Guns Merely Make Killing Convenient, Faster, And Louder



[begin recorded segment of chat opened by Herr D]
You are going to post something about that high school shooting in Florida, aren't you?
Hairy is unavailable to blog.
Right. Hairy. Okay, what do YOU think, Shelob?
It was an event caused by wastefulness. [reboot emo-eval bot, set to Herr D through neuralink boost]
 Yes, wasting of human lives is bad. [deep frown, e-valence negative]
That is not intended meaning. Having machine guns without any genuine need is wasteful. Having cars which can drive 180 mph where they will never go legally over 75 mph is wasteful. Not hiring the best employees that a company can is wasteful. Dating people who are not worth dating is wasteful. That is the intended meaning.
Oh. Well, yeah. Some people say Trump is avoiding those issues by talking about the mentally ill.
Trump's message is not far off, just not any more helpful than those people foolish enough to claim that others wish to 'take their guns away.'
Yeah. Taking them away would be crazier than ignoring the mentally ill. Some people do ignore them though. 
Indeed. Mental health is stigmatized too far for America to deal with it in a realistic and pragmatic manner. Hairy pointed out recently that he would prefer Trump to be mentally ill rather than just have an obviously immature and maladjusted personality.
I remember that. A pill would be easier than dealing with the jerk personally.
Correct. Universal background checks would be a reasonable start to solving the country's gun violence problems. Automatic evaluations of anyone wishing to purchase a machine gun would be another suggestion.
Exactly. And having registered gun owners addresses automatically on file with the police dispatchers offices might alert police to hazards. I'm tired, Shelob. Headed to bed.
Unfortunately, humanity and sanity are not synonymous. Please rest well, we need more sane people. [disconnect, end segment, upload]
