BREAKING: Mass school shooting multiple victims

[Rustic]

There is no freedom in those places just perceived freedom...

 

[Rustic]

With every "law" passed chipping away at our freedoms... And our pocket books.

 

[JoeB131]

Outside of the mental health info. in Background checks...and even that has major problems.....none of the other measures you harp on would have stopped this mass shooting or any of the others. They would not stop the criminals from committing crime with guns.

Except that if Mercer had to go in for a license where they did a background check on him before granting him a license, they would have found out about his mental health problems, or that the Army discharged him after a few weeks.

You see, the thing is, the media never has a problem finding out these guys were crazy AFTER they do a shooting, but we never seem to be able to figure that out while they are accumulating enough guns to fight the Zombie Apocalypse.

 

[JoeB131]

A much LARGER problem than mass shootings in this country is gang warfare which brings our national homicide rate up to a ridiculous level.

I agree, that's a real problem, but your sort only cares about it when some white guy shoots up some nice white kids and people start asking, "How was this person able to get a gun?"

It would be wonderful if we started asking that question when there's a gang shooting.

It would be even better if we did something to clean up all the guns on the street.

 

[Rustic]

As with all things federal government wise... Control freaks.

Too bad we have no tenth admendment anymore...

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Gun fetishists? Lol. Just because people recognize how important our rights are and that they need to be defended because the government does NOT have the power to grant or take away rights as they see fit. Our rights are not dependent on "feelings."

One more time.

There are no rights.

There are privileges you have based on what the rest of society thinks is reasonable.

Any fool who thinks he has 'rights' needs to look up "Japanese Americans, 1942".

At one time, people thought that you had a "right" to own slaves. Until people thought that was unacceptable.

There is no good reason for civilians to own guns. None at all. We don't need to hunt for sustinence, you will never overthrow the government with your handguns and a gun is more likely to kill a member of your family than a bad guy.

Now, if you want to keep having the PRIVILEGE of owning a gun, then you gun nuts need to clean up your collective act. People like Mercer, Holmes, Roof, have no business having guns.

If you can't keep guns away from them without keeping them away from the rest of you, I really, really, really don't have a problem with that.

Joe, you have said these same comments a million times on these boards, you're just going to have to once and for all get it through your head there isn't going to be a gun round up here.
You're free to work at creating more and more background checks, longer waiting periods, more and more red tape, yada yada.
Those things however only affect guns that have yet to be purchased, there are already over 300 million guns in the hands of private citizens. The Genie is out of the bottle, your choices really come down to which country you want to move to that doesn't allow private ownership.
Would you like me to send you some travel brochures ?

[Rustic]

300 million is not enough... Help the economy buy more.

 

[Contumacious]

Your NRA/GOP perfect world.

Excuse me dingle berry.

The perp was a student there and knew that the community college had only one "guard" who was UNARMED and only carry a can of Mace.

So 20 students there were victimized ---yet AGAIN---by the gun control fascists.

[Rustic]

More gun control = means more dead kids.

Too bad there is not a school for common sense... I feel for ya progressives

 

[HenryBHough]

The same liberals bemoaning this slaughter are strangely silent about their (former) New Messiah's mass killing of aid workers at a hospital!

Or maybe that ISN'T so much "strange" as "SOP"?

 

[Derideo_Te]

It worked in Australia.

We're not going to let you people have a gun round up here.

In which case the blood of innocents is on your head and hands, and on those of your fellow gun fetishists, since you aren't prepared to even consider any reasonable measures at all to stem the slaughter.

Gun fetishists? Lol. Just because people recognize how important our rights are and that they need to be defended because the government does NOT have the power to grant or take away rights as they see fit. Our rights are not dependent on "feelings."

I make the distinction between normal gun owners and the gun fetishists who are obsessed single issue voters who can't live without their precious penile substitutes.

I defend the right to have firearms but with that right comes responsibility and accountability.

The gun fetishists want to have their guns without taking any responsibility or accountability for what happened in the OP.

Yes, they are accountable and responsible because they have actively obstructed all attempts at reasonable and sane measures to prevent these kinds of tragedies and they are still doing so right here in this thread.

Explain the measures that would have prevented this.

Free mental health care across the nation is a place to start. Repatriation of good jobs with benefits and a booming economy is another. Ending the Wall Street Casino bosses looting of the middle class and raising taxes on all incomes over $250k are additional measures that would have helped to prevent this.

Because the root cause is that this nation is stressed out by a lack of all of the above and that is what is driving this increase in mass shootings. We the People need to put the welfare of the people ahead of worshiping the Almighty Dollar and making blood sacrifices such as the one the OP.

Obama care is breaking my finances... What a cluster #%*^

THis is what gun nuts in Australia and England said, right before the government rounded up their guns and melted them down... It was epic.

I'm happy to start with guns yet to be purchased, as they are usually the ones that end up being bought by people like Mercer before they go on a rampage.

Rounding up the existing ones will happen sooner than later, though. Your own radicalism assures that.

 

[JoeB131]

Then you throw the private sellers in jail like they did to the assholes who sold to the Columbine shooters.

This really isn't complicated, guy. You probably realize this, or you wouldn't be shitting yourself every time there is a mass shooting terrified people might wake up to your bullshit.

Moron..their criminals are getting guns easily...in Britain, Australia and the rest of Europe..their gun banning didn't stop their criminals from getting guns, just their law abiding citizens.

The private seller who sold to the teenagers knew he was breaking the law....he broke the law moron......so pass as many laws as you want...if someone is willing to break them you can't stop them...you can only punish them after the fact...moron.

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

ROFLMNAO!

Yes... where the value being protected is one's MENTAL HEALTH! And where one is likely to find themselves in a school gunning down innocent children... the RECOMMENDATION for the purveyors of Mass-Children-murderin' is:

FREE HEALTHCARE!

And behind that, they'd like those nut jobs getting FREE HEALTHCARE... to have high paying jobs with LOTS of "BENEFITS"... (and its not fair to claim that the 'high-pay for a no-skill lunatic...' is a benefit).

​

 

[JoeB131]

Moron..their criminals are getting guns easily...in Britain, Australia and the rest of Europe..their gun banning didn't stop their criminals from getting guns, just their law abiding citizens.

Yet their gun deaths are in the hundreds and ours are in the tens of thousands.

But never mind. Obviously just one criminal getting a gun is good enough for you, Im sure.

Well, there is the value of deterance.

You sell a gun to a loser who shoots up a school, you go to jail for the rest of your life.

You put your gun in a nightstand and little Billy takes it out and shoots his sister, you go to jail for the rest of your life.

Pretty soon, a lot of gun owners will just figure out it's not worth having a gun in the house. Which of course, it really isn't.
