    No hassle at all, if I felt that way I would have replied IN ALL CAPS AND INCLUDED A FEW CHOICE WORDS DAMN IT

    I'm not a fan of the other type of thread turning political. We've had shit like that happen under several different presidents, from both sides. People are getting shot and we're getting LIBERALS SUCK and CONSERVATIVES ARE ASSHOLES and it drives me up a wall. But I also understand it is always going to head down that path. Always.

    On the other hand, there's tons of evidence that fewer guns mean fewer gun crimes.

    "American Exceptionalism" is the argument that got us here and keeps us here.

    Yeah, nothing like American exceptionalism. We've got it so much better than those back-ass Australians.

    How about we focus on the guy doing the harm? That’s fucking rich. For every person who blames the shooter, 99 ignore him altogether to blame the NRA or GOP or ANYONE but the person who pulled the trigger.

    There is not mandatory security at every school. If you don’t like the idea of providing more children additional security, say that, you bandwagon-jumping dipshit.

    You could put the word rights behind a great many behaviors and insist they're a beloved, ingrained, cherished value to justify them.

    And we do.

    That doesn't make it a great way to make policy.

    bandwagon? What bandwagon? And am I jumping on or off? Can you provide a Venn diagram?

    Then why are we trying to stop North Korea from obtaining a nuclear weapon? Shouldn't we just talk to Kim Jong-Un instead?

    Gun violence is down significantly in the past 20 years.

    I’m fine with certain gun restrictions, but screaming “NRA Eleventy!!!!!,” “Fuck your thoughts and prayers!” is counterproductive.

    Not saying this applies to you. You have offered numerous ideas. You’re an outlier, though.

    Yeah, except this one actually is a right. Legally.

    That's why I am a strong proponent of repealing the Second Amendment.

    Are we blaming the EU for North Korea’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon?
