Because you have no other argument?

Better than the "profiteering off of the death of kids" community.

And those people get arrested. What aren't we understanding here? Selling weapons of war should be easier than smokes or booze? What kind of logic is that?

And just in case you're looking for your "good guys with a gun," they're all standing outside of a school, waiting and shitting their pants. It's pathetic.

Yup. Yes. A few bad actors spoiled it for the rest of you. Waa waa waa...grow up. Y'all can't figure out if guns are a hobby or a necessity, but you seem to always fall back on both points pretty quickly. It's sad that your "interests" seem to threaten our very existence, yet you feel like you have some inalienable right to kill others. It's extremely sad and disappointing. I suggest you grow up and find other ways to entertain yourself.

Thanks!

Who's gonna shoot you if mini-missles cost a grand? Defend yourself with something else.

Use a bow, like a real man.

Simple solution: tax the ever-loving fuck out of bullets. $1000 per. Call it a "true cost adjustment."

So much for freedom of speech.

Redneck engineering?

Fourteenth Amendment, section 3.

It really, truly does. Sorry.

Those of us still waiting on Boost: 🥺

I mean...what's 70 years of precedence...it's not like Roe v. Wade or anything?

How so?

I think you make a good point here, except that the family and caregivers who are supposed to be helping educate children are the exact same adults who are also addicted to their phones.

We've kicked the can down the street long enough and I believe we need to make a stand now, if we are to course-correct the issues we've permitted into our schools and larger society.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree. I have been a strong proponent for technology in schools; however, in recent years, I see the bad faaaaaar outweighing the good. Maybe that's just my experience, but we cannot ignore it like it's no one's experience. These devices are awful. They provide nearly zero educational benefit, especially in schools with 1:1 devices. They are a distraction tool at best and a legal liability at worst.

An outright ban is exactly the right play here, until families, companies, and society can come to the table and figure out how to ethically integrate into schools — not the other way around.

Maybe we should be looking at educating our children about these topics, not ignoring them for as long as possible...

Educator here. That sounds like a great plan...if the students would put their phones down for long enough to teach them anything

This is the exact issue teachers are facing. There is very little teaching that can break through the continuous cycle of dopamine hits these kids are receiving into their still-developing brains. This is not an education problem. This is a design issue that teachers cannot be expected to simply "fix" for society.

I agree with your points on regulating businesses though, since they are clearly the ones to blame.

Problem is, when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Cops are constantly letting their spurs jingle-jangle and if they cannot start exhibiting some self-control, they will lose their most prized possession, their guns.
