Because once a room full of six year olds were gunned down and the over-all reaction was “thoughts and prayers” and not decisive, impactful, and immediate legislation, that was the end of the gun control debate.
There you go again - politicizing a Lemmy thread. This is a time for solemn prayer and quiet contemplation on how to answer OP's question, not radical leftist agenda of answering questions with...answers. Urgh.
Who is politicising this thread? The previous commenter didn't mention specific political affiliation... But you bring "radical leftist" to the discussion for some reason.
Sorry, I was being sarcastic 😅
Oh, sorry, In the current world it is really difficult to tell sarcasm from genuine stupidity
Haha fair enough
This is the era where you can't even tell if the onion is fake or not.
Good old Poes law.
That person's exact phrasing was how the right responded to any attempt to come up with a solution to a recent mass gun violence episode
