Of course, women are to blame for everything.

reddit.comIts mind blowing what sitting congressmen and senators can get away with saying because they have an (R) next to their name and their voters don’t care at all

At this point in-time I think I've lost all sympathies for Republicans voters.
They're either guilty of ignorance (and I do mean guilty, as it is their responsibility to stay informed when participating in the civil process) or outright antagonist to societal progress.

There was a study that concluded that Reps' main value was loyalty to hierarchy and Dems' was loyalty to principles.
That's why Reps will not give a flying eff that Gaetz is a pedophile. Gaetz is high up in the hierarchy, so he gets a pass. But Dems will rip Nancy a new one because she pushed a kid out of the way. Because whatever the situation, elbowing a kid is wrong - and they are correct.

What if the guns were to blame for mass shootings?
95
Yes that combined with a huge mental health crisis that people also just seem to be ignoring…

Tbh I don't think it's related to that (though that is something serious obvi) cause women have high rates of various mental health things, add in bullying, and y'know misogyny obvi and we aren't causing mass shootings

Here's a little fun fact: some EU countries actually do have access to guns for civilians (Finland, Germany, Switzerland, to name a few), however, I think there's 2 main things that make the difference: these guns are not allowed to be carried for "self-defense", and the fact that we have easy access to mental health treatment.
Restricting the access to guns heavily and having a stable health care system will in fact lower the numbers of mass shootings. But I think those old, white american politicians would rather send their kids into a school shooting than lose their guns.
If I am correct, Finland, out of all countries in the EU (idk about Russia), has the most guns per 100 civilians, and they haven't had a school shooting in 10 years.

Finnish person here, I think you’re right. We actually have a lot of guns per capita, but I can’t remember the last time I heard of someone being murdered with one. Even the cops don’t pull their guns often, I think they pull them out like literally once a year.

Hmm, whatever gave you that outlandish idea? :)

Sorry dear human, devil's advocate here.
Let us get this straight, and not accuse innocent guns of something they did not want to partake in. No no no, we preach individual responsibility for the person who shot the gun, but also for the whole system that has failed them. Have you seen the state of hospitals and schools ?? That's not a place to grow up sanely, we put the blame on the people in power who did not save these vital institutions! And what about the women who laid that poor lady astray... Well, this one is a little bit more complicated, but we think we could blame the patriarcal institutions that made him believe he was entitled to another human's body and mid, and also this cesspool of degeneracy called "incel community" which exacerbated this feeling. And to finish on the gun, again we do not blame it, we blame the gun lobbies who consistently fight against everyone's right to be safe!
TLDR: the culprits are the person doing the shooting, gun lobbies, corrupt politicians, gun lobbies, patriarchy, incels and gun lobbies! Please don't blame that poor piece of metal called a gun!

Guns don't have feelings or wants. They are a weapon. They are designed for death.

I'm sorry, I assumed that with the absurdity of exactly that sentence, it would be clear that I was sarcastic and that guns absolutely are to blame
3
It's so hard to tell because I've had people say that exact thing but mean it wholeheartedly. Being from the deep south, you hear some strange takes from pro-gun people lol.

Well, in that case I expect to see the frequency of mass shootings decrease considerably in the near future.

Roe vs Wade got overturned about a week ago and the US STILL had a shooting on July 4

I won't hold my breath, tbh.

Imagine being such a delicate little snowflake that you get so triggered by someone merely talking about privilege, that your only option is to indiscriminately murder a bunch of strangers at a holiday parade.

Every day I wake up and discover that I’m to blame for something new.

Loool

This is them saying. "The killings will continue until you shut up, sit down, and breed like you're told". Their way of fixing this will be martial law.

What the actual fuck is wrong with America?

The darkest timeline.

thats what i wonder everyday.

To be fair the last time the gentleman in the 1st slide saw a lady unclothed was during his birth. Also fuck this guy and his ilk.

Alternative title: Republican Politician says outrageous and inflammatory statement to get attention from an easily baited media and to distract from the real cause of pervasive gun violence—the guns.

It should be illegal to be this stupid

they'll blame Women, they'll blame Trans people, they'll blame Black people, they always project

Abortion has been partially legal in Canada since 1969 and legal without restrictions since 1988. Yet our mass shootings are few and far between compared to the US. So he can try again

What percentage of mass shootings are perpetrated by men?
10
According to this:
As with almost every mass shooter in recorded U.S. history, both of the suspects in the recent attacks are men.
A staggering 98% of these crimes have been committed by men, according to The Violence Project, a nonpartisan research group that tracks U.S. mass shooting data dating back to 1966.

If we can't ban guns, let's just ban men.
25
Nah, there's good ones. I vote we fight harder to ban guns. :)

Any time that I've ever argued that its a predominantly MALE problem (not considering race or age etc.) it comes down to them arguing that its not really a MALE problem because men are at a higher risk of death....
From other men... and then it somehow turns back on how that's not fair and its not fair to blame all men because "not all men". But dude, in some cases... its mostly almost all men. How can you argue with actual numbers? But they argue anyways, and it boils down to something not being fair and women just being born with better social connections and how everyone loves women.

If you're interested, some names of women who commited school shootings are:
- Brenda Spencer (Elementary School)
- Laurie Dann (Elementary School)
- Latina Williams (College)
- Amy Bishop (University, she was a professor... she was absolutely nuts, heres a video)

I really am running out of words to describe my frustration.

this is so fucking ridiculous.

I'm probably reaching into heaven with this, but just maybe, the reason for mass shootings are the guns...
Europe barely has any mass shootings and (at least in EUnion), better women's rights.
Guys I think I'm onto something here.
5
This is what happens when you let incels and men with incel-esque mindsets have unchecked power without any form of consequences for their immoral opinions and ideas.
The problem is not women having rights. The problem is toxic men who can't handle criticism nor rejection, which is bound to occur with women having the right to choose their own partner.

Uhhhh…how does Humpty Dumpty figure that?

He sustained a closed head injury when he fell off that wall.
Now all the king's horses and all the king's men can't put his common sense back together again

Too bad he survived

They sound like incels, but unlike incels they have powers, and this is dangerous for women.
They’re incels on a power trip, disguised by a veneer of respectability
I used to say that I am not taking redpillers lightly. Once in positions of power, they WILL do nasty sh*t to women and women's rights.
I was looked at as if I were a lunatic. Nah, it's just men letting off steam, let men have their spaces etc.
Really? Sure, bro, go hike with your friends or whatever. That's great and beautiful, I'm not going to be bothered.
But once you start gathering to spew misogynistic and supremacist hate, I am going to be wary of you, I will know we are at war and YOU SHALL NOT effing PASS. :)
I mean look at this guy. Surely he's involuntarily abstinent.
