Cacophony.  That's pretty.  What's it mean?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Our wings are not tired.

People talk about see something say something, but everyone knew the kid was a time bomb. He legally owned the assault rifle and all the social media scary shit photos and talk wasn't illegal. He was expelled from school for his violence, yet he was able to walk into the school with smoke bombs, a gas mask, and assault rifle.

Everything in his history screamed this guy should not own weaponry, and yet not illegal.

I have to once again steadfastly avoid gun loving family and friends because I am the one that can't be civil.

I don't understand what the authorities are supposed to do about someone who seems dangerous but hasn't broken any laws.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Laura, that was exactly the point I just made on FB to someone who was talking about "warning signs"

I know. And yet we have to find a way to solve this.

Totally jealous of the 22222 post! Two is my number.

Make guns illegal.

I don't think there are any politically viable solutions.

If requiring a firearms license to own or purchase a firearm was politically viable, then I think there are things that could be done. Revoking or denying a license for domestic violence would be really helpful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The problem is that literally nothing is politically viable, apparently.

I wish you all could take advantage of the glorious distraction that is the conversation on my local NextDoor site, started with a simple question: "Is fluoride bad?"

That's what I found so frustrating about the bump-stocks. We can't even outlaw something that exists solely to get around existing laws? It's not I think outlawing bump-stocks is going to save a bunch of lives, it's just such a low bar and even that is too much.
