Another Mass Shooting in the Good Ol' USA

[Chicks]

"How about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion - mandatory 48-hr waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he's about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, and an ultrasound wand up the ass (just because).

Let's close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, people who call him a murderer and beg him not to buy a gun.

It makes more sense to do this with young men and guns than with women and health care, right? I mean, no woman getting an abortion has killed a room full of people in seconds, right?"

Let me remind you, that it was one lone Texas Border Patrol Officer than ran into 'the line of fire', used a (dare I say it) gun and killed the guy that went off his rocker.

That person is a True American Hero.

And Rickey "when will we ever learn", learn WHAT ?

It turns out that the guy being touted as a Hero did not enter the building until after the shooting stopped.

I'm not sure how the perpetrator was shot and killed.

Well it's another case of our 2nd amendment at work, Ms. Boebert. Waiting for the gut wrenching plea for "thoughts and prayers" from the right.

Since this latest massacre of six and seven year olds, I've seen it asked here and there around the internet "what is this country coming to?" We know good and goddamn well why our country is coming to this. And it's not about mental illness as the cons continue to want to peg it. There are just as many crazy people per capita in the UK as we have. And our firearms homicide rate is 40 times the rate in the UK. 40 FUCKING TIMES. After their first mass school shooting in Dunblane Scotland in 1996, it took the Brits a year to outlaw possession of anything but long barreled, non-automatic hunting rifles and shotguns. And now our gun homicide rate is 40 times theirs.

It came to this when we didn't do jack shit after Charles Whitman shot up the University of Texas in 1966, or when we didn't do jack shit after Columbine for christ's sake.

The rate in El Salvador is 400 Fucking Times higher than the UK.

They move here because it's peaceful.

Maybe y'all should move.

Is that the new excuse? "Well, were not as bad as El Salvador ".

Love it or leave, eh Spiro???

Maybe, we will move. The blonde has dual US/Ireland citizenship. So when it gets bad enough in this shithole...and we aren't quite there yet...we will possibly utilize it. Thinking Dublin (she has 40 or 50 first cousins in Ireland) Copenhagen, or Amsterdam, or perhaps even Malmo, Sweden...I have a half-brother there.

Meantime...we are all aware that there are more dangerous places to live than US cities like Detroit, Birmingham, Baltimore or Gary. Third world countries with cities like Juarez, Kabul, Port Moresby, and yes, San Salvador come immediately to mind. Maybe you and I could have a little chat about just how the interference by this country in the government of El Salvador was the cause of the problems that still exist in El Salvador.

But the discussion of comparative firearms homicide rates, has always been amongst first world countries...y'know countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the Scandinavian countries to name a few. Democracies...not dictatorships.

It's the Trumpers like you who always want to compare apples with oranges...it's why you always end up sounding so fucking stupid.

If I'm such a simple man, it seems like you could keep track of what I post on this forum. I'm no where close to being a Trumper.

The comparative rates I mentioned came from the link YOU provided, I didn't realize the discussion had somehow been limited to first world countries only.

In fact it wasn't until now. Your significant other, "The Blonde", probably doesn't stand much of a chance talking back to you.

We don't need more legislative control in the country, IMHO. Relying on the authorities upstairs is what kept police sitting outside the school for an hour while some asshole went around shooting those children.

The people 'at the top' are not good people.

My bad, that was Bob.
