[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve distanced myself from my gun loving family.  I’m polite.  I’ll attend family gatherings.  But I’ve lost all respect for them.  As far as I’m concerned, if you voted Republican, you killed those babies.  [/quote]

Stop blaming republicans.  They didn't kill those kids.  This was a very troubled young man who didn't get the help he needed from his parents/family, school and community.  Lets start there.[/quote]

Wrong.  As long as the republicans resist any attempts to legislate legal gun controls, then they are to blame.  And they are aiding and abetting the murder of children in schools.  They keep harping on mental health issues.  The reports say that this "very troubled young man" had no reported mental health issues.  Trying to blame mental health issues is like saying that the man who pushed a person off a boat wasn't the murderer, the boat was.

We need to start legislating common sense gun controls.  There needs to be better background checks and waiting periods.  There need to be licensing that involves classes.  We require people to take driving lessons and get licensed to drive a car, the same should be done for guns.  Lessons should talk about proper storage (including locked gun storage) especially with kids in the home.  As long as Republicans consistently block any attempts at legislation, then they are to blame for allowing lax gun regulation that allows for these situations to happen.  They actively block any attempts to provide safety in the system to prevent events like Uvaldi.  So they should bear the blame when their lack of any type of control or regulation allows these events to happen.[/quote]

Anytime someone inserts mental health into a gun violence conversation, they either know very well they are deflecting and distracting, or they're too stupid and ignorant to know they've been had by others who have done the same thing.

Shut down the mental health debate and refocus on gun control laws. There is no mental health issue. The problem is access to guns.  The average person cannot be trusted with a gun. A large portion of firearm deaths result from accidental discharge inside average people's homes.
