Mass Shooting Thread: Waiting on the next one.

[debso]

I say that because black ppl have been targets in this country since we were plucked from the continent of Africa by the same groups that now create and enforce the laws. We constantly are at war with each other because of intentional indoctrination, etc. Etc. Yet we dont commit mass shootings like this anywhere near as often.

These priveledged and entitled ppl have one thing wrong in their lives and they can't adapt.
We gotta damn live in hell and arent "allowed" to truly progress and were expected to just be fine.

Only when white ppl do this is it a mental health thing but if anybody should be mentally unhealthy it should be black ppl after all the ******** we go through, daily.

**** the comfort ****, ppl need to be honest. Only then can we actually begin talking about real solutions. Of course that's not what this country wants so...

What people fail to realize is that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, effectively created killing machines that returned home and can go on a rampage at any moment. You can't expect people to go to war, witness death around them constantly and come home and act like they are mentally fine and can quickly adjust back to civilian life.

why didnt this happen after prior wars like ww2 and vietnam which were MUCH more violent?

 

[debso]

This country was created through violence. Its supresses ppl through violence. It continues to run through violence or the threat of it. Why are we expecting things to be different? There is no change without violence.

We arent changing the culture through talking. Look, when those white kids like one or two years removed from being toddlers were gunned down awhile back that should have been everyone's clue that **** wont change when it comes to these guns and it should have been a clue to everyone that its bigger than a gun.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong but I don't see it.

I said in this very thread that it doesn't matter if you got a rocket launcher in your pocket when that gun is pointed at your head, ready to shoot.

Cats stay delusional, thinking that emptying out the local gun shop will protect them from getting caught by surprise.

Also, more people shooting in a room full of smoke and chaos is only going to add a significant amount of casualties.

 

[getback]

15 people died at Columbine and there was round the clock coverage for weeks if not months. Protests and everything.

As more of these happen, there's less and less coverage. That just tells me we've come to tolerate mass shootings as a relatively normal occurrence.

Just cuz you’re off duty doesnt mean an establishment is going to let you in with a firearm, especially when alcohol is going to be involved.

Idk about other places in the country but I remember various bars out here checking you at the door for weapons

I understand that. I just saw people arguing for gun control on FB/Twitter saying there were 6 LEOs in the establishment and it didn't stop the shooter. Their point is moot if the LEOs were unarmed.

That said, I'm for gun control.

Las Vages Shooter Survivor, Telemachus Orfanos, a 27 year old Navy veteran... SMH His parents are going in on the NRA and the Republican Party. ‘I don’t want prayers. I don’t want thoughts. I want gun control.’

"Gun control" is too broad to have any real meaning in my opinion.

Walking it back... shouldn't have been tweeted from the jump.

Sad to say but it’s becuase it doesn’t draw in the views anymore.

First the mass shooting and now surrounding areas getting hit by fires. Malibu has to evacuate 13,000 residents.

Craigslist no strings attached sales..... are not

Im pretty sure craiglist shut that section down not too long ago.

But if people wanna snap and kill they can..buy a lot of different means. But getting a gun stil isnt as easy legally as some make it out to be.

Im not a gun nut but i do have one and believe in the right to have it.
But crazy snapped people going to snap. Sucks. Sucks bad

"Physics is too broad to have any real meaning"

"Medicine is too broad to have any real meaning"

"Law is too broad to have any meaning"

"Garbage collecting is too broad to have any meaning"

I mean, if we're gonna say silly things, might as well go all the way.

"Life is too broad to have any meaning"

There are areas in this country that are too isolated to live in without any protection.

That doesn't include cities, where 90% of the US population lives.

We can find solutions to this, but the first step is acknowledging the cocktail of problems that results in frequent gun violence. It is a step that most Americans are taking (if we are judging by the various polls regarding gun control, gun culture, and mental health), but the decision makers are lagging far, far behind. They are still too scared of the gun lobby.

 

[tdogg2k]

Come on man you knew what he meant.
Instead of what you responded with why not list some of your gun control theories of how it should be.

What is your solution?

What he meant was "we can't do anything about it," which is nonsensical.

We don't want to do something about it.

There are multiple craigslist like gun sites.

Buying a gun legally in Texas is as easy as buying any thing off of craigslist or offer up or 5miles.

I am a "gun nut" and this scares me.

Backpage shut down too. You think thots aren't out there on mirror sites slinging their yambs?

 

[blastercombo]

You CAN still buy and sell guns on Craigslist. The worst they’ll do is just take the listing down in a couple hours

 

[Mark Antony]

Gun show loopholes is fake news....

Based on what?

 

[jape]

really easy and cheap too

 

[blastercombo]

The gun show is what it is FOR THAT REASON.

in california, a "strict" gun state, you can get a .45 pistol within 10 days as long as your background check is good.

the test to purchase a gun is a joke - 20-40 multiple choice/true or false questions

 

[getback]

Exactly

There's actually one in MA this weekend, and MA is one of the strictest gun control states.

tdogg2k why do you think it's "fake news."
