President Biden and Vice President Harris Announce Additional Actions to Reduce Gun Violence and Save Lives.
New Executive Order Directs Federal Agencies to Combat Emerging Firearms Threats andImprove School-Based Active Shooter Drills Today, President Biden and
You're viewing a single thread.
Summary: Previously Biden/Harris threw money at law enforcement. But, now they're wanting more active shooter drills in schools and to throw money at virtue signaling through a task force focused on 3D printing.
Editorial: They'll do anything but take from corporations to provide hope for the children's future.
Edit: Most of you are idiots. Someone upvoted. Despite this being very anti-Biden/Harris, all of you follow and no one engages meaningfully. This breaks the dominant false dichotomy of supporting whatever leadership chooses because, "It's not Trump". Consistency would deserve more respect than mindless agreement.
Yesterday my 5 year old came home from Kindergarten and when asked about his day he said "We did a drill where we hid in our room because someone might come in and kill us".
This is the world we live in now.
Decades ago they were hiding under desks fearing nuclear bombs. To a 5 year old, why's it any different?
Before that some groups were assaulted for attempting to go to school. Before that there was hardly any school and instead kids worked jobs.
So this is the world we live in now? What does that really mean? It implies things are worse. They're not worse. Just different.
This completely glosses over the periods of times, in some cases decades, where none of those things happened. The Cold War was winding down when I started school and we never did a duck and cover. I graduated the year Columbine occurred so they didn’t institute active shooter drills till after. I’m in one of the lucky few age ranges where my biggest anxiety at school was bullies. This period of school my kids are in is very much worse than when I was in their equivalent grades.
"Someone": another young person who correctly perceives no hope for a life of dignity.
They want research done on the cost / benefits of active shooter drills, and how they can be improved. Nowhere in this does it say "Let's do more of these drills."
The gun stuff isn't just about 3d printing but all emerging technologies that can be used to produce illegal firearms. They are again trying to gather information on what can be done about it.
There are also a bunch of suggestions like lock up your guns and funding for counseling and red flag laws.
I would also like to point out that one of Harris's policies is to raise the corporate tax rate, but that's not what this executive order is about.
Alternatively, we could at least provide a vision of a future decent enough that children couldn't perceive the shallow lies. But, neolibs gonna' neolib. And, you're drinking the Kool Aid even children reject.
Working dead-end jobs for those corporations is the children's future and they don't want to change that.
Aww dangit
