[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A little confused at why this is in the politics forum.  [/quote]

Because the solution to this problem is political. And the shooters were very likely ginned up by politicos and charlatans exercising rightwing conspiracy speech.[/quote]

Or people could not shoot other people.

Nobody has to shoot up a crowd of innocent people. Individuals can choose to follow laws and not harm other people. That’s a great solution: don’t harm other people. [/quote]

If wishes were horses beggars would ride. [/quote]

So your position is that people are always going to harm/kill other people? Humans don’t have the capacity to stop themselves from shooting other innocent people?

I don’t shoot innocent people, do you?

I don’t have the slightest desire to shoot anyone.[/quote]

Sure. What’s your solution for making sure people who DO want to shoot someone don’t get their hands on weapons?[/quote]

We have many laws to prevent that; people don’t follow those laws.

What’s your solution to stop people who don’t follow our laws?[/quote]

There are many more laws and actions that could stem the contagion. But then again, the GOP doesn't care about sch things on any level. They want the chaos, no matter the price.[/quote]

We have laws against rape, murder, theft, kidnapping, child abuse, assault, etc, and those crimes are committed every day. The GOP doesn’t make people break the law.[/quote]
Imagine that certain companies sold devices that helped you rape more people or kidnap more people. Now imagine that organizations dedicated to maximizing the profits of these companies directed so much money to GOP elected officials that any legislation meant to decrease the number of rapes and kidnappings caused by these devices was completely out of the question, despite the fact that a majority of voters favor such legislation.[/quote]

Imagine certain companies sold devices that allowed criminals to get inside them and travel great distances cheaply, allowing them to victimize people in distant locations and then flee afterwards, quickly leaving the area and evading any chance of getting caught. Or devices that could be operated by people under the influence of alcohol or drugs, causing crashes that kill 40,000 people a year.

And NO ONE wants these devices outlawed, because almost everyone has one and uses it regularly…. therefore we just [i]can’t[/i] ban them - “[i]because I need mine”[/i][/quote]
Those devices are quite famously and heavily regulated. Licenses are required. Insurance is required. They have VINs. They also have many, many other uses besides killing people.[/quote]
