Oh come on. You do realize that a gun is much more effective, much more deadly than most “other means” and suicide is often an impulse act. This whole “Gee, he would have found another way,” is one of the most bullshit arguments of all. If that’s the case, why do we bother with ANY security? Why do we try to keep guns…

And that reply reinforces that perhaps they aren’t the most friendly/empathetic type. Not someone I need a kid ‘learning’ from.

<i> What are the chances of your child being killed by a gun during a playdate, and how does that compare to the likelihood of other playdate </I>

Uh this is specious reasoning. The risk of my children getting killed by a gun on a play date is independent of other risks, such as whether they might get hit by a car, or by choking, or by an earthquake. A responsible person tries to limit all risks with reasonable precautions. A blanket ban on letting my children…

My teen stepson was at the house of his 10 day girlfriend and her step dad came out with a hand gun and pointed it at his head as a “joke” like they do on TV.

That is not true. Limiting access to guns will affect those who have a short-term down turn by removing a method with a high perceived level of certainty and short planning stage, much like limiting access to lethal drugs does.

They overestimate how much women care about the dick.

What is it about some guys and their dicks? I don't send this much time thinking about my breasts or uterus.

It really does show something about this guy that he immediately thought of his penis when he read the name of the column.

Weak, insecure men will be the death of us all.

Republican party to Trump: “please remove your gaping maw from our dog whistle. You’re getting spittle on it."

The idea that successfully holding down a job and making rent entitles you to complete freedom from perceiving the unhappiness of others is so breathtakingly narcissistic.

For real. My jaw dropped reading that line. What a fucking clueless douche of the highest degree.

“I shouldn’t have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of homeless people to and from my way to work every day.”

That’s an excellent point, and in fact one I had forgotten because people keep throwing around the term (myself included)!

Why don’t any of these morons know that a “lame duck” president is a sitting president after the next president is elected? So from November to January of their last term. The entire last year of the last term does not make a president a “lame duck”!

Cruz argues that it would be a disservice to the American people to allow a lame duck president appoint Scalia’s replacement, drawing on that nonexistent lame duck clause to which Warren refers in her post
