Another Trans attempts attack on schools

Psychologically speaking, we tend to try to understand people through our own experience. Crimes of passion, road rage, quick temper etc, but with premeditated violence against innocents like children, we aren't sick enough to make any sense of it.
Well the people who study these (the psychologists and such), and who pass this information onto others, try to understand their motives, and I'm sure many do sometimes feel anger or rage that might lead them to do that which they would not normally do. The LA shooter, for example, how would any have picked him out as being a mass murderer - instead of just being another angry person? It often is a sudden impulse or a succession of smaller hurts building up that cause some to do the worst.

Pedophiles infiltrate everything, sadly the celibate priesthood and proud church institution provides a sanctuary.
The priesthood creates conditions for perversion
by prohibiting sex & marriage. And then it enables
sexual abuse by accommodation, secrecy, defense,
& its system of musical chairs parishes for pedophiles.
Note that accommodation of pedophiles & ephebophiles
extends to other Abrahamic sects too, eg, rabbis.

I think most school shooters are children themselves who are selfish. They don’t view the little kids that they murder as children in the way adults see them. The shooters Brain isn’t fully developed. Alot may be suicidal.

Shall we use the same logic to legalize all drugs and let minors drive cars while drunk etc?

After all, using your own logic, "dead is dead" right?
And if children are allowed to use bikes eventhough it kills some of them, why not let them drive drunk or sniff coke?

Dead is dead is fact.
You can try to twist my post anyway you like.

No. It's a policy problem.

Guns are dangerous things.
But in the US, they aren't treated as such. Instead, they are treated like a commodity.
That's the root of the problem.

It's almost easier to get your hands on a gun then it is to get your hands on an alcoholic beverage as a minor.

Its a policy problem. They aren't treated right. They aren't stored right,. They are misused. etc etc.

That all falls under its a people problem.

Okay, but what about my questions?
Good luck getting a cromulent answer.
People who see trans folk as depraved deviates, need
only a single example of one. This is sufficient to paint
the entire group negatively. It's an ad hoc rationale
that's never applied to one's own tribe.

Like the southern baptists


That's not 205 names, that's 205 pages of names. Doesn't seem to be limited to institutions, either, when we look at cases like the josh duggar and his family or kent hovind and his friend chris jones

Come to think of it, something similar happened at a church I went to when I was a kid. The youth pastor turned out to be molesting the teenage kids at youthgroup. I don't remember much from those days as I was like 6 or so and was too young to go to the youth group. Aparently the guy went to the pastor and confessed his "sin," so the pastor decided to treat the situation with prayer rather than calling the authorities

Later on everyone found out what happenned and they were pissed about it. It caused a huge amount of people to leave the church and there was a huge split. To this day the guy never faced prison time for what he did from what I've heard - I suspect by the time anyone tried to act it was past the statute of limitations, but that's only a guess. I have no real idea why he never faced reprecussions for his actions

I should call my parents and talk to them more about it. I totally forgot about that event until just now, huh

I don't think so.



Note: by "banning", I don't understand that to mean a complete 100% ban on any and all types of gun ownership.
Private guns aren't illegal across the board in Belgium for example. Instead, they are just heavily regulated. Licensing is extremely strict and there are very strict rules also concerning registration, use, storage,...

The main problem is that the US treats it like a commodity with barely any regulation, and the little regulation there is, is easily bypassed.
When you have more private guns then citizens, it should be no surprise that it's as easy to obtain them illegally as it is for minors to get their hands on a beer....

What I also find to be extremely disturbing is to see citizens in the US simply carry their guns out in public.

I mean, look at this:

No, these are not army people or officers of any kind. These are just "citizens". Walking around like that.
I mean... wth...???
I file this under the silly behavior that some people like to engage.

I disagree that that there is not a better way to achieve a reduction in death numbers, and what is more, I believe addressing root issues are impacting people would reduce not just gun deaths but deaths unrelated to guns.

Naturally we will both advocate for the methods we think best. While I have spent a lost of time considering gun regulation and other methods to reduce death and crime rates, I would encourage you to entertain alternatives. If you still believe Gun regulation is the most efficient method, then perhaps reasonable minds just disagree. Certainly no harm there.

Don't pretend you have noticed a huge upswing in trans related controversies in the news recently. And drag shows, even though that's transvestites rather than transgendered, but of course conservatives wouldn't differentiate.

When it makes news people will run with it. Be it Trump, trans, Biden, or whatever.
I don't view them a witch hunts

Given the prevalence of guns being purchased under false pretense by a person allowed to own one who then gives it someone not allowed, I think this should be more broad and even if it's adults the one who illegally gave it away should face some sort of criminal liability.
For this to work I believe we would need a database if gun ownership and mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms.

"guns being purchased under false pretense by a person allowed to own one"

Examples?

So does the boy scouts, girls scouts, gymnastics middle schools.......and on and on. Pedophiles are everywhere. Now boys can pretend to be girls and go into the girl's bathroom. What could possibly go wrong?
