Mass shootings seem to becoming more common outside of the US
Article 5 and 6.
...........?
Am I really? Thanks. I'll take that as a compliment.
Yes, I think automatic weapons and the like should be in the hands of the army not civilians.
Wonder what percentage of our population you'd be "treating"
Most hunters would have a bolt action .308 or something like that and a specialist rifle for competition I would think.
It's the same old story of what is the need for Military Assault Rifles anywhere in civil society?
You'd spend a significant about of time incarcerated if you shot at a Bear or Wolf there.
No one needs semi auto hand canons to hunt, it's a myth perpetuated by the window lickers who just love guns.
Of course you wouldn't use one for rabbits and birds but in the Czech republic you have deer, Bears, wolves , they are also used in target and competition shooting ,
I've nothing against guns, wouldn't mind going hunting some day, but I can see nothing that, that gun can be used for except for shooting people. Your not opening up on a rabbit with that or an bird. I know they have wild pigs and deer over there but you don't need semi Auto for that.
Prague is a great city, been a few times in the last 10,20 years. this will hurt them tourist wise.
The guy looks like your average student, bit of a gobshite, "What is the reason for your purchase of this weapon" should have been first question by the cops or who ever is in charge of Licensing guns there. How could you explain your need for such a weapon?
There is regulations you have to be over 21 to apply for a firearms licence,16 to apply for a licence for a hunting rifle/shotgun,you have to pass a background check,a medical and an mandatory exam to pass before you get a gun
So he was on the police radar, if only thoroughly investigated lives might be saved
I wasn't aware guns laws were laxed over there
RIP the victims
Looks the shooter is suspected in a double murder of a man and his 2 month old baby a few weeks ago in the Klanovice forest park
The police were already looking for him before the shooting started, presumably in relation to the death of his father.
It's been reported that he was scheduled to have a lecture in a particular building of the college and the police were searching for him there but he went into another building at the opposite end of the college, up to the 4th floor, and started shooting people. He must have known he was about to be caught.
I'd hazard a guess the cops killed him, he apparently killed his own father before turning up at the college
Did he kill himself or was he shot?
Looks like a Zev .308 Semiautomatic
Absolutely, by way of coincidence I just saw an interview with a homeless girl in London, she’d been on the streets for a couple of years…. When asked how come she isn’t getting help or fast track housing…
“im not getting it because…I’m not a drug addict, I don’t have psychological issues, I’m not pregnant and I was born here”
problem is these armies of mental health advocates want to normalise it. It’s not normal. The results are…. 💁🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
lock these individuals assholes up until it can be without reasonable doubt ascertained that they pose not a single threat to society.
This is the weapon up close. It has been damaged by falling from the roof of the university so the buttstock is missing and the magazine is smashed but it is an AR10 and the bullets seen laying around it are consistent with 308s
If you look at the US you can get a concealed carry permit to allow you to carry a pistol concealed on your person in the Czech republic you can get a concealed carry permit to cover any type of firearm along as you can conceal it on you that can be anything from a pistol, shotgun to semi automatic rifle,they also have a good hunting culture and shooting ranges all over the country
The system of Czechs and balances?
Not really,it's nothing like the American culture when it comes to firearms,
The Czech appear to have been following the American system of anything goes, that should change now at least.
By the looks of it was just a semi automatic rifle with a scope, pretty much common all over the world with a few exceptions
'serious mental health issues' is far too vague a term legally to imprison people forever.
What mental health issues and how serious?
Considering outside the US these mass shootings are still quite rare
How in the name of fûck does it transpire that a kid can attain or anyone in a civilised society attain a weapon like that ? It’s colossal…
The world would be a lot safer if we confined those with serious mental issues to long-term hospitals for treatment. There is no benefit to society for these people living free lives, only danger.
There was a big increase in ownership after the Russians invaded Ukraine, last year when we were there one CZ shop has a que with about 150 people waiting to purchase guns
An evil person. I wouldnt be in a hurry over there after this. Didnt realise the gun laws were so aligned to the States. Rip to all.
Quite easy in the Czech republic,
They have fairly liberal firearms laws , there's several firearms stores within minutes of the school
Adult population, maybe. Wiki indicates 20 per 100 population.
