So as usual, more guns. Brilliant, decades of school shootings and your solution is to throw more guns at the problem.
Honestly if you like guns, you should really hope you don't get what you're asking for. Because once the inevitable happens and it becomes clear that more guns isn't helping there's only one direction that can go - gun control.
- benburleson 3y agoBut haven’t we been there for years…and nothing is changing? Or at least not in the direction you’re suggesting. Seems obvious to me as well: we tried normalizing gun culture and this is what we got. Maybe we should try something else?
- smcl 3y agoWhat I mean is that at a certain point they can't keep up the "if only X could have had a gun" line, because at that point they will have had a gun and the conclusion that guns aren't helping will be unavoidable.
- willcipriano 3y agoThe left will never have the votes to pass a constitutional amendment and the supreme court is no longer full of activists, good luck. How about you all first try to enforce the existing laws around prohibited persons owning firearms, like Hunter Biden.
- smcl 3y agoIf school shootings continue and there are no options, it's not "the left" you'll have to worry about. It's everyone. You needn't wish me good luck. I live in a country where guns are already legal, available and even relatively widespread but controlled. We don't have these shootings. edit: ahhh you came back and edited in a little Hunter Biden joke! I have some bad news for you, "the left" doesn't like Joe or Hunter Biden. They'll tolerate Joe as an alternative to a Trump or DeSantis, and they'll probably concede that Hunter is probably less irritating than the Trump boys. If you want to take a swing at a leftie you need to target someone they actually like - Bernie Sanders or someone like that. If Hunter Biden has broken some firearms law, throw the book at him.
- willcipriano 3y agoI actually live in America. Never going to happen. Edit: its not a joke, most mass shooters (they play games with that definition, if you look at just shootings where 2 or more are injured or killed) were already prohibited from owning firearms under the law. Yet the justice department seems to have little appetite to enforce those laws.
- smcl 3y agoThoughts and prayers then!
- pstuart 3y agoThe supreme court is very much an activist court. You just happen to like what they're doing. And then you bring Hunter Biden into the chat ffs.
