Well one thing they're experts at is making crimes become other behavior that isn't a crime, to pad their stats
Also we will never have the submissive, neurotic, and hive brain of eastern Asian cultures. It's beyond silly to pretend this is an option.
Agreed. Which proves my point that the issue is the behavior in our society and not the weapon. Someone who is intent on murdering others won’t be prevented due to lack of access to a gun.

So are you going to claim that their statistics are lies? Or what's the angle you're going for here?

No one is throwing up their hands. We are advocating for governmental policies that will actually work instead of bullshite based on feelings.
You want to curb gun violence? Start electing local leaders that will crush violent criminals and allocate resources to law enforcement.
It’s not a coincidence that violence is spiraling out of control in liberal metro areas since 2020.

Do you really think that without guns we would still be averaging 2 instances of mass killings every single day in this country?
Even if "mass killings" dropped due to removing guns, do you realize that violent crime would increase? It did in every country that has outlawed guns. Rape went up drastically in Australia. The UK got so crazy they outlawed pointy objects because guess what... criminals were/are still committing crimes and when they know the general public can't shoot them they feel even more emboldened.
If you really want to stop gun violence then take to the streets in Chicago, St Louis, NOLA, etc and start trying to help those gang members that keep committing "mass shootings" because the 32 you are reporting on are mostly done by them every weekend. School shootings really are an outlier if you take all of the gun violence in low-income shitholes into account.
Also, most gun crime is domestic. Do you think if you take guns away that domestic killings would stop?

Glad to have you on the right page.

Also, the VAST majority of gun-related homicides are from handguns, not "military grade weapons".
There is a laundry list of funny items that kill more people annually than rifles.

It's the progressive way. Reactive instead of proactive and take the quickest shortcut they can that doesn't do anything to solve the actual problem other than make them feel good because now they have more control over the general public.

The policies the anti-gun posters want to implement.

it's way past time for the right wing to grow the frick and take even the smallest amount of responsibility for these rights that you jack off to every night.
So because your fellow voters have no impulse control and commit a vast majority of the gun violence in this country, you point your finger at your enemy. Classic.
YOU need mental help too. Badly.

Maybe if you take a moment to quit diddling kids in your churches every sunday and grooming children to marry at 12 then you might actually have a second to care about their lives
Yeah, your projection here is off the charts. You need mental help before you turn into one of these mass shooters. Your rhetoric and hatred is off the charts.

Maybe instead of debating the same old “gun regulation” debate, we should be putting some effort into discussing how a tragedy involving black youth is treated differently than a mass shooting with a white person?
The media is either neglecting this story due to progressive nannying to protect the reputation of the black community or they’re literally racist and don’t care about black tragedies.
Maybe both.
Imagine a white male teen showed up at a party in the suburbs and shot 30 people? It would be front page news for a week. I mean some crazy dude goes postal on a bank, and his face was on CNN and Fox News for days.
And for those saying, “oh it’s just gang violence,” that makes it WORSE. We have a community of young people growing up in an environment where tribalism and violence are normative practices leading to the destruction of lives, the death of children, and it’s a blip on the news.

I found that part weird too. Because after all, I have 30 round magazines, sights, flashlight, gangster grip, and other things that make the weapon more relevant for shooting in urban environments versus hunting Bambi 300 yards away just minding her business eating grass
Well, I can't shoot her with a 30-06, because that's "military grade" too. And "sights?" Sights are miltary grade? I don't know what a "gangster grip" is, but you do you.

The post i was replying to implied that , becuase there are more guns than people in the USA (which is true)- that we shouldn’t do a gotdam thing to reign in the numbers of guns, or the access to guns.. that is a “feeling”, baw.. Like, the feeling that “it’s too hard”.. or a feeling of resignation to do anything about the actual guns themselves.. im not saying guns are the entire problem, mental health is huge too- but sometimes things are hard, and require hard work and planning- and to say we shouldn’t bother doing anyhting about the actual gun component of the equation is just shortsighted and lazy .
