The 'Mass-Shooting In The US' thread

[SunMo]

you can't control people...you can control the methods they use to hurt other people. 

red herring, lol

[Tomahawk]

Does it seem that way?

The point can be further extended. If guns are too hard to use, they'll just put a bomb in the school or set it on fire.

People are the problem, and while guns by design are meant for harm, they are largely a red herring in how to keep America safer.

Excellent point....make it so farging difficult to fire a gun, people have to take an extensive and expensive training class in order to shoot shtein. Also mandate all new guns manufactured must have fingerprint reading technology in order to fire.

Look, you just chime in with a brief and semi-witty anti-gun talking point and clearly don't care to broaden yourself, so I'm not going to engage any further.

In the long term, you'll be more successful in life being less of a prick.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[ice grillin you]

you are talking to an avowed govt hater....black helicopters and shtein....there is no reasoning with people like that

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Wrong. I am not an anarchist. I believe a strong and efficient Federal government is vital to a civilized America. But the government that employs you has become something else.

[ice grillin you]

no you dont...thats your speak because its makes you seem reasonable and "centrist" so then when you drop your right wing idiocy you can point to that as a reason you arent a loon

smart but also transparant and a classic right wing technique

if it was up to you youd choke the life out of government especially most if not all taxes

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You're absolutely wrong, as you often are.

[ice grillin you]

not this time....ive had my eye on you (and many other zealots for a loooooong time)

you are par for the course...almost a protoype

[Rome]

We should really try to be nicer to each other.

[Tomahawk]

lol it's raining gumdrops and lollipops

[ice grillin you]

We should really try to be nicer to each other.

mlk tried that and they killed him

[MDS]

with a gun? but ff's nra buddies told me mlk was pro-gun

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

We're really hippoing it up today, aren't we?

[Munson]

Be dismissive all you like. The laws I would propose would be much more restrictive and reduce the number of guns in circulation infinitely better than the ones proposed.

You guys aren't really nice people. Maybe work on that.

Yes, they would, but the NRA/right wing would flip a shtein at the types of ideas you and others have proposed here. They'd see it as an even bigger infringement on the 2nd amendment than what's being proposed. That's why it doesn't get done.

Reducing clip sizes is not smart, as magazines are not complicated and can be relatively easily "home made." So, again it is an issue of telling would-be "good guys" returning fire to be under-manned while someone with bad intentions could easily arm up.

Also, like the other proposals, it's relatively arbitrary and just means school shooters will bring more loaded mags with them. It takes a skilled person about 1 second to drop out an empty and pop in a new one. But I'm sure the hero unarmed Principal would totally tackle the assailant in that time frame.

Pretty sure the Virginia Tech shooter was taken down because he had to stop to reload.
