It’s almost as if the NRA works for gun makers and not gun owners.

JFC. I would’ve reported that to HR as threats/intimidation.

Focussing on mental illness is the conservative way of framing the argument on the outsider status of the shooter, so that we ignore other profiling attributes (white, male, entitled), motives (racism, misogyny, “burn the world” mentality), social ills that might have fed the illness (poverty), but most importantly

Registries, stronger background checks, and strict limits on guns and ammunition would restrict the amount of damage an unhinged ultra-conservative rich white male could do. If the US had stricter laws against stockpiling, and enforced those laws, then such men would be de facto criminals just for keeping weapons as

The US can’t address its gun-related violence problems just with stricter gun control, but that doesn’t mean that stricter gun control wouldn’t work to allievate some of the problems. Combined with anti-poverty and anti-bias (both for women and people of color) policies, stricter gun control would make a measurable

You are correct, gun control advocates were writing to the director, the cast, and the executives at Warner to come out publicly for gun control. It just wasn’t as publicised and nobody answered the call.

(Don’t get me wrong, I am glad she spoke out and I hope her views only become tougher over time. But given the context of the shooting — mass murder motivated by misogyny* — it’s just one more way that we place the burden of fixing our societal problems on women.)

Closure to all the gun show law loopholes, serious buyback program similar to Australia’s, gun safes mandatory, smart chips and trigger locks on guns...

Yes, this was a very guarded, politically neutral call for gun control, without ever using the actual words “gun control”. Background checks and access to mental health care are pretty much the two things Right and Left agree on when it comes to gun control.

I run in these circles, and gun control advocates were indeed pleading with Chris Nolan (and cast members) to talk openly about gun control after the shooting. The difference is that their pleas did not go viral then, and Nolan didn’t answer them. But yes I agree, there is sexism in the way that some have tried to

Weighing in to agree with the others here that even for children, the regular Kindle Fire 7 is much better than the kids’ version. Besides being a storage hog, the kids’ version doesn’t play nicely with certain public libraries’ e-book systems, so if you want your kids to read borrowed library ebooks on it, forget it.

There is no market for aborted baby organs because there are no aborted babies. A baby, by definition, has been born. Semantics!

Because why be morally outraged over actual living, breathing children when you can be morally outraged over dead foetuses?

So basically: marital

I know someone who lost a toddler to croup. Poor little one had just been released from hospital and it rebounded. Scary stuff. Glad you made it through.

Dumbass tax.
