    Tldr: going after guns, not violence. Remember its the tool not the action

    Complaining is easy. Do you have an actual solution in mind that addresses the root cause?

    In the end, all conservative complaints about gun control make a joke of the “protect the kids” arguments you guys use. You care more about guns and their unrestricted access than the lives of children.

      That jackass didn’t actually read the release. He summarized the exact opposite of the intent.

      That account is a constant source of spewing bullshit, btw.

        Oh absolutely. But even if they were correct on the “going after guns not violence” part, it’s still a terrible take.

        Guns are just a tool? Cool, then they should be regulated just the same way other dangerous tools are, through required safety training/licensing, and prevention of ownership for people who are likely to misuse it.

              No, I’m just to the right of most lemmy users, which is a very low bar. All karma says is that people disagree with me, nothing more. You know that, so why act differently?

                  As if hitler didn’t disarm the jews. Remind me, which one of us likes gun control?

                    So these people were actually proposing we have tighter gun control? Disney is an odd place to hold a rally for DeSantis, but it’s a free country.

      My solution is that there isn’t a problem with gun violence, there’s a problem with violence.

      Violence which is caused by systemic racism.

        Claiming that all shootings are the result of systemic racism is a huge claim. Do you have evidence to support that?

        And how do you intend that we solve said systemic racism?

          Can we not be super pedantic? A lot of violence is fueled by systemic racism, happy?

          And how do you intend that we solve said systemic racism?

          Thats the million dollar question, isn’t it?

            You’ve made a huge, sweeping claim with zero support or explanation of the causal link. Asking for evidence is reasonable.

            Thats the million dollar question, isn’t it?

            So you criticize those trying to do something about the problem, those trying to protect children from getting shot, all without even offering a single alternative? How is that reasonable?
