What's the response when someone says "it's not a gun issue, it's a mental health issue"? Because it just they're handwaving away any responsibility about guns.

'Oh yeah, sure guy we'll give medical professionals more funding to handle the crazy people- which we'll identify thanks to our magical mind-reading powers since crazy people all have distinctive tells that we're just ignoring until the next mass shooting- who will then not go and see these professionals and instead continue to pick up a gun and shoot up a crowded public area.'

a crazy gun nut i used to live with dropped this quote on me once. i pointed out that japan never invaded the US because it had neither the means nor motivation to sealift hundreds of thousands of troops across the pacific ocean. he said that i needed to learn more american history, because it was only by the skin of our teeth that japan didn't invade and conquer the united states. i questioned him about it and in his mental framework of american history, every war we've been involved in has been a sharp life-or-death battle of either victory or complete annihilation - even vietnam. that guy was... special

Actual Facebook happening: I made a comment on a fellow liberal relatives post about how male candidates don't face the same scrutiny about their looks that Hilary does. One of his weirdo friends linked me to a ten year old article about how female beauty standards being generated by catty women themselves. Then he proceeded to tell me that if was a woman he wouldn't wear makeup, he'd grow a big fro, not shave, and not give a gently caress what other women thought. I was so appreciative for his advice on how to be a better woman.

Smug rear end MRA and libertarian types :qqsay:ing about Feminine standards of beauty is the best whining. Mostly because it is abundantly, amazing, and absurdly clear that they have not even the faintest inkling of what they're talking about. :nallears:

Also meme, I don't think it would make no difference if we sold meth over the counter, I really don't think we should do that?

I'm all for decriminalization and drug treatment programs, but I'm not really okay with a National Meth Association lobbying congress and Marlboro running ads about how cool and suave and handsome you are on meth and how it makes life an endless party.

Seriously, this may be the dumbest version of the Benghazi conspiracy that floats around. They do realize that Benghazi is turning into a punchline, right? You know, rather than a tragedy where four Americans died, but nobody could realistically do anything to stop it? I thought they wanted people to take it seriously...

Although I dont think he shot at anything, kind of proves the point further.

In fact, despite the name and causing some $7 million in property damage, the only person who died during the ordeal was Marvin Heemeyer himself. Though that was mostly luck, as he actually had installed "two rifles in firing ports on the inside of the bulldozer," which he fired at power transformers and propane tanks. he also fired on several police officers before they began firing back.

If Thomas Wayne had been carrying a gun to the movies, he wouldn't have been shot in that alley. :smug: (How would he have been able to get the gun out after Joe Chill ambushed him? Typical liberal question.)

Re: Benghazi: Now that the soon to be Speaker of the House (probably) admitted the House Benghazi committee was all about embarrassing Hillary Clinton, I'd say any belief that there's still something to investigate is over.

Yeah but why the gently caress would you fire at an armored bulldozer? I'd just observe and report.

Apparently an officer climbed on top of the bulldozer at some point, and just rode it for a while while trying to find a thin spot in the armor to shoot through before giving up and jumping off. If you read a synopsis of the whole two hours, it's really surreal.

And then the next day they turn on you because you're not the 100% perfect conservative that they have in their minds. Which is difficult because it varies wildly across them, but as soon as you fail on one point it cascades.
