#like but why child murder duh

I’m so fucking tired. Warning triggery for mass shooting, language, and actually a bunch of shit. I’m putting it under a read more

But I’m from Texas and as a healthcare worker, it pisses me off when politicians say thoughts and prayers ✌. No fuck you. How about less thoughts and prayers and more pen on paper ? Change the gd law. ‍♀️ you claim to protect children but only to make sure they are born so that they can be killed in a fucking elementary school shooting. Like if your laws can’t change child murder than you are less useful than trash.

Like we know that politicians are being paid off by gun groups and we know that in other countries that gun control prevents mass shootings. There are peer reviewed studies on imperial data for over a decade that consistently say such. And the argument against it are fucking stupid.

But mental illness?? Then invest in mental healthcare but many shooters aren’t mentally ill and it’s impossible to kill a bunch of people so fast without a gun. They would be stopped way sooner if they had to use a slower gun or a knife.

But my guns?? Fuck your guns. Just because you get a boner at the gun range rather than paying child support on your kids, does not mean people should own assault weapons. And if the laws take away your guns then you never deserved them in the first place. All the laws being proposed take guns from people who are unfit.

But I hunt?? Then hunt. Get a license, pass a background check, and get tags to shoot the animal you want. That will remain legal. If you don’t then I hope the game warden takes you to jail. You can’t hunt with the guns they use to mass shoot because you will obliterate the animal with bullets.

But only people with guns can stop a shooter so we should arm everyone. That’s fucking stupid. Multiple military and police trained weapon experts say that it’s extremely difficult to do anything in a mass shooting situation. The most decorated shooter in US military history was shot on a gun range holding a gun. This isn’t halo games.

But the second amendment?? They also said you could own people and raped their slaves. Fuck ‘em. Plus again, you can own a gun if you go through the correct steps and if you don’t pass them then you don’t deserve the privilege. If you can’t follow the rules of the road then you can’t drive. This should be the same.

What I propose is

• stricter background checks including mental health and social media. Many shooters literally put online their plan and then bought the weapons or had homicidal tendencies documented.
• Mental health screening before weapon purchase. Literally a paper questionnaire would screen out many people with questionable motives.
• License to own weapon required on all guns and the more deadly classes require even more licensing that require education to own. Some weapons shouldn’t be owned by civilians.
• The classes have to be comprehensive on gun safety, the laws around gun ownership, and what happens to the human body when shot. They need to know exactly what happens when they shoot someone.
• Limit the number of guns people can buy in a time period and ever. The stat on gun ownership is heavily skewed to look like a majority of Americans own guns but really there are people who own whole arsenals.
• Waiting periods of at least a week so no one can buy a gun in a fit of rage and kill people with it.
• No weapon ownership for people who have committed any violent crime ever. Domestic violence for instance.
• Remove weapons from people convicted of violent crimes.
• License each weapon and when it changes owners. If the gun if sold or destroyed, have paperwork on it.
• Require proof in the form of a safe or gun lock that they will use for their weapons.
• Convict people who leave firearms out where others can get them and tragedy happens. If there was a near tragedy, fine then steeply based on income and then use that money for public schools.
• No more selling guns online and in pawn shops unless they can comply to license and background check laws strictly.
• Have a gun buy back program and no question asked gun drop offs where people can get rid of guns they don’t want.
