Laura Ingraham (Fox) just did a piece on LeBron James being dumb and that he needs to stick to sports, not be 'yet another celebrity thinking they can talk about politics'.
The next segment was Chachi from Happy Days discussing foreign policy.

Watching this, which is basically the same response as always (I mean, visit Everytown.org, fucking seriously?), it dawned on me that the only way, the only way, to actually stop this is for anti-gun Americans to arm themselves and take to the streets, taking hostages at courthouses, police stations, etc. Sure people would probably die, but if guns are ever going to stop being so accessible, then they need to be the cause of total disruption to daily life, day after day, after day.
Radical end game solutions are needed and Jimmy kimmel's tear stick just isn't going to be enough.
So the way to stop shootings is by shooting a bunch of people? Why didn't we think of that before?
I don't particularly care about what America does with its guns, but I have had a little lol at all the 'WE DON'T NEED THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS'. Indeed. What we really need is an Oasis singalong.
Yeah I really don't get the 'thoughts and prayers' thing. Well, I do get it, it is a red vs. blue tribe thing, like everything in the US, and religion is a red tribe thing, but still.
I read an interesting piece on this by abusing how gun ownership works. It's technically totally legal for you to turn over your registration to someone else for zero dollars with the correct paperwork, you don't need to provide a home address, just a name and I think social security. So his theory was to start arming the homeless in mass. Guns would be banned within a week.
What a terrible idea.
The woman shouting 'do something NOW' in that Kimmel clip has pissed me right off. They can keep their guns until that mouthpiece takes one in the head.
If we're talking batshit crazy ideas then someone needs to have a pop at Trump/some of the NRA head honchos.
When's a presidential assassination ever resulted in a gun safety debate?
Oh, I just meant it'd be cool
I think the point is that there are people who have the power to implement solutions who are simply producing statements that sound nice but mean nothing. Offering hollow platitudes over twitter is the platonic ideal of virtue-signalling.
If someone actively worked to prevent gun control, they have no place offering platitudes. They're part of the problem.
There must be an inanimate object that kills more people than mass shootings that we can refer to for a bit of perspective.
It would be nice if we told all politicians, people in general, to fuck off when they 'virtue-signal' on Twitter instead of doing something. Easy to do with the outgroup.
Painkillers, there's probably even more money in them though so good luck with that.
Everyone knows about those. I mean something like lawnmowers or bathtubs.
In America? It'll be vending machines.
Trump has suggested arming teachers.![]()
I'd give it a month tops before a teacher in a rough school felt threatened and shot a student.
Might as well just get Treat Williams in.
If more guns aren't solving all of your problems then clearly you haven't tried with enough extra guns.
To think, all those years at school when there weren't armed guards and I didn't get shot. Dodged a bullet there.
"We're going to solve the opiate crisis by stringing out teachers on meth."
Good thing Teachers are immune to mental illness, breakdowns, PTSD etc...
I would be against this on the grounds that it would be just another thing for teachers to moan and play the martyr about.
Yeah, fuck teachers.
In my time at school the following happened:
-A teacher threw a wooden board rubber at someone and got them in the head.
-A teacher threatened to throw a stool at me when I wouldn’t leave the room after accidentally falling off my stool and bringing a keyboard with me.
-A teacher grabbed 2 boys by the scruff of their necks and forced them to the floor.
I could have been shot 3 times if they’d had guns. Mental.
Then after stuff like that happens we should arm the kids to keep rogue teachers in line.
I love the idea of them firing a shot just to shush the class up.
Woke up today to several videos of Marco Rubio getting owned by teenagers.
It's how every day should begin.

So apparently the NRA weren't always such a bunch of extremist assholes...
I read a similar article on Cracked, so it was probably simplified compared to that but it was still interesting.
"Wayne" seems like a fairly rational fella.
Right you are, Wayne."What people all over the country fear today is being abandoned by their government. If a tornado hits, if a hurricane hits, if a riot occurs, that they're going to be out there alone, and the only way they will protect themselves, in the cold, in the dark, when they are vulnerable, is with a firearm."
Is automatic weaponry that effective against natural disasters?
I'll bet everything I own that every tornado gets shot at more than ten times.
You calling Donald and Wayne liars?
The Good Guy With A Gun who was at the school froze outside the school, just standing there for 5 minutes refusing to go in and engage.
He's resigned.
Well only teachers have the sort of bravery required to take on a fellow with an assault rifle.
Trump has found the problem. Violent video games and movies. His solution to this? "Maybe they need to put a ratings system on movies"
Direct quote.
It's a good job we got rid of all the violent games and films over here or we'd be shooting each other left right and center too.
The response to this is so fucking brain dead that I find it hard to fathom anymore. It's beyond parody.
It's actually been the best response in years imo. I'd given up all hope after Sandy Hook, if they were fine with letting 4 year olds getting massacred they'd be fine with anything I thought.
I think the sheer amount of video made this one impossible to ignore.
But it's been that way for the most part for ages now, and when it hasn't, nothing's ever really been done.
Have some Jonathan Pie.
Jonathan Pie is a massive cunt. I've only ever watched 30 seconds of his stuff but I can't believe he's still going.
?
I thought he was a lefty, I see it shared around Facebook all the time. As I said I've seen 30 seconds of his stuff, 'Man pretends to be deadpan news presenter' is a worn subject already.If I'm going to watch that stuff I'll go for that Irish bloke whos name I can't remember.
I think if someone other than Trump/NRA put forward the reason on why kids in schools were killed and came out of the process with "because schools are gun free zones" , they would probably be locked up as they were showing signs of insanity.
And this is the solution they have come out with.
