Well,so does Panama,Paraguai,Israel,Switzerland and so on.These places don't suffer from constant mass shootings and yet have such weaponry available to the average joe. Guns don't go floating around shooting people. America has a mental illness/malice problem. They have psychosocial problem,not a gun problem. Look up the statistics and you will see there are hundreds of thousands of defensive gun uses in America every year. Without guns,murder rates would skyrocket in America.
A couple month ago a woman stripped down and swung around a business pole and rolled around the ground no one attempted to help her but just recorded her. Then I'm sure the cops came but due to our government not taking mental healthcare seriously she likely was just thrown in a jail cell to serve a sentence instead of being sent to get help for her issues whether they be mental or substance abuse.

Well,its pretty evident that a 15 year old that just shot all of his schoolmates with a rifle is NOT doing well mentally. But you know...its the guns fault.
To reply to all of you about the healthcare crisis. Universal healthcare should have never been a thing, but I even tend to agree there needs to be some now to an extent. The only part that makes me sad about it is the negative effect it has on growth in medical breakthroughs.
This will never happen because there is no money in it. Healthcare used to be affordable without anyone having insurance because they didn't charge you a billion dollars for a band-aid. (Being dramatic here). Then insurance and middle man, and more middle man came in and the prices kept rising and rising to fill these people's pockets to where the normal person can't afford it now.
If we want the best healthcare this world could provide we would go after these insurance companies and their minions, but like I said there is no money in that so government bodies will ignore it.
Also sue culture plays a part too, but that is a subject I'm not well informed on.
Full Auto are fully banned for new purchases. However, those on the market before 1985 or 1986 I believe they can be sold among people who already own them but they do require special permits to be allowed to be purchased.
He helped author a bill that unfairly incarcerated young black men. The one I mentioned Trump undid.
When they wanted to allow integrated schools he was against it and said he didn't want his kids to go to a racial jungle. For this one I will give him some grace because I truly believe people can learn and grow.
Who can forget? "If you don't vote for me you aren't black" Like skin color dictates how you think.
Poor kids should have all the opportunities that white kids have. (This one is horribly paraphrased) Like there aren't wealthy black families and poor white families.
Then when he uses of low-paying jobs he uses examples of black and Hispanic people.
These are just ones off the top of my head I'm sure if I went and dug into it again I would find some that I have forgotten.
Then if you look at the problem at the border, it's hard he believe he cares about any of America's residents or the people who are crossing. So maybe he is just a horrible person.
Sorry mate, this is not how society works. You are part of intrications of differents systems and environment, you can't just take yourself away from them. You are not living alone on a deserted planet.
you are a product of the societal norms and standards
it's why men have short hair generally and are expected to be tuff/manly
is it genetics that made men select for shorter hair and being stronger no
it's society
it's just as possible biologically for females to have short hair and be tuff as men same goes for men being girly and long hair just as possible biologically just societally not encouraged
There is no feminist status co. Feminist are against the status co as they want to change the society for better rights and priviledges for women. You are again saying a bunch of nonsence.
This is the principle of equity. People of color are still discriminated systematically. This is a documented scientific fact. Racialized people are discriminated in every strat of the society, sometimes with very subtle way. So.. we need to create equity to counter systematically the other system.
@Zemmi why cant govt direct billions of dollar which is basically war funds to public health even little amount helps lot of people who are struggling to get basic insulin injection . I agree public health has flaws but govt can make it open to public take it or leave .
Something I saw recently that does have me concerned: Mainstream media says we won't show you Trump's speech but we will tell you anything he says that is relevant. And people just accepted. Like ok, we will be happy for you to tell us what to think instead of us watching and thinking for ourselves.

To go further into the gun/school problem. There is a deeper problem. In my dad's years, they took guns to school with them to the school so they could go straight from school to hunting. They weren't shooting each other.
Move on to my generation. Our parents trusted us to take guns with us when we went camping. We didn't shoot each other or anyone else because of the education we had with guns. We did plenty of stupid stuff ie I ran over and broke one guy's foot because they wanted to hang off the back of the truck while I drove.
I won't claim to be well educated in this but I hope to dive more into it by looking at stats and facts. However, if I was asked to guess what changed. I think it's because of how kids are raised now. Kids are convinced their feelings are the most important thing in the world and everyone should bow and respect them. We told them words have power, which they do not. People are convinced if people don't agree with them they deserve to be destroyed.
I think this shift has caused multiple problems including a discussion we had yesterday about suicide. It's sad that people have learned to put so much of their identity into other people and their acceptance that they live in a life of depression because not everyone will ever like them or agree with them. It's an impossible task.

I found that statement horrible but the part where he said they let you I thought people would find liberating since women are free to let people do what they want to them.

The laws governing fully automatic guns in the United States are complex and vary from state to state. However, in general, it is illegal to manufacture, sell, or import new fully automatic guns for civilian use. However, it is legal to own a fully automatic gun that was manufactured before 1986, provided that you have a federal license and comply with all applicable state laws.
both zemmi and toby are correct but there is pull here

Money. Why are our vets living on the streets and homeless? Why do we have this large drug epidemic on our streets and a tent city crisis?
Not sure how many of you are from America but we do have government-funded healthcare for anyone below a certain poverty level. I would have to look up which states approved the adult expansion of it, but I believe only a handful did not.

Yes, we could reduced suicide. By stopping blaming women for it and start looking at the system all men are participating in (those people included) : Patriarchy. The one system that prevent men from seeking proper help and is constructing men like you, who instead of looking at the bigger picture, prefer to look at the victim of the system and blame them for your internal suffering.
And Donnie is bffs with Putin
Ok I don't understand what you are referring to. Mind posting the full quote where he said women are free to let people do what they want to them?
The quote which I don't by any means support. The key word is he said they let him. We do live in a society where we tell women it's perfectly fine to do things like this and removed the negative stereotype that used to come with it. So if they let him, I don't see why it's not encouraged.
“I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them, it’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything," he said in the 2005 conversation. "Grab 'em by the pussy."
