I think the Kamala campaign should use this and say "it's such a shame that we are living in such fear that we can't have outdoor rallies without this extra protection. That's why I'll be pushing for gun control to make sure that shootings never happen again."

Yeah, I don't blame him for doing that either. I just think that's a perfect setup to talk about gun control without making it out to be an attack.

REAL Glass, CM! Oh wait. I am honestly surprised it took this long tbf for someone to take a shot at a candidate. People bring guns everywhere.

Honestly it sucks how many schools have metal detectors now and just things like that. I thought mass shootings were supposed to become rarer once they started happening.

Sorry I side tracked this and I don't want to see Trump in office again. But geez.

So after getting wounded by broken glass his response is to surround himself with more glass.

If this is bulletproof glass that Trump had anything to do with purchasing I wouldnt bet my life on it.

it is embarrassing if this should be "the standard"

no other developed country would even consider this for their politicians, it's not something you typically need in a free country with reasonable gun control policy.

Turns out that after he hollowed out the SS and staffed it with his cronies they actually kind of suck.

He has no choice. Many indoor arenas won't book him because he is known to not pay. Or they are making him pay in advanced. Plus it's easier to lie about crowd sizes. These is less likely to be proof that Harris gets bigger crowds at the same location.

So the bullet proof glass is a compromise.

What we really need is more guns to save us from gun violence. *sigh* I am not against gun ownership, but civilians should not be able to get automatic ones so easily.

I am not going to post much more. I actually kinda want to make jokes but there are too many different thoughts here and it's not the right place for me to joke here. So have it other ppl.....

I guess America ain't great yet.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I mean, if you literally wanted to do that, you could slash billions of dollars in useless military projects that serve only as socialistic welfare for specific red states and do a massive buy back while also restricting the sale and capacity of new weapons sold in the country. Of course to really be effective you'd also have to plan ahead of the immediate black market that would spring up as certain actors try to buy out current stocks before the changes go into effect.

At least, that's how most other countries in the world would go about it; though they might not have that easy bloated military budget to cut into for funding.

If each gun returned was an instant $1,000 you'd get them returned whenever people are strapped for cash. The US loves not having safety nets for people, insisting on asinine things like "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". If you're a gun nut with a large collection you probably buy a car or house for yourself if you wanted. People love money.

....plan ahead *sad chuckle* You can't get the jump on the black market/deep web. By just a simple gun buy back program at this point. Plus why am I laughing but it makes me think of that Simpsons episode where they did this and why do I think Krusty had more than he should.
