school shooters. Take Cruz for example. So many people who knew that Cruz could do this failed to stop him when they had plenty of chances to. You have to find the root cause and guns are not it. Kids are not growing up "normally" as in the past. Many of them are not maturing until their twenties. There are many causes but nobody seems to be interested. Just ban guns! Kids are dying from committing suicide from being bullied on social media, drinking, taking drugs, etc. Why is there so much Gender dysphoria with the kids these days?
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...-agency-investigate-nikolas-cruz-2016-n849221Lynda Cruz, his adoptive mother who died from pneumonia in November 2017, told mental health investigators in 2016 that her son suffered from ADHD, depression and autism but insisted he received his necessary medication as prescribed, according to the report.
How about him having ADHD, depression and autism and was obviously on some type of psychotropic Drugs. Do you think that had anything to do with his actions?
Zero difference. The Nazi’s thought anything opposed to their regime was suffering opportunity opinions.
I think that absolutely has something to do with his actions. We give out these drugs willy nilly but they’re powerful and turned kids into a bunch of drug riddled nutcases. Giving kids speed because someone says they have ADHD is nuts.
To your other point that they will always find some way to circumvent, I mean yeah maybe. But I think there’s those that wouldn’t go that extra mile either or that they wake up the next morning (still gun free) with a cooler head.
I don’t know what the answer is and with the mass school shootings I don’t think there is an answer, but knee jerk nor feel good reactions (rocks in the classrooms) are dumb, stoke fear, have little to no effect, and infringe on rights unnecessarily. So any gun control should be well thought out and effective. Only way to know if it is would be to study it.
... And for the older folks here, did you know kids with these disorders when you were growing up?

But see that's why we need MORE guns. The only thing that can save us from gun violence is more guns!!! If the little boy that was playing video games with his sister had a gun, his sister wouldn't have shot him with a gun!!Look at the odds, shall we? Those evil "assault" black guns thingies, sooooooooo dangerous, they are everywhereeeeeeeeee, must save the childreennnnnnnnnnnnn -

- Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons.
Many factors must be considered when deciding where and how to store guns. A person's particular situation will be a major part of the consideration. Dozens of gun storage devices, as well as locking devices that attach directly to the gun, are available. However, mechanical locking devices, like the mechanical safeties built into guns, can fail and should not be used as a substitute for safe gun handling and the observance of all gun safety rules.
And yet five or six spaces further down is foreign born terrorists. Apparently brown is the colour that makes righties piss in their pants.Look at the odds, shall we? Those evil "assault" black guns thingies, sooooooooo dangerous, they are everywhereeeeeeeeee, must save the childreennnnnnnnnnnnn -

But not like the admin is taking any extraordinary steps against them amiright?

Ah yes, the classic SlowSpyder Defense: pretend that every other cause of death in the known universe is more important than guns, and act as if no one is doing anything to combat the other problems.
Scientists worldwide have spent decades (arguably centuries) researching solutions to cancers and diseases. Meanwhile, the NRA pays politicians to ensure the CDC is banned from conducting research into gun violence. Companies are developing self-driving cars that could dramatically reduce vehicle fatalities; meanwhile, the NRA whines if you so much as hint about mandating gun safety tech. There are strict controls around cigarettes and drugs; the NRA throws a hissy fit if you so much as suggest that maybe teens shouldn't be allowed to buy lethal weapons.
And then there's the nature of those deaths. There's a huge difference between health-related deaths and killing someone. When someone eats an artery-clogging meal, they don't take out the 17 people around them. It's hard to avoid dying due to disease or cancer, because that's the very nature of existence... but death by gun is entirely avoidable and often hostile.
Are you insane?
We spend massive resources trying to prevent all of those causes of death.
It's not like we have to choose fighting one or the other.
I was not being serious, just wanted to dramatized a bit, I edit and put the /s tag at the end.
Nice backpedal, Shimano.
Being a moronic piece of shit is what he excels at. lol.
I am more into "let deal with the huge problems first before worrying about the little ones...maybe down the road".
A few posters said it already in this thread, why not doing something (such as studying the causes and so on) before knee jerk reaction.
You'd have a better argument if Trump and the Republicans weren't gutting science programs and health care. You want to tackle health and vehicle safety issues? You still have to vote Democrat.
And besides, you do know that governments can multitask, right? That they don't have to drop everything to pass intelligent gun control laws? For that matter, it's ridiculous to suggest that we should do nothing less than cure cancer before we're 'allowed' to pass a semi-auto rifle ban.
So what?They got massive support from the left /progressives, not a little.
By back programs, more restrictions on sales, closing of gun show loopholes, and more restrictive permitting and training for access to certain types of guns...something along the lines of what we do with vehicles.How do you propose to remove guns out of the equation? Ban and confiscate all guns?
This rally only had 200,000 people according to multiple estimates.All the conservatives complaining about protesting kids, oh the horror. Just admit it the right sucks at rallys. In fact they suck at everything except running up the debt.
But sadly I think you all are suffering from rally size envy, RSE.
Mother of all rallies 1k
Women's march 500,000
March for Science 200,000
Kids against chetos march 800,00
You realize they are all citing the same source right?It cracks me up that so many people have to lie about the numbers to make them look impressive.
