Hope Joe has not forgotten who is the current US president! #GovernenceAtitsBest #TexasSchoolMassacre

@Soossie He is not a novice either. He has served as the vice president before and he is already crossed the half way mark of his tenure. If it has been going on for years and is a well known fact, why it is not in the priority list of the US president ? We can't keep blaming the constitutional amendments for too long. If something is not right and needs a change that needs to be addressed. I doubt he will make any attempts to even think about it.

@SW-User

Constitution can't be changed by presidents... and presidents serve under constitution and they vow to stay loyal to it...

@Soossie Agree. But if a President has absolutely no control over the law and order of the country then it is a real pity. Blaming the constitution is an easiest escape route. I am sure as a responsible person he should put efforts in tightening the safety of its citizens.
Can't fully blame him though. The way he is going about makes people wonder who the real president is. Is he really a remote-controlled president?

@SW-User

Public shooting has happened during most your presidents recently.... remember Las Vegas a few years back??

So @Soossie , if you were the president what would you do in this situation ?
Keep iterating that I am powerless and it had happened before would be the right choice?

@SW-User It's what Trump did. It's what Obama did, and GWB and Obama and Clinton and Bush before him.

@Graylight This is a time to act. It is the time to ensure that such painful doesn't occur in future. If what is happening in a country where one is in a most responsible position, then it makes least sense digging up the history and finding this happened during A,B,C....
It is not the time to dig up excuses. It is the time to work towards a solution. Question is...can he?

@Soossie there is a Deep State which wants to disarm citizens here in order to take over the country. The CIA has used mental hospitals to experiment on children using rape and torture to break their minds and control them in order to carry out such attacks. The head of the program, John Gittinger, lived in my city and used the local mental hospital as one of many hospitals across the country. Children were put in the program at the age of 3 years old, raped and severely tortured. The children they used were often their own illegitimate grandchildren, which they would tell their unwed daughters were being adopted out to couples. The program ran from the 1960s through the 1970 s until it was ended. By that time they knew exactly how to break minds in order to use them for terroir acts and other activities

@SW-User Again, the president can't unilaterally command the nation what to do. That's fascism and we very nearly just tried that.

Do you support Biden removing guns from people? Because that's what will help solve the problem. Nothing else. Nothing short of that. Guns are killing people, guns must be removed. It's an equation any 7-year old can figure out. Stand behind that, and then you can criticize others for not solving a problem 350 million people and 270 years in the making.

@Graylight Yes, I do support removing guns from people. If a country feels safe only when all her citizens are equipped with guns then that is a very sad state.
Real question is can Biden stand up for this ? Or does he has an opinion of his own on any matters?
Fascism can't be defined in binaries. Even if he is unilaterally executing something under the control or influence of other individuals or proprietary groups that also is equivalent to fascism.

@SW-User As a Senator, Biden was one of the primary sponsors of an assault weapons ban that went into effect in the early 1990s and ended during the Bush Administration. So he does have an opinion, and he has been responsible for legislation in this area.

@windinhishair Well, that can't be true. Otherwise, I can't blame everything on Biden.

@SW-User There are many ways to think about guns. For me, I want to be able to defend myself against anyone who tries to rob me, kill me or break into my house.

@SW-User your goal in this post is to criticize Biden, not to address the problem of gun control.

@jeancolby So what that essentially says is that we have to live with the problem and there is no solution.

@windinhishair That's quite informative. Again even if Biden has options does he really have control over his options is the main question. Did he sacrifice his control for money and power.

@SW-User WTF are you talking about. Go read some kind - any kind - of Government for Dummies article.

@SW-User As long as half the government (the GOP) is funded by groups like the NRA, what would you suggest ? If Biden were a dictator, he could have members of the gun lobby arrested as conspirators in these mass shootings. If we didn’t have a mostly conservative SCOTUS they might be ready to repeal the 2nd Amendment instead of Roe v. Wade, in the name of truly "saving children". But Biden is not a dictator. And the GOP values their guns much more than this country’s children.

Especially minority children @bijouxbroussard

@Graylight [quote]Go read some kind - any kind - of Government for Dummies article.[/quote]
Yes, like the one I shared.

@SW-User [c=008099]https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/three-branches-of-government[/c]

@LordShadowfire Exactly like that. And nothing bad to say about ignorance, as long as one takes opportunities to dispel it through education.

After that, it's just willful ignorance and that makes one a rock in the path of collective evolution.

@Graylight I mean, I presented it sarcastically, but a simple explanation is often the best approach when people just don't get it. Nothing against the folks who don't. I just assume the education system failed them.

@BackyardShaman Clearly they’re willing to sacrifice white children too, based on results.

@bijouxbroussard Sadly yes. So we are left with the only option - continue to live with this problem. The least we could do as a courtesy to others is to stop posing ourselves as a human rights model for the entire world.

@SW-User This is the same country that had its own system of American apartheid when I was a child. Anyone who [b]ever[/b] saw it as a model for human rights was woefully ignorant about the realities here.
