And yes the cat could tackle them better than Trump because the cat won't reverse what little exists. Edit: the Ted Cruz answer is more gunz! Damn all these other countries without gunz do not have this problem, but the USA which has the most gunz and the most shootings, I KNOW I KNOW what will fix it, MORE GUNZ!!! We are literally living in a police state that gets more fascist every day | ||

It’s almost like other countries exist that one could take a look at (see healthcare) We don’t need to know the details Ted, fuck up already. Maladjusted loner takes out a bunch of innocent lives to compensate for their self loathing, because they have tools that enable them to do this. Quel surprise | ||

Who cares about all the other people impacted, people should be able to what they want. "It is my freedom that matters, let me do what I want the rest of you be damned" could be there new slogan. Funnily enough, there's a party in the US that already touts this exact shit. It's called the Libertarian Party. | ||

I'm sure those who are proponents of private school and banning books, and telling teachers what they can and can't teach, and how they can and can't teach it, have no problem with both students and teachers alike being preoccupied with the worry of being shot dead, while they're at it. The GOP knows an educated population that's able to employ critical thinking is their deathknell. | ||

Pretty sure "well-regulated militia" wasn't referring to killing schoolchildren and teachers. Right before Summer vacation too. Hearing someone say "thoughts and prayers" must feel like getting branded with an iron for all the families. | ||

The GOP is the party of death, misery, and suffering. Pro-life is a complete lie | ||

All the parents who lost children today sent their kids to school without any reason to think this would happen, but it did. And while this is by no means a "common" occurrence, statistically speaking, it is hard to swallow the idea of living in the only place in the world where it *does* happen. Maybe its just that now that I'm raising a baby, these things hit harder, but there's no way this issue will be fixed by the time they're in school. Emotional comfort in family/friends isn't a good trade for my kid to have a statistically lower chance of being shot? The situation is complicated. I'm curious how other parents feel about this. Do you just say "yeah well car crashes happen to, so yolo", or is there a component of this that makes you wonder if this is too much? | ||

Results all over the world have shown, repeatedly and successfully, that the main variable at play in the United States is the power of monied interests in politics, and the absolute greed and corruption held by our Right-wing extremist leaders, who value the right to own a gun more than the right to go about your life freely, and without fear. They can say whatever they want, but their actions will drown them out every time. Their silence is the story of every kid who got up and thought they were going to school, seeing their friends, complaining about homework, and getting ready for the life ahead of them, and had it all taken away. | ||

The nature of my career basically makes me a multi-national and I could easily just buy a house somewhere else and have a great job. Am I a bad parent for staying in the US, where these things happen, when I could live somewhere else? Is it selfish to want to remain around family even though this risk is there?
