Wow. The mental gymnastics required to contort oneself into the position that student loan debt is more a primary driver of mass shootings in America than access to weapons.
People all over the world subsist on a few dollars a week. And you expect me to whip out the world's smallest violin for little Johnny who murdered 6 people and wounded 20 others because he had to take out a loan for college?
- jaywalk 4y agoAccess to weapons in the US is tighter than it ever has been. This stuff wasn't happening in the 50s-70s when mail-order catalogs sold rifles with zero background checks, and kids routinely brought them to school.
- hbn 4y agoWe're discussing why shootings are on the rise in America. The fact that they have guns has remained constant. Stop your bad faith arguing.
- chitowneats 4y agoThey are a precondition for what is happening. I'm not arguing it's a 1:1 ratio of guns to mass shootings. I'm also not arguing in bad faith. I could accuse you of communicating in bad faith for not mentioning any of the other countries on Earth. But I believe that would be counterproductive.
