Gun Control - Blog Posts
Whelp I just heard what was either a gunshot or a car backfiring and I want to go home now, america is so fun
When I was in highschool, the “weird kid” was a guy who thought he was a vampire werewolf hybrid. He was aggressive and hostile, and the people who tried to be nice to him,(myself included) saw first hand how psychotic he was. He choked one of my friends, tried to attack a girl I hung out with, ran around campus snarling at people and jumping off roofs, and constantly got into fights with anyone who so much as talked back to him.
Saying that the victims from Parkland shooting are at fault because they didn’t befriend the shooter is incredibly short sided and a perfect example of victim blaming. Sometimes the weird kid is toxic and violent, or racist and homophobic. Nobody should have to be forced or guilted into bringing that type of toxicity into their lives.
Also, please don’t pretend that you really care about the weird kid all of a sudden. We all can see that you are trying whatever bs tactic you can think of to distract from the bigger issue at hand; gun violence and gun control in America.
STOP BLAMING THE VICTIMS AND STOP TRYING TO BULLY KIDS INTO SILENCE!
ALSO GUNS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL
Like completely, cops shouldn’t have them no one should have them, they’re used to kill, not for defense not to protect something but to kill people. There have been more mass shootings in 2024 then there are days in 2024 so far. That’s inexcusable. Oh but the criminals will just find a way to get them anyway, maybe, doesn’t mean we have to make it easy for them, also every mass shooting in America was done by people who got the guns legally, it’s almost like laws do something, and for the whole they’ll get guns from Mexico thing, 90 percent of the guns in Mexico are from America, and sure gun violence is potentially more prominent in places with stricter gun control, they get the guns from other states with worse gun control, and when you have a gun and no one else does that leads to some deaths, and for those who say what about if the government becomes tyrannical and we have to fight back, ideally they wouldn’t have guns either but also you really think you’re going to win against the drones and bombs and nukes and tanks and weapons of destruction that could wipe out cities in seconds, if you support the idea of people having guns then you support the idea of people being shot
Remember, they only win when you give up, don’t let them win
I was watching spanish channel news and the anchor said "until something changes we will be waiting here to report on the next massacre" and those words hit me so hard
All across the United States, Americans are embracing their inner “Roof Korean”
In an attempt to protect their own property and/or their community’s property, Americans of all races are coming together to help defend their lively hood from looters and criminals in several major cities in the US.
If you own property I suggest you create some sort of deterrence to prevent the destruction of your property. If you don’t but you own firearms and love your community, find ways to volunteer to help protect the helpless.

In the United States 🇺🇸, there are 2 sides of the aisle on the resolve of gun violence – gun deaths that killed tens of thousands every year or firearm injury that affects up to 70,000 yearly).
One advocates for more gun control (common sense), while another believes in more gun rights. The latter may sound counter-intuitive, but with proper research, I realised their belief is justified.
There is only 156 mass shootings in 2016, and a total deaths of ~800
Unlike the partisan narrative that some try to push, gun violence is less severe than how it is purported. This allows the Conservatives to dismiss statistics as “rubbish” and biased. Most of the gun violence deaths are suicidals, and mental health is a whole new category. Even if gun is banned, and a person determined to self-kill, it won’t stop the person from doing so.
Gun Right advocates also believe that more guns could be more effective in stopping mass shootings. For example, in the event of a rogue actor trying to carry out mass killing in the public, an armed Samaritan could come out to quash the shooter while waiting for police’s arrival. This helps to mitigate casualties and fatal deaths. Here are some real-world cases of aforementioned possibility.
As a result, unless guns are universally banned in the country and rigorously enforced, partial or compromises are ineffective and counterproductive to gun violence homicides or mass shootings.
Nonetheless, Gun Right advocates are also hell-bent on the solution of more guns to reduce gun violence deaths. Opposition would point to the success model of Japan and Australia of eliminating gun deaths by banning it and gun buyback programs to reduce firearms in circulation as their statistics. Unfortunately, Gun Rights also have their own statistics to substantiate their point.
If you look carefully, more guns ownership have no correlation to more gun deaths.
It is just the way of how we present the same piece of information.
Hence, that is why Gun Right advocates think to the contrary of the rest of the world and maybe this phenomenon is caused by the fact that criminals do not voluntarily relinquish their access to firearms and therefore an inadequate gun buyback or restriction program will instead put those law-abiders in greater danger. Gun prohibition is only effective in the long-term.
how many more fucking kids have to die in school because these selfish ass lawmakers don’t see the the importance of making stricter gun laws
It's funny how...
Teens these days can probably name more mass/school shootings than presidents. Ha.
“guns don’t kill people, people kill people”
when’s the last time you saw someone strangle 58 people in less than 15 minutes, steve?

