The 'Mass-Shooting In The US' thread

'We called for help, and they killed my son,' North Carolina man says

"Everything was going good," Mark Wilsey said, according to WWAY. "Then this fat cop from Southport walks in the room, walks around the corner, says, 'We don't have time for this. Tase that kid now. Let's get him out of here.' "

The stepfather said Vidal tried to run but was struck with two Taser charges and fell backward. He said the first two officers to respond got on top of Vidal.

WECT attributed a slightly different accounting of events to Mark Wilsey. In that retelling, the stepfather said officers had pinned Vidal to the ground after he had been tased and one of the officers said, "We don't have time for this" and shot his stepson.

Unless they arm their delivery drones.

this mall employee on cnn just said "you know a lot of cops in maryland have itchy trigger fingers"  lol

[Diomedes]

We have thieves who follow the mailman and delivery trucks, stealing packages off porches.  A drone that sticks with the package, gunning down anyone who comes too close, would be great.   Still better: A fleet of clean-up drones that sweep in to remove the bloody mess from my stoop would be appreciated too.

Ah, city living.

MOM is going to pounce on this.....i suggest if you are a gunowner and live in maryland that you immediately move

[Chameleon]

Breaking news. Guns kill people. People are completely innocent and have nothing to do with the problem. The problem lies with the guns. Let's make it so only the cops have guns. Then we can start blaming the problem on bombs.

Ban all shotguns!

And you're right IGY, MOM is gonna go hard on this.  He already got the sb281 thru, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried an outright ban. 

Wonder what the deal was, i know the columbia mall has been going downhill for years.  Curious to see if its whitey gone crazy, or a planned altercation. 

[Diomedes]

Yeah, we should legalize automatic machine guns, RPGs, landmines, etc.   It's people who kill, not the weapons they use.

In "government" we trust.

[Diomedes]

I trust the government way, way more than I do gun toting citizens, yes. 

[Munson]

Yeah I don't know why I'm supposed to trust random Americans with guns....have you seen random Americans?

That said, I don't think an outright ban would work. And I think state laws are useless when you can just drive 15 minutes away over to the next state and get a gun

You obviously aren't teaching geography.
