Thinking about the rageposters in the school shooter threads - what do we actually think could be done to prevent these?
Gun control is a dead end in this country (ask :beto:) and unless you went for complete banning of all guns (which should be “frustrated, by force if necessary” ), there’s really no way to stop some unhinged kid from grabbing Dad’s gun and going wild. I guess significant punishments for unsecured guns would be a deterrent for parents, but a determined person can defeat a cable lock in a few minutes.
I guess proper mental health services and modeling of how to seek out help before they act on it.
I agree SOMETHING needs to be done, but the lack of solutions being proposed is frustrating. There’s no getting the 300 million guns in America"back in the tube of toothpaste"
Just bought a new-to-me used car off Craigslist and am stoked. I nabbed this one cuz I check Craigslist for a rotation of car deals daily, our main car’s transmission just started failing, I had cash, and caught the post in the first few hours. Seller was the rarest of rare: upfront, honest, arrived on time, and had done perfect maintenance (with documentation) with tons of worthwhile quality-of-life upgrades (upgraded speakers, extra set of snow tires, tinted windows, roof rack, was top-of-the-line model). Like, I got a total gem and I’m so excited (mark my words) to have a working car. Seller even texted me after “thank you for keeping Craigslist a good place”
I haven’t seen it since a “cultural literacy” lesson in APUSH circa 2004. Should probably rewatch, thanks for the reminder
