It's not even clear any of these killers had mental illnesses diagnosable on the DSM.  But even assuming they did, potentially locking people up for seeking help for themselves or their loved ones wouldn't help anyone, and just prevent people from getting assistance for mental illness.

We need to deal with the guns.  It's the guns that are the outlier.  Every country in the world has mentally ill residents.

Given that power, a large chunk of society would only want to deploy it against anyone they suspect of unspecified gender stuff instead of what folks hope for here.

Let’s go after the body armor. Not protected by the 2nd Amendment, right? It would be a start and law enforcement should support the ban.

I agree. Start shooting them. Their stories will change real quick once they are in the cross hairs. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13049]

In certain countries in Africa, children are recruited as soldiers because they are expendable and easy to maintain. In America, children are treated essentially as NPCs in a real life video game so that the no restrictions whatsoever play soldiers can absolve themselves of any guilt over whether American children are expendable. As long as it was not their own child slaughtered, then they'll keep on 'playing.'

Then I would just continue to debate all day long on this topic and every day ask if we ready to do something and/or a minimum of being "man/women" enough to at a very minimum take a vote on it. And record said objections every since day and that would be every Dem Senators TV ad every night... Now on Day 72..73..74 and my opponent won't isn't even "man/women" enough to take a stand one way or the other.  If they are not going to vote we need someone who will.

If you think there arent people who will profit to an extreme extent off of this, then you are naive. Including those who are "going to try to stop it". This has never been about keeping our children safe, it's about making the most money and staying in power.

Not really. It's obviously mostly sarcastic. Mostly. But I think there is more than some truth there too. Politicians feel safe to spew their bullshit because it doesn't actually affect them. I'm fucking tired of it. If someone in this country has to have a gun to their head, as apparently is the case, it should be a group that fucking deserves it and not innocent kids. 

Anyway, if you need to edit or delete, go for it. I can't do it myself at this point.

I wouldn't say you're happy.  You're just not upset enough to act.  Again, Canada and Europe do NOT have anything near this level of gun violence.  But you and your ilk will go down fighting about muh rights etc.  So here's a hearty fuck you, pal.

Let's arm every school with a full time cop. Yeah, let's do that instead of just having mandatory background checks and up the age to 21. You can't buy beer until 21 because you might drink to much and use your car to go kill other people yet you can buy a gun at 18 and kill 19 children at a school.

Hey man if you’re old enough to be forced to be a mom at 12 you should be old enough to be able to buy a gun.

Do you unfailingly vote for the people who do exactly what I said: prevent, at every turn and at all costs, any action, from big to small, that might help prevent this from happening over and over and over and over and over and over? Then you WANT this outcome. Elections have consequences. There are 19 shattered, bloody, tiny consequences sprawled and soaking in their own blood on the floor in Uvalde as we speak. This is what you vote for. Own it. You don’t get to run away from it. Fucking ENOUGH. NONE OF YOU GET TO RUN AWAY FROM YOUR VOTES.

You vote for the party that runs on the great replacement theory, fueling mass murders in buffalo, El Paso, and Pittsburgh. You vote for the party that is owned by the NRA and opposes any and all regulation of firearms - fuck, we’ve made it EASIER to sling a gun in Texas, which give us shit like today.
Either your vote matters, or it doesn’t. You don’t get to run away from it anymore. Stop. Stop supporting people who help make shit like this and Buffalo happen. Please, stop. Please.

I am a staunch defender of Classical Liberalism.  Freedom of Speech, freedom of expression, freedom of religion but also freedom from religion, limited government, limiting the government from injecting itself into religious/social mores, etc.   I am a legal and responsible gun owner.   They are locked in a safe in my garage that is bolted to my floor, other than my pistol that is in a biometric safety in my bedroom.  I have been shooting since I was 7 years old.  I’ve had guns put in my face by a thief (once) and wannabe Billy badasses (twice).  There are absolutely people that shouldn’t own Guns.  There are absolutely people that should.  This shit makes me sick, as I have two daughters that are young and a wife that teaches elementary school.   So yeah, thinking I’m just a-ok about people being murdered is incorrect.   Fuck you for thinking that 

[wildcat09 28387]

I'm not going to say any specific DT posters actively root for school shootings, but I fucking 100% believe that guys like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley get fully erect whenever one happens. They're amoral vermin who love to use people's anguish to rally their own voters in opposition as just another way to own the libs. And the DT crowd and people like them all over the country still fucking vote for them. So it doesn't really matter that certain posters aren't actively rooting for school shootings, because they're actively enabling them with their votes.

[mdmost 42167]

But hey, the 2nd Amendment guarantees his right to have military-style weapons. I'm sure he was just days away from joining that well regulated militia. Slavery was the first great stain our forefathers placed on this country. The 2nd Amendment was the next one.

I'll be completely honest with all of you and I hate saying this. As a father of 2 teenage girls, my biggest fear isn't that they will become pregnant before they're ready. My biggest fear is they will die at the hands of an angry, young male. We absolutely have got to change how we raise boys in this country. We have got to stop letting their anger go with the stupid "boys will be boys" line.
