Mass Shooting Thread: Waiting on the next one.

[TSCQ]

We have to tone down this type of rhetoric.

Seat getting too hot playa?

How about trying to restrict access to weapons…

Did the assault weapons ban of 1994 bring down mass shootings? Here’s what the data tells us - Ohio Capital Journal

Researchers have calculated that the risk of a person in the U.S. dying in a mass shooting was 70% lower during the period in which the 1994 to 2004 national assault weapons ban was active.

We have to tone down this type of rhetoric.

Sadly, people can view these interactions online and get hyper-polarized.

Say 1 negative thing about Donald trump

Call him a racist

Or a rapist

Or a criminal

Since you aren’t “hyper-polarized”

Once you become confident with safe gun handling and shooting you see that a holstered gun is a safe, inert object that's entirely under your own control, not some wild x-factor that might kill someone at any time. It doesn't take a whole lot of practice to get good enough, it's not a burden to carry, its legal, and if it's not legal in your state or city it will be soon.

It’s one thing to be confident handling a weapon or becoming a decent shooter.

It’s a whole *** different story to be able to call on those skills in the heat of the moment when some deranged animal in body armor is chopping people down with an AR. Most people ain’t built for that.

Here’s a song by Ani DiFranco written shortly after Columbine. It still holds up.




The sun is setting on the century
And we are armed to the teeth
We're all working together now
To make our lives mercifully brief
And school kids keep trying to teach us
What guns are all about
Confused liberty with weaponry
And watch your kids act it out
And every year now like Christmas
Some boy gets the milk fed suburban blues
Reaches for the available arsenal
And saunters off to make the news
And the women in the middle
Are learning what poor women have always known
That the edge is closer than you think
When your men bring the guns home

And look at where the profits are, yeah
That's how you'll find the source
Of the big lie that you and I both know so well
In the time it takes this cultural death wish to run its course
They're gonna to make a pretty penny
And then they're all going to hell

And he said the chickens all come home to roost
Yeah, Malcolm forecasted this flood
Are we really going to sleep through another century
While the rich profit off our blood?
And true, may take some doing
To see this undoing through
But in my humble opinion
Here's what I suggest we do

Open fire on Hollywood
Open fire on MTV
Open fire on NBC and CBS and ABC
Open fire on the NRA
And all the lies they told us along the way
Open fire on each weapons manufacturer
While he's giving head to some Republican senator
And if I hear one more time
About a fool's right to his tools of rage
I'm gonna take all my friends
And I'm going to move to Canada
And we're going to die of old age

I actually think venues having better security like airports is a good start. A lot of schools, sporting venues, and entertainment venues, have metal detectors for this very reason.

Also seems way more practical than banning guns and/or having a background check system in place that will realistically catch someone who snaps abruptly.

Saddest video I've seen in awhile


I don't even know what to say.

 

[IATT]

I

you cant even call Donald trump a racist in spite the over 50 years of evidence of him being a blatant racist

again, I present to you.. again:

Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2020

Trump has repeatedly claimed he’s “the least racist person.” His history suggests otherwise.

She probably got PTSD from seeing it all, way too early to be interviewing her in my opinion.

Immediate hands if I’m a friend/family member of a victim. Literally waiting outside his service on Sunday and giving him the Sonny Corleone special as soon as he walks out.

 

[Air Champa]

Doesn't surprise me. I was around a lot of religious people who felt the same way growing up.

Nowadays a lot them keep themselves in check, or as some would call it "being oppressed" for their Christian values.

 

[finessence]

Son definitely was/is gay….

If you’re that pressed to harm gay people, there’s some underlying guilt within.

Doesn’t the son use pronouns or call his self non binary? Whatever there doing nowadays? He definitely was sweet

The way he keeps repeating “gay” and using the word “gay” over and over again, he’s suppressing something.

 

[finessence]

How does he feel about straight people who molest kids?

 

[finessence]

BTW…. Twitter would’ve suspended one of us for tweeting that. But I guess that pastor won’t be suspended
