here is what we actually do if we want to stop mass shootings:
0. we don't make mental health harder for the majority of americans to get help if they need it. really, get fucked republicans, don't shed your bullshit crocodile tears for this shit. mental health problem my fucking ass. your bullshit stops here.
0a. we don't make it illegal for non-partisan government agencies from studying gun violence. NRA eat fucking shit.
1. we end loopholes for background checks, the vast majority of Americans support this, even a majority of republicans support this.
2. we enact a law by which law enforcement has a mechanism to take possession of guns (with court order), from folks who are known to be violent, and have mental issues.
3. instead of spending 30 million dollars on trump jerking off to our millitary, or 30 BILLION dollars on a totally pointless wall that will do absolutly nothing to stop illegal immigration ... we spend some actual money on researching the problem. ie, we collect a databased gun incidents, accidents, murders, etc etc the way we do car accidents. we interview and physco analyze anyone who does this shit. you know ... we perform science. over 40 years we did this with car accidents, and we have vastly safer roads as a result. we chaged how we train drivers, we changed how we designed cars, we figured out ways to manage traffic more effectively ... all cause the power of big data analysis. no such data exists for gun violence. instead of bullshiting around here, what features on guns, what methods and supply chains, etc etc etc ... we just like actually study it. you know, with science.
4. we do what the scientists say, regardless of political bullshit.
there, solved your fucking problem. now, lets put all the bullshit notions of guns stopping tyrants, and veiled bullshit about your hobby being more important than kids lives ... and we just fix it. im sick of this bullshit. and im sorry you will be slightly inconvenienced the next time you buy a gun, really i am, but get the fuck over yourself. sorry, you can spend an extra day or two getting your 12th fucking gun, so that maybe some kid somewhere can go home to his mother again.
i do not mean this directed at any single poster here. i mean this generally to anyone supporting such bullshit arguments.
