I am mocking your stance.
Lol it clearly did when I said “I don’t care if you offer thoughts and prayers, but...”
You guys are the friend of the battered woman who keeps getting beat and you just offer your moral support after instead of offering her your couch to stay on to get away from the abuse. Nice sentiment and all, but at some point it just becomes laughably hollow as she keeps getting her arse beat and you keep patting yourself on the back for your thoughts and prayers while avoiding taking any concrete action to maybe stop the abuse.

Hey kid, the whole argument for gun-control has been laughably hollow for decades. Nothing but feel-good-do-nothing activism by those of poor education and poor critical thinking skills. Nobody gets mad at you, you get mad when your bullshite is called though.
right, and we’ve given your “thoughts and prayers” idea a good shot, but that’s not getting us anywhere either. I’m ready to get to the point where we actually celebrate these mass shootings as evidence of how fricking free we are as a society. Sorry about your dead kid, but did you see the FREEDOM that lunatic possessed when we knew he was crazy but we still let him purchase a semi-automatic rifle with huge magazine that let him mow down 26 first graders just as fast as he could pull that little trigger?
We should all get fully erect freedom boners every time a school or a movie theater gets shot up. Another ideation of American Exceptionalism

I almost look forward to the neckbeards who reee just because people express sympathy and mourn in a collective way that fits their own culture.

The percentage of legal gun owners who use their guns to murder, is very very low. Similarly, I'm thinking the percentage of people who legally consume alcohol and then drive drunk and kill someone is very low. Why is it that when a drunk driver kills people, we don't have skyscreamers demanding alcohol be made illegal or more restricted? Why, when offering thoughts and prayers to the parents of a child killed by a drunk driver they don't scream at you to keep your prayers and do something to get rid of alcohol? Why don't they demand background checks before people are allowed to buy alcohol--what if that person is a known alcoholic, should they be allowed to buy alcohol? (of course. I'm just using this as a comparison, not arguing for it) It's not the alcohol that kills, it's the person who uses it and chooses to get behind the wheel.

Serious question. What does "non-statist" mean with regard to your statement? I'm not that bright

they understand that. which is why they want things like registration, background checks, psych evals, competency tests, etc.
it has always worked this way -- we trade freedoms and rights for safety. states need to play a more active role in regulating firearms.. and the federal government needs to largely stay out of it.

Then why not the same background checks, psych evals, registration etc for the purchase of alcohol?

Because we chose to regulate the automobile side of the problem. Much like the gun control argument

How so? There are no background checks or psych evals when a person gets a license are there? If someone I know is a raging alcoholic and I call the police and say I'm afraid they might drive drunk and hurt somebody one day, will their license or car be taken away preemptively?

No.. but if cars were routinely being used for mass murder maybe we would.

Not a son, and plenty old. MADD campaigned against drunk driving by demanding lower blood alcohol levels and stiffer penalties didn't they? They didn't say "no alcohol". They didn't try to outlaw alcohol altogether or even certain types of alcohol, such as anything stronger than beer.
Posted on 11/10/18 at 6:52 pm to skeeter531
lower blood levels and stiffer penalties are appropriate measures for those found guilty of committing a crime by drinking and driving. The lower drinking age penalized people who hadn't done anything wrong. Legal age is 18. All rights and responsibilities should then be afforded to said 18 year old. Drinking, voting, gun purchase, enlisting and dying...

[quote]When a liberal media is telling people to stop Praying... Chris Mathews "It should be outlawed"/quote]
You post this isolated portion of a quote as an invitation so that all the baws can come on here and have a group lament.
Mathews full quote was "It should be outlawed, I know it may be well intended in some cases, but usually it's some throwaway line by some staffer..."
He wasn't making a negative comment about prayer. He was commenting on how frequently that phrase has to be, and has been used recently, and how it's overuse has diminished its value.
Save your histrionics for when they are actually warranted.

The Bible warned us of this.
Good shall be called evil and evil shall be called good.
We are there now
And men would be lovers of self. And men would lust after men and women would lust after women. He said that it would be like the days of Noah. We are headed to being Sodom and Gomorrah all over again. God hasn't changed His mind. He warned us then and now.
