    So, a landlord that purchased land, had a home built and maintains said home, while paying insurance and the mortgage on the property isn’t improving our society by providing housing to those who don’t have the means to do all of this?

    No they do not get their sources from gov and police records. They pull them from local news sites and blogs.

    And 95% of the shit on here is gang/drug violence and most are not killed. It’s not just school shootings, which rarely happen. Even the AP says we have only had 15 mass school shootings since Columbine. And Motherjones even called these stats out.

    Do we have a violence issue? Yes. Is it because of the gun? No. Our society needs fixing. There are a ton of things we can do that would have a way larger and more positive effect than trying to ban 450+ million firearms.

    Just this stuff would do %1000 more to curb all our violence than banning firearms:

    • Ending the War on Drugs

    • Ending Qualified immunity

    • Properly funding our schools and not just rich white suburb schools.

    • Build more schools and hire more teachers for proper pay so the class room sizes aren’t 30-40 kids for one teacher.

    • Single Payer healthcare

    • UBI (at least start talking about it) once AI takes over most of the blue collar jobs.

    • End for profit prisons

    • Enforce the laws already on the books

    • Make sure there are safety nets for poor families so the kids don’t turn to violence/gangs to survive.

    • Increase the minimum wage

    • Recreate our mental healthcare so kids don’t turn to the internet for support. And to help veterans not end up as a suicide number.

    • Actively make a law to solidify Pro-choice rights. More unwanted children do not help our situation.

    • Banning Insider Trading for Congress

    • Term limits

    • Ranked Choice Voting so we can move away from a 2 party system






  • Yes because how many people has communism raised out of poverty? O right I forgot how russians are stealing washers and toilets from Ukrainians and NK is an amazing place in the summer…or how china doesn’t have suicide nets or social credit scores…

    The only people who want communism are the idiots from the west in their nice apartments, who have never lived under communism…lol
