  • Right on schedule I guess /s

    Someone posted a tweet that said that republicans are quick to blame Tylenol for autism, but can’t do the same when its about gun violence and guns.

    If America’s most volatile don’t have access to guns, then who will police the general public? Protect gun rights and our entitlement to mental health issues

    Okay, this looks bad, but… have you thought about gun makers? Their livelihood and family depends on selling guns. What will happen with little Timmy when Mr. Warmonger can’t bring bread to the table anymore?

    Those people died so the little Timmy Warmongers of the world could live! Think of the children, people!

      Sure, those headlines are rough, but let’s zoom in on the real tragedy: a tear running down the cheek of the CEO of Freedom Arms, Inc. His yachts might have to skip their annual polish! How will little Timmy tell his private school friends his dad can only afford a single pony this year? People, the economy is suffering! Think of the quarterly profits!

    About one mass shooting every 20 hours and 24 minutes. And this is before the USA starts fighting itself in earnest.

    i think usually the mass shootings definition excludes a lot of these, and usually means a more indiscriminate mass shooting… like a kid shooting random kids at a school….
    maybe the looser definition is more useful and we should have another term for the indiscriminate mass shootings….
    actually charlie kirk was shot while making a “point” about that….
    “oh well do you include gang violence?”.

    as if gang violence isn’t also an issue with gun control….

        “talking points” is a dumb way to end conversations… not everyone who considers different angles is an alt-right shill….
        but i do think we need a different term for people who just snap and shoot random people vs people who shoot back at people

    sure would be neat if communities had the sovereignty to decide whether or not to allow weapons

    you know instead of the system we have with the giant slave empire that ruins everything for everyone with nonsense laws and militarized cops