Knife attacks DO kill. These are just a few links showing different attacks. Both groups of people and individual people CAN kill with knives. I don’t care if you want stricter gun laws or not, but don’t act like everyone can defend themselves.
No one got hurt in this attack. Because the attacker did not use a weapon that can mow down people in seconds… it also didn’t happen in the US.

'How Dare You': Katie Porter Clashes With Pro-Gun Witness After Accusing...
Katie Porter is someone I fully support being a representative for the people. I’m not of her state, so I can’t vote for her specifically, but time and time again she exhibits the best lawmaker behavior for making this country a better place. She proves her point and highlights these evil and manipulative people in their lies and turns it on them.
Also, fully support we move towards more consumer protection for all dangerous products. Her point makes so much sense as to why any sort of manufacturer should have any immunity at all?
I don't know the source but it sounds like a plausible approach.
February 14th, 2018
A year ago today, for the next few hours, Emma Gonzalez was giving out hugs and flowers, and love for Valentine’s Day; by the end of the day that would not be the case, by the end of the day a girl still full of love would also be filled (with what I presume) with fury.
A year ago today 17 people lost their lives due to a domestic terror incident at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school in Parkland, Florida. Now, at 10:17 the students and local community are participating in a moment of silence for those lost and the country should be reflecting on how they are impacted by gun violence not just at schools but at home, in malls and out when you’re just trying to enjoy your day and your US Constitution idea of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”.
The end of the day, February 14th 2018, was very different than the MSD students and Parkland community expected when they woke up that morning, many who will never be waking up the same way again but that sentiment at the end of the day remains true. The students’ promised that they would be the end of gun violence and mass shootings and they are doing everything in their power to do so. Along with record-breaking youth voter turnout, the No Notoriety campaign, the Town Hall Project that encourages citizens to attend and meet with local politicians (and not vote for those who they can’t meet with) and the March for Our Lives walk that reminded many of the Vietnam War youth protests, over 100 new laws have been enacted related to gun violence where guns are limited to those who have shown a propensity of violence, a limit on assault rifles and bump stocks and many more. The students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas have made a great impact on gun violence in the US, even just by keeping us talking. But again, now at 10:17, we take a breath, a moment for those these actions were made for:

17 minutes
Today at 10 am local time across the US, students, teachers, staff will be walking out for of their schools. 17 minutes, one minute for each of the 17 victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting that occurred four weeks ago. These 17 minutes are not a distraction or disruption of their day. More time is lost to these students every year for the drills hoping to prevent these tragedies and the news outbreaks when they occur
It has been four weeks since the MSD shooting and two weeks since they returned to school where on their first day back news broke out that a teacher in Georgia brought a gun to his school, locked himself in his classroom and contemplated suicide. So today they walk out, today they march, not just as symbolism or a performance or as a statement. They are showing the adults how big this problem is, how far it spreads, all of those whom it impacts. It doesn’t just affect the students who survived the shooting, had to sit in their classrooms wondering if this was it; or the family members who lost their children, cousins, sisters, brothers, their parents and those who lost their friends. The intense gun drills that aim to sacrifice themselves for others when a shooter has entered their classroom and how to be quiet in your greatest, hour-long moments of fear has become part of their lives, part of their school prep like fire drills and the bomb drills of World War II
This affects everyone, and that’s part of why today they walk out, they March; because this is so important to them and so vital to them and their lives. We can’t say that children are too young to understand when they are the ones literally taking the hits for it. We cannot say their opinions are invalid or that they don’t know, that we know better and are taking care of them and are handling things for them while passing over a true epidemic that is killing and terrorizing them.
These 17 minutes are a request for thoughts and prayers; thoughts of those that lost their lives, prayers that they are at peace, both to be followed by real action. This isn’t about concert tickets, clothes, or youtube stars. You could see the bodies they had to pass on their way out when it was finally over, their classmates, their friends; because when it was finally over, it had just begun. And they are saying that enough is enough.
So this is a statement, they cannot vote but are supposed to be protected by us and we should be voting with them in mind. If we say their opinions are not valid or misinformed than we should be working with them, but we’re not because their opinions are not wrong or invalid and we are failing them by letting this continue. They are reminding us that we have the power to protect them and we need to step it up.
In the most three weeks since the shooting (February 21st until now) some of the tags that pop under Florida related to the MSD shooting have disappeared, but Parkland and Gun Control are still up there. It will not leave and this will not leave them.
