RE: Guns, Donald Trump, traumatized teenagers

in #politics7 years ago

If you don't support drug restriction, it's because you like drugs. If you don't support gun restriction, it's because you like guns.

Haha, exactly. It's happened, already. Guns exist. But how can we make sure these people are not pushed to such expedients.

When people have mental health issues they need to be talked with and loved. Guided, encouraged.

Exactly. Definitely! But like you said, it's easy to just shove them a pill, instead of creating a system--or improving the existing one--so as to accommodate, and help, and encourage and guide these people.

But like you said, the big guns--pun intended--wouldn't let this happen. Who'd buy the drugs!? So let's direct their attentions to banning guns every time, instead of facing the real problems holistically.

Sort:  

Yup! Class misdirection. People vaguely sense that something is wrong, and so there needs to be a scapegoat problem to discourage people from looking for the real problem.

Pill Pushing + Gun Free Zones = disaster waiting to happen.

Stop those things and fix it from within.

I'll add one more thing. If people want to stop the pill pushing and stop the gun free zones AND want to "ban guns"

well..

they're still wrong that banning guns will accomplish what they think it will accomplish, but in this case they're at least potentially genuine

if they think schools should remain defenseless and don't care about these psychiatric practices, then they DO NOT care about protecting kids and are just playing politics or reacting emotionally
