It's already rising, dumbass.
Imagine that. I guess it's only coincidental that you'd already be the perfect citizen in the ideal world you're selling.

Re: Only in America
...you're on the right track, for while there are hundreds of thousands declared gun-free zones, none are in fact gun-free zones. I eplained why this is so in my previous post, but to nobody's surprise you decided to ignore the explanation.

Do you think I really want Canadian kids to get shot? Huh? So why are you acting like you don't recognize that I'm simply pissed off at some stupid fuck, who should've been banned ages ago, coming in here to defend my country's jackassed gun laws in the wake of yet another mass shooting.
It's about as appropriate as some sick fuck hoping Canadian kids die.

Re: Only in America
20 dead and 26 injured and your first impulse is to try and blame it on an unarmed population and to take those who are angered and frustrated by yet another mass shooting to task for being unreasonable eh? I think you might have reached the end of the road with this one bro - I mean, where can you possibly go from here?

Re: Only in America
It's not funny, and I should take a different approach. I am unbelievably angry. Please consider that some little boy was just shot dead at the garlic festival not a week ago. Those kids in the picture are the Sandy Hook victims, you know, the false flag shooting? We've had something like 200+ mass shootings this year. That can't be right!? Can it? We are living with the thought of getting shot now all the time, even if it is unlikely the frequency and nature of these crimes forces its way into your mind. It's very real to us, well those of us with a brain anyway.pErvinalia wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 5:00 amI just don't find the subject very funny.

It's not a good excuse for taking the approach I have and I apologize. I'm going to try to take a break from the web for awhile. I'm not blaming the web, I just don't want to keep going off on the nets.

Re: Only in America
Of COURSE I do. Holy shit - what did you THINK I meant?
It's easy for you to critique my position, which is really just acknowledging the horror...
Why not offer your solution up for critique, JimC?
Or you could just avoid it because it's a fucking hard problem.

Re: Only in America
How come you didn't try and invalidate Jim's opinion because he chose to be a teacher instead of a cop? Your empty rhetoric is slipping, Cunt.

Re: Only in America
The term "good guy with a gun" has always been used to describe armed private citizens who intervene to save the situation; gun freaks always insist they are the answer to "bad guys with a gun", which, as I said, is utter bullshit - it simply doesn't happen. Eventually, after much death, either the shooter kills himself, is shot by police, or (rarely) is arrested.Cunt wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 6:00 amOf COURSE I do. Holy shit - what did you THINK I meant?

So don't try your disingenuous bullshit, claiming that's not what you meant.
And I don't avoid stuff - that's your bag. There is a clear solution - effective gun control in America; difficult to achieve with conservative lunatics in charge, but there is no alternative, other than to passively accept a continuing tide of death.

Re: Only in America
How many examples would you need to acknowledge that yes, it does happen?
I don't know how many there are, I just know that there are examples. That doesn't matter though, since it's all killing, I put it all in the 'undesireable' category.
Pretty fucking bleak. Should I blame you for it? Or accuse you of enabling it or something?
Eventually, after much death, either the shooter kills himself, is shot by police, or (rarely) is arrested.
Or would it be more productive to ask your suggested solutions?
Speaking of disingenuous bullshit, you could have asked.So don't try your disingenuous bullshit, claiming that's not what you meant.
I mean both groups. On-duty and off-duty law enforcement, citizens, security. The best kind of 'stopping' these kinds of shooters is to not have an incident.
These mass shootings rarely happen at law enforcement conventions, for example.
Effective gun control...that's just a phrase, not a clear solution. Sheesh, talk about avoiding stuff.And I don't avoid stuff - that's your bag. There is a clear solution - effective gun control in America; difficult to achieve with conservative lunatics in charge, but there is no alternative, other than to passively accept a continuing tide of death.
Why not explain how that happens. Oh, and if the implementation causes more loss of life than the status quo, would that affect your decision?

Re: Only in America
You will never have gun control in the USA. The NRA has seen to it that the country is so full of guns it will be impossible to get rid of them. What about the thicko red necks? Wtf are they going to do without their toys?
Man America is so fucking sick when it comes to guns. Just so FUCKING sick.

Cunt, considerable discussion has occurred between moderators about your posting history since you have returned, involving many threads including this one. The kind of malicious trolling you have posted in the knowledge that such posts are likely to cause widespread general offense, will not be tolerated here. Your posting history since your recent return from suspension contains numerous examples of the kind of trolling you have previously been reminded to avoid and warned about. In light of this your posting privileges have been suspended for 6 months. Be aware that if you choose to return to this forum, a similar style of posting will result in a rapid, long suspension.

It is now clear that the Texas shooting was a hate crime by a Trump-supporting white supremacist against Hispanics.At least nine people have been killed and at least 16 are injured after a shooting in Dayton, Ohio on Sunday morning (local time), US police have said.
