Oh wow.

If you think that mansplaining about "not assault weapons" and "assault weapons" in light of today's events in Las Vegas is going to be helpful in discussing the huge gun violence problem the USA has, you are the problem.

50+ dead, 400+ taken to hospitals.

Save us all the wisdom you need to share about the bullshit you believe.

This is how these guys handle everything - by dragging us out into the weeds of the mansplains rather than actually addressing the issues.

Don't be a dick.

First, do no harm.

When you don't have a satisfactory solution, doing nothing is absolutely more prudent.

Said the ostrich before he stuck his head back into the sand.

Not cool, bro. There really is more nuance in play here than "guns = more murder".

[mahnmut]

Well get your shit together as a nation and address those nuances, because right now you're failing. Big time. If you think I'm being "uncool" for saying you've got a huge problem on your hands, so be it.

[garote]

Oh no, I'm totally cool with that. Shit be wack here.

We need to get it all together, like in a little backpack or something, and bury it somewhere.

I'm hot for my electronic solution. Digital scan-based trigger locks that cannot be removed, mandated by law for any new weapon sold. If a criminal gets it, it's bricked. Then we go on a full-scale hunt for the chop-shop bastards who will spring up to subvert the bricking, and throw them each into a dark hole for eternity. If it's good enough to protect our credit cards and party photos, it's good enough to wire into a gun.
