“It’s just a fact of life” he says in only country where this happens regularly
Fuck JD Vance. That is all.
Look, I know I have nice warm cushion-like fat, but I’m not a couch.
I wonder how other countries deal with this fact of life
What makes you think that other countries are real?
Well apparently I’m actually in some sort of Truman Show dome.
And y’all know about the so-called “gun laws” here and how swiftly and easily everything got changed. Seems too good to be true 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Sounds fake, I’m gonna need another mountain of needlessly dead children to find out.
This place is fucking stupid.
No, according to types like Vance, you live in an oppressive hellscape worse than any on the planet.
I ended up on a YouTube video of an officer involved shooting in QLD. The amount of comments gleefully exclaiming “but I thought Aus outlawed all guns?”, “lucky guns are illegal there” and further carry on about all the laws “forcibly” being brought in doing nothing. The amount of comment saying it was retribution for covid lockdown (lmao). This country doesn’t exist except as a political talking point to some of those types.
So he’s unequivocally stating that there is nothing he plans on doing to reduce the killing of children. If you support no action, this is the guy you should support.
In the article he calls for bolstering security at schools. Which I always find funny because what if… And this is a wild idea… But what if there’s a shooting at a location other than a school? Not to mention that studies have shown that the presence of armed guards in schools doesn’t actually do much to deter shootings.
Why would armed guards have an impact? These kids that plan on shooting up their schools are planning it as a suicide mission. It’s a super elaborate suicide by cop, taking out as many of their classmates and tormentors, perceived or otherwise, as possible. Armed guards aren’t going to help. Stricter rules on guns and mental fucking health care might, but that would be actually doing something that the vast majority of Americans support, and we can’t do that. If we let people think overwhelming support for something gets it then they may get uppity and start demanding other things, like unions and healthcare
Guns have more rights than our children
So he’s unequivocally stating that there is nothing he plans on doing to reduce the killing of children. If you support no action, this is the guy you should support.
Remember, after one of the other school shootings (The fact that I cannot remember which one is itself a telling statement, isn’t it?), one of our wonderful elected officials literally stated that they were going to do nothing about it.
Why don’t they just arm all the kids?
They’ve already got 2 arms. You wanna give them more?
If 100 arms is what it takes to guard Tartarus, a couple extra pairs per student should be enough to keep the school safe
Only if your exclusive-ass school has less than 50 kids.
Security will be automatically better if there are less guns.
Less guns > Security
Whoa there pardner, the only thing that stops a bad toddler with a gun is a good toddler with a gun.
The Ohio senator was asked by a journalist what can be done to stop school shootings. He said further restricting access to guns, as many Democrats advocate, won’t end them, noting they happen in states with both lax and strict gun laws. He touted efforts in Congress to give schools more money for security.
I always find this weird because it just completely glosses over the possibilities of A) the restrictions not really doing anything/enough, B) the incredible ease by which someone can just… Go to another state, and C) how absurdly easy it is to purchase firearms in the secondary market.
Well, he has mastered the Trumpian art of finding a way to be wrong even when he isn’t wrong.
He’s right in that more anti-gun laws that are largely toothless and/or performative won’t do jack shit. Of course, the reason for that is that the genie was out of the bottle decades ago. There are just simply too many guns out on the streets already for any kind of anti-gun law to be even remotely effective. If the first two steps of the process aren’t “Reduce the amount of guns currently out on the streets” and “Prevent new guns from made available to the public”, then everything else you try to do will be nothing more than a complete waste of time.
Notice how all the laws that have been passed to combat school shootings with AR-15s have done exactly nothing to stop school shooters with AR-15s. There’s a reason for that.
JD being a couch-fucking weirdo is a fact of life as well.
Yeah that worked real well in Uvalde while they all stood in the hall for a couple of hours.
Not that you would ever want to live in Mexico but:
Between 2004 and 2024, Mexico has recorded 17 school shootings, while the United States has experienced a staggering 288 school shootings from 2009 to 2018 alone, with the U.S. averaging over 87 incidents annually. The disparity is significant: the U.S. has seen over 57 times the number of school shootings compared to the combined total of the other G7 countries during the same period. In contrast, the school shootings in Mexico have generally resulted in fewer fatalities, with most incidents resulting in zero to two deaths. This stark difference highlights the severity of gun violence in U.S. schools compared to those in Mexico, where school shootings are less frequent and often less deadly. The motivations behind these shootings also vary, with the U.S. incidents often linked to mental health issues, bullying, and a desire for notoriety.

Japan had zero. France, Germany, Canada, and Finland each had more than two public mass shootings from 2000-2022, far fewer than the U.S. The U.S. accounts for 76% of public mass shooting incidents and 70% of victim fatalities compared to 35 other economically and politically similar countries, despite making up only 33% of the combined population.
87 incidents annually means one every 4 days or about once a week 😞.
That’s depressing. You are more likely to be in one of those than to win the lottery! That’s just depressing. My kids are at more risk of that than my wife’s chances of winning the lottery so I can stop going to work like a dummy. I don’t mean I work as a dummy, I mean that I’m a dummy for going to work while sending my kids for a daily chance of getting speed holes.
Conclusion: Mexicans don’t know how to aim!
Ah, yes. Let’s treat the symptom and not the cause…
You just know JD Vance eats milk steak.
And is a full on rapist.
I’m not sure what “milk steak” is, but if JD Vance is eating it, I think there’s a better-than-average chance it’s some kind of slang for performing oral sex on a couch.
Somehow this only happens in this country. That’s weird.
