None of those examples are remotely close to being in a dictatorship

Plenty of people who want proper regulation also own guns or have zero problem with ownership.


That may be true - but nearly all of the major voices on gun control are not in that camp.

Meanwhile, on the Politics board...

I genuinely don't understand what those posts are supposed to mean.

Someone is causing teenagers to carry out school shootings at certain places and times?

How would that even work?



The suggestion is now polling with a solid majority on this board, too.

My theory is that there are is an inordinate number of conspiracy theorists on the schizophrenic spectrum who lurk here and can find like-minded validation here that couldn't find it in real life and in the outside world.

The idea that major voices on gun control want total confiscation is pure propaganda

I was thinking the other day.. we haven’t had a school shooting/mass casualty event in a while to get gun control back in the headlines

New source saying 4 dead and up to 30 injured

Not that it makes it any more or less tragic, but it makes it hit closer to home...

The football coach that was killed, his wife was a former co-worker of my wife at a Gwinnett high school. Leaves behind his widow and two children, ages 4 and 2.

I still want to know why you always come to these threads, but when it happens in the hood you can't be found? I ask every time, I only ever get a "That's different" type answer.

"At worse we end up with hate speech codes and prison sentences for wrong speak on social media" is a pitch you can try I guess. Good luck.

how about actually doing something about what drives people to commit violence?

that actual problem

that seems like the right answer to me

I’m assuming since we haven’t heard the identity of the shooter yet, it can mean one of two things

Well, if Australia is one of your points of reference...

Regardless, EveryTown and Brady and Moms Demand HATE people like me and my family and what we believe in. I'm supposed to believe that their "reasonable gun laws" won't end up at confiscation because their website says so? Again, it's a massive credibility gap - we don't trust them/you and we have no reason to.

what do you propose?

You can't legislate a human not wanting to kill another human.

Western Europe is also jailing you for “misinformation” posted on X.

Don't get confused, bodies were still getting stacked during that time. They just weren't in the good, "civilized" part of town so no one cared.
