Reply to comment by eli_underhill in Seattle students planning walkout on Monday following Ingraham High shooting by greenhousecrtv

The first one happened and instead of facing facts people rallied for more guns, because you know, that makes everyone safer. Ask yourself, do you feel safe in high school in america? Heck any school really. There's been mass shootings of kids from kindergarten to college and nothing has changed.

What a thought that is 😆.Imagine if scientists were like "but we had bats before and they didn't spread a global virus like this before" omg what do we do 😥. Then sit on their hands and go about their business while the people keep dropping like flies from a problem they can fix. Its a problem for now, we fix it now because its happenning now and we have the tools to fix it and no, wishful thinking is not a tool that will fix anything.

So we should get rid of bats because a virus escaped a lab? I guess that makes as much sense as banning guns because of a mental health crisis.

Doing nothing sure is working isnt it? You cant ban bats because they are not made at out leisure. Guns unlike bats are a human creation.

Well you can’t ban guns either without an amendment to the constitution.
