Lay off the old man. What's so wrong with dodging the draft? Isn't it like these security officers that didn't charge into the building when the shooting took place? They all want to live, and they don't want to get shot. [But somehow I was told "Good guys with GUNS" will stop all these tragedy. I wonder how. Or - maybe. JUST maybe. These officers were not good people, right?]
It's not JUST about dodging the draft, it's moreso about saying "I would have run into school during shooting even without a gun" ... hes a walking contradiction. He dodged the draft cause he had a "foot injury" ... Trump should've kept his mouth shut and kept that to himself.
The problem is the last thing anyone wants to hear from an economist is that the evidence is inconclusive.
Maybe we can look at why other developed countries have far lower levels of gun violence(even when adjusted for population) and see what they have in common. I bet strict gun laws is one of the biggest ones.

Trump stubbed his toe in college and used that as an excuse to get out of Vietnam. Didn't stop him from bowling and golfing tho. Now I'm supposed to believe the super hero President would run into the school unarmed and confront an AR-15 wielding maniac. Okay. Also notice how Republicans don't want the investigation looking into the Trump family's business dealings in Russia. Why is that? Because they are afraid the investigators may unravel some real shady stuff. No conflict of interest there either of course.
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters." This quote is sad.
The dunces have elected a mobster: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/02/diogenes-on-the-potomac/554240/ "Then there’s Manafort, who Trump decided to place atop his campaign in spring 2016, and who led it through the crucial period of the Republican National Convention. Manafort steadfastly denies any wrongdoing, but a pair of documents from Mueller unsealed last week reveal a brutal array of documentary evidence against him, including technological troubles in producing a doctored profit-and-loss statement and what appears to be a note to his son-in-law instructing him to mislead a bank appraiser.... The White House has distanced itself from Manafort and Gates by pointing out that the crimes with which they are charged occurred outside the auspices of the campaign. This might be convincing if Mueller’s indictments merely sketched out tax fraud—a not-altogether-uncommon private crime. But Mueller alleges that fraud was a core instrument of Davis Manafort, the men’s company. In a new indictment released Friday, Mueller alleges that Manafort worked to create a ring of European leaders who would boost Ukraine’s reputation around the world, while making sure their compensation was invisible. ...Somehow, none of this—nor Barack Obama’s explicit warning to Trump about Flynn—was enough of a red flag to prevent Flynn’s hiring. He didn’t last long. Flynn was pushed out on February 13, 2017, after The Washington Post revealed he had lied to Vice President Pence about conversations with the Russian ambassador about sanctions. Flynn has since admitted, in a guilty plea, that he also lied to FBI agents about those conversations. He is now cooperating with Mueller.... ...George Papadopoulos has also admitted he lied to the FBI about conversations with Russians, and is cooperating with Mueller. ...Carter Page ...offered confusing and contradictory information in testimony to Congress, and...intelligence gathered by the Justice Department also contradicts Page’s testimony.... ...Rob Porter, former staff secretary, was forced out after accusations of domestic abuse by both of his ex-wives became public.... ...Chief of Staff John Kelly offered a story that other West Wing aides believed was so false they expressed concern to reporters about it...In October, [Kelly] told a pejorative story about Representative Frederica Wilson that turned out not to be true; when video evidence contradicted Kelly, however, he and the White House refused to concede the point. Then on Porter, Kelly said he had acted as soon as he learned of the allegations against him, a claim contradicted by FBI Director Christopher Wray during sworn testimony.... ...Why do so many White House staffers lie? It might come from their boss. As Brian Stelter noted, the president shamelessly changed the meaning of a comment he’d heard on television about the House Intelligence Committee memo, refashioning it into a bludgeon against ranking Democrat Adam Schiff: Holy moly. The @FoxNews anchor said "Congressman Schiff, he ARGUES the REPUBLICAN memo omitted and distorted key facts." Trump just deleted 5 words from the quote to allege the opposite meaning. https://t.co/UlSQUcc0bD.... ...Trump selected as commerce secretary Wilbur Ross, who retained investments in companies with links to the Kremlin until they were revealed in the document dump known as the Paradise Papers. He appointed another Wall Street billionaire, Carl Icahn, as a senior adviser on regulatory issues, until Icahn precipitously quit after questions from The New Yorker about whether he was using the job to further his own interests....The secretary of Health and Human Services resigned over spending more than $1 million on private and military jets. A government report said Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin had committed “serious derelictions” in spending on a European trip. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is also under fire for travel spending; the EPA initially said Pruitt had been granted a “blanket waiver” to travel in first class, for safety reasons, only to change its story when pointed to rules that specifically bar such a blanket policy....At the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, interim chief Mick Mulvaney dropped an investigation into a payday lender who had contributed to his campaign. Mulvaney’s spokesman initially said that career staff had recommended dropping the probe, then admitted when pressed by NPR that Mulvaney was involved in the decision." Ron
5 F'n deferments and years later, Trump finds his inner warrior. This idiot is the real life "Walter Mitty". F'n phony MF'er from day one. We should be so lucky to have this assclown actually put his fat out of shape ass in harm's way. He's a really big target. Just follow his hair piece. #FakeAssPOTUS
Fuck that.. I registered for Vietnam and had friends come back that never were the same again. I wonder if Trump will ever reach rock bottom as he keeps redefining "shithole". I knew real soldiers that were in the shit in Vietnam. These brave men were cutting throats, not taking prisoners and doing whatever the fuck they had to do to survive. These men were Marine Recon in case anyone was wondering. In Vietnam, it didn't get harder than that.. Fuck Walter Mitty aka: Donald Trump and that fake ass parade he wants.
Or as Mike Tyson put it so eloquently: " Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth..."
Well. He's the good guy so he can get it done even without the gun. I hear you, old man. And know that I am on your boat. That said: 45 is the man America elected. Maybe 45 is indeed a despicable human trash that he is, but what about the people that elected him, and STILL support his idiocy? I really pray these are a dying breed but I don't think that's happening.
Got to adjust for more than just population. I'll bet I can find some factor those countries have in common with each other aside from gun control, just enough to get that p-value over 5%.
If mueller finds a smoking gun you can guarantee it will be the only gun trump will try to get banned
Here's my dreamy solution about school shootings. Put a local cop at every entrance but with a difference: a trained dog that will rip your motherfukking throat out if the dog smells that you're toting a gun. Better yet, let trained dogs roam the halls and sic them on every moron that tries to bring a weapon into a school. It's not a bad idea in theory, but then again, every hump in the world would sue if the dog even attempts to sniff them in the crotch.
