Maybe movies about school shootings will be this generation’s Vietnam films
You may be onto something there
New, official Spider-Man stories get released all the time. What’s stopping the writers from including a school shooting in a plot? Maybe they already have. Maybe school shootings aren’t a big problem in Queens (that’s where Peter Parker is from, right?).
Good writers don’t want to give Marvel their ideas or characters… so we just get dumb shit like Mary Jane as Jackpot now.
he will, and it’s gonna be a single panel of suddenly the school shooter is wrapped in bodily or synthetic – depending on which spiderman – fluids.
prolly for spidey, this would just amount to a Tuesday side-quest.
American politicians then: “The solution to a bad man with a gun is a good man who can shoot really sticky stuff really far without getting tired”.
Introducing a new hero…. “Bullet Sponge!”
If Spider-Man was invented today he’d be considered a self insert. Jaded nerd gets super powers and constantly inner monologues he could beat up his bully
He could try, but he can’t be everywhere - that one takes vigilance to stop before it happens, i.e. us.
And by vigilance, you mean changing laws to ban free possession of weapons, hopefully?
That would be one way.
I have thought long and hard and have been unable to come up with any other alternatives.
I do wonder if ghost guns may change things, but even so I doubt they can shoot e.g. 1000 rounds per minute. Anyway we should do something, rather than the literally nothing that is currently done.
Edit: to be clear, I am totally okay with people owning 1770’s style muskets:-), it’s those ones such as used in the Vegas shooting scenario that are unprecedented in their ability to lay waste to swaths of human crowds all at once that I think might benefit the most from regulation - and even then, perhaps put exemptions such as someone having served with distinction in the military can “properly” use such. I have no idea how…or for what, but sure, you’ve earned that and it still keeps it out of the hands of the untrained masses.
Eventually a family member of a Republican will be shot in one of these. Maybe then we can do something about it.
I can’t recall exactly but I thought it’s already happened, and if nothing else Dick Chaney shot someone in the face, and continued on to shoot others in other ways in other trips.
Totally unconnected (yeah right! and if you believe that…), some of this money supposedly from “the NRA” actually is funnelled through from Russia. Not all, but it seems a common pipeline by which, shall we say “certain politicians” are
bribedno wait yeah that’s what I meant there. At least it’s a factor that complicates things, but since it’s money it complicates it a lot.In some other country that might even be thought of as something worth doing about, and similarly with the sacrifice of our literal and actual children. But here we cannot, bc you know, we are instead “Pro-Life”.
