Maybe we should ask every other first world country how they've managed to basically eliminate mental health issues, since we won't listen to them about gun control.
This should surprise no one.Kimmel writer quotes every GOP lawmaker’s post-Florida ‘thoughts and prayers’ tweet — and how much money they took from the NRA

In the 2015-2016 election cycle alone, GOP candidates took $17,385,437 from the NRA. https://twitter.com/GOPChairwoman/status/963891127169572865 …

This is NOT counting the $21 million given to President Trump.

I'm devastated to hear about the tragedy in Florida. Praying today for the students and all those impacted.

And no gun toter cares

Let's also not forget that local gun control laws are totally undermined by the fact that you can easily bring in guns from other cities or states. It's not like cities or states have some type of border check where they can stop a mass inflow of guns from other places within the U.S.
Imagine if he made a bomb
I suppose he could’ve rented a large moving van/truck and waited until school was out.
"Let's also not forget that local gun control laws are totally undermined ..."
yep, gun fellators think we are stupid enough to believe municipal or state gun regs should be abolished because they don't work
America's gun psychopathy is incurable, because BigGun, a BigPlayer in the oligarchy, makes policy to protect/enhance its profits by buying Repug s.
Darrin is so blasé about schools shootings.
Ho hum, amirite?
Probably killed more people using the ar15
It's legit, but coming from their mouths it's indeed weak, since they're using it as a shallow deflection. We all know they have zero intent on putting that precious tax dollar toward any kind of mental health reform. Furthermore, mental health reform would require an "evil" socialized system, since typically mentally ill individuals are unable to work and thus don't have or can't afford insurance. Case in point. I read a story today about a woman who tried to get help for a mental health issue, was refused because she didn't have insurance, and then wound up killing her 3 year old child.
Here's where the money's going:
According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, in 2010, the state spent about $40,000 a year to keep a person incarcerated. A report compiled by Governing magazine shows that for the same year, the state spent about $152 per person for mental health issues.
Well he was part of the fertilizer militia, so there's nothing stopping him from making truck bombs.
Soft target
That's a lot of reform and government regulation tbh
While I agree illicit drugs and gun violence are mostly intertwined, I think it's more important to go to the source of the madness. Who flooded the streets and the projects with crack cocaine in the 80's? Who's flooding the streets with heroin now utilizing Afghanistan's abundant poppy fields? If you dig into it, it always comes back to the CIA, and it doesn't require a tin foil hat. If we are being undermined from the top, any kind of multi-fold solution will prove fruitless. Until the Deep State is purged, the only solution is a well armed and informed public. Armed security at schools is a great start imo.
The Nice attack killed 86 people.
Ho-hum. We should do absolutely nothing because Darrin thought of another way a dude could kill people.
What should we do? Be specific
We're just going to keep bringing up the car-related mass killings like there's one of those for every mass shooting, aren't we?
January 31, 2028: "America suffered its 100th school shooting of the year today..."
Darrin: "Remember when that guy in France mowed down people with a van though?"
No. Discussion over. You said 19 year old kids will just make enormous truck bombs and we have to let them kill people with guns.
Sounds like this could have been prevented with common sense immigration laws.
The point is that if some deranged SOB wants to kill people, there are numerous ways.
Nope. You can just run them over.
Amazing you have to spell it out for them.They don't understand when their arguments have holes, and that there are numerous ways to convey that.
I see you've read your "5 Arguments Against Gun Control" brochure for new NRA members.
Why does this happen so much more in the US than anywhere else, Darrin?
In countries where it is harder to get assault weapons, are there more mass-murders-by-car?
Walk me through how a 19 year old makes a Paris type truck bomb.
