Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Neveragain]

Two week waiting period, bam. Maybe he would have done it before, maybe not, but something so simple as divorcing desperation or seeing a firearm as a solution to problems is a massive first step.

It's pretty obvious that you don't have any understanding of psychology. When someone is suffering from mental illness at this level, they are constantly replaying the "plan" in their mind. This can go on for months or years before they act out. Top that off with the hormonal changes that are taking place in the teen years, societal pressure to fit in with ones peers (which has been exasperated by social media) and a dysfunctional family life.

At this point if I still had kids in their teens I would ban them from using any social media and limit their cell phone usage to when they are out to the movies with their friends or whatever the case may be. I probably wouldn't allow them to have a smart phone, just a simple flip phone.

The second would be changing the way that politicians and the media point to Representatives on the other side as the devil incarnate. You should not lead by acting as if you're the only thing standing in between your political rivals enacting the final Purge against your constituents. To me that is high treason and yet increasingly common in today's political climate, which only leads to increased fear, desperation, and a belief that violence is the only way out.

You need to look in the mirror.

when do you think, culturally on a whole, the breakdown of the nuclear family started? like what decade

Late 70's to early 80's. Prior to the financial crisis at that time it was less common that both parents were working full time jobs, when the shit hit the fan nearly everyone's parents went full time. We literally have a term for that generation of kids "key latch kids". This is also when divorces started to skyrocket.

Yeah, I didn't expect any common sense from you whatsoever. Thanks for trying.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Seran talking about common sense, that's special.

As more and more details about the Uvalde school shooting come out, their local police is appearing worse and worse. Despite officers being engaged with the shooter for twelve minutes outside the school, per Texas Department of Public Safety, the shooter was allowed unobstructed access to the school. Twelve minutes and a police officer, or school resource officer was able to stop one untrained teen with a semiautomatic rifle. Imagine if that community had braver officers, or instead of simple handguns, they weren't out armed by a kid who bought a rifle at a local shop without a waiting period. Sad.

The real heroes were the United States Border Patrol who as soon as they arrived on scene, stormed the school and stopped the killer before he harmed anyone else. Republicans, especially Governor Abbott need to realize the next time they're bloviating about people crossing the border, that the federal government and border patrol officers were the only thing keeping more from dying.

By all means, let's detract from the fact he gunned down a bunch of children with a semiautomatic purchased easier than a can of spray paint, and question the parents.

You’re the same fucker who cheered the fact that the white school shooter’s parents were arrested and charged with multiple counts of manslaughter, but now we can’t ask questions about the brown school shooter’s parents, or how his grandparents supposedly didn’t notice he had guns in the house?

You’re such a disgusting racist.

The FBI has been researching the psyche of mass murders for nearly 50 years. This is information directly from the mouths of the most renowned killers in US history.

It's already been reported that this kid was torturing\killing pets. Yet another common profile of mass murders.

By the time this is all sorted out, I promise that we will find out that he had been profiling that school months ahead of committing the atrocity. A two week waiting period would have already been factored into his thoughts.

I don't have anything against a waiting period, I just know it won't prevent the next mass murder.

[Tgo01]

So now they're saying the murderer was firing his gun outside at the school for 12 MINUTES before he entered the school unobstructed (before the police claimed the school resource officer tried to stop him), and that he was in the room shooting up kids for ALMOST AN HOUR while the police waited outside and handcuffed parents until the Border Patrol showed up and ended this piece of shit's life.

What the ever fucking fuck?

And Democrats want to take away YOUR guns and tell you to rely on the police to protect you. Fuck that shit. Allow teachers to conceal carry. Don't make schools a soft target and tell teachers and students "Don't worry! Just survive for an hour and maybe the police will finally send in help!"

At an hour of unhindered carnage the psycho didn't even need a gun, he could have slaughtered those kids with a crossbow while the police were standing outside waiting.

Practical way forward? One side wants deadly weapons controlled, with background checks, wait periods and further red flag control. The other believes that will destroy society outright, that the government is trying to get them and any and all existing restrictions must be lifted. Just where is the compromise in /your/ opinion. Bear in mind, more innocents die here by gun violence than any other first world country with the status quo as it exists now.

Per your own words, you want all sorts of shit banned, so shut the fuck up.

Ban sales of any and all semi automatic rifles, combat shotguns and of course reinforce fully automatic sales. Make bump stocks and extended, high capacity clips a felony to possess, transport or sale.

And "high capacity clips"

You fucking doorknob.

Supposedly, some of those same cops ran inside to get their own kids out first.

This particular shooting should be centered around police malice/incompetence, instead of a gun debate. If they're too chicken shit to run inside and do the job they're paid to do, don't stop the parents from doing so. Dumbasses.
