US Govt Responding to a Mass shooting checklist:
Blame the opposite party ✅
Thoughts and prayers ✅
Video Games ✅
Call for mental health reform while also opposing universal health care ✅
Briefly entertain the idea of gun control ✅
S*** man, there's barely any mental health professionals outside of metropolitan areas and smaller cities don't even have a lot of them and they get booked fast, I've dealt with this myself, it f***ing sucks
"Mental health reform" in America makes me lirl because everyone knows how BS that is
You can't book anybody for s*** and even if so, its expensive, and to get that money, you have to grind yourself mentally to the bone
The majority of mental healthcare in this country is telehealth s*** and that really sucks, because to have the best healthcare, you need an in-person evaluation
Before I get killed for this, I am pro gun control and reform.
Americans have had guns for a long time. Why have school shootings become so normal in recent time when guns have been present and ingrained in American culture for a long time? What changed with Americans as people?
the ugly truth is that these things really are not solely a gun issue, at all.
it's primarily a mental health problem.
but take away the guns and bam, the person cant go killing peeps.
dumbass.

What I’ve been saying throughout this basic ass thread
They weren’t! That’s my f***ing point! Something else is going on. Just look at the data. When did mass shootings become a daily or weekly occurrence in this country? It didn’t happen overnight, but they also almost never occurred prior to the 2010s, compared to now.
Did guns become way more deadly in the 2010s?
Then why do y’all always point to the guns?
It’s like blaming Twitter for people being s***ty on there. I mean, you’re kinda right, but Twitter exists now, sorry! And if it didn’t, something else would take its place.
Live in reality. Not a fantasy land where laws can fix MURDER!
This gotta be one of the stupidest things I ever read I can't lie

Yes guns available to civilian buyers became more deadly in the late 2000s because the assault weapons ban was allowed to sunset

Yeah take away the d**** while you’re at it boss
do you want to have an actual conversation or are you going to keep replying to me using quips and gotcha moments?
but thats exactly what you doing?
troll somewhere else.

Do you genuinely believe this? Erasing guns from the populace would erase murder?

pretty much every school shooting is a columbine copycat and the shooters all want that same sort of infamy
it seems like there was a resurgence in school shootings after sandy hook though
How do any of those points target “low income/minority” people besides maybe registering your firearm with a local PD
Registration with PDs who are clearly racially biased. Putting financial restrictions (paid courses, permits, classes) as a financial roadblock when there is zero evidence that money keeps people from committing mass shootings. Gun laws disproportionately being applied to areas with non-white residents. Literally dates back to the Black Panthers and s***. cmon man

Having one of the most ed populations of people on earth certainly does not help
Here’s where Lou plops his cure for USA mass shootings, reforms which will never see the light of day because of corrupt demonic politicians who make themselves rich through the blood of innocent people
require:
-gotta be 21 years old
-extensive background checks
-references for purchase
-register guns with pd or federally
-firearms safety training
-annual psych evals
-wait time of 3-6 months after purchase
-mag capacities of 8-10
-fire rate limitations
-caliber limitations
-annual ammo purchasing limits
-gun to be stored at home in safes
No required extensive training alone is crazy to me.
It takes me at least 6 months minimum to be a CPA and that only allows me to express an audit opinion or sign tax returns. Some dude can just grab a gun online and start blasting as soon as his ID is mailed in lol

it should as hell would make it way harder for someone to go on killing sprees.
how can you guys not see this?

They can, they just do not care
Except people here are arguing for common sense gun REGULATIONS, yet the word "banning" is still being conflated with that
common sense regulations are flawed as well. im just using banning as a catch-all but i'll gladly change my wording if it'll get you to stop being so dense

That’s not what you said. I am very pro-gun control, as you’ll see once you stop being reactionary to posts made an hour ago
troll elsewhere.
