103 million guns and gun crime is at one of its lowest rates in decades. Maybe the amount of guns isn't the problem?

Also, guns are tools. You don't take a pistol to go turkey hunting. You don't a .30-06 to go rabbit hunting. Each gun has a purpose. It's only logical to have more than one gun if you have multiple uses for one.

am not advocating for banning social media for those under 18, but how is that “the government should be telling kids what they can or cannot say”?



He can’t tell you. But he can tell you that he’s all for banning people from voting, drinking, driving, smoking, and owning guns based on their age.

Holy shite what? The legal age to purchase rifles and shotguns is 18... 21 for pistols


Purchase =/= use

Kids under 18 most certainly are allowed to use guns... but the poster to whom I was replying said kids under 18 should not be allowed to use social media

amen.

you can give a kid every resource available with the best teachers, but if their parents don't force them to get up and go to school every day, you still have poor outcomes.

Agreed you could take a student with great parents at home, stick them in a shitty school, and they will still excel in life.

Take a student with shitty parents at home and put them in a great school and they will perform about the same as they would in a bad school.

bruh, i said there is "rot" in society... it's just that you think it's a new phenomena, but realistically it's ALWAYS been there....

Banning guns

i never said ban guns.... i said make them HARDER TO ATTAIN... any gun you want would still be available, just with certain restrictions for certain types of weapons...

Right? Just answer the ducking question pussy.

How are you okay with banning guns, smoking, voting, driving. Drinking, joining the military, etc based on age. But al of a sudden are against banning social media because of age?

He's a Muslim who professed allegiance to ISIS during the killings.

I think there is a reasonable chance he was gay, although Poli Board flips the frick out about that because they think it takes away from the Muslim narrative. That he previously targeted Disney may or may not cut against that theory.

Unstable Muslim guy repressing homosexuality and swinging all the way to the opposite extreme (ISIS) and deciding to kill gays doesn't strike me as farfetched at all.

The rot in society and lack of god blah blah blah is all bullshite because if you look violent crime as a whole is down compared to the past

So if it was a societal rot and God those numbers would be up as well


It is the unique specific case of school shootings that needs to be looked at

If you hear a sound at your front door in the middle of the night, are you grabbing your chef's knife or your gun?

For student shooters, school is their life, so much so that they're willing to become a murderer because they hate it for whatever reason.

The classical education model doesn't work in America anymore.
