Option 1: Defend American schoolchildren by deploying thousands of hunter-killer kamikaze super-cops Option 2: Restrict firearms. The rest of the civilized world chooses 2. It's not really such a baffling problem. — PolitiTweet.org

If a gunman in a school is too difficult and dangerous for a typical local police force to handle, the right response is not to condemn local police forces as cowardly. The right response is to discredit the "good guy with a gun" fantasy. — PolitiTweet.org

@Hari37718110 @archer_rs But you need the scope in case the person you're defending yourself from runs away.

... you took such words seriously. Is there any other social problem that we address in such indirect, elaborate, expensive ways? "Our town's got a flooding problem. We could fix the storm sewers. OR WE COULD INVENT SPECIAL PLANES TO TOW ALL THE RAIN CLOUDS TO THE NEXT STATE!" — PolitiTweet.org

For 48 hours after every gun massacre, gun advocates invoke all kinds of vast social causes: fatherlessness, irreligion, alienation, anomie, urban life. They don't propose to *do* anything about these giant abstractions, they're just words to say. So they say them. But suppose — PolitiTweet.org

I'm looking at photographs of my old high school in Toronto. I count at least six doors. I may have missed some. The school was founded in 1911. No gun massacres in all that time. It's not the doors. It's the guns. — PolitiTweet.org

The useful thing about the doorway debate is that it clarifies how gun rights devour all other freedoms. The price of the right to buy an AR-15 at age 18 includes the loss of a child's freedom to use a side door. — PolitiTweet.org

@Morning_Joe Gun politics is above all sexual politics. As the position of men in American society has become more uncertain, millions of uncertain men have turned to firearms for reassurance.

Near the top - maybe at the top - of the real-world uses of guns in the US is to enable men to terrorize the women in their lives. "4.5 million American women have been threatened by a gun-wielding partner or former partner." https://t.co/gpW6t3F2tH — PolitiTweet.org
