#gun ban

guns should be banned and if you think otherwise you're mentally ill, have a nice day

Banning guns for civilians does not take them away from the government nor remove them from the world, hope this helps 👍

Judge SHUTS DOWN Democrat Gun Ban In New Mexico, We Are WINNING

The pattern of addressing issues in the US are all the same. Criminalize and legally restrict access to something associated with obvious problems, that everyone agrees on as issues. However the focus of decreasing those issues are on what seems common sense to see as the root cause. Like guns, or substances.

But criminalizing shit only creates a need for underground pathways to access shit, and usually the most harmful to use restricted shit are people of privilege who may not have it easier to get access to something, but is less likely to be hindered by the 🐖 in their pursuit or possession of contraband.

If you wanna alleviate social issues related to things like gun or substance use, or violence in general, you have to change the cause of it and the cause of the intensity which increases over time.

But making it illegal sure as shit don't work.

Not even close to hypocrisy.

You could take two seconds to formulate an actual criticism next time, maybe.

Hypocrisy much, Child-Molester-In-chief?!

And no toasters, either.

As expected, the MAGA dead-enders who showed up for disgraced former president Donald Trump's rally at the Waco, TX airport last Saturday were forced to endure an hour and a half of him whining and complaining about being held to account for his crimes. But they were additionally subject to a long list of items that attendees were not allowed to bring to the event. These included chairs, coolers, selfie sticks, drones, structures (?), balloons, balls, banners and (for reasons unknown) toasters.

Also on the list of banned items were firearms. This is not surprising because the Secret Service routinely prohibits guns at venues where protectees like current or former presidents will be in attendance. Still, it seems an odd directive in a no-permit, open-carry, gun-crazed state like Texas.

It was the same at the NRA Convention in Houston last year, held only three days after the mass shooting at an Uvalde elementary school where 18 students and two adults were killed. At the conference's leadership forum — described as "one of the most politically significant and popular events in the country" and whose speakers included an array of ardent 2A defenders, like Trump, Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz and South Dakota governor Kristi Noem — guns were banned there as well. And this was an affair sponsored by an organization whose solution to gun violence is that people should buy more guns!

When a white supremacist opened fire at Black patrons of a grocery store in upstate New York last year, Florida fuehrer Ron DeSantis mocked the idea of gun-free zones. And Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, claimed, "97.8% of public mass shootings since 1950 have occurred in gun-free zones." (A bald-faced lie, of course.)

Nevertheless, DeSantis's "Unite & Win" rallies last year, sponsored by Kirk's TPUSA, strictly prohibited guns at every one of its events. DeSantis, who supports an open carry law for the Sunshine Reich, even wanted them banned from his election-night victory celebration at the city-run Tampa Convention Center. The spineless hypocrite just didn't want anyone to know it was him. Chase Finch, safety and security manager at the center, wrote to other city employees that “it sounds like they want us to say it’s our policy to disallow firearms within the event space if anyone asks.”

Republicans are fine with people openly brandishing guns in schools, churches, bars, parks, movie theaters and your local Walmart. Only not when their own safety is at risk. They don't care if we get murdered. Just as long as it's not them.

The difference between Democrats and Republicans:

Gus Walz, at age 17, saw his Dad, Tim Walz, up on stage, ready to accept his party's nomination for vice president. Gus was so overwhelmed with emotions that he gave his father a standing ovation as he wept. Gus made no attempt to hide or hinder his great joy, pride and love he has for his father.

Democrats celebrated Gus' reaction as a wonderful expression of the close-knit family values in the Walz household. Republicans, however, chose to publicly mock and ridicule the teenager, who is a special needs kid.

Kyle Rittenhouse, at age 17, heard about a Black Lives Matter protest regarding a police shooting in Wisconsin and drove all the way from his home in Illinois with a military-style semi-automatic rifle (the kind often used in mass shootings) to confront the protesters.

As he was threatening people with his assault rifle, brave BLM protesters tried to disarm the gunman. Kyle Rittenhouse killed two unarmed men that night, and by claiming self-defense —he got away with it.

Now, Rittenhouse is a celebrated speaker at Republican events, describing him as a "hero to millions." They give him standing ovations while chanting his name.

To review: Republicans tried to humiliate a teenager with disabilities because he openly expressed the love he has for his family. But, they praise another teenager for shooting to death two unarmed people who would be alive today if Kyle had just left his f*cking assault rifle at home.

The deranged, upside-down "values" of Trump's Republican Party are not just weird, not just perverse —they're dangerous.

Just a reminder. One of, if not the main reason that many people dont want highspeed rail in the United States is the same reason many are opposed to affordable housing and healthcare.

Equality.

A highspeed rail system that ran along the Interstate would allow millions of people economic freedom and opportunities that comes with choosing your employer and housing from essentially anywhere in the country.

The control freaks would absolutely hate it and is why they fight against its construction.

America needs to protect it's schools against guns so children are not slaughtered. The best the way to do that is gun reform

[kihteyu]

The sole fact the US government can come together to ban an app but not come together to do anything that actually benefits Americans is proof enough that they don’t care about us.
