Pretty sure guns changed a lot. Kids aren’t shooting up their schools with muskets.

It’s truly stunning. That you genuinely think that attempting to fix something as complex as a person’s state of mind is an easier/better path than fixing something logistical in nature.

can’t kill 58 and injure hundreds and hundres of people in 10 minutes with a knife or a group of friends, dude

Oh, fuck off. You can’t crawl inside people’s heads and fix them as a matter of policy. You can ensure that those people don’t have access to a device that allows them to deal instant death from their fingertips.

Why not both?

Because the people who shout ‘not muh guns!1!one!’ are often times the same people who insist that free/low-cost (mental) health insurance is an entitlement only afforded to those who have bootstraps from which to pull themselves up by?

As a gun owner, I’m for moderate gun control. The baseline should be to control guns like we do cars—licenses that require renewal and mandatory insurance. I think this would solve a significant amount of mass shootings.

To be effective it would have to be British style. And to get rid of the millions of “legacy” guns and their ammo, we’d have to use extensive data mining (to find out who owns them) coupled with mandatory turn-ins and house to house searches in the case of non-compliance.

Just a few not perfect ideas:

The idea that this epidemic can’t be controlled with sensible, stricter gun laws (i.e., like actually enforcing background checks, like banning any…

What gun controls would you like to see in place?

The NRAs plan to increase the frequency of mass shootings so that we can never talk about it seems to be working.

Good god what a fucking moron

Gun control. Let’s try that.

Anyone else stuck in this weird spot where you’re generally happy/hopeful about the direction your own life specifically is headed, but the state of the world and the direction its heading constantly drags you down, so you want to just completely ignore and shut out the news, but you feel an obligation to keep…

Better an Office reunion than seeing Krasinski in more Michael Bay propaganda pieces.

Action Hero John Krasinski really needs to go away. I’d believe Action Hero Pam Beesly or Super Assassin Meredith Palmer more.

I’m in the grays, so I don’t know if anyone will see this, but I’ll type it out anyway.

you have to wonder if this ignorance is plain willful.
