If you want mental health care - VOTE DEMOCRAT
If You want a social safety net so children aren’t languishing in hopeless poverty - VOTE DEMOCRAT

Always the liberal answer. Spend, spend, spend. Magic money tree.

Anyhow - I am ok with some revisions to gun laws, but the libs don't want to address the core problem and/or think throwing money at it will resolve the issue. Typical.

What do YOU think will address the core problem or solve the issue? Anything to offer beyond thoughts and prayers?

It’s clear that in order to protect our kids and ourselves from gun violence, we have to vote for only Democrats. Republicans have made it clear they are not going to change anything.

We allow this because we no longer identify and contain evil. We blame social inequality for the symptoms of mental illness. We tell people with mental illness that they are fine, that society owes them. They are left to themselves, roaming aimlessly and suffering. This is done in the name of diversity and inclusion.

Wow you had to work so hard to blame this on liberals.

But, the PP is right. There is no sacrifice here. Sacrifice is voluntary. These are bad human beings harming other human beings. Liberals explain away and excuse their behavior and instead focus on the tool instead of focusing on the bad actor. Why is that? Why are liberals so ineffective in placing the blame where it clearly belongs. Guns don’t shoot themselves and kill people. People do. Address the people problem, not the tool problem.

Why are conservatives so bad at interpreting data. The US is a glaring outlier with regard to gun deaths. You don’t think other countries have bad people? You don’t think other countries have people with mental illness? You don’t think kids in other countries have access to social media and violent video games? You don’t think people in other countries have access to counseling and psychiatric care?
Conservatives would rather have children die than come to the obvious conclusion that we need to reduce the number of guns in our country.

Other countries don't have A) our culture and B) our demographics.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-gun-deaths-surged-35-2020-higher-black-people-cdc-2022-05-10/

"African Americans as a whole were at least four times more likely to be killed by a gun than the overall population, and 12 times more likely than a white person, the data showed."

"By raw numbers, there were 19,350 gun homicides in 2020, with African Americans accounting for 62% of the total and white people 21%."

It's a national shame that Black bodies are the overwhelming victims of gun violence.

Are you seriously arguing that AAs are the reason we have more mass shootings than anywhere else in the world. B/C the vast majority of mass shootings are committed by...wait for it...white men.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/

Mass shootings are generally defined as having 4 more victims. By that standard there were 12 mass shootings over last weekend alone.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/30/mass-shootings-memorial-day-weekend-taft-chattanooga-uvalde/

NPR says there have been 213 mass shootings this year alone with 27 school shootings. They also reported 693 the year before.

https://www.thetrace.org/2020/09/mass-shootings-2020-gun-violence-black-neighborhoods/

People should be up in arms that these aren't reported more often.

“The dog ate my homework”

Trying again. Site was conveniently rejecting my post. Maybe it was too long. Here’s a summarized version.

National gun registry for citizens and no guns allowed for non-citizens. You have right to own and bear arms but will be fined heavily if they’re not registered.
Greater police presence at schools, with third party training and certification of police and annual mass shooter response training. Not more cops overall, but reallocation. Hold accountable for lives lost and serious injuries. Protect and serve will be culture, not arrest and fine.
National ad campaign (similar to anti smoking and anti drugs in 80s and 90s) promoting family, community, friends, and service while stigmatizing violence, bullying, and social psychosis. Paid for by reducing / eliminating wasteful entitlement programs.
Training for students and teachers on warning signs of high risk young men with ability to refer to a psychological support team with mandatory parent involvement.
Finally, restrictions on media regarding glorification of killers and tallying number killed like a video game score. If we can put some controls on right to bear arms we can also restrict free press a bit. Pen is mightier than the sword after all. What do you think is inspiring all these killers?

Good enough for you? What are your ideas, hypocrite?

It is clear that a large section of the population is mentally ill. And mentally ill people should not have access to guns. How about we address both problems at the same time? Or do you not think that we are capable of doing this?

A Michigan father shot his wife and three children to death, before turning the gun to his own head, pulling the trigger and surviving. Sheriff’s Office deputies identified the victims as 40-year-old mother Dawn Gillard and her children Joshua Gillard, 3, Ronald Gillard, 4, and Katelynn Gillard, 6.
