It doesn’t seep in, it’s cultivated by far-right groups that intentionally target children and openly groom them for extremism.

I haven’t even gotten to ask what anti-drone measures they have.

The answer will be “none” because unless they’re ex-military, their entire contribution to any militia is usually “gun”.

Most of them wouldn’t pass fitness requirements nor take orders. Few of them have other skills such as first aid, communication tech or drone piloting.

Even when contributing their gun, you can’t assume they know how to safely and usefully handle a weapon, or that they’re mentally fit for combat, because none of that is a requirement for buying a gun.

It’s a hero fantasy they’ve literally never thought critically about, but it’s supposed to make all the mass shootings worth it.

Unfortunately, that’s not how greed works. They’ll never say “no thanks, we’ve made enough profit from Ukraine”.

Because it turns turns billions in public funds into billions in private profits.

The fact that those profits come at the expense of children’s lives doesn’t worry the oil and gas industries, so why would it worry weapons manufacturers?

So your objection is that they call a mass shooting a mass shooting? What magic number would you like them to use?

It’s cool, we don’t need to, because you’re going to shoot the problem better with your guns, the moment you’ve finished letting the internet know how tough and cool you are.

Probably safe to leave it for a few more summary executions of minorities and domestic terrorist attacks trageting children though right?

This isn’t an 80s action movie, Clyde - come live in the real world for a while, won’t you?

Oh so you’re not going to fix the problem by shooting it now?

Sounds like you went limp the moment you had to offer actual steps for people to follow.

So you basically admit that you have no way of dealing with the most dangerous, most unaccountable, and most thoroughly funded white supremacist institution to ever exist

It’s pretty clear your entire plan is “gun” and honestly, that’s already being too kind to it. You can’t even connect your fantasy to reality, let along make it happen.

Your toxic liberal feel-good morality means squat to me.

Of course it doesn’t, you’re a self-absorbed fuckwit who expects other people to die for their hobby and hero fantasies. I never expected any different.

I just didn’t want your bullshit propaganda infecting anyone with a mind worth changing because the sooner people see through it, the sooner the problem can be fixed.

Not required knowledge to buy a gun.

It doesn’t matter, the pro-gun community will hook them up with either private sales that don’t require a background check or an infinite supply of poorly secured firearms.

After all, executing your family shouldn’t just be for legal gun owners.

And when was the last “school bayonetting”?

I’m aware.

Are we sure he was actually stabbed and didn’t just have a pre-existing condition that caused a hole to open in his stomach, because of all the drugs he was on?

The communities pushing “COVID was a lab leak” the hardest are demonstrably not cured by evidence.

Regardless, there is an important distinction.

You can argue all you like that political systems like communism and socialism may have lead to things like corruption, famine, wars and genocide but ultimately, the people who support those systems are seeking a fairer way to run society for all people and believe in it despite its history.

Head over to the far-right and the genocide is the point. They want “undesirables” to be killed, enslaved or completely repressed.

Yes, the ones that come after major reforms to training and accountability, that you haven’t shot your way to, despite insisting that it’s not just possible, but ideal.

Only of course its not win/win/win because even if that was the solution to gun violence, thousands of people will die before you accomplish it and thousands more will die as you say “damn that didn’t work after all, better move on to some other plan while staunchly opposing gun control”.

It doesn’t matter what gun violence is a symptom of, we always control symptoms as we look for a cure.

This is the country you have now and the problem you have now. I don’t give a fuck if it wasn’t a problem 50 years ago and you don’t think it will be a problem 50 years from now.

… and the pro-gun community did nothing because they hate communists.

Then why aren’t you shooting them? Why isn’t this solved if you have the solution to this problem that’s life or death for so many people?

Is it because your solution doesn’t work? Is it because you want other people to do the dying and life imprisonment? Or is it because you only want to point to the problem to drum up gun sales?

There’s no possible out from here that makes you a good person, let alone a hero.

Got it. We need to sweep domestic terrorism under the rug as “not important” and focus on “lets spend a decade giving healthcare to boomers”

So the issue is that we haven’t given neoliberals enough after giving them everything?
