It isn't hypocrisy. I think it's a bandaid placed on a larger societal problem. I can't believe people would rather encourage an armed police presence in public spaces in the sake of freedom, rather than trying to seriously undergo a cultural shift in firearm possession and gun violence.

I haven't called for banning all guns. I don't think I'm stating anything extreme. Whatever we're doing right now obviously isn't enough, and we have to stop being so stubborn about that. Laws can change. Cultures can change.

She is allowed. My point is that democrats only take issue with guns in the wake of a tragedy like this and never take action to make a difference even when they have all their cows in a line to get something passed. I have yet to see a single proposal brought forth from dems on how they plan to change this issue. They just yell gun control without any idea of what they actually want to do. Do they want to remove all guns? Do they want to ban certain types of guns? I have no idea what dems actually mean when they say gun control because they don't even know.

I don't know if you're referring to specific legislators or constituents, because I've seen various proposals regarding firearm access reforms.

Copy-pasta from another user who made this list of potential reforms:
Voluntary buyback program
Mandatory buyback program
Mandatory waiting periods
Mandatory safety classes
Universal background checks
Prohibition of gun sales to the mentally ill
National gun registry
Assault weapons ban
High-capacity magazine ban
Closing of gun show loopholes
Requiring a specific reason to be provided as to why a person wants to buy a gun
Banning private ownership of ammunition and only granting certain gun-related businesses to own and stock up on ammunition (gross oversimplification, look up Switzerland's policy on it)

My solution, have at least two cops or armed security personnel on every school at all times when the school is open. Have only I'm open that a guard is present at. Every person who enters the building needs to be cleared for entry and has to pass through a metal detector.

Neato, when I think of having freedom in society I always pictured going through an increased security presence and clearances in my public institutions

How is that even reasonable?

Reminder that telling people with different opinions than you to "shut up" and insulting them instead of having a calm discussion with them is one of the reasons people voted for Trump.

Is that really one of the reasons? Really? That's a pretty shallow reason to support someone's policy agenda >_>

i think the cause being championed is for society's benefit.


So they are focusing on the bullying, ostrasizing and over medication of our youth?

They should be focused on all areas of concern. That's another problem, everyone wants to focus on or claim to have the catch-all solution to a multifaceted society. It is access to guns, it is mental health, it is the socialization of our youth, it is our culture around violence. We need to seriously confront these issues instead of slapping down bandaids or ignoring them.

American citizens are fucking tired of seeing other citizens getting shot for unnecessary reasons and in unnecessary volumes. This shouldn't even been seen as a partisan issue. Why isn't everyone frustrated that these events continue to be met with "thoughts and prayers" by our institutional leadership? Why are we settling for this type of status quo?

Secondly I just find it in bad taste to turn a tragedy to push a political agenda.

Why? That's the only way actual changes on an institutional level can be made. It is a policy issue, a cultural issue, a health and safety issue. When the fuck is the "right" time to address it?


Because using death as a tool to your benefit is despicable.

Gabby Giffords was a victim of a shooting. Why is she not allowed to advocate for stronger responses to a societal concern?

I wasn't talking about the students I'm talking about the adult liberals who do this cycle every time there's a school shooting. Grandstand on the graves of dead kids for a week then do nothing.

So you do want them to do something? Or are you upset that not enough people are trying to do something? I'm trying to place your concern trolling here.

Because the teeth could shift out of place again? Tooth alignment isn't permanent on its own. I haven't worn my top retainer so my overbite has grown over the years.

The ones glued to the back of your teeth? I've had one ever since I got my braces taken off...13 years ago? And the shit just snapped while I was eating potato chips!

It's still glued to my teeth, but I just tested out flossing and the thread now slips out from between the teeth immediately instead of hitting the wire barrier. Good thing I just purchased a dental insurance plan!

Also, Black Panther was great and I'm already hyped for the sequel. The commentary was not overbearing, and the messages were on point.

Do you think it would be appropriate for a 9 year old? My youngest has seen most of the other Marvel movies, language not really an issue and fighting not much an issue when they don't show a lot of blood or gore (like the walking dead t.v. show).

I was gonna say the language would be more concerning than not. I think it'd be great for her to watch, especially if you follow up with conversation about how she perceives the protagonist's and antagonist's perspectives.
