American Mass Shootings / Stabbings / Car Crashes/bridge collapses

They couldn’t give a flying fuck about mental health. It’s pure, resentful, culture war for them. They’ll have heavily armed ex-soldiers patrolling every school in the country before they’ll admit there’s a gun problem.

The only way gun control might actually happen is if BLM or Anarchist groups start openly carrying weapons when marching. Reagan himself passed the Mulford Act in no time at all once the Blank Panthers started armed patrols in Oakland.

Agree they couldnt give a fuck about mental health, we certainly dont either here tho, if you’ve ever visited a patient in 5B you’d agree…the availability of automatic weapons is the key issue over there…it is nuts.

“Mentally Ill Muslims For Guns” should do it.

Fox News had some commentator on proposing arming teachers as the solution.

There are just the 300 million guns in the US.
Its not practical or realistic to assume banning guns solves this problem.
Does anyone have any real solutions which doesn’t involve something as ridiculous as banning a product of which there are 300 million of in circulation?

Doesn’t look like it.

Ban bullets.

You could make it more difficult to procure guns. Obviously the ones already in circulation are out there, but you could impose stricter rules on private or public sales. It’s too easy for anyone who doesn’t have a criminal record to get their hands on guns.

Obviously ban semis and the sale of existing ones. Try and remove them from the population using financial incentives.

There should be a law that require those treating mental patients who express the desire to take violent action to report it. At least get them into a database and not allow them buy guns. Make it a health database, but link it to the criminal background check system. Hard ask for a huge entity like the US govt.

Spend more of welfare on mental health treatment. This guy had dropped out of therapy, so who knows might have dropped his prescription visits as well. Coming off SSRIs suddenly can have poor outcomes (speculation).

Pray.

You’ve spent the last three years on here whoring yourself for politicians who are NRA whores, so don’t bother continuing with any pretence that you have any problem with the USA’s gun murder epidemic.

Have you considered how this mandatory reporting might impact on treatment and patient confidentiality and what the obvious medium to long term consequence would inevitably be?

Is it true, that Americans make up 4% of the world’s population but own 45% of the world’s guns?

And around and around we go

Seen that in the NY Times alright

There has been no serious attempt by either party to bring meaningful legislation, in decades. You would know and accept that fact if you weren’t so blinkered.

I’m more concerned with the short term consequences of doing nothing. Seizing all the semi-automatic weapons is not a short term project.

False equivalence #44859.

Admit you’re a gun whore and we can move on.

You seem obsessed with the words penis and whore. Perhaps your subconscious is trying to tell you something.

It’s calling the sexually inadequate subculture that you are a part of for what it is, mate.

Sexual inadequacy is at the heart of all your RWNJ nonsense.

I’m not the one who follows girls around the planet and then gets run home with your cock in your hand.
