High School Shooting In Florida

[WoundedKnee]

Why are we talking about this instead of the FBI?

 

[richard_daily]

Maybe to make America great again.

America is in decline, we gave away our manufacturing base a generation ago for pennies on the dollar to help the Walton's get rich.

You want to face america's decline and that fallout unarmed? Less power to you.

There seems to be a tendency to stay off topic.

 

[richard_daily]

I'm wonder about the necessity of having, say, six or more bullets....are you that poor a shot? Do you really require more than six opportunities to hit a target? The purpose of an auto-loading semiautomatic rifle is to acquire as many targets in the shortest possible amount of time. I cannot think of a civilian situation that would require more than six shots fired in the shortest amount of time, save to commit mass murder.

As an anti-gun zealot, it makes sense that this is your position.

Standard capacity magazines in a carbine-length platform are the ideal home-defense round and weapon.

It appears that you don't believe that people have a right to defend themselves.

It's a discussion board, people discuss things. Don't like the topic go start one about fake Marines or something so you can talk about something you know.

Overhaul the FBI - Top to Bottom

The only signal this shooter didn't send was to wear a T-shirt proclaiming the date, time and location of his intended murderous rampage.

To see a wooden spokes-caricature from the FBI say that even though they got the tip WEEKS before the shooting, it was assessed that it did not reach their guidelines as a 'chargeable offense'.

How about a 'watchable offense' assholes? How about an indication that this info was worthy of even a phone call, let alone alerting the local police, or an actual visit?

The FBI is the laughing stock of the world, and not just because of this.

Folks without firearms have a hard time shooting lots of people. Is that hard to grok?

Unauthorized folks carrying firearms on or near schools should be hanged. Too easy?

Keep all the firearms you want -- in private. In public, join a well-regulated militia.

How about that's not the law and I'll cary guns all over because M'uricuh!!!

And there is nothing you or your USA hating leftist friends can do about it.

I don't believe anti-gun or strict gun control folks hate America. If the laws were to be changed and the 2nd repealed or amended then that's because most wanted it and that's what America is.
It's the ignorance that bothers me. Don't talk about guns if you don't know anything about guns. Don't blame the actions of one on the 99.99% who have never bothered a soul.

Considering the individual right and freedom of gun ownership is one of the most iconic core values of the USA.....I do.

Just like all the lefties who hate freedom of speech....they can fuck off too.

If the laws were to be changed and the 2nd repealed or amended then that's because most wanted it and that's what America is.

Here is the thing about 2A.

It's the only amendment that is self protecting from that very action.

Ignore that legal protection because democracy > individual freedom.......un-American as fuck, another major blow to Constitutional rights.

It's the ignorance that bothers me. Don't talk about guns if you don't know anything about guns. Don't blame the actions of one on the 99.99% who have never bothered a soul.

Oh man that shit is prolific.

And again, blaming the actions of one on the 99.99%...that's super un-American.

This is supposed to be the land of individual rights and freedom.

Not the land of fuck individual rights and freedoms for the collective.

All though it's become more and more the latter, thus the decline of the USA.

Ahh well, the communist won the hearts and minds of the US youth so we loose. Hopefully someday someone will again try a country that isn't an oppressive mafia run commune.

My problem with gun control, which has already been mentioned, is that it only affects the law abiding citizens who aren't going to shoot anyone anyway unless it's to defend themselves. If you walk into an establishment with the intent to kill people then you don't really give a shit whether there are laws against what you're doing or what you're doing it with.

People who want guns will continue to find ways to get them and people who don't care about the law will continue to sell them.

Trump is the laughing stock of the world, he's a clown. The FBI is more like his clown shoes.

How can other countries deal with those facts, and the US can't?

I wish I knew. Poor parenting? Poor education? Just a cultural thing? Overexposure to violence?

What did all the shooters have in common?

Answer to first question: A hard time shooting people without guns? Maybe, zip guns aren't that difficult to construct. If you meant to say "killing"; that's not so difficult. Delivery trucks and airplanes seem to work just fine for mass murder. As does ANFO. Maybe you should start a thread banning those things.

As to the rest:

Your Liberty hating idealogs have decided that hanging violates the 8th Amendment. Sorry, no fun for you. You'll have to find your jollies someplace else other than the public gallows.

Your proposed solution doesn't target crime and instead targets lawful activities. What's next, the death penalty for everyone who buys a Big Gulp and a candy bar at the same time? 'Cuz, sugar is evil and 'mericans is fat.

You think that guns are the problem instead of the mentally deranged who scream desperately for help as you walk by on your way to chastise someone doing nothing wrong.

Law enforcement doesn't have the time or manpower to police millions of people in "school zones". Unless you want a police State - welcome to Russia.

And the kicker: EVERYONE between the ages of 15 and 45 ARE members of the militia.

Because we have more people than they that dont care about the law and we have a 350-500 million gun head-start along with generous "safety net" that allows criminals to allocate money for guns that would otherwise be spent on housing and food. We also have a strong illicit drug trade that both needs protection with guns and provides the money for even more guns.

For that matter, illicit trade in guns themselves provides a certain amount of financing for guns the criminals use.

Hahaha, spare me from morons with severe TDS...

Guns are a problem so we need more guns! - queefbait

Hurr Durr! Public assistance leads to gun ownership! Hurr Durr!

Good thing the orange shitgibbon is working to remove the public safety net! That'll lead to less guns in the hands of #ThosePeople, and the school shooting problem is solved! Brilliant!

 

[silver gurl]

Where do you people live, that you need several guns to defend yourself?

I have never lived in such a place, so I am curious.

They don't need them to defend themselves; they need them to compensate for their lack of anything else long and hard that still works.

Yeah, I've never felt the need to be tooled up when nipping down to Sainsbury's for a pint of milk. And I live in officially the most violent part of the UK.

Remember stating how glad you were to see an armed security guard at the Goodwill in the black part of town?

You remember? The security guard you ran and hid behind after shoving the black chick to the ground?

As predictable as the tides that you will refer to me in third person and send in the attack also when you can't defend your position.
