[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a coarse, fractured, complex, splintered, diverse and loosely tied together society

Take a bunch of people who are diverse in every way, ethnically, religiosity, political ideology, economically. racially, put them in a big melting pot, turn up the heat and watch them bump up against each other.

Sometimes you get Tex-Mex, Korean tacos, bahn-mi (crusty French bread, pickled veg and roasted pork) or shrimp po-boys. Yum.

Good things happen when cultures collide. Scientific innovation, art, music, theater, cuisine but also and less frequently bad stuff happens, think butter chicken nachos.

And sometimes, and thankfully even less often really. really bad stuff happens. Like people get targeted for partaking in the freedom to exist in this great messy uniquely American social construct.

They bump up against the crazy, or evil, and crazy evil is really not a good combination, much like butter chicken nachos shouldn’t be a thing, but it is, and they are, both things.

Disharmony is the price we pay for freedom. Frictionless, stasis has never been reality and it never will be reality.

Maybe this is the best we can hope for in a country of 400+ million diverse souls — the isolated, one off, crazy evil bad actors who occasionally pop off and take down a few of the many.

After all the many still stand safe and strong and free.[/quote]

You high bro? Gtfo with your butter chicken manifesto. The Uvalde children who were only identifiable by their sneakers had the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness under the law. Their deaths are not considered the price we pay for freedom when an arsenal of cowardly LEOs with GUNS did not protect them instantly. These LEOs define 2As well regulated militia.

My then 18 yo son included this in a college thesis essay assigned in freshman year: Thomas Jefferson, one of the Founding Fathers wrote, “I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind.”  Although Jefferson was not a framer of the constitution, framers embraced his wisdom. Everyone should read The United States Senate’s introduction to the Constitution of the United States Preamble, Articles I-VII, Amendments. Article II: “The Constitution has evolved to meet the changing needs of a modern society profoundly different from the eighteenth-century world in which its creators lived. To date, the Constitution has been amended 27 times, most recently in 1992. The first ten amendments constitute the Bill of Rights.”

Don’t like the freedom and the good/bad, then change the laws. Until then the freedoms enjoyed by the right to own weapons does absolutely mean that yes evil, crazy people have a right to own guns too, and here’s the catch we don’t really know who is capable of mowing down school kids with a weapon until after the fact.

And I don’t know many police people but here is the thing I know hero’s in this world those willing to die for strangers, even stranger kids, are rare. I know parents who wouldn’t even die for their own kids. It isn’t human nature, like it or not to run into a house on fire, or run into a building with a shooter on the loose. Death is final.

So police don’t want to die in the line of duty, what next? Let’s police the crazies before they commit crimes. Is writing a manifesto and posting it online enough to take away someone’s guns, and how quickly does that happen? Is there a hearing, does the crazy person, voluntarily give up their guns, or so they hide a few in a storage locker just in case, do you lock up the manifesto poster just incase. Jail isn’t going to make them less crazy, isolated, angry or depressed.

Some people will have entire caches of weapons hiding in their basement for whatever strange reasons make sense to them and unless and until they pull the trigger under current laws they have done nothing wrong, that is until they do.

Other than that you sound unhinged. Definitely not in touch with the reality of the country in which we.  I hope you don’t own any guns.
