I'm glad he was there and able to save lives.

He's proof that armed civilians can be a force for good but I doubt that the majority of armed civilians would be as cool-headed and quick to react as he was.

Meanwhile another mass shooting occurred the day after, and the day after, and the day after. I’m not sure deputizing an entire country would be a net gain.
Better solution would be to stop coddling criminals.

It's interesting that the folks clambering about stricter gun laws are the same folks who advocate for decriminalizing things like property crime, quality of life crime, shoplifting, no cash bail, etc. :ohno:

Starbucks CEO slams woke leaders for allowing the crime wave causing his chain to shutter 16 profitable stores because of assaults on staff, with more closures to come. Yet this is the same CEO who made the dumbass decision 4 years ago to let non paying customers hang out in his stores amd use their bathrooms, an invitation for vagrants to hang out in Starbucks, with staff not allowed to have them removed.

I don't have anything against climate change policy that eventually gets us to a better place in terms of reduced emissions, and even if other countries like China and India do not follow suit. I agree, in the end, the planet and us will have to bear the burden of that, but it's still a worthy goal we should pursue and it's a goal we should adopt even if others don't. It's the right thing to do and I'm fine with us being an example for others to emulate.

What I do have a problem with is government adopting timelines rather than allowing the details and the science to progress to get to those goals. Nothing wrong with a stick and a carrot approach, but the one we've been on has been on the unreasonable side of things. Part of Biden's disastrous time as President so far has been due to jumping too early from the fossil fuels (and regardless of what's presented, he made that a goal from day one and his actions have certainly played a huge part in the inflationary consequences of those moves) without the next step (non-fossil fuel energy) being ready to step into the resulting void. There's a lot of unnecessary economic and social pain that could certainly be avoided with better planning and execution at the government side of things with regards to shifting energy in this country. And of course, nuclear has been sitting there for decades providing exactly that bridge.
:nod:
I don't have the link handy right now, but I read today, which makes sense, that we have more global deaths due to cold temperatures in a given year than we do global deaths due to hot temperatures. In fact, with temperatures rising over the past few years, although we now have more news covering the hot deaths, total global deaths due to weather temperature have been lower over time as the planet warms. Of course, that means more people on the planet to produce more greenhouse gases, but an interesting point nonetheless.

Joe Rogan Fights Critics Who Claim He’s a Republican, Defends Gay Marriage: ‘I’m a Bleeding Heart Liberal’
Rogan then lashed out at people who claim he is a “secret conservative,” saying, “You can suck my dick. You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. I’m so far away from being a Republican. Just because I believe in the Second Amendment and just because I support the military and just cause I support police [doesn’t mean I’m a Republican].”

“Like I was on welfare as a kid. I think it’s important. I think having a social safety net is crucial. We should help each other,” Rogen concluded. “We’re supposed to be one big community. I’m a bleeding heart liberal when it comes to a lot of shit.”

Thw results of woke CJ reform every day in the LA, San Fran, NYC, etc
A California murderer who was freed under woke reforms just five years into his sentence of 50 years to life has been busted again — accused of leading cops on a car chase while high on drugs and carrying a gun, according to the prosecutors who’d helped get him free.

Andres Cachu was a 17-year-old gangbanger in 2015 when he gunned down Louis Amela, 41, during a robbery in Los Angeles, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.…
