"These biased and immoral news agencies now are permitted to spew out their “constipated words and diarrhetic thoughts” to pump up and maintain their viewership." Yeah, chief, that's the First Amendment at work. Sorry you hate it. You'd hate the alternative more.

From a Constitutional standpoint, Vance's claim is *far more radical* than, say, expanding SCOTUS, gun control, or a wealth tax. Under Art I § 8, coining/borrowing money has always been up to Congress, not POTUS, and Congress set up the Fed to run the way it does. Vance wants all of that scrapped.

Fundamentally, Americans probably shouldn't be trusted with firearms overall.

So for all intents and purposes, if you take the guns away (It's the guns!!!) you cut down on the death BUT you still have to address the root cause and that won't ever happen so long as half the people deny that it's a problem, and half can't articulate the problem and both only care when . . .

The gun makes it easier to flip that switch to kill and to do more lethal damage in the same amount of time. If you have access to firearms, you don't have to be quite as determined to deal out some death. A simple notion is much easier to act on with firearm access. BUT that's still the people. . .
danzig138 (@danzig138.bsky.social) reply parent
The guns just make it way easier to do the killing. They're a force multiplier. Someone who truly wants to do some killing will do so with whatever weapon they can put hands on. That's why mass stabbing events are also a thing. But that takes a lot more work and tends to leave fewer fatalities. . .
danzig138 (@danzig138.bsky.social) reply parent
But the simple fact is, it's NOT the guns. It's the people, it's the culture, it's anger, rage, mental health and all kinds of shit in different cases and different combinations but the guns aren't making anyone go out and do murder. The guns are not a cursed object from the Curious Goods vault. . .

On the other side, you have the people who only really speak out against guns violence when there is a mass shooting event, and they do with "IT'S THE GUNS!!!!! THE GUNS ARE THE PROBLEM!!!!!" When these are the same people who, when a cop shoots someone and the media prints headlines are like. . .
