Unlimited "Guns, Fuck Yeah!" Thread

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Well, those are great long-term goals.  But what are you going to do about the problem RIGHT NOW?

Wait... are you under the impression that passing more gun control laws is a short-term solution?



What on EARTH gives you that idea?

I love how when you ask RWNH what his specific ideas are, he immediately tries to cut you down for not having specific ideas but never quite gets around to articulating his own.

Apparently "big picture" means "I want to yammer on about stuff that's an overly-emotional subject for me without ever actually bothering to know what the fuck I'm talking about."

Uh, I'm sorry. Did I miss the part where we went from having a discussion to fixing a problem? Because if we are talking about that, our goal should probably start with electing people who actually give a fuck and are effective at what they so. Maybe we could elect people who don't blow up kids in their sleep. For a start.

I mean all this talk about how guns are bad is great, but the actual plans being put in place by the people in charge are to reduce the assault STYLE of weapons. Which means THEY are doing Not A Damned Thing.

So...yeah.

Don't answer the question with a question.  The goals you listed are good, but long term and nothing you would be able to pass or enact in the short term.  So I'll ask again.  What would you do RIGHT NOW to start impacting the issue of gun violence?

I mean, the day that Joe Biden solves any of America's problems, hell even one (1), is the day I will eat my pants and post the pics in this thread.

Oh oh oh

I left out "without reviewing the existing literature on the subject".

He's like our very own Glenn Beck!

That is a good short term goal for sure.

Well, since you obviously have, here is your chance to educate me.  I'm all ears.

You answer questions with questions all the time, hypocrite. 

Let's take just one of my suggestions: Impose a maximum wage.

How is that not "right now"? How is passing more gun control laws somehow more immediate? It certainly hasn't shown to be effective in reducing gun violence so far, so why do you think it will start being effective now?

"Start electing people who care" is a good short term goal, but "heavier taxes on the rich" isn't?

Okay, my first question would be what specifically is it about the maximum wage that would reduce gun violence? Walk me through it.

I already posted a link to a research article about income disparity and gun violence back on page one. Read it.
