I often hear excuses from US pro gun people who say stuff like: "yeah but not everywhere is unsafe" and "mass shootings don't happen all the time everywhere"But the thing is..The fact that it DOES HAPPEN is insane :amaze: Just because it didn't happen near you THIS time doesn't mean it's okay.. Sorry but wtf..

@stux This person is living proof that "a good guy with a gun" doesn't exist. He was trained in gun safety... He TRAINED gun safety, and now look at what he did. As long as the Constitution exists as it does, this will continue. A full-on Constitutional Convention is required.

@stux If it happened all the time everywhere, they'd be living in a warzone. I can't understand the mentality that "we can only change things when it gets to daily nightmare status." 🤦♀️

@stux Sometimes I think it comes from people being so darn overwhelmed & depressed for economic & social reasons... that 'one more problem to solve' is just unbearable.At least that's my most optimistic take.

@stux also, shootings don't need to happen all the time to be traumatizing. Just ask the children who (since as early as kindergarten) have to go through shooter drills at school.

@stux Yesterday I called both my US senators & state governor to say "Do Something!" I have one good senator, the other is a total Trump tool, my state #Ohio governor signed a law so that teachers may keep guns in their classrooms. 😔

@stux But the #massshootings do happen all the time. I'm fairly certain I saw a stat that we averaged more then 1 per day. It's unacceptable, yet accepted. According to the new #speakerofthehouse Mike Johnson, more prayer can prevent gun violence...

@stux There's no way it will change through the normal way. The only way it will change (without resorting to a violent revolution the left will lose) is through a convention. that redefines gun laws, or one that defines secession.

@stux My dad is a gun collector, so I've been around "2A absolutists" all my life. What most people don't understand is that expecting these people to give up the #2A is like expecting people like me to willingly give up the 1A.But both the #1A and the #2A can have restrictions. Rapidfire assault weapons IMHO are no different than yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater (endangering many innocent people in an instant.) There IS a solution: #TaxGunpowder #TaxCordite #MaineShooting

@stuxThe pro-gun crowd never argues in good faith. It's best to ignore them, or at least pay attention to the real work their rhetoric is doing: https://zirk.us/@DontMindMe/111301501318036443

@stux This one is literally up the street from me. We're still locked down, they haven't caught the guy.Our state senators voted earlier this week to make it easier for veterans with mental health issues to obtain guns.You can't make this stuff up

@stux Not just that.I live in #NYC. This is an American city, governed under #US laws, and any American can come here to visit or to reside. We have our share of criminals, and more than our share of nutcases.But it’s the safest big city in the #USA. That’s ENTIRELY because pretty much the only ones here with #firearms are #cops.That’s the only major relevant difference between NYC and other US cities.That’s the power of strong #GunControl laws. #USPol#USPolitics
