chakoo Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I want to make a snide remark over gun ownership but i'm getting tired of having to think of one every few weeks. Simply just fuck the NRA and people who feel nothing should be done because they have a hard on for a fucking gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I am in no way excusing the position of the gun lobby or anyone who aligns with it. It is disgusting. Not sure what else we can say about it. Having said that, at some point we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room:  our culture is fucked.  Beyond vague allusions to mental health funding, what can be done? How do we get off this trajectory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training kids since kindergarten. My son is in 1st grade and they have had at least 3 active shooter drills so far, could be more. I kind of wince every time I'm in his school now because every hallway and stairwell has the RUN, HIDE, FIGHT posters hanging up. When I was his age the worst we had were tornado drills where we would quickly grab a small carpet square, crouch down in the hallway and put the carpet over the top of our heads lol. I can't even pretend that school shootings couldn't happen at his school because back in 2005 there was a murder suicide in their very own parking lot. Some kid lost their parents in the parking lot that day, some sort of domestic altercation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhyteboar Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Imagine if gun purchasers had to run the same gauntlet that abortion seekers do: walk through a crowd of chanting protesters, wade through gruesome posters and images, all to get to a store that is only allowed to operate in certain areas, perhaps being the sole one in an entire state.

SaysWho? Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The second shooting suspect is a female. Â I don't think that's happened for a mass shooter yet in America. I may be wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in America with guns being so freely available Muslims use guns too. Â That's actually probably the new tact that needs to be approached. Instead of telling "law abiding" white people you want to take their guns, wait until next time a Muslim does a shooting here and you can frame gun control as combating Islamic terrorism. After all, gun control in the 80's was really about stopping all those scary Black Panthers with guns right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Quote The 18-year-old immediately charged, pinning the attacker to the wall before Castillo was fatally shot protecting classmates, witnesses said. As he charged, so did two other students. One of them, Brendan Bialy, wrestled the gun from the shooter's hand and the students subdued him.

Â I don't think that's happened for a mass shooter yet in America. I may be wrong, though. Â Quote The attackers were identified by law enforcement officials as 18-year-old Devon Erickson and a 16-year-old who prosecutors identified as Maya McKinney but whose attorney said uses male pronouns and the name Alec. The two allegedly walked into the STEM School Highlands Ranch through an entrance without metal detectors and opened fire in two classrooms.
