  1. We should get rid of all of the telescopes, so we never have a problem with asteroids.
  2. Firearm violence is still firearm violence even it occurs at a bar or by POC
  3. What is wrong with this kid running around with a firearm? What is wrong with him or his friend firing off 8 rounds? What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ does that cop not understand?
  4. But you knew 4 weeks ago you can stop wearing a mask
  5. Wear a mask dipshit.
  6. And the whole reason a segment is resistance is because of Gym Jordan, his cronies, and folks like you that need to know NOW when you don’t have to wear a mask. This isn’t hard. Cowboy up. Wear a mask. Get vaccinated. Stop excusing Gym. Tell Gym to get fucked.
  7. Wear a mask. Get vaccinated. Tell your family to wear a mask and get vaccinated. Stop excusing Gym Jordan and right wing conspiracy theorists.
  8. Gym Jordan and Anastasis want to know NOW when they can stop wearing a mask!
  9. If this was true and Manafort and Stone really did collude with Russia, why didn’t Trump give them pardons? Checkmate libtards!
  10. Giving an identity (street groups, gang members, Chicago) to the others while assigning identies to ourselves (good guy with gun, lawful gunowner) help some put off the need for gun control since they can tell themselves it is someone else's problem. Our firearm problem in the US extends further than just shootings in cities. We also have mass shootings, shooting by suicide, and non-"street group" shootings. The idea that mass shooting events (the ones that are severe enough to make it to national media) only compose 2% of all firearm fatalities in the US is telling. Massachusetts is an example of a state that has taken firearm violence seriously and requires a license for possession. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Massachusetts
  11. We wouldn't need to take all of them. We would only need to decrease the number of firearms in our population (buy-back program, registration system), replace the firearms that serve little purpose to society with those that do serve a purpose (buy-back program, licenses based on need), and limit the possession of firearms (background checks, license, registration, training). The point isn't to get the risks from firearm violence in the US to zero. The point is to get the risk of firearm violence in the US so it is close to the level of other developed countries.
  12. Why was the Trump campaign giving internal polling data to a foreign national with links to Russian intelligence?
  13. Not enough thoughts and prayers
  14. Why is it foolish to call them insurrectionists?
  15. PBS Frontline's documentary on the insurrection. They piece things together between Charlottesville, proud boys, boogaloo, the military, the michigan governor kidnapping plot, MAGA, and the insurrection. A few notable interviews with extremists. Hopefully, no one here views them as anything more than duped traitors. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/american-insurrection/
  16. I'm sure folks are aware, but Bighorn is a good example of how the pro-gun crowd use identity to separate themselves from the problem of gun violence. There is the "responsible gun owner" identity, the "goog guy with a gun" identity, and the scary "gang member" identity. When shit starts to get weird they can always fall back on the guy with "poor mental health" or "having a bad day" identity.
  17. I think we should only define mass shootings as when the victims and shooters match my identity. Thanks.
  18. I was able to make it half way through the video. I agree he made some points. But did he make any good points that should be considered when developing public policy?
  19. What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ do you not understand?
  20. Which is consistent with the common right-wing theme of giving zero fucks about anyone who doesn't match their identity.
  21. That is notable because it means those others are the real problem while my identity of being a law-abiding citizen insulates me from any sort of firearm regulation
  22. What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you not understand?
  23. There is inherent absurdity in equating corporations with people especially in terms of giving them unlimited election spending and greater control over our elections. It is "We the people" and not "We the multinational corporation" or "We the LLC" or "We the shell company." They are not citizens and are not allowed to vote or run for office. Giving them overly weighted power in electioneering is unamerican. It is antithetical to self governance. It is antithetical to democracy.
  24. If we take away the right to unlimited election spending free speech from corporations, what will be next? Are we going to take away their right to vote? The right to own a gun? The right to run for office? That would be terrible.
