@syag-lchochma I think that mental health is too difficult a metric to pin down. It’s really hard to tell the difference between the guy having a bad day and the guy who’s one wrong turn away from cracking. We absolutely must address the mental health crisis in this country, but I doubt it will be more than 25% effective at stopping mass shootings.
@Pekak I’m not sure nor do I care what “AR” stands for. (I think it’s “Armalight”?) It shouldn’t be in civilian hands. Period. I don’t know why gun nuts think that everyone has to know every aspect of deadly weapons before commenting that the situation in the US is out of control. Does it matter if it uses “clips” or “magazines” when it fires two bullets a second for thirty seconds before needing to reload? Should I worry if it’s being loaded with a “bullet” or a “cartridge” that’s strong enough to stop a charging bison? Can I not be upset if I can’t tell you that the gun is “burst fire” or “automatic”?
@always_ask_questions I am far more worried about random shootings by maniacs today than I am about some far off imagined potential revolution.
