Arm every criminal, extremist and emotionally disturbed individual with an assault rifle, why don’t you? And then blame the deaths of little kids on others! Perhaps we should arm primary school kids so they can shoot back, huh? Has America gone completely nuts??
And those same people are so ready to defend cis/straight shooters.
I think there is something insane in the USA. They have this Wild West mentality. A kind of lawless free-for-all. It’s nuts. Licence to kill.
Yeah, it’s really insane and their way of thinking is often very irrational.
A toxic mixture of fanatical religion and poor education.
Yes, that’s mostly it.
Not sure how that can be tackled. A good education system to start with. Then tax the churches.
Yes, all those would work but they keep banning books. How are people supposed to get educated? Ridiculous.
Utter madness. They ban books but not guns!! They are insane!
Opher, “Has America gone completely nuts” (??) should not be a question.
It happens to be a statement! THAT is clear!
Hi Tub!! Great to hear from you. Still surviving out in that wasteland that is the USA?? Good to know. How are you? What have you been up to??
Opher, Tubularsock’s muckraker activities has required higher hip boots just to cover the height of all the shit the U.S. can come up with in any given day.
Keeps Tubularsock busy.
Tubularsock has kept up with your work and enjoy your commentary on so many subjects.
Tubularsock does envy your long walks you take. Here in Oakland, CA to walk any distance one has to step over the homeless all over the place. Does improve one’s dexterity at handing out money but very depressing.
Seems we have sent ALL our money to destroy Ukraine! And we are doing a bang up job!
The truly sad part is THAT WE DON’T CARE how many Ukrainians die just as long as we get …………
Oh hell, Tubularsock has given up trying to figure what we are stealing this time!
Guns don’t care what sex or gender you are, they kill and should be banned for all. Cis is a made up word. Calling biological men and women cis allows the genders to pretend that heterosexuals are just another gender. Heterosexuals are in the majority. They procreate. Despite attempts to change the language, biological women are not chest feeders or birthing persons. In the last few days Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull who calls herself Posie Parker was at a protest rally in New Zealand, speaking out for safe spaces for biological women and girls. She was mobbed by highly aggressive transgenders. Was so afraid for her life that she had to leave the country. The aggressive transgenders definitely didn’t need a gun. If the security guards hadn’t kept her upright as she tried to leave, she would have been trampled.
Hi Mary, you have surely highlighted a very real issue – how do we create safe spaces for women and girls? That needs addressing. Personally I would like to respect the rights of transgender people but not accord them the same status as biological females. They are different. I think everyone has to accept that – different but equal. Yes, I’m sure, some transgender people are very aggressive, but not all. Surely, we can’t stereotype?
I agree with you. Guns should be banned. They kill. There should be no place for them.
