taxing cigarettes works because that is a purchase you likely want to do multiple times in your (progressively shorter) lifetime.
Dude can't even legally drink over there, but buying killing machines ? Pfffft, why should that be an issue ?
The outright refusal to even try anything is what really gets me. There are plenty of examples of things that have worked, but we like to keep ignoring those and pile on more of what hasn't worked. It's cool though, yeah more police and more guns are clearly the solution, and we totally aren't just using events like these to go deeper and deeper into a heavily policed surveillance state. Desperately tragic situation we are in and at some point something has to give.
On top of the guns we have right wing media that has specifically targeted white men aged 16-24 over the last few years. These men have been radicalized online by your Ben Shapiros and Crowders and those type of people. It isn't going to get better any time soon.
not sure about this one but something should be done for sure
There are more mass shootings this year than days have passed. The rate is 1.00+ per day.
well, when literally nothing is being done to improve the situation, and rhetoric is being piled on that adds fuel to the flames, the numbers are almost assuredly only going to go up until we actually make meaningful changes. it's stomach wrenching.
No bro, if a law or regulation isn't able to stop every single instance of a bad thing happening, it's therefore useless so we should stop trying to regulate bad things.
still early into the day i'm sure this shitty country is capable of producing another mass shooting to make people forget the one earlier today.
