We get that you are pleased with shooting or selling weapons that blow people's heads off quickly and efficiently one after the other. But you can find another hobby or another product to sell. If this country does not want these weapons to be legal, then we will arrange to have them not be legal. That's the way the cookie crumbles |
Depending on what set of statistics you use, the US certainly has a high rate of depression among men, but not sufficiently out of whack with other countries such that we have to live with mass shootings. If you disagree, please post your data source. |
See, the GOP keeps on saying that mental health is the problem, but they do nothing to improve access to mental health care or any kind of healthcare. I couldn't find any psychologists in my area that took health insurance. I called and asked one place that had a sliding scale what we'd qualify for as a family of 3 with a $100k HHI and they told me $190 per session. Our insurance, the best our employers offered, doesn't reimburse out of network expenses. Who can pay $190 every week out of pocket? If mental health is the problem, the GOP needs to put its money where its mouth is and make getting help easier and more affordable. |
Right, so there is no definite proof that assault weapons ban is constitutional. That's my point. |
+1 Imagine valuing a dangerous hobby over the lives of children. |
There is no definite anything. We the people. If we want abortions to not be constitutional, rights, we make a plan to get justices on the court that will strike down that right and voila...it is no longer a constitutional right. If justices are put on the court that will uphold a ban then they will up uphold a ban. |
The votes are not there to do more than red flag laws, enhanced background checks, maybe waiting periods, maybe high capacity magazines, Juvi record considered for under 25, maybe raise age to 21. Beyond that, votes are not there.
You act as if it is a small minority. It’s not. |
The US spends about as much on mental health services, relative to all healthcare spending, as other countries. Which is to say, a lot. In the debate about gun violence, citing mental health as an issue is not a call to improve mental health services. The kinds of mental health issues we are talking about are sort of treatable, but not curable in any way. When citing mental health as an issue, the objective is to get guns out of the hands of those that are ill, and to get those that are ill on NICS so they can’t legally take possession. |
Well the votes were not there for overturning Roe and a concerted effort was made and overturned it will be. No one is under the illusion that this will change tomorrow but it there is will to do something and an effective strategy to accomplish it, then it can happen. |
The GOP apparently doesn't care. The $$$ from the hobby are more important. |
POTUS jabbering on about 9 mm rounds- really, is gun control going to be lead by this senile old fool? |
We need to find them, vet them and work in getting a scotus for the people asap. |
Still bitter he defeated tiny hands? It will be ok. |
My AR-15 is my freedom machine. |
Is that from one of those stupid daniel defense promos? |
