  7. 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?

  25. …At least 22 people have been fired on by agents involved in Trump’s #deportation crackdown since he took office for his second term in January 2025. Six people, including three #US #citizens, have been killed as a result of those #shootings, nearly all of which involved officers firing at people in vehicles.

    [because they weren’t properly trained. And they believe they can kill with impunity.]

  29. In recent months, video evidence has disproved several #federal law enforcement accounts of #shootings by #immigration agents.

    In the #Houston killing, surveillance videos broadcast on local television show #ICE cars tailing the white van & appearing to cut it off. Others appear to show immigration agents hovering over a man holding his abdomen. More images show another man on the ground, his hands behind his back.

  35. CW: Workplace murder, US

    Holy shit. I started working for a US-based company in May, and I've started online workplace training, including "workplace assailant: awareness"

    * 351 in-workplace #shootings in the US last year
    * They've changed the terminology to include vehicular and bladed #weapon attacks
    * "Drop in productivity" is a signal that someone may be considering a workplace assault
    * "Bringing a #gun to work" may not be a problem, if state laws allow.

    Yeah, no I don't want to visit HQ.

  37. Outsourcing stochastic terrorism is bit of a paradigm shift we've been seeing more and more of.

    "Young people are being hired to carry out #shootings at targets around #Toronto, including #Jewish #schools and #synagogues, and the #US #consulate, Toronto’s police chief, Myron Demkiw, told reporters on Tuesday.

    Demkiw called the conference to provide an update on arrests made in multiple #firearm discharge investigations, including the shooting at the #USConsulate that took place on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, and the killing of a veteran Toronto police officer last week during a raid linked to the shootings."
