All of that lumped into one pile.
Keep in mind Columbine happened during the AWB and Australia got rid of all semi-autos and most long guns.
Getting rid of "assault rifles" isn't going to do it. Which has been my stance all along.
It's just easy to point at those as the problem."I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I think there's something to be said for that" -One For The Road

Here’s a question, between you and me, which one of us has carried a weapon in combat? Don’t think too hard, it’ll come to you

The problem isn't a training problem.. The problem is guns are so easy to kill with any idiot can shred a school, mall, Walmart, etc in a matter of minutes.. As long as they're willing to die doing it, with guns, especially sick guns readily available, we're all fucked...
And ya there are other ways to kill a lot of people.. but few as easy as this... and banning access to other things harms our overall productivity and net social value more than banning AR15s does..Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Yeah... there are other ways to kill a lot of people but you gotta figure out how to build bombs or disperse poison..
Even killing just one person. The other methods are messy and personal. It takes some real rage to beat someone to death and they get to at least try to fight back..

The Columbine shooters bombs didn't explode, so they had to use their handguns. Assault weapons were banned at that time.

If only there was something we could do...
Uuuuuhhhh a 995 (amongst the Columbine shooters’ kit) is hardly a “handgun”

The counterpoint to this is the popularity amongst anti-gun advocates of the expired assault weapons ban. In no small part due to technical deficiencies, it created a new class of ban-evading guns that were, in most ways, not a lot less dangerous in the hands of someone who wants to shoot a lot of people.
Treating all semiautomatic rifles the same makes far more sense to me, but it becomes a tougher sell because you're now lumping a Ruger 10/22 in the same category as an AR-15.

It matters because all the gravy SEALs(you) with weapons of war are idiots. It’s just fantasy bullshit larping and cosplay. You dorks can do that with real toy guns. If you like the idea of carrying a weapon and fantasize about engaging the bad guys enlist or go fight in one of the ongoing wars. I can tell you that it’s not that glamorous. Sack up or get out of the way.

I’m not the one posting pictures of blinged out ARs and bragging about my latest tax stamp acquisition.
Most people lose their desire to play soldier around puberty, apparently you have a ways to go.

I agree it’s dumb for those who develop gun safety policies to not be educated on the particulars.
I do not agree that I personally need to know the differences in order to believe stricter laws are necessary. Again that is just fucking stupid.
I’m an expert in a few things I guarantee you are not. I’m sure you’re an expert in things I’m not. It’s ridiculous to say “you need to be on my level before you can, as a member of the public, demand safer rules” around what I’m an expert in.
I don’t need to educate myself on what led to the specific design decisions around the 737 Max in order to believe that this shit shoulda been handled better.
It’s a lazy excuse for dismissing calls for better gun safety laws. Do better.

The OP ^^^
I will try to link the article quoting ' 'Senator' Johnson' as having determined that school slaughters are due to CriticalRaceTheory and the "woke-ness" of the liberal left -
https://madison.com/news/local/govt-...ea88b6ff7.html
I sure don't find any cause to hope this situation is going to improve in this thread ;
there's a post - it might even be in the first ten pages -
' Nothing will change. This is the cost of living in a gun culture. '
( screw) the gun culture -
... makes me want to clean-up and volunteer as a hall monitor at the elementary school ;
one of these cowards can shoot me first
( maybe the local swat team will sit outside waiting... )
Done with this thread
( Thank you for entertaining Bobby- ).
how does a community of 16,000 have a school district "police force" that sets up Incident Command inside a school that has been invaded, and orders law enforcement to stay out of the school ?
I can't wait to hear the final version of this story -
Thanks to the BorTac team that only waited forty-five minutes to engage the killer.
peace to Alvarde. tjLast edited by skiJ; 05-28-2022 at 05:17 PM.
