Every time there is a shooting, gun sales increase. I feel threatened by that singular fact.

Truth = platitudes now? Alright. Enjoy your pessimistic world view... just keep voting I guess.

How does that make me dumb? The NRA is the single point of control for gun lobbyists to spread their propaganda/control. We have over 16 in America that fight against it... and the largest one of them received less than 1/3rd the donations in 2016 that the NRA received... most of the others received less than ten…

Well then you defeat yourself. We weren’t always a nation of guns. Gun manufacturer’s made it that way. We can unmake it. But it’ll only happen if everyone gets on board and fights... won’t happen if people like you give up before the fight is over.

Okay. I mean, I did say it was an element... and said its hard to parse the difference for many people.

I’d love to see people’s comments on things like this automatically show their voting record.

So... this is the non-marvel version of Black Widow? Okay... not going to see it. J.Law never really interested me as an actress and I have no desire to see a film just because she’s heading it.

on the scale of things? it aint bad.

Absolutely. I’ve had a LARGE number of greys (I’ve had 9 grey replies in my various comments over the past few hours, and normally I’ll get 0) ...

You do realize the arms in Chicago come from gunshows in Illinois and nearby states, not to mention from other state’s gunstores... and the black market which is full of AMERICAN MADE guns...

Fuck off. You say you are on our side and yet keep saying it can’t be done. No shit, with attitudes like yours. I’m so fucking sick of contrarian assholes like yourself and it looks like everyone else is too.

Don’t know where the rest of my comment went.

Yeah I know, but honestly? I grew bored with it after taking about 6 hours to kill the first dozen creatures. By the time I was leveling up and killing the first 5 monsters in a more timely fashion I grew disenchanted with the game. It lost my interest in that time.

I’m Australian, and I will be the first to point out Australia is just lucky to have nothing qualifying as MASS shootings, (they have had shootings, and they’ve had other attacks). I believe these laws wont stop such violence (especially in our country which has 10x the people and 100x the guns) but they will reduce…

Perhaps.

some of the formatting of this became unwieldy as i typed and numerous typos I thought fixed didn’t appear to be fixed because kinja and their weird edit limitations. =(

I agree, I would hope that these greedy self-involved assholes will see that to prevent exactly this from happening they need to be a part of the change... but I fear that’s unlikely and that uncertain and chaotic violence is the most likely future we face... because as a society we aren’t even united in our attempts…

While racism is a part of many social problems in America it’s entirely wrong to call gun control purely a racial concern. The truth of the matter is THAT is another narrative (with some truth to it) which actually reduces the effect of people fighting for gun control. You say that and a whole bunch of people who LOVE…

Different bunches of far left thinking. True, not the same crazy but the same type of crazy. AvClub too is fairly left. It is thanks to people who frequent those sites that we’ve got people pushing back against things like “social justice” though. Because everything becomes a matter of life or death there ...

Double flagged!!
