    I mean, it can’t be the guns. Guns don’t kill people. It must be the bullets. Those are what will kill ya.

      Since politicians seem to care more about this fully survivable condition than the #1 cause of death for children and teenagers, maybe someone should invent a bullet that gives kids autism. They’ll finally implement some gun control then.

    We used to have guns but few mass shootings. The obvious link is between the accelerated impoverishment & corrosion of society by an increasingly greedy capitalist oligarchy and outbreaks of violence.

      Sure, sure. But you can’t spell capitalist oligarchy without GOP.

        The two major parties are not the same but they are both guilty in this case.

    I’ve gotten so insanely tired of all the random bullshit this vaguely human shaped sack of refuse, and all his cronies keeps spouting. They say inane shit, and that gets blasted left and right, while they do all sorts of underhanded evil bullshit behind the curtain of nonsense they just put up.

    While we’re laughing at idiotic ideas like “curing autism” and “paracetamol causes autism” we’re playing right into their fucking hands. This is the nonsensical “4D chess” they’re talking about. It’s not even funny at this point.

    Ironically I think if Trump could get away with banning guns, now he probably would.

    If

    Gun don’t kill people, people do

    Then

    Paracetamol don’t cause autism, doctor did

    Shouldn’t we start banning doctor now?

    I’ll never get tired of the scathing criticisms of Trump elegantly written by people smarter than him.

    But I am tired of nothing getting done. Criticism is great but I want something to change. Something more than words in an article.
