A similar t-shirt on a kid who met with Rand Paul |

Dont be stupid. There are 330 million people in the US and about 420 million firearms (many being semi automatic assault rifles). If there were 2.5 billion assult rifles in China guaranteed there would be more deaths. The guy who murdered over 30 kids at Virginia Tech was Asian American, the son ir Korean immigrant. He was also mentally ill and in the US he was able to legally purchase war weapons that he could not have purchased in S. Korea. IT’S THE F$ING GUNS |

+1. Try buying an AR-15 in Japan and see how it goes. |

It is fascinating to see conservatives trashing a shirt about using guns to secure rights for yourself when they're constantly telling us that's the reason for second amendment. Amazon sells plenty of Molon Labe stickers which is essentially the same message. |

The majority do not want them here. We can control them if we tell the NRA to eff off and vote for gun control representatives. |

Maybe instead of worrying about protecting children from seeing men dressed as women, politicians should worry about things that actually pose a threat to them, like the ease with which lunatics have access to guns? Just spitballing. Because, you know, who will think of the children? |

When you post for Christmas cards with assault weapons and give them to your kids to pose with, you are asking for trouble. |

Nope, not the guns. Indian Americans are more law abiding in the USA than they are in India. East Asians are approximately the same in both Asia and the USA. Culturally speaking, violence is rare. It's fair to ask why more mass shooters are non-white, while mass shootings in a school setting trend white though. What is the difference in terms of psychology for those different groups in mass shooting events? |

“This is inevitable and can’t be stopped” says only country where this regularly happens.
Onion headline that has been posted for years following masa shootings. |

In Japan you can literally walk around drunk and never have to worry about being robbed. It is one of the safest countries in the world and that isn't due to weapons. For whatever reason post WW2, Japanese culture changed such that violence and violent crime is exceedingly rare. They do have the occasional knifing attack, like 19 killed in this event a few years ago. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-36890655 |

You have no familiarity at all with the Bible. |

And, I, a female, can remember walking alone back to a hotel in Tokyo at 1 a.m. and feeling perfectly safe. It has nothing to do with weapons. Would I do that in DC? Hardly. |

(Slightly off topic, but I still want to speak up in support of the massive number of non-White victims of crime for whom a big deal is never made. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women: https://www.nativehope.org/missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women-mmiw Black women and girls go missing to the tune of 300,000 reported missing in 2020 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/new-documentary-highlights-plight-of-missing-black-women-and-why-their-cases-go-ignored Victims of crimes don’t have to be “ugly” to be ignored.) |

It gives me a giggle to think how fast the GOP would bat that down, especially given that domestic violence is one of the strongest indicators of risk for mass shooting and domestic violence appears to be an inviolable shibboleth in the GOP. They’re not interested in helping mental health. They just want to kick the can down the road till we forget, regrettably, about this latest massacre in a few days. And all the “moderates” will go right back to voting Republican. |
