Solution to school Shootings

[flan327]

What does it matter? Serious question.

I suggest X. You guys shit on X. Nothing happens. Then the next mass shooting happens.

Rinse and repeat.

You can’t possibly be serious

 

[flan327]

Here is my solution.

Repeal all federal and state gun laws.

Make it a federal death penalty case for advocating any kind of gun control.

Suddenly, all the school shootings go away.

Sick puppy

 

[Briss]

Then the next mass shooting happens.

But we've already determined that your idea of a mass shooting is whatever your trusted authorities say it is, even when it's a simple love triangle murder suicide. Why did you accept a bogus definition when you knew better?

I am.

Ok. What definition do you want to use?

 

[2aguy]

Not if you know how to debate them . . .

I'm thinking you don't.

He knows they don't work....since the are only cover used to push gun grabbing....

 

[Briss]

I can debate them fine. But you guys still wouldn’t agree to them.

Not my first rodeo.

How are you going to convince anyone of anything when you are afraid to bring your ideas out into the light of day?

What do you want to see done?

The Actual definition....from the FBI....

US mass shootings, 1982–2022: Data from Mother Jones’ investigation

Dating back to at least 2005, the FBI and leading criminologists essentially defined a mass shooting as a single attack in a public place in which four or more victims were killed. We adopted that baseline for fatalities when we gathered data in 2012 on three decades worth of cases.
-------

• Here is a description of the criteria we use:
  
  
  • The perpetrator took the lives of at least four people. A 2008 FBI report identifies an individual as a mass murderer—versus a spree killer or a serial killer—if he kills four or more people in a single incident (not including himself), typically in a single location. (*In 2013, the US government’s fatality baseline was revised down to three; our database reflects this change beginning from Jan. 2013, as detailed above.)
  • The killings were carried out by a lone shooter. (Except in the case of the Columbine massacre and the Westside Middle School killings, which involved two shooters.)
  • The shootings occurred in a public place. (Except in the case of a party on private property in Crandon, Wisconsin, and another in Seattle, where crowds of strangers had gathered, essentially constituting a public crowd.)
  • Crimes primarily related to gang activity or armed robbery are not included, nor are mass killings that took place in private homes (often stemming from domestic violence).
• 
  
  • Perpetrators who died or were wounded during the attack are not included in the victim tallies.
  • We included a handful of cases also known as “spree killings“—cases in which the killings occurred in more than one location, but still over a short period of time, that otherwise fit the above criteria.
  ----------------------

Our research focused on indiscriminate rampages in public places resulting in four or more victims killed by the attacker.

We exclude shootings stemming from more conventionally motivated crimes such as armed robbery or gang violence. (Or in which the perpetrators have not been identified.)

Other news outlets and researchers have since published larger tallies that include a wide range of gun crimes in which four or more people have been either wounded or killed. While those larger datasets of multiple-victim shootings are useful for studying the broader problem of gun violence, our investigation provides an in-depth look at a distinct phenomenon—from the firearms used and mental health factors to the growing copycat problem. Tracking mass shootings is complex; we believe ours is the most useful approach for studying this specific phenomenon.

Yeah, he's trying to give the impression that we're the belligerent ones for asking him to air his views.

You think I’m trying to convince you guys of anything?

Fine with me.

 

[Briss]

You think I’m trying to convince you guys of anything?

If not us, then who?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Repeal all gun laws

Make advocating for ANY gun control a federal death penalty crime.

Problem solved.

 

[XponentialChaos]

If not us, then who?

I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything.

I’d have more success explaining trigonometry to a squirrel.

Because you suck?

 

[XponentialChaos]

Because you suck?

See what I mean?

 

[Briss]

I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything.

Good, cuz you haven't!

 

[XponentialChaos]

Good, cuz you haven't!

Don’t care. Not my intention.

He sounds like a Progressive Jihadist. Armed guards should have confronted him

Don't forget that he was a student in the recent past, so he knew all the drills that they ran, he knew where they likely would be hiding, and he knew what the reaction from the school authorities was likely to be. He knew about how much time he would have to carry out his plan before a bullet stopped him. Basically, we're training future school shooters on how to be more effective.

 

[Briss]

Don’t care. Not my intention.

So you're here to tell us that you have no intention of defending your position?

Okay, but you could accomplish the same thing by just not coming into the thread.
