I wear a mask because if the experts are correct, I could potentially prevent someone from getting sick and dying. If the experts are wrong, the most I’m out is the inconvenience of wearing a piece of fabric on my face. I often wonder who raised some of y’all.

Did you just call Scott Charles “boy” .. while arguing the 2A intent wasn’t racist? 😬

assumption I guess. Maybe your non binary.

Some people would refuse to entertain an opinion about what’s racist and what’s not from someone who calls a 55-year-old Black man “boy.” I’m some people.

Of course they weren’t. But you also know that fact doesn’t make the second, racist. You’re a smart boy but you can’t hustle everyone with that rhetoric

Go after people with mental illness how, Brent? And why? People with mental illness account for a very small proportion of perpetrators of mass shootings in the U.S. P.S. 100% of mass shooters share one thing in common: Guns.

Let me ask you a question: After the penning of the Second Amendment — a compromise to reassure southern states that congress would not try to undermine slavery by disarming the militias that were vital to maintaining it — were southern Blacks allowed to own guns?

I’m not sure how to break this to you, but if we’re the only country on earth with the right to bear arms, it’s not “God given.” It’s a thing a bunch of slaveowners came up with. Seriously, look it up.

A humble consideration from

@NickKristof

of how a "harm reduction" approach can decrease gun deaths in the U.S. Keeping guns from risky people, working WITH gun owners, and treating regulation the same as tobacco, cars, and alcohol are meaningful steps.

To break the paralysis, focus less on guns and more on those firing them.

Biggest danger to my kids? Are they playing at the house of some incompetent nutjob who lives under the delusions that guns keep them safe and therefore leaves their weapons unsecured?

I asked my kids if they’d prefer story time with a drag queen or to lock down in their classroom and cower under their desk or in a closet terrified as a madman with an AR-15 wanders the hallway hunting them. Guess what they chose.

Oh, sweet sweet John, I don’t live in a protected community. I live in a neighborhood where you’d be too afraid to unlock your car doors. It’s just that I’ve never lived with the all-consuming fear that others intend to do me harm. It must be awful.

since i have never touched alcohol in my life so i don’t collect beer cosy,s my motives are to protect my growing family. some of us don’t have the luxury of living behind the walls of a protected community.

Personally, I would’ve started with health care. But then again, I don’t have the luxury of staying home all day fantasizing about criminals breaking in and stealing my prized collection of beer koozies.

Well, Australia is a long way from a free society. There covid lockdowns rivaled Chinas.

“You do realize more people die from medical malpractice… than by gun.” Then if, god forbid, you accidentally shoot yourself in the junk while cleaning your firearm, you should definitely demand that medics take you to the nearest gun store instead of the nearest hospital.

Your profile says you teach medical realities. Then you should speak more on mental health and what makes people go insane. Guns are tools. You do realize more people die from medical malpractice and fatness than by gun. Why not advocate better health practices to save lives

Please let us know the next time someone who has the ‘root problem’ stands in their 32nd floor hotel room window and uses their bare hands to harm 500 people in the parking lot below.

I imagine a lot of people in America suffer from the “root problem,” whatever that is. None of those people has ever committed a mass shooting without a gun. Take as much time as you need with that.

The gun doesn’t cause the harm. It’s the person using it. Instead of fighting to take away rights of law abiding people do something useful and fix the root problem

We also did, and continue to do, a whole lot of stuff to make cars less lethal. We’ve kind of gone the opposite direction with guns.

The reason alcohol-related traffic fatalities have decreased 45% since the early 90’s is because we didn’t just throw up our hands and say “Duh, what are you gonna do? 🤷🏽” The decrease is due to things like DUI checkpoints, ignition interlocks, and zero tolerance laws.
