@SSBak_i @Hello_World @newstart_2024 In poor countries, having children adds labor value to your family. The kids can help out on the farm, work and bring back money and you don't have to pay to babysit them or send them to school. In industrial countries like children subtract value with a ton of cost associated.

@miludindodin @Hello_World @newstart_2024 The "affordable" homes in places like Tokyo, where most of of the population lives, are extremely small with zero room to have someone over, much less have children

@rapidbastion @Hello_World @newstart_2024 Migrants get homes for free and subsidized off welfare. Natives need to pay for a home, the paperwork and medical bills for having children, along with food, health insurance and so on.

@Zylo_WFBR @Hello_World @newstart_2024 In the past, you could claim a chunk of land nobody owns and build a shitty hovel to do subsistence farming. A lot harder to do these days. Try again.

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@Hello_World @newstart_2024 Money is 90% of the reason. Affording a house with even just 2 bedrooms requires both the husband and wife to be working for a decade or more unless the husband is working an extremely high value job.

@RealPostFolder How are teens supposed to get better jobs if they can't make a living wage off of low-skill jobs? School costs money, loans debt trap young people and rent is crazy expensive and it's not like these "low-skill jobs" have transferable skills to being an office drone.

@broadwaybabyto Okay, but what does Idaho or Maine (Both states with some of the lowest gun violence rates and lax laws) have to do with my part of NE? There's no place within a 50 mile drive for the shooter to run into a state with lax gun laws. It's either RI or states with stricter laws.

@vinceypouh @iammissjinxed "Gun deaths"
So you're including suicides in this comparison to skew the data.

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@ZacksJerryRig Well the laws didn't work either. RI has an assault weapons ban, 10 round magazine limit, red flag law and 3 day waiting period, while also being surrounded by states with even stricter requirements.

@RyanShead "If I'm wrong about gun control all the things I say would happen will happen"
If you were wrong about gun control, nothing would change. After all, the argument for gun control is that more gun control would save lives. Which it did not in this case.

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@TheTNHoller RI has redflag laws, an assault weapons ban, a three day waiting period and a 10 round magazine capacity ban. We're surrounded by states with similar laws. We're as "common sense" as it gets. Yet this still happened.

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@namicocopeoples @WendyDianee_ @jl600_ @supernalmystic @anyonewantchips Either the state apparatus needs to be able to predict the future, we federally disarm everyone as feature bans, licensing and "safe storage" would do nothing when talking about mass shootings, or we resolve deeper problems within the US.

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@namicocopeoples @WendyDianee_ @jl600_ @supernalmystic @anyonewantchips Because your only argument is platitudes about how "it's not enough" when all the systems are already in place. They clearly do not work, as proven by the fact we're even having this argument. If people with no prior record are shooting up schools, what law exists to stop them?

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@SamSquiresDan @no_name_given12 @RichardAngwin @CalltoActivism Only one within a 30 mile drive in NH, and bringing it into the state is still illegal. Even just having the firearm and ammo separate in the driver's cab is illegal in RI.

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@namicocopeoples @WendyDianee_ @jl600_ @supernalmystic @anyonewantchips But the access is severely restricted within the state it happened. It's quite literally illegal to have a loaded firearm in your car in RI, or even one with the ammo and weapon within the driver's cab. The only thing that would have stopped this is precognition or disarmament.

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@namicocopeoples @WendyDianee_ @jl600_ @supernalmystic @anyonewantchips Oh, like Red Flag laws or waiting periods. Which RI already has, and did nothing. Quite literally the only thing left to do is more bandaid fixes and hoops for legal gun owners or actually solve the problem.

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@namicocopeoples @WendyDianee_ @jl600_ @supernalmystic @anyonewantchips The access is significantly stricter than the past federally. Background checks happen in every store, you are automatically flagged if you have conviction and get a visit from the feds. RI is even more strict, as is our neighbors. So again, how did the laws change anything?

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@namicocopeoples @WendyDianee_ @jl600_ @supernalmystic @anyonewantchips Hell, the bureaucratic system tracking mental health and criminal history was weaker and less connected in the past. Meaning it was easier to get a firearm in a time of crisis prior to the 90s. So again, what actually changed?

[Lady Eris @LadyErisXII]

@namicocopeoples @WendyDianee_ @jl600_ @supernalmystic @anyonewantchips But access has only gotten more restrictive. Your argument falls apart, many of the system that restrict access did not exist until recently. The NICS and 4473 system did not exist until 1993. AWBs are a modern concept. As are red flag laws and waiting periods, which RI has.
