damn. stawman? how many kids get killed by drag queens? and you call other people ignorant? it would be funny, if it wasnt so sad. but better pop an adderal than kids at school.

non related? i thought you care for kids? but you seem to think guns dont pose a danger to kids in school every day. its just like i said. guns are no problem for you, even if kids, and all kind of innocent people, get shot nearly every day. you do not care for anybody at all. at least i think you dont. you just care about yourself while sexualising men in women clothes. grow up, buddy.

Quote where I said people were being killed by drag queens, I’ll wait.

so you think dont guns pose a danger to kids in school every day?

Do GUNS pose a danger, no. Mentally ill people and criminals do. You don’t get to blame the tool for the actions of the person using it. That’s not how real life works. Nobody blames a car when some drunk mows down a bunch of people for it, nobody blames alcohol when some drunk asshole with an attitude comes home shitfaced and beats his wife, the PERSON is blamed for their actions. Not the car, not the alcohol. Welcome to the real world.

so, why is there no other country in the world with the amount of guns and killings like the US? if i understand you right - because the US is the place with the most mentally ill people and criminals in the world, right? reading your comments and seeing the political discourse in your country this does not seem far fetched. are you a mentally ill criminal yourself?

We have no shortage of either sadly, if you actually lived here you’d know for many years we’ve had serious issues with not treating people that are mentally ill, and dangerous. Criminals aren’t prosecuted thanks to liberal gov’ts that literally let violent offenders walk right out the door. So yes, we very well may have more (in circulation) than many other countries do and that’s a serious problem. Many people use that terrible situation to virtue signal a hatred of guns to their advantage, just as you’re failing to attempt to do.

Again, if you actually lived in this country, you’d also be aware that states with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country also have the highest amount of gun crime vs those who don’t. That’s proven not to work, huge surprise! Legal gun owners aren’t going out and shooting people and using them in crimes, who would have known right?

are you a mentally ill criminal yourself?

You’ve gone from childish to just stupid now, conversation over.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
