It's funny to me how people think banning guns won't stop anyone from getting them if they want one bad enough, but the same people think banning abortions will make people stop getting them.

Isn't it about time we implemented the "well regulated militia" part of the 2nd? I can think of some really good regulations that I'd like.

Wonder if there is some link between the NRA's inflammatory and irresponsible advertisments in the recent past and this 64-year-old murdering people?
BTW? Prayers and good thoughts aren't helping anyone. If there's something that you can do? Do it. If not? I won't tell you to STFU but just because something is expected culturally it isn't necessarily the right thing.

I am an #atheist. I have been for most of my adult life. I grew up in the church, the son of a pastor.

When tragedies strike, I'm critical of the people who will say "OH NO! #thoughtsandprayers"! and then do jack shit else.

As @Stonekettle has repeatedly said: IF you want a better country, be a better citizen.

That's my mantra now. I want our country to be better. I want our world to be better. Now is the time. Now is the place. It's time to talk #guncontrol.

Then I tried to gingerly explain the concept of emotional labor: that I was the manager of the household, and that being manager was a lot of thankless work.

they got a whole pdf backing up this definition, which is not even about emotions in the first place!
