I agree with you about “fuck those people pretending to misunderstand” but if we find better phrasing, which absolutely is the least of the problems, they can no longer pretend to misunderstand.

Except we need better wording because dumb people see “defund” and think it means giving them $0

The Sandyhook survivors all aren’t really doing ok https://www.upworthy.com/amp/sandy-hook-survivors-share-their-stories-2656027851 the kids are not alright ☹️

I can’t imagine what parents are going through. When I was a youngling I hated being lied to, or have things hidden from me. So maybe being honest at an appropriate time is the best bet. Idk. Here’s an article that might help. I didn’t really read it https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/26/1101306073/what-to-say-to-kids-about-school-shootings-to-ease-their-stress

Sometimes I really hate it here. We could easily fund better mental health facilities. Take funds from the cops. They hesitate to do their jobs when they should be going all in, and kill people when they shouldn’t. Lower federal and state law enforcement funding and give it to mental health. Within a year I bet we’d see an improvement. Better mental healthcare would lead to lessening the need for cops in the first place

This country is a shit show and for some reason, NOW the right wants to talk about mental health, while doing absolutely nothing to get anyone that help. How come in communities that have daily shootings and deaths the answer is never “we need more good guys with guns!” Only ever when a mass shooting happens?

Omg so this shit that they went in immediately is bullshit nonsense. Figures.

They already shot at members of Congress and hit a couple the fuck face Congress person Scalise, I think, almost had his leg blown off and still votes against gun control the only way gun control will happen is if black men start mass shooting in record numbers. Let’s face it, most of our laws were born from fear of black people exercising their rights. Racist ass country.

Now I’m reading that the shooter didn’t have body armor with any plating inside so question is this, why did police let him get away and enter the school when they had him engaged after he crashed his car?

The right is alway getting on us for making the issue political but it is political. It’s in our constitution only politicians can fix it and legislate on it therefore it’s fuckin political and these asshole pieces of shit need to do their job

The NRA is well aware that the wrong people get their hands on guns, and they know the immediate solution is to restrict them. They need these sub human politicians kept alive so they can legislate the way the NRA tells them to. The NRA has no use for children.

You see, only certain people deserve protection from guns, and that deserving class of people are definitely not children

No one cared about the white American kids no way were they gonna worry about immigrant children. They’ll do the act of sadness and shock while actively not changing a thing. They wanna arm teachers. We have armed professionals that gun down innocents All the time but arming barely trained teachers will fix it all 😑

Look what they’re up against though, it’s hard to go up against all that $$$, and campaign power, while at the same time trying to avoid those same traps.

I’m not saying not to vote, but I am saying voting for a third party candidate that meets your check list in every way might be more beneficial than compromising on a candidate that meets some criteria. We can’t be afraid to go third party because that candidate doesn’t seem to have a chance. I can almost guarantee that the better the third party candidate does, the more viable the candidates will seem in the future and eventually they will win.

No it wouldn’t but he could have demanded Congress and senate codify roe v wade because there existed a supermajority and he never did it. Fifty years the gop has been threatening to do exactly what has happened and democrats did nothing to stop it. The system is broken and it needs to be fixed and no one wants to go through the pains of change. Am I worried that a strategy of voting third party would be devastating to many communities? Yeah, absolutely, but instead of pushing shit off on other generations maybe the time is now. Let us be the generation to suffer so future ones can have a real democracy. What we got now isn’t it. The worst is already happening, and in some cases the worst is happening AGAIN. They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, but that’s exactly what we’re doing

It’s so frustrating that the majority are ignored just to appeal to registered Republicans that may or may not vote for them. I’m pretty sure there was at least two instances where Dems held a supermajority in the Senate and could have codified Roe v Wade, but they were too scared to do it.

This isn’t a verified account and the post on truth social has been taken down however this guy threatened the president after his speech addressing the nation after Uvalde https://www.wesh.com/article/randy-fine-second-amendment-biden/40104010# so, yeah, even if he never said the above, nothing will change in this country.

I want neither however democrats are in control of key things and we’re having a quick drop in freedoms anyway. I just want to add that we can blame the lack of cohesion amongst Dems in the senate on Manchin and Sinema all day long, but when you have Pelosi and other democrats actively backing anti choice, pro nra democrat over a progressive candidate that’s pro choice and pro gun legislation, those excuses only go so far.

Honestly does it even matter anymore when Republicans seemingly get their way regardless of their numbers? They hold a majority they get their way. They are the minority, they get their way. Ijdk anymore. Does “voting blue no matter who” even matter when democrats are proving to have no spine to do what needs to be done? Seems that now is a perfect time to vote for the third party progressive candidates, just rip off the fuckin band aid because it doesn’t matter.

Cops in schools would not have stopped the shooter. He was wearing body armor and was apparently in a shootout with police before he entered the school https://www.newsweek.com/officers-engaged-gunman-before-mass-shooting-1709870?amp=1

Fuckin sad but your post is truth. Schools with police presence has shown us time and time again that it doesn’t make children safer. Just the other day I saw a video where school officers (that were cops) breaking up a fight and then kneeling on the neck of a 14 yo for 25 seconds. I think this was in Kenosha WI. The girl now suffers from brain injury

They’re already deflecting. Saying dumb shit like we need religion not gun control, we need religion not mental healthcare. Nothing will change. Abortion is bad, but allowing children to die in a hailstorm of bullets, to protect our 2A is ok? They already want to add cops in schools and make less entrances and exits. That’s the solution. More cops. Less doors. 🙄

Some parents were asked to submit DNA to match with the victims because some children were left unrecognizable from the carnage https://www.businessinsider.com/families-texas-school-shooting-give-dna-swabs-help-identify-victims-2022-5?amp nothing will change though. No mental healthcare, no restrictions on firearms, no accountability by any social media sources where the shooter posted tons of guns. Hindsight is 20/20 but we never do anything to stop this, or at least make it not so easy

I wonder if this meeting will still happen and if Cruz and Abott will still go https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/amp/trump-cruz-abbott-nra-meeting-17196580.php it’s only in the last 50 years that ammosexuals in the NRA campaigned constantly to change the meaning of the 2A. Prior to that guns were in fact heavily restricted Here’s a timeline of the evolution of the 2A https://time.com/5169210/us-gun-control-laws-history-timeline/
