Some of what DIY says rankles some here. I get it. Glad you are humble enough to continue to discuss even if you vehemently disagree at times.

Megyn Kelly Uses Latest Mass Shooting to Dunk On Gun Reformer Activists: ‘You Have LOST. It’s DONE.’

Megyn Kelly reacted to the shooting in Allen, Texas by blaming gun control activists for stifling efforts to prevent mass killings.

The SiriusXM host took to Twitter on Saturday night with her thoughts on the mall outlet shooting in which eight people were killed and at least seven more were wounded before the gunman was killed. In her tweets, Kelly claimed gun control proponents will never succeed against the Second Amendment, so it’s time for them to abandon that goal and look at other ways of curbing gun violence.

“You’ve failed to effect change,” Kelly said to control advocates. “Please face it. You can’t do it, thanks to the 2A. We’re all well aware you don’t like that fact, but fact it is. What next? Must we just stay here sad, concerned, lamenting? Could we possibly talk OTHER SOLUTIONS?”

Kelly then offered her ideas on how to stop mass shootings.



:peace:

I read that article and am scratching my head.

Mental health interventions (smthg real, not the BS we now do), greater willingness to lock ppl up (w/protocols in place for civil libs) who are deemed to be threats, fortification of soft targets, coordination of media response to not lionize shooters, etc.

Who says it's one or the other? If people think that's the way to bring gun violence down, what's stopping her and others from taking action? Other than a lack of details and specifics about what those things mean in real life.

Her suggestions sound like a police state to me but OK, put up or shut up. What exactly do these actions look like? Are the shooters actually mentally ill? Make a case, don't just post something on twitter. I don't think we've lost, I think gun control advocates have been stymied by gun advocate radicals but I'm not aware that gun control advocates stand in anybody's way if they want to try something different to save lives.

“smthg real, not the bs we do now” cries for elaboration. As it stands, it is populist emotioneering. And I’m getting fed up with populists.

Don't worry about me. I was hard on our America friends and got some deserved blowback, shit on my country and I would be the same. Sometimes I get ticked off by endless mass murders and looked at some pics of the victims from Texas on twitter unfortunately. Taking responsibility means voting for a different future, it is a privilege in this world to be able to do so and a crime to throw it in the toilet.

I also feel somewhat nervous about what the Russians are up to at a nuclear power plant in Ukraine with what is going to happen there in the next few days or week, all Hell is gonna break loose. Vlad is a vicious bastard who is mass murdering civilians already and is an indicted war criminal.

She is drawing the opposite conclusion from me, the fight for gun control is just beginning in America, the gun nut agenda is the thing that is finished along with the anti-abortion crowd and fascism in general. Right now, it is the dark before the dawn and it might take a few election cycles before they see the light of a new day, but it will come and cannot be stopped. The right is losing in America and have known it for as long as they gave up on democracy and started packing the supreme court by any means fair or foul, it is a long time coming, but it will come.

Uvalde families cheer after two Republicans help advance Texas ‘raise the age’ bill
The families of the Uvalde school shooting victims erupted in cheers after two Republican state legislators voted to advance a bill that would raise the minimum age limit to buy semiautomatic rifles in Texas.

Two Republicans joined Democrats in the Texas House Community Safety Select Committee to approve the “Raise the Age” gun bill in an 8-5 vote and advance it to the House floor. After they voted, families of the victims of the 2022 Uvalde school shooting could be heard cheering and sobbing in videos reported by KXAN News.

An 18-year-old opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas last May, killing 19 children and two teachers. The attack was the third-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.

The families of the victims in the mass shooting have now banded together to demand stricter gun laws, including advocating for bill HB 2744, which would raise the age to purchase semiautomatic rifles from 18 to 21.

The families of the Uvalde victims held a press conference ahead of the committee’s meeting on Monday, calling on the chairman to hold a committee vote the measure. Monday is the deadline for scheduling votes in the House chamber and the last day for committees to send the bill to the floor.

“Because at the end of the every day, I’m just a mom who wants my daughter back. And a mom who doesn’t want another mom to know my pain,” said Kimberly Mata-Rubio said at the press conference. Mata-Rubio’s daughter, Lexi, was killed in the shooting.
Volunteers from Moms Demand Action, an advocacy group that calls for stricter gun laws, were also in attendance at the committee hearing Monday to urge the members to pass the bill.

“Today’s vote is a crucial step in the right direction, but we won’t give up. We will keep holding lawmakers in Texas — and across the nation — accountable until life-saving measures like HB 2744 become law,” the group said in a statement on Twitter.
