I am sorry for your loss but there is no comparison. How many terrorist attacks have we had compared to mass shootings? |
Not an overreaction. My DS is twelve and so far we have dealt with a rumor (thankfully false) of a gun threat, and when he was in preschool, he had to be evacuated due to a bomb threat (also thankfully unfounded). |
Vote for candidates who support gun control. Contribute to gun control organizations.
It terrifies me. |
Remember weaving through parking lots when the sniper was at large? I sure do. Chances of me getting shot were nil. But statistics don't enter into rational thinking when death is on the line! Gun control. Gun control. Gun control. |
+1. I’m not ashamed to say it’s my #1 issue. I don’t vote for candidates who are lukewarm on gun control. |
Normal people don’t tear up over cop cars going down the road. |
Vote, get involved in gun control activism, organize others to vote, fundraise. You live in a modern democracy, not in a gun kingdom. |
Vote for candidates who support tougher sentencing. MoCo judges live by the Nolle Prosequi mantra. I was robbed a few years back and had to show up to court 4 time because the perp would FTA. He was facing a maximum of 18 years on 6 counts and walked away with 2 days (time served... over nights when warrants were served). Meanwhile my kid took about 6 months to feel comfortable in their own house. We don't need more gun control laws. We need more gun owners. Criminals don't care about your gun control laws. |
Who is the “we” you’re referring to? Weepy, over-sensitive, liberal soccer moms? Most normal people don’t live this way. |
Disagree. Putting people in jail crated career criminals and recidivism. Guns create murders. We need social solutions and punishments that fit the crimes and reform the people who can be helped ( I’m not talking about everyone). |
Same. |
Putting people in jail for violent crimes seems reasonable to me. And guns don't create murder and more than car dealerships and bars do. |
Like the mom of the Sandy Hook shooter, who was a polite middle aged white lady, like you and i? |
That who’d. It have been my thought, but everyone is different. You don’t have to live that way. Get therapy to deal with irrational fears. |
Perhaps and a holes sneer at those who do. |
