Bring back the mental hospitals. |
Many millions feel the same about abortion restrictions. Yes this a gun laws thread but the analogy to what scotus rulings can and cannot accomplish is the point. |
Not only this but we need to make it easier to commit people who are a danger to themselves or others. |
How? Republicans gutted funding for them. |
They don't mean to actually do anything about mental health. The game is to just talk about it. It's like building a wall or instituting a better health insurance plan or denying that climate change exists. All the country will ever get is a bunch of empty words. |
Yup |
You asked, I answered. I can’t speak for GOP policies from before I was born but that’s what I think should happen now. Are you on board? |
Budget bills are required to begin in the House where clowns, not Democrats, are running the show. |
I worry about the far bigger problem of mass shootings in inner cities. You only value some lives because it is politically convenient for you. You can't fix every tragedy. You start with the low-hanging fruit. You also publicly hang every police officer who obstructed families from rescuing their children, including the elected officials who authorized such behavior. The cowardice should have been harshly punished. But you completely ignore the real problem so I doubt you're intellectually consistent. |
What are these common sense gun laws that will materially change murder rates? Because if you care about that violence, the easiest thing to do is lock up more criminals for other crimes. |
Absolutely. So many angry men in pick up trucks these days. Hair trigger road rage. They belong in an institution for their anger issues. |
For real. Domestic violence and assault are pretty good predictors of further violence. Sentencing needs to be much tougher with violent men. |
So school children are to remain expendable fodder to be exploded with AR-15s so that "shall not be infringed" military cosplay remains alive. You're consistent. |
Agree. It’s nearly impossible to legally own a gun in DC. You cannot even buy a gun in DC; there are ZERO stores. Yet there were nearly 1,000 violent carjackings and plenty of violence (including that committed with illegally-owned guns) in DC. What DC refuses to do is enforce its own laws or prosecute anyone for any crime - even violent crime. DC’s laws are so dystopian that anyone age 26 and under is legally a “youthful offender” subject to, at most, probation, and released same-day to the custody of his parents (wait - there are no parents), even when the “youthful offender murders or maims someone. All because supposedly “26 year olds and under have brains which are not fully developed” (so George Allen claims), but at the same time, DC thinks the voting age should be lowered to 16. Sorry DC, your laws are devoid of logic and make no sense. |
