The problem is that there is no solution because neither the right or left establishment want to fix the problem via compromise. Gun control is a voting mechanism for both parties.
Invest more in the police force to protect schools. Mandate metal detectors at all entrances. Mandate a federal law to reinforce all doorways with extra locking protection. Reinforce to children to never allow outside visitors to enter the school premises no matter what.
There are solutions, but the problem is the left doesnât want anything thatâs considered a compromise because it risks losing voters to the right, and the right constantly tries to reinforce how the left wants to threaten the second amendment full stop.
Rap music was invented by the black community in New York City, largely because they had no other way to express their frustrations. And yes, capitalism allowed white record label executives to capitalize off of the black experience.
Comparing the US to other countries is a stupid argument to make because every countryâs culture and history is unique to itself.
And logic error. On one hand youâre making this crazy premise âthey knowâ (the rich ) and then you turnaround and say
âAmericans refuse to ever believe this happensâ
I throw out improvement suggestions in every one of these threads, every time this happens. None of them avoid taking away all guns or even assault style weapons from everyone.
And yet, the next thread comes and someone asks for them again as if they havenât been discussed.
I also say itâs not about completely fixing the problem. Thatâs impossible. We can improve it though. We donât not do things because you canât completely fix it. Thatâs silly.
How is it a conspiracy? Itâs literally happening as we speak.
The wealth gap between the rich and the poor (along with a stagnant middle class) is getting wider and wider to unsustainable levels.
Capitalism completely ignores externalities, including the climate. Earth will continue to experience more heat waves and natural disasters. The man-made altering of our ecosystems will have tremendous effects on multiple industries such as agriculture.
Iâm not optimistic that we will curb climate change before the effects start to really happen. Too many people want to keep climbing the social ladder, and the wealthy do not want to compromise their privilege and comfort.
If we take away more power from people, one of them being the ability to purchase firearms including AR15s, then yes, it is something that the wealthy would not have to worry about if a time of civil crisis ever comes. Allowing the poor and middle class to purchase firearms, gives them some power.
And as far as I remember, I agree with most of your solutions. But as Iâve said, neither the right or left establishment really want this issue fixed via compromise because itâs way to polarizing of an issue, where they will lose voters to the other side.
Kamala, Biden, Obama, etc⊠want to ban assault weapons. Thatâs never going to happen again and they know this. As far as red flag laws or increasing the age to purchase, I am in complete support of this. Georgia shooter was 14.
Trump, Bush, or any republican politician are major supporters of the second amendment (despite trump probably never firing anything more than a hunting rifle in his life) largely because of the NRA and other lobbies
It seems to me the right is far less likely to compromise in this situation. Some wonât give on anything due to how they view the second amendment.
I used to be further right on this issue but I just canât be anymore based on what we keep seeing in our schools. I have an 8 and 10 year old so this issue really hits home with me.
Itâs time for some common sense on this issue (and that doesnât mean ban everything).
Similar here, 3 in age range 5-14. Itâs hard to stomach the inaction and defeatist attitudes displayed by some here with wild
theories that guns are necessary for the poor to keep the rich in place. Dude should be writing fiction movies or has seen too many.
