It’s about decisions. If child is old enough to make one major life decision that affects his/her health, that child is old enough to make many |
The take the guns out of the hands of criminals in the neighborhood using raids, sweeps, stop and frisk |
It gets guns off the streets. |
That's running around putting bandaids on the bleed. We need to stop the SUPPLY CHAIN. |
It’s not what you care about. It’s about harm to the individual child |
What I just proposed would get a hell of a lot more illegal guns off the streets than stop and frisk ever will. |
But you’re not willing to do both, of course |
NP, but not even watching whatever BS this is, every post about actual data, research, and solutions about reducing gun homicides is met with middle school level talk and deflection. Republicans are NOT serious about focusing on the number one cause of death for children in America. Instead, it's about deflection re: Gender which (last I checked) doesn't show up as a leading statistical cause of death on any list. Deflection, deflection, deflection. Stop and Frisk is the only supposedly serious solution offered, but the research on Stop and Frisk was not remotely definitive and many studies (when you don't cherry pick one to prove your point) found it didn't actually do anything, on top of the potential for constitutional infringement of rights (which 2a activists should take seriously or they are hypocrites). |
I am, and I will repeat it.
I am a gun owner, and I am willing to do this. Because, I am a RESPONSIBLE gun owner who actually cares about doing something about gun violence. If YOU aren't willing to do that then it's YOU who is the problem. |
NYC says hi |
+1 repeatedly, deflection about the actual number one cause of death to children in America. Republicans pretend to care about children, but all of it is a deflection because they care about their guns more than they actually care about children. |
NYC implementation of Stop and Frisk was found to be unconstitutional and numerous studies did NOT find that it impacted crime. One did, others didn't. Do you not understand how research works? |
Also do you only care about 2a constitutional rights, but not other constitutional rights? How convenient. |
Agreed. The US is the laughing stock of the world. We are supposed to be the land of "freedom" and the "pursuit of happiness" yet we allow crazies to buy assault weapons and gun down children in elementary schools (repeatedly). We are one of the few countries in the world that practices lockdown drills. Our children are traumatized. People are so fearful of each other that if you drive into the wrong driveway or knock on the wrong door you will be shot dead. All in the name of "second ammendment rights." Utterly ridiculous. |
Video shows a black man saving an Indian man from a robber armed with a knife, using his handgun. Didn’t even have to put down the six pack of light beer. |
