What kind of society have we created that so many people are more eager to protect the right to own a military style assault weapon than to do everything possible to protect the life of a child? America’s collective gun fetish IS a mental health issue.

The kind of country whose mayors/pols had the police stand down in the summer of 2020. I was against large magazines until then.

Given the depth of corruption in government & business, the gun convo just can’t be what it might have been even 10 years ago. I can’t help thinking America wouldn’t want or need as many guns if so many of us weren’t trying so hard to force others to live by our preferences.

this horror abt so much more than guns as the details slowly leaking out reveal to us. the deep disregard for children is the telling evidence of the rot at the core of our society. men w guns standing by while kids were shot for over an hr should be sending up scarlet red flags.

We would have no military style assault weapons if there were no militaries. Anywhere.

👀It’s not guns or access to guns. It’s failed parenting. Failed society. It’s like watching a building burn down, then everyone falls into the emotional reactionary trap and starts screaming how we need to ban fire.

The “defund the police” movement has demoralized law enforcement personnel to an extent that many members are hesitant to confront perpetrators like the shooter in Uvalde head-on.

Why don’t you ask the citizens of Ukraine that question? There is literal proof of what giving up your guns does to a country. Why not heed the warnings? You can’t possibly be that daft.
