This is just an unsolvable problem in America until it happens to the child of a politician or wealthy parents. Guns play a role in school shootings, but they arenât the source of the problem.
We continue to love guns more than kids.
Thoughts and prayers.

Your use of âlolâ always puzzles me.

Amazes you? Puzzles you? what is it
In a perfect world, I support a weapons ban by force. However, we donât live in a perfect world do we?
The second amendment is in place for a reason. Though I agree that âgovernment tyrannyâ no longer really applies, I think the right to own firearms gives power to the people, especially the middle and lower class to keep the wealthy and elites in check. If the day ever comes where this country goes to s**t, the wealthy will just gobble up every resource possible and the poor wouldnât stand a chance.
Politicians should compromise instead of trying to demand changes that are unrealistic and will never happen, such as banning AR15s

Yes. Nothing is funny about this or many other things you laugh at.
And people can find both this and whatâs happening in Chicago as terrible. But one involves clearly innocent children so easy to see why it gets more attention.

I laugh at the hypocrisy, because to me, it is funny

First, itâs not hypocritical to be outraged by what happened today. Iâm disturbed if anyone isnât.
Second, nothing funny about this at all.

Perhaps my âLolâ(s) are more laughing in anger. Is that a better explanation?
These situations are not funny, and Iâm not laughing at the situations. As Iâve said, I laugh at the hypocrisy.
Chicago violence (or any inner-city violence) hardly gets any attention when it comes to gun control. Itâs always school shootings or any mass shootings.
Inner city kids are innocent too, but they are products of their environment. Urban sprawl along with scaled car manufacturing since the 50s, was largely a way for families (mostly white) to escape (white flight) inner cities while making it legally impossible for black people to live in their same neighborhoods.
As a result of multi-generations of legal racism, you have the effects which are outlined today as inner-city violence, which continues to happen because as Iâve said many, many times, American Capitalism is and continues to be racist.
And donât tell me that the inner city violence and school shootings are not correlated. They are correlated because again, nobody says a word about gun control when it comes to inner city violence or the poverty that results in violence which is a direct result of systemic racism.
Why are you angry at @CgrBkr? Why do you call him a hypocrite?
Youâre assuming much.
I donât know for sure but my guess is itâs not as tight as you think. Do you have anything showing the correlation?
As for the rest of your post, no one is ignoring anything. Inner city violence is hardly ignored. You posted a link proving otherwise.
And youâre spinning this convo into all kinds of places.
Canât shoot without a gun, so yes they are
the problem. We have had 57 times more school shootings than all other western industrialized countries combined.
Itâs relatively recently we allowed the perverted interpretation of what the second
amendment says. Fix that first then you can go about putting reasonable laws in place and we can go back to the way it used to be.

He rolls out Chicago, just as many do, ignoring other parts of what they think is a point they are making. What happens in any city and the loss of life due to gun violence is always horrible.
But schools are where our kids go to learn. It should be where they are protected, yet we keep failing them.
Yet, we value guns more than kids.
âThoughts and prayersâ yet another phrase tossed out as a default by politicians with no real intent to change or fix anything.

Iâm pretty sure it already has happened to them.
Perhaps? That isnât very definite. Perhaps youâre not laughing in anger, perhaps youâre mocking the victims?
If youâre laughing in anger, lol is the wrong phrase (?) to use. Though I donât know that there is one for laughing in anger, also at the moment Iâm not sure I can think of any situation Iâve seen or experienced where someone or I laughed in anger. So perhaps (that word again) it is just you.
Using lol is just inappropriate the way you use it as it gives the impression you find these issues a laughing matter or funny. It just looks like youâre mocking the victims. I would recommend not using lol in these type of contexts as it is perhaps not what you mean (or is it)?
I know that I find you hard to take seriously when you are using lol the way you tend to use it in serious subjects. Perhaps that doesnât matter to you, perhaps it does.

Politicians from both sides have been shot in the face. If that doesnât do it, not sure anything will change opinions.
