Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So your stance is that only liberal kids get victimized?
Their stance is that conservatives are babies who took the miraculous and precious human ability to empathize with other beings and stunted it with with a bunch of half-assed morality stories about how the world is supposed to work that have nothing to do with reality.
All kids are victimized but most conservatives don't care until it's their kid specifically. Kind of like most political issues that people who have empathy care about.
So conservatives don't care if the children of liberal parents are victims?
No they don't. They immediately jump to "they must have deserved it."
If you honestly believe that you are so full of hate your judgement is off.
Then maybe they should do something.
I didn't say I believe that, it's what conservatives believe.
Let me simplify this for you:
That right there is my point. What are the deaths of a few children so long as there are zero restrictions placed on gun ownership? They won't care until it affects them in a very personal way. The people with the capacity to change things are presently choosing not to. One has to wonder what would finally cause them to do something.
And I'm not even asking for anything crazy like the assault weapons ban that has been floated recently. We can't even get the most reasonable legislation passed.
Our answer to "more gunmen" cannot be "more guns". Or, rather, it can, but take a look around. How's that working out for us?
Wow. Just wow. There was an attempt.
You're seeing what you want to see my man, not what's actually written. Try again.
