I predict we won’t hear the end of this soon in this environment of fearmongering about wokeism just as I predict it won’t advance the gun debate an iota.
Aged 28, she was a former student. It was a private church school. The motive is unclear. Median age of a school shooter is 16
State officials already extended (and defended) the traditional issuance of Thoughts and Prayers TM.
In general they would but in America where the horse has bolted long ago , it would like the government here banning cars tomorrow
is the USA the only place with would be killers?
in the las vegas shooting, say he had a car, he would have had to drive the car, into a venue with security and kill 60 people and injure around 400
LOGIC ERRROR
For evidence that mass-murders will attempt another method, one can look at countries which have had mass-murderers but no easily available firearms. We have seen such attacks using improvised bombs, trucks, knives, sarin gas. There have been mass-stabbings with over 30 fatalities.
Thankfully most countries produce fewer mass-murderers than USA - but when these people exist they find a way. This is irrefutable.
Where is your evidence that removing guns from a violent society causes would-be mass-murderers to quit at the first hurdle and become productive members of society?
You have to laugh at the police pussyfooting around terminology to describe the scumbag killer so as not to offend anyone, joke of a country they have become.
35 homicides in the uk in 2021
let that sink in for a second
with all dem terrorists floating about
35
over 40,000 guns deaths in the US in 2020, around 50% were homicides, so 20,000
try to take those numbers in
divide 20000 / 2 = 10000
10000/ 2 = 5000
5000 /2 = 2500
2500/2 = 1250
1250/2 = 625
625 /2 = 312
312/2 = 156
156/2 = 78
78/2 = 39
just to help make it easier to digest
yes that's the real tragedy in all this
AUSTRALIA
do some research would ya
any of the countries that response after just 1 mass killing, just one
rather than do nothing
Sarin gas?
Can that be bought in Walmart?
Who suggested that?
he has never tried to rent a truck or steal one
The occurrence of mass murders in other countries are orders of magnitude lower where is effective gun control. Rare incidents elsewhere in no way correlate with everyday occurrences in the US
No, sarin gas cannot be bought in Walmart. It takes considerable effort to manufacture - proving that determined mass-killers without easy access to firearms will not simply give up. Your "not everyone can drive a truck" argument looks pretty stupid when we see the lengths to which some mass killers are willing to go when denied access to firearms.
What makes you think this shooter would be able to manufacture Sarin Gas?
when was the last time someone used sarin gas? how many gave up in the meantime
Tokyo? 10 people involved, a cult ,14 people killed, many injured
1 lone gunman, vegas, 60 people killed, 500 injured
a guy in japan even made his own gun
1 gun homocide in japan in 2021, but say 9 in japan would be more comparable
9, where are all the mass killers gone
Quiet hard and it not just ban guns and this will stop. Switzerland have more guns per population (this is incorrect they are 19th thanks to all for correction) then the USA. Canada have a big gun culture also. Not so common there so these snappy one liners and not that brainey
RIP to the victims
If only there was some way that the 2nd amendment of the US constitution could be, oh I dunno, "amended" or something.
jaysus, Switzerland does not have more guns per population than the USA, where did you pull that from
most of those guns are owned on a 1 gun one person basis and given out as part of military service
So if they can't access guns they will use Sarin Gas?
Are you on a windup?
The whole gun-nut "defence" of killers will use anything to kill is so comically outdated and weak.
If it wasn't for guns Columbine would have been a non event as the multiple bombs Harris and Klebold made, that were supposed to be the main event of there attack, were duds that didn't work.
Guns can be used by any dumb fùck, the alternatives generally can't.
...
This is not correct.
Nor would the dearth of media coverage surrounding it, that has not been afforded to the effectively countless other mass shootings that occur every **** week in the US.
I have no clue why boardsies express shock or frustration at the subject, it’s a reflection of what’s already blasted around about the event. The media doesn’t care about the shootings that happened last week. Reddit etc didn’t care. But the media world turned for this statistical anomaly.
We could be discussing a new mass shooting thread 4 or 5 times a week in CA but we don’t, the threads are often met with much different responses, usually to bemoan the mention of American problems at all. Go figure, boardsies incl yourself are all in to talk about this one 🤔 I guess I was right.
You'll never get the US gun nuts to give up their guns, never. There'd be all out civil war before such an amendment could go through.
In other countries, yes. But the constitution over there is almost sacrosanct. It’s very hard to get anything amended. Plus any attempt to amend or repeal the 2nd could result in civil war I’d say.
If determined mass murderers do not have easy access to firearms they will resort to an alternative.
I don't care to list all the possible alternatives, some have been mentioned already. I can think of hundreds and a person of average imagination can surely do same. Sarin gas would be a highly rare and unlikely choice. Of course I am not suggest that many mass-killers would resort to this. You know this, you are showing extreme dishonesty to suggest it.
The mere fact that Sarin has been used at all to commit mass-murder is proof that determined mass-murderers will not quit simply because a convenient store-bought method (firearms) is not available. A sufficiently determined and disturbed person will go to extreme lengths. Only a person who themselves is very dim and lacking in imagination would fail to understand this.
I know you're being facetious but amending that constitution is practically impossible these days. Even proposing an amendment would require either 2/3 of both Houses of congress or 2/3 of the states. If by some miracle that happened then 3/4 of the states would need to agree to pass it.
In the past 52 years there has only been a single amendment and that was one that had been proposed in the 18th century and subsequently forgotten about until the 1980s.
Of course, we should ban the schools
They can try to use alternatives (like Harris and Klebold), but their own stupidity would likely render them ineffective.
Only a person who themselves is very dim and lacking in imagination would fail to understand this.
You brought Sarin Gas up.
Own it. It's a ridiculous comparison to make.
Calling other people names doesn't change that fact.
The person who perpetrated this crime was obviously insane, what they identified as is a moot point, that is just simply another aspect of who they were. T
Interesting article here, tighter gun control & laws reduce mass shooting, to a normal person that probably seems obvious:
https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-gun-policy-global-comparisons
Its only proof if you believe that people will buy sarin in advance just in case they decide to go on a killing spree. These guns are already in circulation, thats a major part of the problem. Any incident can escalate into a shooting, I hope you dont believe that any incident is going to escalate into a sarin gas poisoning?
