Herschel Walker has the solution:
Quote:
"Cain killed Abel and that's a problem that we have. What we need to do is look into how we can stop those things. You know, you talked about doing a disinformation -- what about getting a department that can look at young men that's looking at women that's looking at their social media. What about doing that? Looking into things like that and we can stop that that way. But yet they want to just continue to talk about taking away your constitutional rights. And I think there's more things we need to look into. This has been happening for years and the way we stop it is putting money into the mental health field, by putting money into other departments rather than departments that want to take away your rights."

To those saying it's why we need guns:
How does an overthrow of the the tyrannical government happen?
Best guess: you storm and occupy government buildings, disrupt local supply and traffic, and take regional civilian leaders hostage because you think that will stop big civilian leaders from approving indiscriminate retaliatory violence.
Then someone pops you like a balloon from a thousand miles away, and everyone you ever loved moves on without you.
the real answer is an overthrow of the u-s government would be a multi generation long war with lots of terrorist activity, ebbs and flows, and a parallel electoral strategy to have rebel sympathizer in positions of power

I am, bruh. Pizza night here. A couple Pale Ales. Time with my family. Some nba a bit later. I've got it much better than many folks out there.
You take your time with the question I posed you. But your inability or unwillingness to answer says all we need to know about your position on this topic.

More observations from the NRA convention:
Lots of families walking around the area. Like, whole families. Sometimes three generations of families at once. The kind who dress in matching shirts branded with tactical gear. Kids not much older than the victims of the recent shooting, families with teenagers. So many AR-15 logos.
I posted previously that gun fetishism makes me uncomfortable, but this somehow doesn't. I think the key here is family. It helps me understand the "fetishism" in context, and by proxy, the average dues paying NRA member. The evil that is the NRA is an abstract to these people, I think. The community is the thing for them. This is something that is literally passed down from generations, like a tradition understood and cherished. And it all comes back to family.
Of course I wish assault rifles weren't a thing, but in this context, it's hard to imagine any one of these thousands of responsible gun lovers across generations committing an atrocity. I understand the mental health/broken home factor republicans talk about when something like this happens. That can't be discounted in favor of villainizing a whole hobby culture, but at the same time, a lot of these gun owners need to read the room in the coming months/years/decades/generations and listen to anti-gun legislators to maybe understand that there can be a balance in all this somehow.
