@nazgul @augieray I'm not sure how to parse what you're saying; it sounds like: places where people support the police are the places where crime isn't a major issue. Is that what you meant?

@rbreich what kinds of safety protections do most Americans favor that aren't already the law in all/most states?

@thomasfuchs oh no I hope TSA-style security theater isn't the thing that comes out of this.

@Arqtec you can rent an automatic AK-47 to shoot at a range, but it's really hard to buy one. (Probably possible that's why I said "effectively".)

@Arqtec well assault *rifles* are indeed effectively banned in the US. I don't think there's any kind of viable political move to reverse that.

@Arqtec @augieray That's not even close to a good summary of gun control legislation we're seeing. They ban things like muzzle brakes and pistol grips? it's just *weird*.

@trendless @canleaf I don't understand what you're saying. Vaccines are pretty effective against the worst effects of sarscov2, ie death.

@erictopol Do we think nasal vaccines will be effective against transmission, instead of "only" being effective against severe illness?

@ScientistRebellion This reminds me of people saying "so much for global warming" when it's cold.

@nonproductive @GottaLaff price controls don't really help anyone, though. (But her implementation of this probably won't end up doing much at all, so I'm not panicking yet.)

@samiamsam @kcarruthers I googled the leopards eat faces party as directed and found the Reddit. They're just as confused as I am about what nutjobs not liking Vance has to do with leopards eating faces.

Is the idea somehow that Fuentes has influence in the Republican party? Why do y'all react to evidence to the contrary by doubling down as if the thing you're reacting to isn't the opposite of what it really is?

@gentrifiedrose@mastodon.social @kcarruthers Fuentes married an asian woman?

@samiamsam @kcarruthers Wait what? The Republicans just elevated Vance to #2 and your takeaway is that they want to outlaw interracial marriage.
