No I was commenting upon this administration’s priorities (at the time) to focus on labeling random vehicular vandalism as terrorism while actual armed, terrorizing individuals get barely a mention. Commentating on the current state of affairs isn’t laying any blame on anyone.
“What are the administration’s priorities?“ is political discusssion 101, si.
This kind of deserves its own thread.
American mass shooters? It's pretty normal. Through most of the world, it's not; That's true.
If it wasn't normal, it would have been dealt with in a meaningful way.
How about when automobile owners suggest that reckless driving incidents are abhorrent and awful?
The position of dead kids being worth it to save gun owners from paperwork has gained traction. Unless the shooter can be classed as trans or tied to trans individuals in some way then clearly it’s time for government action.
That's not the sole purpose of a gun or a car. A gun, a car, the Internet, AI, these are all tools. Best to concentrate on the PEOPLE who misuse these tools rather than blame the crime on the tool.
Trust me, as someone looking in from another country, school shootings do appear to be normal in America.
Just...what?
When the president talks about bombing Iran into the dark ages (a genocidal war crime) perhaps our country's leaders need to set better examples.
It's not so much that it's been normalized, but rather that the issue isn't talked about with the gravity it deserves, or is immediately talked about in the context of "this is why we need to advance the political agenda I've wanted" or "it's sad, but you better not try to do anything that inconveniences me as a result of this"
I've used guns for hunting. The reason why something was invented or designed does not mean today's other uses are not worthwhile. GPS was originally designed and used for military purposes but I do not think it should be banned.
So at some point you went into a shop that deals with hunting and asked the guy behind the counter if he had something that you could use to kill animals at a distance by causing a small projectile to slam into the beast at a high velocity. Something hand held perhaps. Something that any fool could use. You know, just point and shoot?
