Interesting article. Could actually work on the prevention side. And it doesn't touch the morons precious guns. However, we'd actually have to start investing in humans, not in guns. As John Oliver pointed out last night, stop spending so much ****ing money on police in schools and start spending it on counselors.Two Professors Found What Creates a Mass Shooter. Will Politicians Pay Attention?
Mass shooters overwhelmingly fit a certain profile, say Jillian Peterson and James Densley, which means it’s possible to ID and treat them before they commit violence.
I still say we need to take all the guns away. Gun owners have had the opportunity for a long while now to prove to the American people that they deserve them. They have failed. Miserably.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Arizona candidate says the quiet part out loud.
Tech investor and Arizona Republican Senate hopeful Blake Masters acknowledges that the United States has a gun violence problem. But he also has a theory about why there’s a problem—it’s “Black people, frankly.”Comment

I can't believe someone called "Blake Masters" said something racist!

It was the Black Kid they used to counter the "having cops in school creates a better relationship between police and the community" argument.

The Uvalde Police Chose Dishonor
Cowards. That town should hound them right into the sunset.On occasion, and typically in contexts having more to do with what is done but ought not to be than what isn’t done but should be, we consider the malignant variant of male character called toxic masculinity.More familiar instances of toxic masculinity concern the wanton infliction of violence, especially the sexual kind, especially upon women and girls. In his threats of rape and domestic battery, the Uvalde killer himself exhibited this strain: emasculated, resentful, explosively violent but mainly toward women and children, for he was afraid of adult men. Yet on the other side of the wall was, it seems, another sort of toxic masculinity—a platoon of armed and trained men who had evidently come to rely so heavily on guns and armor in lieu of courage and strength that they found themselves bereft of the latter when outdone in the former. Instead they were beset by cowardice, evidently as convinced as the shooter was that the gun really does make the man, and that outgunned is thus as good as outmanned.Comment

A gun manufacturer has made a gun called "Jihad" and stamped passages from the Qur'an on the barrel. Republicans have expressed outrage.
Oh. Wait. That's the opposite of what happened.

That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.Comment

Do you imagine for a moment that if the gun I described above was real the bigots in the GOP wouldn't throw a fit? But it's an incredibly racist Christian call to arms and a verse from the Bible, so it's fine.Originally posted by SJHovey View PostComment
