Aspen Institute discussion of reducing gun deaths from the perspective of health care, with...

Lotta good stuff in here. A little bit I disagree with but much that is valuable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZj4EEiCFnU&t=36s

Don't know why it won't embed but its a discussion at the Aspen...

To call this a coup attempt seems like a bit of a stretch right? LIke there is no way they were going to affect who was president by tromping around the capital building.

Guy in charge of security...

I was seeing a cowgirl for a while last year. She told me a story of one of her young girl cousins from the city coming out to the ranch for the first time, seeing a stallion slapping its erect cock...

No irony at all, none whatsoever. I support lenient gun laws to allow responsible people to own guns, but also do not think people anger problems should be armed. There shouldn't have to be any laws...

Don't be so self centered, its not about you, hes just looking for any excuse to say 'ammosexual' and 'gun fondler' that he can.

I'm just relieved they don't like guns because they seem to be some of the angriest most hateful people out there. Regardless of where you stand on this issue I don't think hating and insulting gun...

Huge irony in this statement. Labeling owners of the most popular rifle in the US as all being douchebags while complaining someone wanting to have a more accurate conversation with accurate terms is...

Funny, I feel like the anti gun stuff is fear driven and I feel just fine trusting my fellow citizens to own and carry guns and feel no need to either carry or ban guns to protect myself from them....

Working at the Bird, at bird sports, the little demo shop on the tram deck, we had this ol guy as a customer. Mid 60s, smelled of alcohol even in the mornings, carried a fanny pack, tripped walking...

I'm all for sollutions that don't involve a national registry de facto or otherwise.

We should probably; just publicly shame all those under 25 for being young. I'm sure that will reduce their alienation etc.

You're already not allowed to use any rounds to hunt people.

I think focusing on helping such areas should be more palatable to the right wing than giving up their own rights, but its hard when both sides view everything as a slippery slope to something else....

Ok, but guns were hard to find during those periods because they were selling at record numbers, and there were still relatively few mass shootings. They were statistical anomalies, horrifying but...

So what do you guys think made the rates of mass shootings skyrocket recently? Guns haven't gotten more available? What is causing the rise?

The red flag laws that already exist?

His classmates had reported his murderous rantings for years supposedly.

We can start talking about legalizing or decriminalizing drugs. That isn't a factor in mass shootings, but in shootings that aren't random mass murder, they are usually about domestic violence or the...

When its time for her to start moving swimming is going to be way better than walking/running if you can figure that out somehow.

I'm confused, you guys want minorities to be able to arm themselves then?

Personally i think we should give everyone crossing the southern border a green card and ar15. The bad ones already have...

Oh I love it when people challenge what i say, but hyperbole ridicule and insults aren't really challenging anything. More like what people do when they avoid challenging anything you say.

This is from pages and pages back, but I opened the tab to reply and procrastinated, but think its worth pointing out, you thin compromise is reasonable and necessary but won't do it because you...

No, I assume most of the people who swear at and insult me for simply disagreeing with them are somewhere between that and how they would act in real life.

neither do I but I believe in the loss of context tone of voice and body language cues making it difficult to convey friendly levels of just fucking with you ism and those being mistaken for actually...

Seems like it. So making them the only ones that get to be armed seems stupid.

I don't watch the news as I don't think its healthy to experience these things that intimately that often, but i can see why people are responding with such emotion, this definitely ups the bar for...

Agree with this. This is a good direction to focus in as it might be something that would galvanize the right into agreeing with the left about something, if police reform was not reduced to the...

Ok bro but you'll waste multiple posts on insults. You can't not you won't.

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership? The (LGBTQ) Pink Pistols?

Honestly I do not get how I am condescending, especially when compared with many here, I don't call names, tell people they are stupid, ridicule or use strawmen.

I ramble a bit.

My point this...

Your hate might provide you with some dopamine but it won't create any solutions .

Sure, yea, anti gun types aren't willing to sacrifice their ire, blame, and hatred for gun owners, nor their smug attachment to being right, and thier insistence the world can be some sort of perfect...

And the absolute impossibility of limiting those things retroactively.

You're not going to be able to overturn the 2nd. If you want gun law reform, you're going to have to start thinking about what gun control you can support, that might actually help things, that you...

Yea cops rarely are willing to risk their lives any more. They used to be but their us and them I don't owe you shit psychology has become a lot more prevalent.

Lowest end for that is going to be about 2k with no optics, more likely about 3k.

Or lots of people are just trusting enough of their fellow citizens they are fine with them owning guns. Personally I think we should give every immigrant an ar15 and a green card, I'm fine with...

The sheriffs departments are the ones who sued to have the unenforceable mag ban overturned in Co. They failed, now you've got this weird ass situation where stores openly sell technically illegal...

You guys can condescend people's reasons as much as you want but you're not going to be able to overturn the second, any gun control you want to actually pull off is going to be things gun owners can...

Whats an assault weapon?


I think the definition is 'whatever scary traits they want to ban next'

It wasn't word vomit to me, in fact they express somethign I feel deeply, that those without the ability to empathize with those who disagree with them should tend their own garden before they take...

So why so few mass shootings before the ban took place? Why did they not drop precipitously when it was enacted?

So how are you pro 2a? I notice you didn't answer.

Feed me your hate brother I'll eat it up and spit it out as love to all those I meet.

If you had soemthing to say you'd say it. Insulting me is just an angry childish little tantrum.

I think its like saying that you're "not anti vax" before any criticism of anythign even remotely connected to that cus you have to virtue signal certain things or else there is zero chance anyone...

No, but for the pharma companies part in the mental illness epidemic.

Nope. I can put myself in your shoes, but honestly dude, disconnecting from the news for a while puts this all in perspective. With what it does to you sympathetic nervous system, its a drug, the...

I wish people woudl stop thinking of the left and right as these monoliths. Oh some people support this while some others support this.

There are plenty of people who are in favor of abortions...

No my stance is those terrible thigns happen to unarmed populations. There is more nuance to history than you believe. You guys believe gun control will solve our problems because you're experiencing...

Nah I'm just removed from it because I don't watch the news. It does help keep things in perspective. Humans were not meant to experience the outrage from events so far flung to them that we get by...
