[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing will ever be accomplished in terms of gun control, mental health care etc, IMO.

Why are schools not secure?? I think that is what should realistically be focused on. I don’t hear about many mass shootings at courthouses, airports or sports stadiums. Metal detectors for all adults and bags (and students above a certain age), armed officer at every school K-12, fortifying the perimeter and entry points, and improved technology (so much that can be done these days). IMO this is where the focus should be…if we are being realistic [/quote]

So I have to wait around, get searched, pay for a bunch of people to play security theater just so right-wingers can cuddle up with their emotional security guns? That's messed up. [/quote]

Yep. Once again: even with all of the mass shootings, how much progress has been made with gun control?! How much progress will be made in the near future? The most realistic guess is: none. None at all.

Realistically, the choice is increased security measures (whether that inconveniences you or not) OR the shootings continue with no reductions.

Or we run hundreds of articles and op ed pieces and shine a big f***ing spotlight on the problem - obstructionist Republicans who would rather let kids die than vote "yes" on firearm regulations. Pick a Republican member of Congress who votes "no" and run 192 articles in two weeks (we know the New York Times can do this) highlighting the a**hole's voting record, money he's received from the gun lobby, and the dead kids he doesn't want to help. Maybe do side stories on the weird gun fetishists with dozens of rifles and handguns. Get real up close and personal with the kind of sketchy weirdos who sell firearm accessories along with Nazi regalia at flea markets. [/quote]
