Australia Enjoys Another Peaceful Day Under Oppressive Gun Control Regime

No, it is simply because the gun lobby is too powerful and merkins luv their guns yep yep yep. Nowhere else in the worlddoes this happen.

This.

And I'd argue that Sandy Hook was THE moment for something to happen to change things. A line in the sand that many many Americans happily walked across.

It goes to show you how DEEPLY insular and self-involved so much of the USA is at a personal level that they can only SEE their own country as mattering...and all the evidence of this shit NOT happening in every other country is some kind of fiction to them that simply not achievable in the US.

It is achievable, but the gun lobby is far too strong.

The NRA has its annual meeting this weekend, in Texas. Texas gov., Ted Cruz and Trump have scheduled speeches. Bloody hell, can this timeline be more fucked up? I wonder what will be some of the talking points? Arm more teachers (x) check.

The Trumpian right has been using trying to deflect by presenting essentially baseless speculation about the shooter as fact:

'Photos circulated on Twitter and other social media purporting that Ramos was both trans and an undocumented immigrant.

[...]

Multiple tweets, many of which have since been deleted, included photos claimed to be of Ramos wearing feminine clothing; these narratives were subsequently picked up by conspiracy media, including InfoWars and some politicians including Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), who later deleted the tweet.

[...]

"We know already fool. It's a transsexual leftist illegal alien named Salvatore Ramos. It's apparently your kind of trash."

[...]
However, it was quickly revealed that none of the photos were either of Ramos or verifiable as him.

[...] said one of the pictures attributed to Ramos was actually of themselves, stating: "it's not me, I don't even live in texas."

[...]

"Illegal Immigrant" Claims

[...] This speculation may be derived from Uvalde's location, which is less than 70 miles from the Mexican border.

[...] Ramos had moved to Uvalde from North Dakota'

I know nothing about the man, nor the NBA or basically most of what or how America doesn't work, but what he says has to resonate around the country, surely, everyone needs to be screaming at their representative for this, its a simple fucking background check.

Most of these are the same people who went batshit about masks and Covid.

My freedom to do whatever the fuck I want is far more important than your life. Unless you are a fetus. Then that fetus is far more important than everything else, but you get my point.

FREEDOM!

Here's Beto O'Rourke trying to make a point about the incident and out comes the old American/Republican stand-by "Don't make this a political issue!"...it would be funny if it wasn't intensely sad and horrible.

There’s tons of gun laws none of them seem to work well?

https://www.kens5.co...l/273-548565605

Still wondering if they will release if these are related^ too bad we can’t know for sure. I wonder if this will be investigated.. would like to know what society in that area is doing to make these types. Remember this kid was made this way…

In other news sounds like society let this kid run around he was teased relentlessly for wearing makeup/ having a lisp. No dad, mom lost custody to grandma due to drugs..His best friend stopped being friends cause he talked about killing people non stop. He drove around shooting people with a BB gun. He self mutilated his face by cutting at it with a knife. More than once ? He threatened people. He threated girls.

Sounds like the local society created a reaver to me.

(I’m a little surprised he could afford two Daniel defenses. $$$$)

Sure.

Of course they don't, aren't they deliberately designed, by the opposition and years of steady gutting, to be unenforceable?

Laws can't work if the people who implement them and those who has to enforce them don't want to.

it's a sick culture!

Re Nicos post about the shooter.

society can create any amount of these people, just don't let them gets guns.
He talked about shooting people and he was able to buy a gun?
Dude, yo' guns laws be broken

That’s what always bothers me we continue to churn these kids out , we know a lot of the causes , but can’t lift a finger to get them help! It’s really hard to do.. we sadly don’t talk about it enough either. Like if comes out same kid from 2018. Wow

One of my founding arguments is it’s impossible to control. /scale …which is why it’s impossible to remove now too. Once you wrap your head around that you HAVE to seek out better solutions. Of course once safely occurs at a macro level people would voluntarily do.. but I guess that’s a /utopian thought

America will send billions (50.. soon to be 100 billion) to Ukraine in weapons as aid to protect itself, but won’t for schools in a country with 400 million + guns. Probably 500 as that’s based off NICs hypothetical calculations. Limit the entrances and have guard. It’s ludicrous.

I have it!

Go lift all the AR15s and send them to Ukraine.

Cut the bullshit Nico, if that wackadoodle hadn't been able to pick up a gun from Costco he wouldn't have been able to shoot people.

This is a simple equation, bad people can't buy guns, means bad people can't use guns.

I'm not saying go lift them all off the streets, I mean, they should, I'm saying make them fucking hard to buy.
Stop obfuscating and accept the fact that there are easy solutions to dangerous people buying guns with no checks or control. We have a gun, for pest control, my dad has to have a license for it, it required a background check with references for character.
