Gun Control catch all

Post by GORDON »

So a set of parents have now been convicted of manslaughter, for their son's shooting spree

How do we feel about that?

On the one hand, I feel like parents do have some responsibility to not buy their sad son a gun in order to cure his depression.

In the other hand, I feel like the parents have room to ask the federal government why they need to go bankrupt in order to get their son mental health care.

The parents were absolutely jackasses to buy their kid a gun. They definitely have some responsibility. I look at it in the same light as a parent buying booze for a bunch of underage kids to drink on prom night and then not ensuring the kids weren't driving.

However, the skeptic in me feels like this is the government passing the buck (they destroyed mental health care), finding a scapegoat, and working a backdoor solution for gun control.

Mass stabber in Mass and his picture begs more questions.

I know I've seen him play the villain in an 80s movie, I just can't place which one. :D

This could also go in the moron thread, but she keeps posting it despite being proven wrong endlessly.

This is a terrible and poorly researched argument.

I agree that you never play by rules when you didn't start it, and it's your life.

Yet another mass killing via vehicle.

The guns are not the problem, and if you still say that, you're a mindless drone repeating what your masters tell you. You'd honestly have to have the IQ of a cumquat to not equate mass shooters and these car driving mass murderers and recognize that it destroys the "guns are the problem" argument.

We have a mental health crisis.

And in this case, it highlights our growing cultural crisis too.

This is allegedly the driver in the terrorist attack in NOLA.

Not white, an "HR specialist", Muslim, flying an ISIS flag, etc.

Fucking white supremacy just keeps on being the "greatest threat to the world".

9/11 set their bar way too high. Now we hear about a terrorist attacks that kills 10, and we're all like, "Yeah, we all already knew Islam hates us. And we know we wont do anything about it. What else you got?"

Idris Ilba, who I respect greatly as an actor, seems to lack some intelligence, at least on this topic.

He doesn't realize it, but he's completely invalidating the entire gun control movement. He's doing so by proving it's not about, nor will it stop with, guns.
