@sambowieshin @Dionysus444, Do you objectively look at those individuals and conclude they are of perfectly sound mind and body and that their behavior is not that of someone who should be under the care of a mental health professional? Is this the type of behavior we are supposed to normalize, accept and enable?
Are you kidding? These two have argued for weeks now that drag shows for little kids are good things. They lost the plot long ago.
 
Sure there is. We can build more prisons for killers; we can put the National Guard in the worst neighborhoods where the vast majority of those numbers come from; we can shut down the border and greatly reduce the drug flow; we can ramp up police presence.

We could even speak out against the violent culture that’s celebrated in music and entertainment.

But somehow we never do these things. Because these are things opposed by Democrats.
I completely agree with you about prisons, the border and speaking out.
The problem with your plan is it does nothing to address mental health issues or keep weapons of war out of the hands of unstable people.
Until we do that....this problem will never go away. Most of these shooters don't go to prison anyway because they are suicidal.
 
4000 kids a year die from gunshot wounds....

That would be false, because that stat includes 18/19 year olds. It is still horrible, but don't mislabel the facts to support your stance. It also doesn't break down the deaths associated with crimes, suicides, accidents, etc.

It's a problem no matter how you slice it.

Our mental health issues can’t be treated. They are caused by dysfunctional homes, social media, and straight up confusion. When you teach kids that there’s no moral center or authority, you are CREATING mental health problems.

Fix the source, not the symptom.
 
I see libs organized a protest at the capital tomorrow and urging kids to go. School systems saying any kid that wants to go won't be counted absent.

1) insurrection!

2) no way it's the same if they want to protest abortion. Any child who isn't excused in the future for protesting should sue. In fact any child should sue if they dont go but not allowed to miss for any other voluntary reason.
 
I'm not even saying to ban all AR15s. But the background check and licensing process you go thru to get one should be CIA level. You should be at least 21. You should have 0 evidence of mental health issues. You should have to produce at least 10 references. You should be required to do a safety course. You should be required to have it stored in a gun safe. If anyone living in the home has mental health issues related to violent tendencies ALL weapons should be required to be removed from the home.
There are things we can do as a society to make this country safer to live in than it is.
Sadly.... We just don't value our children enough in this country to do it. The fact young people keep killing children and nothing is done about it explains why they feel the way they do. They aren't valued and they know it.

Doesn’t look like an AR15 to me. Maybe a Kel-Tec 9mm rifle.

So we wave a magic wand and make all the scary ARs disappear somehow. This incident still would’ve occurred. Now what? Just trying to gauge the lefts next step.

 
That’s your opinion, I don’t think you’re right.
Do you want to live in a Country where your leader is selected for you, where voting is just a pastime to make the citizens feel like they’re electing them? Because that’s what you’re suggesting.

Desantis is a fraud, I’ve been telling you this for 3 years, he will do as he’s told, abd he will most definitely lose if he’s the nominee, abd the Dems won’t even have to cheat.
Curious, who besides DT isn't a fraud IYO? Do they have a snowball's chance in 2024?
 
So because violence happens primarily where about 80 percent of Americans live.... It is not your problem?? Do you not realize that without America's large urban cities your podunk town would have less than nothing to live on?
Cities are the engines that drive state income, innovation, trade, medical services, and agriculture usage.
The main reason for the high crime is high gun usage and murder rates from them.
Any time dems try to do something about guns the NRA and Republicans go berzerk.
I will fully admit that some Dems are way too soft on crime (not me) but that combined by the ease of gun access is what is destroying lives and our way of life in America.
It's a real problem when you can't send your kid to school without worrying about them having their head blown off by a nut with an AR15.

You are truly an idiot.

You.do realize, without rural farming, the gleaming urban centers you.worship in this post would all starve to death in about 3 weeks, correct?

I'll speculate that Ukraine flag is on the back of the door.
Well designed set for the desired effect of the photo. 👍
 
The whole point of my argument is that while the US is by far the most heavily armed, wouldn't one expect us to be far and away at the top of that chart in terms of violent crime per 100K. We are at 4.9 per. There are 76 countries ahead of us on that list. Many of which have very strict gun control laws.

My conclusion is that If not for the several cities in the US where violent crime is rampant compared to the rest of the country, that we would be far and away one of the safest and far better than we are already as a whole. People in most areas tend to be deterred, knowing their prey might have the means to fight back and end their life.
Which of those 76 are anything but sh!thole countries?

Quite a few aren't. Are you seriously going to tell me that the Bahamas is a "shithole country"? St. Kitts and Nevis? The US Virgin Islands (not a country, but made the list regardless). Etc, etc. How about the Seychelles, what a shithole! I note for for the record that the Ukraine was one of the 76, and will refrain from further comment.
 
I personally think that “transitioning” should not be allowed until at least 21, even though the brain is not fully developed until approx 25. By then people will be able to make rationale decision if they want to transition.

0.3% of people over 50 identify as Trans
1.3% of those between 30 and 50 identify as Trans
5% of those under 30 identify as Trans

Yeah, nothing to see here.
 
More than half of transgender male teens who participated in the survey reported attempting suicide in their lifetime, while 29.9 percent of transgender female teens said they attempted suicide. Among non-binary youth, 41.8 percent of respondents stated that they had attempted suicide at some point in their lives.

Not important 🤦‍♂️

So among our resident leftist posters, dion, insane as he is, at least seems intelligent, but, again, insane.

Sambowie is merely an idiot.

Plat/Sammy is as well.

RQ/fuzz is beneath contempt, as a welcher.

But lemmings and sheep, they all have that in common, as they accuse sensible people of being in a 'cult'.

Truly fascinating, the thought process of a leftist.
