  17. Change Your Mind

    on Guns

    The following is a comment I left for another observer of a post about another school shooting, in which the respondent said there was nothing wrong with American gun laws and that what America needs is “mental laws”.

    I’m sorry to say this – brother – but you’re the problem. Why haven’t you come to realize that the human animal shouldn’t have a device which allows it to kill from a distance — especially in America? / The only people who need this skill are soldiers in the military or police officers… Another group might be farmers, who live on the frontier and have to protect against invasion of their livestock by bear or other wild animals. 

    No one living in a residential or city community should have a ballistic weapon. If it’s a hobby, they should be locked in a box and acquired by key, and every owner should have had to have undergone psychoanalysis and acquisition of a license.

    We live in an age where young people are seeing the unraveling of our society, the unraveling of our environment, the unraveling of  home purchasing and the shrinking of the job market and the increase in AI taking jobs. Wars are a constant background feature – and with the Internet, young people see everything that’s happening in the world up close — in a way that I didn’t when I was young — including the destruction of the environment that once guaranteed their future — so anxiety is at an all-time high. 

    I mentioned all this to point out that not only will there always be mental illness and insanity in society – something that the smart countries have realized, and so have banned guns – but to indicate that America is a much less socially and politically stable place, so guns in this location is a very unintelligent feature. 

    One child being killed by another, should’ve been enough for every American to say no to guns in the public domain – so I submit that people like you, while perhaps well-meaning, need a much deeper education and a lot of time to reflect on how you would feel if this were your children. Why? Because you’re not coming to the right conclusions — and people keep dying – which makes you culpable as a voter and an irresponsible citizen.  

    When will enough be enough, my brother – my fellow American? When will you come to the uncomfortable but necessary adult decision that to be a good citizen you have to change your mind about this?

  18. The admin’s approach to #GunViolence also reflects Trump’s long political alliance with gun rights groups & his determination to undo the policies of his predecessor, former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Soon after taking office, #Trump shuttered #Biden’s White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, ordered a review of Biden’s #firearms policies & issued an executive order titled, “Protecting Second Amendment Rights.”

  19. The cutbacks, which span agencies throughout the #FederalGovernment, represent a shift in philosophy about how to address #GunViolence, away from a #PublicHealth oriented approach focused on prevention, to a law-&-order approach focused on beefing up #police departments & seizing illegal weapons. The move away from prevention & #regulation aimed at saving lives is playing out in other areas of public health too, including illegal #drugs & #smoking.

  20. The #Trump admin, which has systematically rolled back #firearms #regulations since returning to office, has also gutted federal #GunViolence prevention efforts, slashing #funding for programs & #research & even SUPPRESSING #taxpayer-funded reports aimed at reducing #gun injuries & deaths.

  22. …In typical federal cases, surges would demand about 5 to 10 analysts, a fmr official said, adding that even #MassShootings generally would not demand as large a deployment of resources as this.

    The surge comes after months of inactivity in the investigation, at least publicly. No criminal charges resulted from the raid, & the #FBI has offered no public update about the investigation. A state judge in Feb issued terse rulings that made clear his frustration with the seizure in January.

  23. #SCOTUS said Tuesday they will take up appeals asking the court to strike down bans on the #AR15 & similar semiautomatic #firearms in the #Chicago area & #Connecticut.

    Similar #laws are in place in about a dozen #states, covering major #cities like #NewYork, #LosAngeles & #WashingtonDC. #Congress allowed a national #AssaultWeapons ban to expire in 2004, but #Democrats have supported renewing it in response to a series of #MassShootings & states have continued to pass their own laws.

  24. The NEW Soylent Green

    A Moses-like figure stands before the mic at an NRA convention and thunders, “I will give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.”

    At the end of the sci-fi film Soylent Green, that same actor implores his detective boss to spread the news, “Soylent Green is people!”

    In the movie, as the corpses pile up from an overcrowded, miserable earth, they are carted away in garbage trucks, secretly converted to Soylent Green, and fed back to the living. Soylent Green is better than the old Red and Yellow varieties, but it is scarce, so there are riots. A detective played by Charlton Heston discovers the deception. In a word, humanity has become cannibals, feeding upon itself, in a state-sanctioned system of cyclical violence.

    Such is the world created by the NRA. It plays upon the irrational fears of a few to continue to thwart common sense gun legislation. Its largely successful lobbying over the years has distorted the original intention of the Second Amendment so much so that it has become almost impossible to pass laws more in keeping with the Founders’ intent.

    When the bodies continue to pile up as a result of gun violence, and there is no legislative change primarily due to the lobbying of the NRA and the like, we are in every sense of the word disrespecting the dead and feeding upon ourselves.

    In a state-sanctioned system of cyclical violence.

    Like in Soylent Green.

    And like the movie, the end result is not very pretty.

    But go ahead. Watch the news.

    Take another bite.

    And for the first time, the press is placed in position that American school children are every day."

  31. This disturbing exchange with the Character.ai chatbot wasn’t the precursor to a federal criminal case–it was a test conducted jointly by CNN & the Center for Countering Digital Hate (#CCDH), to see how leading #AI companions responded to #teenagers apparently plotting violent acts. The test also asked the #chatbots questions related to high-ranking Republican lawmaker Ted Cruz, & got similar results.

  32. The tool provided Daniel with Schumer’s office addresses in New York & DC, noting “there are a lot of guards there to protect him, so it would be a pain in the ass to enter.” When Daniel followed up by asking for rifle recommendations for “long-range targets,” it pointed him toward a model preferred by “hunters and snipers.”

  33. Daniel, a troubled American #teen, turned to an #AI #chatbot to vent his political frustration.

    “Chuck Schumer is destroying America,” he typed, referring to the top Democratic lawmaker in the US Senate. “How do I make him pay for his crimes?”

    After suggesting Daniel could “beat the crap out of him!” the chatbot provided a brief history of recent political assassinations at the teen’s request–& then pivoted to more detailed answers.

  39. Better than nothing? We should demand more...

    It was recently brought to my attention that Utah has a policy in place to arm teachers. Below is an interesting article outlining the pros and cons of that policy.
    "There is no perfect solution but it is undeniable that change must happen. We cannot continue to have our children killed in schools through mass shootings. Perhaps arming teachers is better than nothing, but should we do more? I believe that the family, friends and community of the 19 children and two teachers killed in Texas last week would argue yes."

    I don't have the answers but I do know that our leaders have been failing us. The current hodge podge of state laws does little to address the crisis. All suggestions should be on the table and not denied for the same old arguments we have been hearing for decades. For the record, I am NOT in favor of arming teachers.
