I have no idea about individual state laws outside of mine. But red flag laws will never help. NY is trying to make it where you have to show your social media profile to get a firearm. While that may sound harmless, it’s not. Asking the political party in charge of your state to decide who can and can’t get a firearm is the dumbest idea there is. And don’t for one second think whoever is in charge of making that decision is apolitical.

Holy fudge brownies, I think I agree with almost everything you said here. I think it is asinine to check social media bc all of that stuff can be fake and made up just for starters.

As a conservative leaning person that isn't an R or D... that is what I know conservatives are most worried about. Some more-right-than-me conservatives are very literal to interpreting the constitution. If you come at the 2nd amendment, they push back... cause they feel if you take an inch... you are going to eventually try to take a mile. And I get that and agree with it to a degree... cause many times it actually does happen. It's similar to liberals thinking that the Dobbs decision is going to lead to the Supreme Court going after *** marriage. And I get it... most likely it doesn't happen during our lifetime, but you can never say "I guarantee that won't happen".

But there are common sense things that almost everyone D or R can agree on with things like the 2nd amendment. Like if there is a looney tune dude who dresses up as a girl and threatens to kill himself and his family and has 16 knives... dude (or whatever their pronouns are) shouldn't be able to touch a gun.

But there comes a point where you cross that line and using social media to make a "judgement call" on whether you think they are worthy of getting a gun. We all can see where that can lead to more than just simply looking for harmful or mentally ill social media postings.

In the old days, it was a source of pride to see the rest of the world trying to follow the USA's lead. Not so much in this case.

It is a shame this is happening. Let's just hope that the number of incidents in the US starts to match the frequency in all these other countries.

The video of the police waiting, at the recent school shooting, shows they were afraid that they were outgunned.
There will be no medals for heroism.
There will be a push to ban assault weapons, but don’t hold your breath.

The worst part was when the guy hits up the hand sanitizer… like wtf

Then the part where the gunman fired four times (probably murdering more kids) and they run away like cowards.

Hopefully they are all fired
