I’m new to Lemmy, and trying to get a gauge on the community. Unfortunately, it seems that it’s just gonna be another heavily left wing website, but hoping that the smaller pockets of users will be reasonable.

What are the issues that the Conservative community here cars about most?

    AR-15 style assault weapons,

    What do you mean by this?

    Semi autos?

    Scary looking rifles?

    Long barrels?

    Their kids don’t have “active shooter” drills

    We literally had gun clubs at school without these issues. It’s clearly not a gun problem, it’s that our young adults and kids aren’t mentally healthy or getting the help they need. The school system is failing, and our society encouraging single parent households is causing a lot of these problems, too.

    My daughter is scared to death of going to school

    And your daughter is a child and looks at things childishly. The only reason she should be scared is if it’s over reported and over exposed to people. The chances of being in a school shooting is extremely extremely extremely low. If she was more reasonable and had an adult to help her understand life, she’d be more scared of dying in the car ride to school.

    and I don’t blame her

    Without knowing fully your parenting style, I’d blame you. Somewhere, your child has become overly anxious of an extremely unlikely scenario. Should we ban any metal post above 10 ft tall because some kids are scared of being struck by lightning?

      Ah, I see, In your head banning military style weapons of mass death is equated to banning everything. Got it. It’s difficult to have discussions with somebody so simple minded.

      idiot. My daughter’s school had four lockdowns due to active shooter alerts in the last school year alone.

      You’re lost cause, I’ll stop responding now…
