‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
Fuck you, JD Vance.
Hey there's a leader right here! We got problem and plan is let's just accept it. Top people!
/s
hes not wrong.
the 2nd amendment tax ( you know the one where people get to pretend human killing devices make them safer) requires dead children.
the price for your perceived safety in owning human killing devices is lots and lots of dead humans, especially children. but at least you feel safe, right?
You mean the 2nd Amendment that doesn't literally say what the Supreme Court ruled it said in the 60s and 70s?
Damn, sure is a well regulated militia.
yes, the amendment thats been bastardized to allow everyone to aggregate human killing devices
just like the commerce clause is used to beat states into submission instead of, ya know, managing commercial interests.
US is the only country where owning guns is legal 🤡
He's right, but they don't have to be! We can protect our children and fellow citizens with popular, common-sense gun reform and legislation supported by the majority of people across all political spectrums. We don't have to bend over for the NRA (which has been proven to be funded by hostile foreign powers) and extremists. All it takes is courage and action...
Callous and weird. What a terrible combo.
JD's "Facts of life" such as: man shall not lay with man, but may be attracted to a couch.
Elites ran country into the ground but can't figure out why peasants are lashing out and why we have all these social consequences.
Never admit failiture, blame the intern 🤡
To those saying "he's right"...
He's complacent. He's a useless troll. He thinks nothing should change because he's effectively saying "it is what it is", which is the same bullshit response I see from every single conservative who continues to simply say "thoughts and prayers" after an event like this. There are many ways to try to help prevent such a tragedy, and blanket statement of it being a "fact of life" does literally nothing.
And every day, it keeps happening. And every day, the media keeps shining a spotlight on it. And every day, nothing gets done.
@ulkesh I would just add that he is supporting the NRA (their lobbying might be one reason for this 'opinion'), but I fully agree with what you've said.
@tardigrada Unfortunately I think he's right. If nothing changed after Sandy Hook, nothing will ever change. If some psychopatch rolling into an elementary school and killing 30 people, 20 of whom were only 6-7 years old didn't galvanize this country, this topic is settled in my opinion.
Everybody talked a good game for a while about the tragedy but we've got politicians elected who think the whole thing was fake.
I predict nothing more than thoughts and prayers for this one as well.
@tardigrada Their solution will be to turn the schools into fortresses, which the pretty much already are, and this still continues to happen. And it won't address workplace and public mass shootings.
The problem is a comprehensive mental health crisis, and readily available killing machines.
Have a look at what is required to amend the constitution and see why I am saying we're stuck where we are now on the topic of gun control.
@tardigrada Don't mistake any of this for me saying "we shouldn't try", of course we should. This needs to be a topic of conversation always, maybe the needle will slowly move.
But as long as you've got a large portion of the country in love with stockpiling firearms and ammunition, and a mental health crisis to go with it, this will continue to happen and politicians will continue to wring their hands.
You’re talking about people who love their guns more than children, so I don’t know how there’s any reasoning with that mentality.
Man, it's terrible when politicians shrug at this issue. More should be done to stop senseless violence
He's right.
They are.
It sucks, but he's right.
