Senate Gun Control

Well, he's referring to fake claims that were, in part, straight-up fabricated: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/antifa-rumors-spread-local-social-media-no-evidence-n1222486

So.... it was a fake threat that was actually saying stuff like the following:

So yeah, that'd be fair to call that riff raff if it wasn't just white nationalist propaganda but was real.

Then showing up doesn't prove rural areas having guns worked, the whole thing was made up to begin with.

 

I meant that cameras are overkill IMO(I said that too) as in it is over kill to have them in so many places. Especially when they are pointed at like everything. Im not a fan. Thats all. Has nothing to do with guns. I was talking about too many cameras.

Nope - didnt say that. You did. Either way, there were clearly some troublemakers amongst the protestors, despite some of you finding 100% of them to be angels. They were burning buildings, destroying private property & businesses(some of which were owned by minorities. Smooth move, ExLax ) and looting. Deny it as you wish.

Word got out that they were going to bring that nonsense(the mayhem,not the protesting) to the 'burbs. Once they correctly deduced that such things werent going to go well they backed off. Excellent choice. Nothing to see here.

 

So having a Camera is overkill because they're in too many places but having a gun isn't overkill. I assume this is because guns are rare as hens teeth in the US?

 

You know when I don't feel threatened? When I walk by my neighbors houses with ring doorbells, or even the guy who has a real fancy light that turns on by his fence down the street and I see the camera follow me. Because I'm not doing anything wrong. Just like when I walk in 7-11, the mall or the bank. I'm on camera and I'm not feeling threatened because I have no reason to feel scared, but if I'm anywhere and feel that someone might pull out a gun. Which is unfortunately more often than you may think. Anytime I used to go to a movie theater or any packed crowded place where I didn't have to go through a metal detector first. Yes, I love amusement parks and sports arenas for using those! Sometimes even when someone is just sitting in a car suspiciously. I have to wonder, why are they sitting there? could they have a gun? am I safe? Cameras = no threat Guns = threat.

 

I always view right before metal detectors as being like fish in a barrel.

No it didn't. You're making whole narratives up and, in part, promoting white nationalist propaganda. Word didn't "get out", people made things up that were never going to happen. Guns didn't deter people because there was never a mass movement (organized or otherwise) to take violence to rural or suburban areas.

 

Not like guns deterred that actual semi-organized mob that attacked the Capitol in January on their leader's order. Though it probably didn't occur to them that the police would use full force against them (and they were lucky enough to get away with it).

There probably is such a thing as too many cameras, but sounds more like someone doesn't like accountability (or rather lynchings and police brutality caught on camera).

 

BWHAHAHAHAHAH! SCOTUS just denied Alex Jones appeal in the Sandy Hook lawsuit!

Between this and the news that Q is coming back to the Trek Universe, today has been a good day.

Well this will be interesting

President Joe Biden plans to announce new executive actions on guns on Thursday, a person familiar with the plans said, fulfilling a commitment he made in the aftermath of two deadly shootings last month.

 

I wonder if that will be presented in a way that tries to link them to the two shootings; particularly for any changes that wouldn't have impacted those shootings. The background check on ghost guns, for example, that's being discussed.

Which isn't to say that's not something worth addressing, but it would seem disingenuous if this is presented as a solution in response to shootings it wouldn't have prevented rather than just a general policy.

It does mention the following:

That seems particularly toothless, as if someone fails a federal background check, that quite often is going to be a crime, not just a warning. And there is very little enforcement of that. It seems like he could push for that to actually be enforced for a change, if he wanted.

CTE? Stands for?

 

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. It’s a brain disease that stems from getting hit in the head repeatedly. It’s a pretty big issue among former NFL players.

 

Liked for the info, less for the nature of it.

 

Hey, the NFL is addressing the problem after decades of covering it up. Any day now.

 

They're addressing it by adding a 17th regular season game.

 

I don’t think it’s fair to claim I support white nationalists when I certainly do not. Claiming that there were some "up to no good" protestors is accurate and fair. Doesn’t make me a while nationalist. You don’t get your message across by destroying innocent peoples property. Just makes you riff raff.

On this recent shooting in SC, I’m serious to know where he got the gun, if it was obtained legally and all those other details that seems to elude the media who’s ready to jump on the "ban guns" bandwagon. We shall see. The info will come out. Appears the guy was an ex NFL player.
