Another mass shooting, you think.....

[Marion Morrison]

And the murder rate in those countries did not drop after all their gun laws were passed

What on earth has that to do with anything but deflection?
Their firearm homicide rates are a fraction of that of the US. But really, who cares? Another mass shooting in the US, big deal, I wonder what's for dinner.

Yet UK knife, rape, and robbery incidents are higher per capita. Go figure.

 

[Skull Pilot]

If it is true as you say that the goal of you gun control freaks is to end mass shootings then it is true that you think the 1% of all murders that occur in mass shooting events are somehow more important than the 99% of murder victims who get killed elsewhere.

What happened to lower firearm homicide rates? Some straw get in your eye?

It won't.

What does it matter if a person gets killed by a knife, or a beating ?

The murder rates of any of those countries that enacted those gun bans you salivate over did not see reduction in their murder rates

WHy is it that a murder committed with a gun is somehow worse than a murder committed by any other weapon?

 

[Skull Pilot]

But after all, who cares. Another mass shooting in the US? Meh, the price of freedom is counted in dead toddlers. No worries. I wonder what's for dinner.

Emotional reactionary and irrelevant.

 

[Bonzi]

People view guns as a "problem" because you can kill more folks more easily, AND, it's more of a "removed" way of killing.

Bombs can be complicated
Knives are up close and personal

Either way, if you have the capacity and inclination to kill, and, if it's becoming more mainstream, the problem is a LOT bigger than the availability of guns....

What about cars? That truck overseas killed more people in one swipe than died in either shooting recently.

Are cars the problem? If so, do we ban them? Do we regulate them? Do we restrict the size of their gas tanks so they can't run over too many people before running out of gas? Do we regulate how much power they have so when they plow into people they stop quickly?

Whutdayado?

What about cars?

Most people here are posting about US problems, that is not a problem here in the US, unless you are just talking regular car accident fatalities, but, they are normally not "intentional".

A truck with explosives driven into a crowded building or venue would be more efficient, but, people don't do it. Probably because it won't satiate their rage as much as using a gun.

Not yet.

It's just a matter of time before some wack job in a big ass truck with a snow plow takes out a few dozen people

It's not? Are you aware that someone plowed into a crowd of people in new york and killed a half dozen or so like last week or something with a rented fucking Home Depot truck?

 

[Rustic]

MODS DO SOMETHING.

apparently its still too soon to talk of policies LOL

Its a nonissue... This country has bigger fish to fry

 

[airplanemechanic]

I bet the families of those 5 or 6 people would disagree with you.

 

[Esmeralda]

When you hear the news, what is your initial reaction?

Same as always. The lefty twits will start beating the gun control drums even though existing gun control laws have proven time and again to be useless when it comes to criminals and crazies.

Nope...this Leftie isn't thinking gun control. This Leftie is thinking "oh well".....this is MURICA!

Murica is a provence is Spain. It's pronounced moo-thee-ah with the accent on the first syllable.

True, just not as prevalent as mass shootings.. yet...

Take your pick from this list... And yes this country has much bigger fish to fry…

Reading the rants of the gun bunnies and the NRA rats, there is only one conclusion; we are a very sick nation emotionally compared to others in industrialized "West."

Youngest victim, Noah Holcombe.
The guy's politics don't matter, his religion (or lack thereof) doesn't matter. Even the gun debate doesn't matter (for all the good it's ever done).
Noah matters.

Would Noah matter if he would of shown up at Planned Parenthood? You know, CHOICE?

Oh, boy. I can't think of anything that would improve this thread like throwing abortion into the mix. Great choice.

Just saying how much of hypocrite's are when they point out a death of a baby by a gun, yet 33,000 babies a month, are killed by the abortion doctors knife.

Yeah, I know what you're saying. Save it, along with all the other bull**** in this thread. I nearly screamed when I saw the pics of the 8 people from one family that were killed; Jesus, that hurt. Three -- or was it four -- of Noah's cousins were killed as well. I hope it was very quick for him, for all of them.

You do know that in Chicago, the killings are in the hundreds? Where is the outcry?

2017 Chicago Murders - Timeline

CHICAGO MURDERS
2017 DEATH TOLL : 569

Why no outcry, is that the liberals don't give a shit about people, unless it gives them a crisis that they can use.....

In Texas, the murders are in the thousands

Whutdayado?

It is still rather isolated

Two thirds of our murders are attributed to guns

When two thirds of our murders are due to cars....we need to look at doing something about cars

The gun/criminal lobby should adopt this for their motto: Body Counts Don`t Matter.

Where is the "oh no. . . Here we go again" option?

So you're admitting a gun is nothing more than a tool of choice for a criminal.
