DDM is okay with people stacking up weapons because of the second amendment or something.
Yeah, that's kind of the supreme law of the land. If Trump really did mean for the Proud Boys to stop causing trouble and tone it down a bit, that's a good thing, right?
I'm prepared for ultra-right-wing authoritarian arguments to the contrary. Are you making that argument or do you agree with me?

We don't have a violence problem with those people, though. The mean, median, and modal mass murder in the US is a young black man usually using a hand gun.
We have a violence problem with mentally ill and young black men. It just so happens that one of the solutions for the first one is also a partial solution for the second one: affordable universal healthcare that INCLUDES mental healthcare.

All those places have strict laws against a person owning a handgun, as do many others and our gun crimes are way lower than the US. Have been for decades.
Originally posted by Silent MasterIt's about the responsibility of the individual, not a group. Why should certain members of a group be punished if one nutter did something bad? Punish that individual and monitor the group so they don't recruit more nutters, and if they do, then be harsher on said certain group.
So, would your laws target those groups who are responsible for the most gun violence?
Originally posted by Silent MasterWell, no not 24/7 surveillance, but checks to see if everyone being non-violent and okay and using their guns responsibly, like for sport, hunting or training for military for eg.
By monitor, you mean place under active surveillance?
However, agenda that might seem like planning an attack on a certain amount of people for an arbitrary reason, would also be something I'd like to prevent.

Trump and First Lady tested positive for covid. Here’s the October surprise. Wow.
Interesting.
Watch Trump use this as a reason to show how strong he is for beating COVID-19.
Note: almost everyone has no symptoms or mild symptoms and they clear it quickly.
However, Trump is over 70 and he is obese. Both factors that greatly increase his mortality rate.

No, that is a fact. And denying that fact and also not trying to resolve that problem is racist, like you're being. You're literally being racist by trying to ignore a problem that plagues the black communities. You should DEFINITELY stop being racist.
Young black men and violence is an extreme problem, relative to other races, and it is a severe plague on the US black communities. And the primary victims are mostly other black men.
If you aren't racist, you'll stop sweeping black issues under the wrong and pretending they don't exist. If you aren't racist, you'll try to resolve problems that plague black communities severely disproportionately.

Blakemore is refreshingly intelligible when he’s sober(albeit, still a bit dimwitted), yet exudes horrid stubbornness and shortsighted notions when he’s under the influence. The contrast is clear in his posting style.
