I'm just saying let's do something. Let's go after the white supremacists and let's have an assault weapons ban.
Agreed.That ban isn't gonna happen. Democrats would have to be in control of all three branches of government.
Damn I might have to vote for once if they really try to ban guns
No matter the angle, the video game argument does not hold weight. Could it desensitize someone, yes, but only to seeing violence.the video game argument isn’t to say that it makes you a shooter, it’s to say it has desensitized players...
remember modern warfare and the airport massacre? I had the original game when it was apart of the opening to the game... they’ve since removed it... I felt like crap playing that opening scene that I didn’t shoot after the first few seconds... there’s other ppl who happily took part of that scene and shot the ppl...
it’s the amount of shooters like that that have desensitized ppl... is it a coincidence that these dudes played games like this and happened to be the men involved in mass shootings? again, it’s not that the make MAKES you the shooter... that’s not the point.
But in the mean time, why not restrict access to the easiest, most deadly things used to kill?I think we're having the wrong discussion...
Guns and access to them no matter what kind aren't the problem. Just because you have weapons or access to them doesn't mean the population is going to use them on each other.
The problem seems to be white people and in particular white males. Not just white supremacists but regular ass suburban middle class or rural white people.
We keep mentioning white supremacy but a good number of these shootings are not white supremacists but they are white males from young to old.
Maybe a serious discussion should be why are white people (not all white people but when these mass murders happen they're almost always white) so prone to this type of behavior?
And for the the future of all living things on the planet, what can we do about it?
Even if you take away all the guns that wouldn't change the fact that there are white people who would find other means to manifest their nature. Remember that evil mf who drove his car into a crowd of people? No gun was needed for that.
The fact is evil people will find a way to weaponise anything.
Creating policies don't change the hearts or minds of the people. It usually only reinforces their beliefs.
What are we gonna do about white people?
But in the mean time, why not restrict access to the easiest, most deadly things used to kill?
