Senate Gun Control

Obviously, because they will let any riff raff in here.

At no point did I claim to run the show. I'm entitled I think to view someone either intentionally or unintentionally misrepresenting my posts as a minor annoyance and respond. How I respond is obviously controlled by rules and as the person who has the actual authority here (and isn't officiously mini-modding) said the how was inappropriate.

This is easily avoided by not responding to made up bull**** because you're not quite following the conversation but want to. And by not responding like a twit, something we could both learn from?

 

Calling out your bull**** isn't mini-modding.

 

Mate I've basically just said that and moved on. This topic was doing fine until two posters showed up. And I don't meant Hef and J-Rod with their copypasta arguments about how if you didn't have guns then nothing would be there to defend you from blac...I mean, any people of any race gun rights are for all but I'm sorry I don't know who Philandro Castille was but yeah to stop people breaking into your home with the intent to rape you for Satan. I actually would like @Hef and @J-Rod to come back and try to explain why doors and video games are to blame for school shootings and how gun control in other countries has lead to 1 in every 1 student being stabbed by the government.

 

Thanks.

So one thing I saw recently about the Santa Fe shooting is that the fact that the shooter used a shotgun and pistol could harm movements to ban semi-semi-automatic weapons like the AR-15.

... So basically the logic is "haha, see, you can kill a lot of people without a semi-automatic weapon. So semi-automatic weapons aren't a problem"... Wah? If even not-at-all automatic guns can do that much damage, isn't that actually an argument for how monumentally unsafe semi-automatics are?

 

Hey, remember the Las Vegas shooter, about a dozen massacres ago?

Turns out that, after the Las Vegas Police failed to stop the documents on the shooter being sealed, he was a right-wing lunatic after all. Wonder why the police were so concerned with that not getting out?

 

There was a massacre on Saturday?

 

This infuriates me... ****ing ***holes with guns... ugh.

Some jackass shot and killed a bald eagle, here in Colorado.

Stand your air.

 

If the bald eagle had an IMI Desert Eagle this wouldn't have happened. How was it supposed to protect America unarmed?

 

It's possible the shooter(s) can be found. Idiots have a tendency to brag loudly to their idiot friends.

 

Especially idiots who like to kill animals. See: Trump's sons.

 

Yeah. They're so pleased with themselves.

 

Lack of CPR training too, probably. Because CPR will be so useful when you or another victim are bleeding out from gunshots.

And gays. Everything is their fault, somehow or other. Divine punishment and all. Possibly blacks too.

Probably Mexico or China too. If it weren't for their cheap labor, America would be a better nation and not have these mass shootings. I wouldn't be surprised if someone claimed that guns made in the US that were then sold to Mexicans and then smuggled back and used in a crime would somehow be Mexico's fault.

Oh, and bullying too, according to the killer's father. Not like his poor parenting or failure to secure his weapons played a part (knowing Texas, they'd probably prohibit locking up guns in case home invasion requires self defense or something). Since bullying results in school shootings in other countries too, oh wait, no it doesn't, that's an American thing.

Next they'll start blaming little green men from Mars as the reason for these continued mass murders. Just as long as their sacred objects aren't blamed.

 

I mean, mine and basically everyone I know. I've managed visits to two countries outside the US and loved it. I'd love to travel, but I don't see myself going into debt over it.

I should show you my list of places on the planet I'd like to visit, @Ender Sai As an obsessive list maker/intelligent person, I've made a list of over ten-thousand locations I'd like to visit/things I'd like to experience. Granted a fair amount of those are in the United States, but, you know, it is a very large & diverse country. I understand you know millionaires, so maybe you should try extrapolating beyond your lived experience. You honestly think if you offered an all-expenses paid trip to, say, Paris, which you love, that the majority of Americans would turn you down? The overwhelming majority would take you up on it. People are poor here, Ender. I'm not what I would consider poor (I see a lot of absolutely grinding poverty in this area), but I'm sure not middle class.

*boom*

 

Did anyone in the celebrity death pool thread have the eagle?

 

I live in the hood. A slum. Photos of my apartment could probably be used as an effective means of psychological torture, despite my best efforts to spruce it up. It has broken apart to the point that it wouldn't be at all out of place as a settlement in Fallout.

But yeah, maybe if I collect enough cans I can get out there and experience more of the world. Any day now.

 

@Rogue1-and-a-half would that be the experience of once flying Jetstar to Phuket because I was in my 20s and on a decidedly mid range five figure salary in one of the most expensive cities to live in? That experience?

I do like how you ignored the statistical points because they were injurious to your argument. If I may offer advice, maybe this time being less art than science would be useful?

 

I am curious. For those that want a complete removal of the second amendment what do you think are the actual chances of that? Or is it just a Dream you have.
