The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"And what you are trying hard to do is to apply your remedies to all non criminal legal gun owners"

Bzzzzt. Wrong.

"focusing on those you say are the problem, "mentally unstable people to do lots of damage to many others."
"


Wrong again. 0 for 2.

I would love to increase spending on mental health.

Which party do you think prevents that?

We live in a society which marginalizes the mentally ill and leaves them unsupported, but then we also live in a society where the mentally ill have easy access to weapons that can do lots of damage in a very short amount of time. A double whammy.

That is why we lead the 1st world in mass shootings. Other countries have figured it out. Unfortunately we have a minority in this country with a gun fetish, they have been able to successfully block any rational reform.
