Heck, even the idiots who say that the solution is to put a gun in everyone’s hands are at least trying to solve the problem. They’re failing horribly, of course, but they’re trying. That’s more than the OP is doing. ---

Yes, by far the biggest middle finger goes to all the resisters who keep telling us this won’t work, that won’t work, they won’t accept the other thing and we risk them coming out shooting if anybody tries, ad nauseam. They’re just telling us that all these murders are simply the cost the rest of us must bear of allowing them to keep their binkies and keep buying more. If you don’t know of any measures to take to address the problem that you would accept, then shut up. The problem is you. ---

Philip J. Fry: So that’s my story, Father Changstein el-Gamahl. Is there anything religion can do? Father Changstein el-Gamahl: Well, we could join together in prayer. Philip J. Fry: Uh-huh, but is there anything\* useful\* we can do? Father Changstein el-Gamahl: No. ---

Woah woah woah how many replies are there? And I can’t even tell how many are satire or not… As far as what would my solutions be? I tried reading California’s gun laws… Maybe they could be tried on nationwide And no I am not trying to troll… if I was I might have added something like “Americans have the IQ of a rock”. Also most mass shootings in general happen anyways in like 3 states for every 5… I have noticed though most barely do happen in the South or incredibly red states… What else I got to say? Teach ourselves to be more careful with our actions and always know the world will be as dangerous as they come. So better always prepare yourself with something. If WW3 is about to happen, remember to be prepared to know what’s coming your way. To Americans, guns are a cultural symbol. That’s why doing comparison with other countries such as the UK or Australia are irrelavant. Also no shit 9/11 was going to be badly politicized, it was two freaking skycrappers that collapsed… ---

I am sick to death of all the “prayers and thoughts” bullshit. I am sick of the “too soon to discuss this” bullshit. I am sick of all the pigs slopping at the gun lobby donations trough. It’s obvious that no laws will ever be enacted or even fine tuned, UNLESS all this gets politicized, and all the money grubbing pigs in office, with their fake prayers and sanctimony are GONE. ---

I mean we could look at whatever state has the least mass shootings and take them for example Discussing gun laws is not simply easy right off the bat. I have no side, I try always reading various gun laws by state and comparing them how they would do in action. I will admit the “Guns kill people” weirdos are just as bad… ---
