White House Defends Trump Threat Label Amid Violence

[Larniavc]

There are already more guns than people, do you think criminals care about registering their guns?

When a gun is first sold it could be registered. Make it illegal to sell guns second hand. Make crimes committed by the wielder also applicable to the own; like if a kid uses a parent’s gun.

What proportion of school shootings are done by criminals? Criminals mostly kill themselves which is nature’s way.

Cracking down on non-criminals who are nevertheless un trustable with guns is a good step.

Hey, I've given away most of my guns and don't want to give any others to the government. I mean, I only kept the nostalgic ones and I don't even think they work. I sure don't know how to load any of them.

Those are good ideas but what do you do about all the guns that are already in circulation?

Dunno. It might take 20 years but with good will from those not concerned with profiting from gun sales America can be made a safer, less dangerous country.

Your words speak for themselves.

Then why do you feel the need to add your words to them?

Is this the setup to a punchline?

With good will from those not concerned with profiting from gun sales?

Who would that be?

America can be made a safer, less dangerous country.

Eh...I used to believe that until London surpassed NYC for murders by stabbing over murders by gun.

It doesn't appear the problem is gun related.

Our school district is putting sophisticated body scanners at school entrances. So sad they have to divert money from education because of dangers more prudent, sensible countries don't face.

The money put into education doesn't seem to achieve much.

Guns; the cause and solution to the problem. And all the while the gun manufacturers and the NRA making an industry out of human misery.

Think of them like covid vaccines....they only protect you somewhat from the unvaccinated.

How many AK47s did the hero Gorbachev use in his battle against government ? The flag posts and bear spray were not the problem the fake elector plot is clearly part of a slow moving Coup that would cause major change to the government without much violence Like Russia 1989 or Italy 1922.

Major change to the government was needed.

The AR 15 will not stop tanks, get a sniper rifle, learn how to make IEDs and fly a drone

The idea of a civil war between some "government military" and civilian military is a misunderstanding based on our previous civil war and military tactics of the time.

Civil wars are primarily, political wars. They're fought along political lines. It won't be north vs south or Johnny Reb vs The US military. It's you vs the guy down the street.

How do you detect if someone has a gun?

Well the Uvalde shooting began with an officer calling his supervisor for permission to shoot a teen entering the school with a gun.

I suppose we could back the police and encourage them to act on their best understanding of the situation...but we'll need to let some mistakes slide instead of burning down police stations because we decided they made the wrong choice in hindsight.

That's asking a lot of the civilian population.

 

[Ana the Ist]

I think we should start looking at school shootings as very public suicides....with collateral damage.

You have absolutely no knowledge of our school district's educational record.

But every district, no matter what its record, would be better served putting it to education instead of defense against unhinged assailants in a country with 400 million guns.

Blue Cross recently gave grants to schools to establish "calming rooms." I think that shows how frightened kids are by societal violence and their own vulnerability.

Nope...I was speaking generally about the public school system.

This is where I disagree. It's unclear what the teachers' unions do if so many teachers are so often on strike and perform so poorly.

Blue Cross recently gave grants to schools to establish "calming rooms." I think that shows how frightened kids are by societal violence and their own vulnerability.

Life doesn't have calming rooms. The students have poor attention spans. I'd remove phones and internet connected devices through 10th grade.

I would suggest you volunteer at your local school if you have time to learn about what really happens.

Why is there a St Patrick’s Day hat on all the avatars?

Click on one’s profile and click on the settings icon, look for the Preferences tab, scroll down for “content options”, tick “disable holiday styling”.

I also disable folk’s signatures.

If that was a real insurrection, then it was the only one that I have ever heard of which was attempted to be done without the insurrectionists using any lethal weapons. Also, maybe the Lord might be sending a message to the USA after Trump Providentially survived the assassination attempt on July 13th.

i guess you are unfamiliar with the Velvet Revolution then.

Peaceful then as well.
