I’m in favor of a conversation. I’m not a “special kind of stupid” for wanting a discussion.
FWIW, the biggest problem with what happened in Uvalde is that those who were responsible for protecting the children did EVERYTHING wrong — leaving a door open, not allowing teachers to defend themselves, not allowing the police to go in and put a stop to the killing, and so on.
In this instance, no additional legislation would have stopped the massacre.
Yes, you are. How many extended warranties have you purchased? Intelligent people don't even pick up the phone because they know it is a scam to begin with.
In fact "having a conversation" with a telemarketer/scam artist is far less dangerous and stupid than "having a conversation" about gun control. These people have been at this for decades. Their stated and affirmed goal is total confiscation. They steadfastly refuse to enforce any kind of law intended to stop mass shootings because they are far too useful in achieving their ultimate goal. The last body hadn't even hit the floor before they were jumping with glee at another chance to advance their goal.
It is way past time to catch a clue and if you refuse to you are one of them.
