I went to a convention over Memorial Day weekend, and while I was kinda worried about something popping off there (I always am, have been for over ten years, aha), more than anything, I felt...guilty? I guess? for running around people-watching anime nerds and stuffing my face with Nepalese food while over ten families plan funerals for their little babies.

Stupid, I know. I have no connection to any of the victims or anywhere in Texas, so refusing to have a good time due to a sad event happening elsewhere would have been pointless. It's not like a dead kid would have come back to life for every hour I stayed sulking in my hotel room instead of running around. Still, there was kind of a cloud over the whole weekend, you know?

I do this a lot. I think about it when I go to the store, or any public place really. I also live with two kids and I think about it every day they're at school. Last week they each had events at their schools and when I went I couldn't help thinking about the possibility of the unthinkable happening and how easy it would be for it to happen.

It doesn't cause me to not do things, and I try to let the kids do their thing without being all overprotective, but it's always there in the back of my mind, because this is where I live and this is how it is.

Ted Cruz has received at least $440k from the NRA. Steve Scalise, who had his dick and balls shot off, has received about $400k. Republicans up and down the chain are in the pocket of gun lobbyists and gun manufacturers, they'd be cutting off a source of income if they dared speak out against guns.

In addition, similar to abortion, it's very easy to politicize this and get certain people out to vote based on the fear that their guns may be taken away.

People reported him to Yubo hundreds of times and they legit did nothing. They didn't even suspend his account. Same when he started making death threats. Not sure why this isn't bigger news.

There have been a lot of attempts to look at whether the federal assault weapons ban actually had an effect and it's one of those things that is hard to study, so you have a lot of inconclusive or contradictory results. So it's even easier if you are getting NRA kickbacks to broadly say "gun control doesn't work" which is why the ban wasn't renewed and by the way it was also prompted by a school shooting to begin with. It's disengenuos no matter what, but this is why these politicians probably don't feel guilty for doing nothing, they read some articles by Levitt so they think they know better.

They're put in a position of authority over other people, which they very much enjoy.
And they're being paid from a variety of sources, handsomely, specifically NOT to solve these issues.
They, in some instances, do not feel that these other people's children count as fully human. Either due to race or financial stratification. They're literally not worth caring about.

So you have someone being given, money, power, and authority over life and death of people they already feel better than.

This shouldn't be THAT confusing as to how this goes to their heads and how this combination has gone to MANY people's heads throughout literally all of human history.

I think one of the problems is we get caught up with banning the AR-15s and poo poo and the gun nut politicians love to take this and run with it because empirically speaking handguns are the real problem so it really is easy to say "gun control doesn't work" if you just conflate it with an assault weapon ban

This is one of the biggest issues and is not a good look for libs re racism.

A lot more nonwhite kids are dying from pistols in poor neighborhoods than are dying by assault weapons in dramatic school shootings.

Dems need to sack up and realize that their odds of banning just assault weapons are not much better than banning all semiautos and just go for the semiauto ban. It will take decades/generations to get it to pass, but fuckit, start now because it's not like anything else is going to happen, and the results will actually be dramatic instead of wasting time picking at the edges.

It's good stuff, good for sharing.

You really have to drill on a real person to get a feel for it, can ask them when it's too tight, when it starts hurting, overdo it for a sec and check the capillary refill and all that.

If you are a bit broken in the brain you can give yourself a puncture or laceration in a not critical place (try to do it in places that will be covered by clothes) and do self aid, see how the blood flow and poo poo works, then clean up and take care of the wound.

Harder to work on yourself but if you can do that, other people are way easier.

I'd also add to keep a tampon or two in your trauma kit. For plugging holes in a real nasty situation. Never had to do that, but apparently it works. And have been able to toss ladies an assist on the DL if they are in a pinch. And hey, if you're too scared to buy it from the cashier, self checkout everywhere. The machine won't judge you. Yet.
