Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

I haven't been following the story, but that in itself is kind of a good thing. During tragedies people, of both sides of the political spectrum, are way to quick to say what the problem was and not do the right thing and wait for actual facts.

Yeah. You cannot hope to address the reasons for the guy wanting to action. There will always be anger. All you can do is address enablers of mass death - the most dangerous weapons and the ability to easily use them.

Revised casualties. For 50 dead read 58. For 200 injured, read 515.

That's quite an ad for the weapon. It does its job.

I would say banning assault weapons is a start. They're military weapons and that's where they should remain. So at least let's make that step.

I wouldn't say that setting differences aside, as I would prefer to have that to be able to defend myself. And if I were your neighbor, I would also offer to defend you, as well as the entire neighborhood. Whether you'd like that service or not is your choice, and will be respected. I would have zero desire to attack you, and would ensure steps that no one has the ability to attack you with it. It's called a safe. I would actually use it.

And then when they drive an 18-wheeler into the crowd, just like what's happening in "gun free" England, are you going to ban that as well?

Both sides were wrong at the country festival in Vegas. The gunmen for shooting people and the crowd for not being armed to the teeth and complying with security.

Can't you just take a double dose of your sad tinydick pills to compensate for the fact that you're a weak, insecure loser rather than putting the rest of us in danger?

eventually 18-wheelers won't have steering wheels or drivers

Just because you can't stop death by 18 wheeler...doesn't mean that you can't try to do something about mass gun shootings.

You're so focused on the implement that you fail to see what the actual issue is.

Still trying to not only dictate how I should live my life, especially when I am ensuring you aren't directly affected, but are also trying to pill push, eh?

If they hadn't been there they wouldn't have been shot. And why were so many people gathered in one place? I'm not saying they were there to cause trouble; I'm only saying that seems suspicious.

Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

You're also very unlikely to be killed by a terrorist, but we also spend billions of dollars trying to prevent 'terrorist attacks' (excluding mass shootings -- we don't seem to do much to prevent those).

Well if this shooter's name was Hassan you can bet your bottom dollar new laws would be enacted to stop it.

Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

There is something odd about this shooting, in that the target doesn't seem to fit. A country music festival? Why would a gun nut target what could be stereotyped as his own people? Was he just insane, and he "broke"? Does he have some other motive? I'm very curious to learn more about what this guy's reasons were in his messed up mind.
