Sure, but we're talking about access to far more effective weapons than swords here.

K.

I wasn't being hostile.

But the fact that there are states where the only thing between a man and a gun is 5 mins and some cash will always be a nationwide problem regardless of local state laws.

Yeah I don't see state laws ever really solving gun violence, but I also don't trust this administration to get any logical/effective federal gun laws on the books either.

Mexico's cartel problem is probably a bit more complicated to solve than just having an armed populace, though.

I hesitate to just blame parenting cuz that always devolves into stupid shit about traditional family values or needing a man in the house or whatever bs.

We just need a healthier and happier society, and until we have that guns just can't be available to absolutely everyone all the time.

The existence of profit driven social media def caused immeasurable harm, and our lack of healthcare essentially abandons unwell people.

We should make efforts to address that, but in the interim make sure gun owners are up to snuff and don't just let some dude walk out a Walmart with a AR15

Used to say the same shit, now it seems kinda silly. No one is really talking about fighting the whole damn military. Once we get to that point this country is already dead.

The simple truth is it's harder to deny someone their rights when their neighbors are packing heat and standing behind you.

Yeah I mean I'll take trying something over doing literally nothing any day

as a leftist, I don't really disagree with this.

Common sense gun laws to me means making sure the people who are getting them are knowledgeable, responsible, safe, and sane. If you are all of those things, have an AR idgaf.

What is the psychology of smiling through boos?

Being unbothered by the disapproval of others isn't a flex in politics, it just indicates that the people's disapproval of you is deserved.

Dismissing the haters is for B-list celebs and literal kids, not supposed representatives of the people.

Maybe I'm wrong and the sooner the better.

I'm thinking mid-late summer amidst all the coverage of likely protests and when we'll be fully out of the honeymoon period.

It might behoove us to allow this disaster to marinate a bit.
Just my feelings.

I am all for impeachment round 3, but I feel that timing is possibly the single most important element at play here.

Even if Trump has the lowest approval ratings of any president at this point in their presidency, my gut says it is still too early to introduce this without it getting steamrolled.

I feel like I've been hearing about N. Korean testing nukes my whole life. Fuckin figure it out already

only nation on earth that's been edging nukes for 30 years

def not at enddei.ed.gov 👀

enddei.ed.gov/ for real reports only, def don't spam 👀

while you're [not] at it, don't send DOGE an email at hr@opm.gov about your week or make up some weird shit like I didn't do.

(maybe [don't] use a throwaway email idk)

And she got that position purely from merit... right?? right guys??

Seems like a good time to advocate for free childcare. If parents gotta work two jobs each, I can't blame them for seeking out free alternatives to otherwise unaffordable childcare services.

All the more reason to abolish the electoral college...

but don't tell Trump that, he seems open to doing it cuz I don't think he really understands what it does 🤫

Agreed big-time

Dude, she was hot like a billion years ago. Why u still simping so hard?

Down bad for Pelosi in 2025 is crazy haha

I like the irrelevant guy saying he doesn't care how big the check he didn't receive was. Like okay 🤷🏼

Such a brave and righteous stance haha 🤦🏼

Does this pass as a zinger up in Alaska?

Is the joke that catching an STD from one's own mother isn't funny and therefore I am not funny? Or are you actually complementing my humor because in gnome-world incest STDs are extremely funny?

At this point I'm conducting a fuckin character study haha

I think our definitions of "upset" also differ quite a bit, my little mystical garden ornament

Much like our competing ideas of normal human interaction, what you and I consider to be fun is wildly different.

Didn't think the army accepted gnomes, but I guess they'll take whatever they can get nowadays haha

You are such a character it's unbelievable haha. I simply could not write you.

I sent some friends your "You sound perturbed & your hyperbole is as obtuse as it is jocular" quote cuz it's absolutely hilarious and they immediately accused me of speaking to a gnome.

Ur a weird fucking dude. Your syntax expresses a level of pretentiousness rarely seen outside of parody.

Nothing you said in your "I own a thesaurus" ahh comment even begins to rationalize your goofy ass comment.

Please, either seek out real life interactions or a cave with no wifi 😳

So weird

Jesus fuckin Christ, wtf? Imagine being weird enough to say something like this to someone in a hospital in-person after they were (probably) shot out of the fucking sky. Straight up anti-social behavior.

The art of normal human interaction is being brutally murdered by "social" media.

Yeah I understand your misconception perfectly fine. The reality is that public schools in poorer areas have been underfunded since their conception and removing more funds makes it worse.

There really isn't any room for debate here.

Lol okay bud, I'll talk to you later 👋
