Can I interest you in !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al I started it this week. It's for all things women from fashion to strident feminism.

I'm genuinely scared he'd do it if he could. I'm not being flippant. First the nazi salute, now this... in the space of weeks.

I can't stand him. Interesting that's the word you've used cos in Britain it's considered ableist. Can I interest you in the word "wanker" instead? It rolls off the tongue nicely.

Really? With all the gay sex?

Thank you.

Yes that's what I've found! There's less of it but the quality is far better, the atmosphere is far better and it's like reddit used to be years ago. I've missed all that and I'm so glad I found lemmy. ☺️

Hey fellow redfugees!

Np post away! If nothing else I'll chat with you haha

It's sadly not as simple as that when there's already a lot of guns in the country. Realistically that can't be changed in the current system. What would help in the immediate future is PSAs, training for professionals, risk assessments etc that can identify perpetrators. It's not massively expensive and can be implemented in the existing system.

I see your point

Great it's !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al just in the process of building it

That sounds like a tricky size I'm well impressed

Absolutely! With great power comes great responsibility

I agree that this is worth focusing on. Your suggestions would help. Sadly that doesn't remove the firearms already in the US. Meaning that criminals can obtain them.

It's a fair point on ceasing manufacturing, I agree that would help with preventing incidents for future generations.

Yes, it's a slow fix though

Yes, I agree publicised school shootings are generally in the US. Did any of the other countries go from firearms being lawful to unlawful over the last few decades? The US has a huge amount already there, and that's a significant difference.

Is there another country that illegalised guns when there were already a massive amount in the country? I'm unaware of one but happy to be enlightened if there is.

Yep, given the reality of how many firearms there are already, and the resources it would take to remove them... I think we should focus on other things.

I'm referring to the personal remarks you made about me, they were inaccurate. Do you retract them?
