THE Gun Thread

[Brian37]

 This is half assed olive branch dodging. We have the highest volume of firearm deaths among our wealthy nation ally peers. Why? Because a small minority of fucking assholes are holding our nation hostage. There is a "right" in this argument and fuck you for claiming it is point  view ..... PTSD is a very real thing and not simply an "idea". Turning our society into a shooting gallery has a very negative effect on health, and mental health especially. That isn't a "point of view". 

"I am not sure violence will be diminished as a whole." <----- Siri gibberish translator " Other bad things happen so lets not do anything at all."

I agree, violence in general will not go down with your bullshit attitude. With the money we spend cleaning up after every one of these events, could be spent on conflict resolution skills and critical thinking skills being taught in public schools, that could certainly help reduce violence of all kinds. Not making firearms like candy could help. Not handing firearms out like candy could help. Lots of things we could be doing but cant because a fucked up selfish few.

WOW!  I am being respectful, but you have you go all the way to "FUCK YOU".  And you want to reduce violence in society?

If someone has a gun to your head, and tells you not do move lest they shoot, you may have the right, and the ability, but no real choice was my point.  IE, the one with the gun has the power to allow you to have whatever rights you think you have.

Who do you think is to blame for 99% of the gun violence in this country?  People like me?  (USA)

I never said anything about PTSD not being a real thing, but true PTSD is not a common as most think, most use it as an excuse........are you one of those?

I've had it up to my gills with fake sincerity and fake concern. The sane have been compromising with the right wing nutjobs for the past 40 years on this issue, and all it does is create profits for the CEOs on the backs of innocent people being needlessly slaughtered. Nope, sorry, I will not respect selfishness and ignorance. If you insist on stupidly claiming in this context on this subject that there are two sides to every story, I could give a fuck less. Sure, you can claim that if you want, but only one side is actually right, and the other side is bat shit nuts.

The GOP pulls the same variety of dodges out every single time. And whenever we do manage to get some reasonable safety laws passed, the GOP once they regain power they undo those laws. The Brady Bill was the last time they actually gave a fuck, and only because their party's President was shot, but years later, they gutted the very law they helped pass. They do the same shit over and over, decade after decade. And your condescending patronizing me isn't going to wash. 

There is no compromise now. There is the right pulling it's head out of their asses, and working with us, or getting the fuck out of the way. But they are not going to control the narrative anymore. We've done "arm more, sell more" and it isn't fucking working. If you think they can be reasoned with, you are fooling yourself. If my words offend you more than say two schoolchildren being decapitated by a spray weapon, then you are the one with the problem. The fucks I have to give are less than zero at this point.
