Florida lawmakers vote to label porn a ‘public health risk’, after refusing to consider an assault weapons ban


Hmmmm....., didn't I keep hearing that the problem is not porn but the people who choose to watch porn??

Oh wait, of course not. That logic only applies to guns. Silly me.

Too many Republicans in Florida politics. That is the real problem.

That's because guns AREN'T the problem. Time to remind everyone, again, that the FACT is that as the gun ownership rate increased by 50%, the gun homicide rate DECREASED by 50%, and the nonfatal violent gun crimes rate DECREASED by 76%.

Yeah, but why let a perfectly good crisis go to waste?

What we need is to vote out these politicians who engage in political porn. Those hypocritical Pub legislators who rant against porn and prostitution then are caught being addicts of these services.

But these hypocrites with their false outrage about these social issues and their effects on children, will rush to defend assault rifles before the blood and brains of teenagers scattered on the walls and floors of schools are even dry.

Just scum by another name.

Another reminder that these shootings happen in spaces where guns are ALREADY ILLEGAL to begin with (when talking about schools)...

Criminals don't obey laws, more laws aren't going to Suddenly make them start obeying them.

BTW, more people in the US are killed by obesity (#1 killer in the US), should we ban fast food? Require exercise, fine those that don't meet a base maximum bodyfat percentage? More people are killed while driving, should we ban cars? More human lives would be saved by Either of those options than by allowing a Government to reach even further into Tyranny than they do already.

Better to address the problem than slap a bandaid on the result.

That is the NRA and gun lobby mantra. Blood in schools means talk of gun legislation means go out and buy more guns!

Why let dead teenagers get in the way of a good bargain.

That is one crazy state. Usually you hear about someone living there doing something insane, but even that gets crowded out by their legislators from time to time.

Comparing gun murders to cars and obesity? You lose before you ever get started.
