@ProgressiveCaro@AmericanPigeon@conservmillen Countless more could have died if not for the boarder patrol agent. So yes, an armed man did help stop further killing.
I don’t really get the point you’re trying to make.
@ProgressiveCaro@AmericanPigeon@conservmillen The boarder patrol agent arrived after the shootings had already taken place. He probably saved countless more lives from being taken. The man is a hero.
@aslmdad@D_B_Harrison Also, being homogenous doesn’t apply to just skin color. It could be way of life, values, and upbringing. Countries with much smaller populations tend to all live very similar lifestyles. Again, thanks for trying to discredit my comment by just calling me racist though.
@aslmdad@D_B_Harrison It’s a fact that countries like Sweden or Ethiopia are more homogenous than the United States. That literally has nothing to do with racism. Quit trying to mud sling because you didn’t like the point I made.
@aslmdad@D_B_Harrison Mostly homogeneous countries don’t have a population of 300M to manage. Also, have drug laws stopped drug addicts from illegally acquiring drugs?
@KaylynMcknight@SlowToWrite Gun control doesn’t work. It only disarms law abiding citizens.
Drug laws have done little to stop drug addicts the last 70 years. Do you really think someone who wants to commit a mass shooting won’t go out of their way to acquire gun illegally if they had to?
@Emilia_Chiquis@CovfefeMore @AmyAThatcher The law says the plans only have to offer minimum value. Companies that include more than that minimum value are doing so strictly as a kindness to their employees
@PatrickPatten8@JDCocchiarella@phillykmac You believe criminals care about laws? Drug laws haven’t stopped meth heads from getting more meth.
All gun laws would do is penalize law abiding citizens.
@JDCocchiarella Nah. It’s delicious and they aren’t legally obligated to give health insurance to any of their employees, so literally anything the employees get is a perk. That’s why they’re called benefits. If people want insurance that supports their needs, they can buy it themselves.
@Emilia_Chiquis@CovfefeMore @AmyAThatcher That’s correct. Those jobs could be paying for none of your insurance. It is a benefit they are not legally obligated to provide. It is purely an incentive to work for the said company.
@Alchemista13@CovfefeMore @AmyAThatcher It’s an employee benefit though. That’s why they’re called benefits. It’s a perk to working at that company. We’re lucky that many employers offer anything.
It would be easier if there was universal system, but there isn’t.
