The degeneration of society: gun violence

[LJB]

Chengis did not have the use of gun powder and he thinks our tiny little numbers are adorable…

I thought it was bad enough that people wanted to live like it is 1776, now we got one that thinks 1176 is the way to go.  I suppose we should count our blessings, as that is progressive by comparison to the 6th century folks.

Bamboo shack, Jamaican beach. That’s all I’m sayin

Has nothing to do about wanting to go back to the 12th century… It has everything to do with people whining about living in the safest time that has ever existed on this planet…

People shouldn't whine about the murder of children.  They murdered 'em all back in the day.

They dropped the cats and dogs back then as well… You all don’t know how good you got it…

Guns have always been readily available to the lawless. Know matter what laws you pass the lawless will have their guns.  Taking guns away from law abiding citizens will never affect the lawless. Actually the lawless love gun laws.

Not always. As I posted - there was a time when guns weren't readily available to everyone.

That was the point of my post. Maybe read it again.

When guns became readily available to anyone - the lawless were able to obtain them. And the scenario changed. And it hasn't changed much since then. (Again, that was in my 1st post.)

There's no hidden message here about passing laws that take away guns. The original message was simple and clear.

And you're right, the lawless do love gun laws - now that they are able to obtain them easily.

...or maybe the most dangerous time that has ever existed. Depends on your perspective.

Yah, yah, I know - I'm "adorable"... you should post a GIF.

Maybe check with Ukrainians on that 'categorically false' tidbit - it most definitely isn't the "safest time that has ever existed on this planet" for them.

Wait, where's the GIF? Slowing down in your old age? C'mon Blackbird, you can do it.

Really…

like awful at whatever your are wanting out if this…

I remember your PM months ago begging to not get into with me and now you are doing just a horrible job at trying to get a rise…

you just are not capable enough…

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I care so little about this convo, no associated goal. Which is good - because nothing is being accomplished.

More curious about where you think you are going with it. Which I've already made clear.

Careful here - you seem to be crossing that line from weird but not dumb - to weird and dumb.

There's no conspiracy theory around this corner. Maybe check the next one.

Seriously…

you have an agenda but are not near capable enough to even know how to go about it…

Good luck, brother…

It used to be that the mentally ill were placed in psychiatric hospitals. Now they can be a brand ambassador for a multinational corporation. Or shoot up schools if they're not incarcerated (i.e. white).

Perhaps we should address how, as a society, we deal with mental illness rather than clamoring to take away the one thing standing in the way from us degenerating into a fat, stupid version of China.

Or address going through life fat, drunk and stupid.

I think this is something interesting to look into.   Right now, it is next to impossible to get a person committed.  

Thanks Theo!
