A friend of mine brought up the point that we should be making public K-12 education funding more of a national issue since it's generally a local/state one, and I kind of agree with him.

my go-to questions for climate deniers (which have all been older people): what's the worst that happens if i'm wrong? what's the worst that happens if you're wrong? will you prove your stance by telling your grandkids that it's a risk you're willing to take?

What we need to do is to look at the problem holistically, and come up with science and fact based solutions that doesn't give the government more power and doesn't further infringe on people's rights to adequate self defense. you might be right, but i want to try gun laws. colachute fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Aug 4, 2019 |

Bored As gently caress posted:One thing I don't get is how people like you (and others in this thead) that want to see the end of gun ownership, is how do you support something that is going to take away or extremely restrict the ability of people to defend themselves. The elderly, ill or infirm, people with disabilities, the weaker/shorter people, and most women are more easily able to defend themselves from attackers with firearms. Mace/pepper spray is only so effective - it's not even close to 100% effective. Knives take some skill to defend yourself with, and you get too close to an attacker to safely use it anyway. A firearm is an equalizer. Whereas before firearms, a bigger, stronger attacker would easily victimize you, a disabled or smaller or weaker person could easily defend themselves against a much larger attacker. Will they be able to in every circumstance? No. But they'll have a hell of a better chance with a firearm than without. If my ex girlfriend who had muscular dystrophy in her legs had a firearm on her or in her purse, it's quite possible she would've been able to shoot her attacker, and then she never would've been brutally attacked and raped, then she never would've had a TBI and PTSD, and never would've self medicated with drugs, never would've become a junkie thief, and never would've eventually overdosed and died. put money into not having lovely cops and improving police infrastructure in rural towns and, get this, they could be the good guys with the guns. like, as a job, or something. possibly even a career.

or how about this: everyone gets a firearm for self defense, but we abolish police since they seem to be so incredibly useless (an unsolvable problem!) that we need to be armed to the loving teeth

Cugel the Clever posted:Two of the last three mass shootings were ended by police shooting the terrorists within minutes. The chaotic bloodshed that would have occurred had they not been present would have been worse, particularly if a bunch of gun-owners in the crowd confusedly started popping off shots at anyone they believed to be the gunman. we're talking past eachother. there is absolutely 100% no way to solve the problem of police presence in rural towns, or police presence around neighborhoods with the elderly. therefore, because of those people, johnny the psychotic veteran has to be able to easily go buy a rifle to shoot up a wal mart. i finally get it now. we can't solve the lovely loving police in this country, so we can't disarm or have ANY type of firearm legislation come up. because we can't rely on the people paid to protect and serve to protect and serve. why do republicans not have more faith in the police to be the good guy with the gun? colachute fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Aug 4, 2019 |

I’ve been looking up the cost of living in various areas around the world — mostly not-the-UK-Europe. I’m not going to be one of the people who swears I’ll leave if trump wins, but I’m not going to rule out the possibility of moving out of the country all together. I don’t care to stick around and watch this place implode and I’m not going to make it my responsibility to *~*vote*~* in 2024 to correct an unsolvable problem. I’ll just leave.

If I’m being honest, I just don’t want to be associated with this poo poo. It’s going to get to the point where people look at the US and just assume (for good reason) that we are all racist gun toting pieces of poo poo. At this point I feel like on an international scale it’s just limited to trump and republicans and not ALL Americans... yet. When you think Germany in the 1930s and 40s you immediately think Nazis. That’s how it’ll be when people look at the US in hindsight. I don’t want to be visible in that hindsight.
