America's Darkest Days II: Blackest Night

[charlesr]

I can't even think of anything that hasn't been typed already countless times. America is retarded.

I can feel brain cells dying just watching this.

248 people have been shot dead in USA this year... by accident. Ok I know car crashes have killed more but if those guns didn't exist then those people would be alive and everyone would still have got to work etc.

[MartyG]

The argument that car crashes kill more people is whataboutism at its finest - if your defence for keeping your AR15 is other things kill people too, it's not a very good defence.

I've yet to hear a solid argument for civilians owning automatic or semi-automatic rifles, let alone an arsenal of them.

I can only think that this arming teachers thing is a ploy by Trump to avoid doing anything, so he can turn around and say, well I tried, but crooked Hillary stopped me.

I've yet to hear a solid argument for civilians owning automatic or semi-automatic rifles, let alone an arsenal of them.

Parent of murdered child: "Can you provide an argument for owning an automatic rifle?"
Gun owner: "The second amendment."
Parent: "Yes, but you..."
*KER-CHAK-CHAK*
Gun owner: "The SECOND amendment."

[MartyG]

That's a poor justification, not a solid argument. Now I didn't personally know the forefathers of the US constitution, but I'm pretty sure that it wasn't meant to include the right to shoot up a school with an AR15.

I'm getting serious déjà vu today from an interesting chat we had FIVE years ago.

Fantastic idea for increased safety: bring guns INTO the schools

But I keep thinking of toddlers, because maybe that's what we're dealing with when considering society as a whole. If a toddler kept stabbing people with a fork, you'd have to look at maybe implementing the naughty step, or reducing their sugar or finding what factors are contributing to their behavior and you could probably improve things.

But the very first step? That's simple - you prevent them getting to the forks.

Laugh is, there isn't one part of me that doesn't believe that if Trump was in that guards place he wouldn't have utterly s*** himself.

Coming to schools Summer 2020

It's okay, Florida has found a solution to the school shootings - they're going to put their trust in God: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.6bd1c006030d

[Brad]

Utter madness.

[Neon Ignition]

There's a depressing thread on Era where people are listing constitutional changes they'd make and ones relating to gun ownership come up far, far too infrequently. Either they have very varied sides to their user base or their full of s*** on there.

It's all like Trump himself. An utter disgrace but sadly one the world is stuck with. That and the Electoral College who are a source of national shame for green lighting this moron.

[Cassius_Smoke]

I'm both saddened and glad it's not my country.

It worked well for Jesus when roman soldiers nailed him up on a cross like a hog roast. Oh wait.
