Man this is crazy the more info that comes out. My thoughts the more I read stuff online:
-Gun control is desperately needed. There is no need for assault rifles.
Yaaay, I said the right thing I’m politically correct. But guess what, cocaine, heroine, meth, all illegal yet all trillion dollar industries. If I wanted any of the above I could get it easily. So…it can’t all be on gun control! You can ban ALL guns tomorow and mfers gon figure out how to get ‘em. That brings me to my next point..
-We are fukked as a society. Bc we are so politicized and polarized that we can’t even publicly agree on a single point the other side says, can’t bring nuanced thought if it veers away from party lines or twitter.
-Problem solving 101 tells you you go after the root of the problem, the cause, not just address the symptom. Idgaf what side says it: Guns are part of the problem but it is not that root of the problem. No one shoots up a school simply bc they have access to an assault rifle. They shoot up a school bc they’re evil and dimented, THAT is what we need to figure out, and that figuring out needs to be aimed at what kids are ingesting. We will NEVER have a day where someone who’s evil enough to want to kill children wakes up and says ‘damn I wanted to kill kids but I can’t get a gun’.
-Thats the american flaw. Ie We won’t revamp how we eat to get ahead of the problem, we just create more drugs and surgeries to fix you after the problem. That’s what blindly screaming gun control sounds like to me
