and every time someone brings up how little they care about actual tragedies, they’re like “b-but I do care 🥺” as if they hold an ounce of remorse for those deaths. they can take their shitty platitudes and shove it.

It means selectively using your platform to memorialize a bigot but never once speaking up about other political issues is gross.

Their families? We show our care by posting about it and raising awareness? Just like we do for Gaza and all violence you see in peaceful protests and everything else?

Honestly great point with that second paragraph, his own party is using him in a way that feels dehumanizing. Like he was an “idea” less than a person.

it takes a murderer to lose a life, not the weapon itself.

Yeah when that weapon is intentionally lethal, it shouldn’t be as easy to access as it is. You don’t even need a complete background check to purchase a gun. So I stand by my statement, guns are the issue. Or rather… the extreme lack of gun laws. Background checks should be extensive and mandatory, as well as frequent mental health checks. But for some reason the Republicans have always been against that idea too.

The most commonly used weapon in these shootings are hand guns. Not some illegal gun from Mexico. HAND GUNS from the local store. That should tell you everything you need to know about the ease of acquisition. You’re right it takes a person pulling the trigger, but it takes action from us and laws to stop them from even getting their hands on the guns in the first place.

i recommend you look into the psychological tests that we have at this time, and if you study psychology and are unaware of this issue then there's a problem, and come back to me. you guys are asking for these mental health checks, but we dont have the validity of these tests to even make it happen. i very much agree these tests are needed, but they're easy to cheat which in the end wouldn't change the outcome.

“guys i swept the floor today” - person who bought a roomba and did nothing else when we make tools for efficiently killing people, we should expect that killers are going to use those tools. like fucking obviously a person pulled the trigger. that doesn’t change the fact that if they didn’t have a trigger to pull in the first place, they COULDN’T HAVE. yes there are other weapons, but guns are power tools and our lack of regulations on them make killing easy and accessible. THAT’S the problem.

doing nothing is worse than trying something and it not working. If you don’t do anything simply because you know the tests won’t work, then you also can’t learn from that and find ways to make it work. You can’t stop everyone from lying but that doesn’t mean it won’t decrease it at all.

okay so why do we regulate fentanyl?

Anonymous OP 1w

if everything is about people why try to regulate deadly substances? could it be that less things that cause death being accessible leads to less death? not just trying to control human behavior. this argument is also rich from MAGA who defunded mental health research & services. if you actually cared about gun violence you’d do something, ANYTHING, but you all continue to do nothing.

Anonymous OP 1w

right?? psychology is actually an incredibly well developed science now. it has grown super quickly even just in the past 10 years. so now that we’ve invented reliable ways of analyzing behavior, let’s cut the fucking funding! don’t want anyone having a detailed, highly repeatable, actionable plan that would make psych evals for gun control plausible. that’s too difficult. instead, let’s paint minorities as “mentally ill”. then we can just take guns away from them! after all it is us vs “them🤮”

that’s the quiet part that’s ACTUALLY anti second amendment (which Donald Trump said out loud when he tried to ban trans people from being able to own guns) is that they just want to pick & choose who has second amendment rights instead of creating common sense regulations that keep all of us safe & protect all of our rights

I have political opinions but I don’t discuss my political opinions with others. I was raised in a household where we did not discuss politics at all. I’ll have civil conversations with others, but I’d rather not discuss politics because some people’s views are so different from others and it usually ends in heated arguments which i’d rather stay clear from

I see where you’re coming from to an extent. I’m not blasting my social media about how much he will be missed. However, I do still hold an ample amount of empathy. Just because someone holds different beliefs does not mean they deserve to die… His death is not a good thing and it solves nothing. Maybe people should try putting themselves in the position of his wife and children to truly understand how awful it is.

a political figure being assassinated is a political issue. if your entire existence was dedicated to justifying gun violence your death to gun violence is political.

“I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy. That's a separate topic for a different time.” Here’s the rest of that quote you are referring to. Would you like the whole quote?

i’ve seen plenty of people i know posting about the school shootings… that in itself is sad, “if you post about every school shooting you’ll be posting every day”. it has desensitized people and people now say “thoughts and prayers!” and move on. charlie kirk gets shot and there’s an outrage. outrage for a man who said he would make HIS daughter deliver her rapists baby and that passing the civil rights act was a mistake. if you don’t see anyone posting about shootings, you do it. make a change
