@tardigrada Their solution will be to turn the schools into fortresses, which the pretty much already are, and this still continues to happen. And it won't address workplace and public mass shootings.
The problem is a comprehensive mental health crisis, and readily available killing machines.
Have a look at what is required to amend the constitution and see why I am saying we're stuck where we are now on the topic of gun control.
@tardigrada Unfortunately I think he's right. If nothing changed after Sandy Hook, nothing will ever change. If some psychopatch rolling into an elementary school and killing 30 people, 20 of whom were only 6-7 years old didn't galvanize this country, this topic is settled in my opinion.
Everybody talked a good game for a while about the tragedy but we've got politicians elected who think the whole thing was fake.
I predict nothing more than thoughts and prayers for this one as well.
@frog_brawler oh he's a YouTuber, cleans out blocked culverts and storm drains. Turns out Jello Biafra sounds a lot like him I never knew :ablobgrin:
@Philharmonic3 @The_Picard_Maneuver Are we sure the first few 2x4s aren't fun? Like the first few bricks and cars?
@givesomefucks @cosmicrookie William Shatner always struck me as someone incredibly hostile to the fanbase which made him famous and the people who are the only reason anyone gives a damn about him anyway.
Every interview I have ever read or seen video of is just him belittling people and their fandom.
@Servais No I didn't go, I didn't like 99% of those people when we were in school together, I cannot imagine the intervening 20 or so years would have done much to change that tbh.
@Transporter_Room_3 Voyager was my favorite of the Star Trek series. I loved the idea of them being stranded 70+ years away from home an djust having to figure it out. And Janeway is by far my favorite captain in all of the series because of how much of a mother bear she was.
@tardigrada Don't mistake any of this for me saying "we shouldn't try", of course we should. This needs to be a topic of conversation always, maybe the needle will slowly move.
But as long as you've got a large portion of the country in love with stockpiling firearms and ammunition, and a mental health crisis to go with it, this will continue to happen and politicians will continue to wring their hands.
