[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistically, this kind of event, while horrible, is very, very far down on the list of things any of us need to worry about or plan for. The fear you feel comes from inside your head, not from any significant danger to you or your kids. [/quote]

I don't think you understand statistics.[/quote]

No, this person is correct. It’s about as likely as dying by lightning strike. Now, we still warn people not to stand out in open fields during a storm, and we should still take reasonable measures to ensure that zero children die in a school shooting. But living in fear as if this is a likely occurrence is not warranted. [/quote]

There is something deeply wrong with those of you that choose to normalize mass shootings of children.  [/quote]

If Sandy Hook did not prompt us to get our house in order, nothing will.  I accept the reality underwhich we live due to gun nuts.  As long as at least half the population (more or less) votes R I have to fear for my children, whether it's getting shot at school or being denied needed reproductive care.

I have to find ways to cope and to work around their madness.  One approach is those "safe rooms" you may have seen recently that create a bullet proof area inside the classroom.  Another might be the Reserrves on site.  Sad, terrible, reminds me of "third world" places I've vistied but, I'm not living in a fantasy here.  [/quote]

No.  Don't give up.   People are going out and actively voting for reproductive rights and the same can be done to support gun safety.[/quote]

But it’s not going to work! Oh my god, I am so so so tired of being told that my job is to vote harder. It doesn’t work in a federal system full faith and credit, with 50 sets of rules for who gets the franchise, when the timeline we all live in law is pure tyranny of the minority and most people would not support any kind of confiscation program.  Youngkin just did the imperial move of keeping people with felony convictions who have served sentences from voting, some real Jim Crow evil. North Carolina has crazily drawn districts, and so this week or last a measure to let people get some guns with no permits passed.

The one thing the GOP is excellent at is using and holding power, and securing more. Amoral acts are the lifeblood of the party, which is near fascistic. The appellate courts in general and the Supreme Court are stuffed with liars aka “originalists.” We all know this, and insisting otherwise is just lies piled on top of more lies. What we need is unprecedented and bold use of power by a President to use their AG and office of legal counsel to try and implement some kind of confiscation program and thats that. We are in a never-ending national emergency about this and we know it. But that’s not a palatable thing for most. So instead MEANINGLESS inanities about ‘don’t give up’ and ‘it’s. About. The. Guns.’  posts will have to do. Because of the inability to be serious about this at the federal level and the nature of the problem means there is no real safe enclave where you can reasonably believe the gun issue wont’ touch you one day.[/quote]
