Routine Shootings at US Schools and Universities Megathread.

[Josquius]

I don't get many phone calls. I always try to answer them though whether I notice or not is a big question.
Even if it's a scammer better they talk to me than someone who will believe them.
Most scams I get are text messages. Super common to get them claiming to have a package I need to pay a few pound to recieve.
Wonder why it is you get so many

[Sheilbh]

Yeah.

I answer my phone but I'd say 3/4 are scms, the other 1/4 are recruiters (scams in suits).

[HVC]

If i don't recognize a number I don't answer. Like valmy said telemarketers ruined telephones.

Don't know if it's an android thing ( dont recall it on iphone) but you can report a number as fraud when you block it so that when they call someone else the tag "likely fraud" shows up on their phone.

[PDH]

I answer my phone because I worry that the call center immoral scam guy in India will feel rejected if I don't.

I care.

[Grey Fox]

I try to answer my phone but I genuinely miss 9 out of 10 calls.

[Habbaku]

I wonder what I'm doing right. I basically don't get scam/spam phone calls. Maybe once a month now.

[Duque de Bragança]

I missed all my calls on my landline until recently since I had put my phone on silent mode, due to spam and scammers calls, precisely.

[Josquius]

The NRA really are evil.

[viper37]

The NRA really are evil.

And we now know that a bunch of good guys with guns won't stop a car plowing in pedestrians.

[Jacob]

The NRA really are evil.

I hope that folks who feel the need to conduct mass shootings start picking NRA conventions as their target instead of schools.

[Grey Fox]

Imo, Fox News and CPAC are a lot more responsible than the NRA.

[Admiral Yi]

I put Republican voters at the top of the list.

[HVC]

Can I blame lobby money and politicians? If so, I blame lobby money and politicians.

[grumbler]

I put Republican voters at the top of the list.

Yep.  The politicians aren't joining the Death Cult because of the money, it is because of the votes.  A third of the GOP absolutely believes that there is an international conspiracy to steal children for sex, and another third believes that there is a "Them" that is trying to replace all whites in the US with colored foreigners.  Each of those groups believes that they will be called upon to be the armed heroes who save America.  The remaining third are absolutely adamant that they won't be disarmed now, right before End Times.
