20 people die in a weekend in Chicago because there are millions of people in Chicago. As a percent, you’re far safer there than in any red area. E.g. 3.2/100,000 gun deaths in Massachusetts, but it’s ten times higher in blood red Mississippi.

300 cops in Uvalde couldn’t do anything against a teen with a rifle except wet themselves. What’s a Korean War vet with a M1 garand going to do that hundreds of currently employed tacticool police couldn’t do?

Every other country has figured this out. Sorry if you don’t like the solution to the problem, but we’ve tried everything else. Especially ignoring it.

My other argument towards you, is this, we need a game plan that is realistic and getting rid of the second amendment is not going to happen anytime soon in the United States, it just fucking won’t. Getting rid of the Second Amendment is a pipe dream of Democrats.

Only worked for Australia and every other country that tried.

Keep sticking your head in the sand, though. That’ll bring back those two kids who died in Colorado on Wednesday.

Go far enough left and keep your guns but mental health seriously needs real spending, real solutions that are actually enacted. Fully funded, comprehensive health care, including mental, would solve most of our problems. Not overnight. But I guess within five years, the results would be astounding.

I support bringing back mental institutions like they had in the old days but with modern over recite so that we don’t see the same abuse as before

That's enlightening. I'm not interested anymore, thanks.

Those cops were absolute cowards

First of all the Korean war was 75 years ago I don’t think 100 year-old man is gonna be guarding a school anytime soon. Second of all the idea that there are people in that school that would act would deter most people, and I think that it would make a difference vs needing someone to call the police and then a slow response time with pussy cops, waiting for orders from their chief of police who’s busy eating a doughnut and taking a shit

I think we’ll end with your “no true Scotsman.”

Good night.
