The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread

[uncle junior]

the thread's been infested with retards.

[Wilsonandson]

He had a BB gun, he wore a maga cap, he shot my piglets, he had evil eyes.....

Okay, but so do millions of other rebelous teenagers. The kid is not the main problem here. What is the problem? Canadains have guns, but they seem to have way less gun crimes. Mental health? Yes, that seems to be a major factor, cause you got to be nuts to do something like this. What is the reason? I don't know, have to watch 'Bowling for Columbine' again.

[Grampa]

You really do put it all on the line with your predictions, don't you.

Nope.

Just stating what most of us here think.

Some day a real rain will come...

[Grampa]

the thread's been infested with retards.

It's basically the whole board infested with them.

As for the "thread dying part deux" I think it is accurate.

You can't really discuss much here of decent quality.

[cyrille]

Nope.

Just stating what most of us here think.

If 'most of us' need the dumbest poster on the forum as their spokesman then I'm sure they'll ask.

[cyrille]

Canadian gun laws [divide] firearms into categories with requirements including registration, permits, training courses and exams for all allowed weapons. First-time owners must also fill out a survey that asks about mental health and criminal record. There is a background check and mandatory 28-day waiting period. Canada also has no law or constitutional provision guaranteeing the right to bear arms.

They also, of course, do not have a moron for a president.

Well thanks for that pearl of wisdom Captain Obvious; I think even blind Freddy worked that one out.

The point being that tampering with the domestic arms industry such as banning any class of weapons or making them more difficult to obtain would have a detrimental effect on an already debt ridden economy.

When most people think of the US weapons industry they think of military weapons and dont realise how important the domestic arms industry is to the economy. This is pointed out to the pollies by the NRA and the weapons industry and contributes heavily to their reluctance to anything.

If you read the link you would possibly have been able to work this out.

US presidents cannot do much at all.

Obama was for "gun control" or restricting guns and who knows, perhaps even banning them.

If he did want some limitations/restriction that has to go through Congress and at times the USCC.

An Executive Order would likely be thrown out by the USCC.

This is from 2012, but the numbers are huge:

209,750 Number of jobs related to the firearm industry in 2012, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which estimates that $9.8 billion in annual wages are earned annually30% Percentage increase in employment in the industry between 2008 and 2011, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation

17-to-1 Ratio of gun-rights lobbyist spending to gun control lobbyist spending in 2011, according to opensecrets.org and an analysis by Republic Report. Gun rights groups spent $4,212,996; gun control groups spent $240,000.

A sign of the level of inanity

It was suggested "Arm the teacher" not by a forum troll or the NRA but the

"US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos Joshua Roberts/ReutersThe US education secretary said schools have the “option” of arming teachers but refused to be drawn on whether she personally believed it was a good idea.

If you're going to quote numbers, put it into perspective:

$42.9 billion

Estimated overall economic impact of the firearms and ammo industry in the U.S. (NSSF)

$229 billion

The cost of fatal and non-fatal gun violence to the U.S. in 2012, representing 1.4% of total gross domestic product.(Mother Jones)

DeVos last year suggested students should be armed...to protect against bear attack.

^ ^^ and ^^^,

Indivative of the obvious that:

this is a very f*cked up issue in many fronts.

And things won't change.

These are just "suggestions....." Which wouldn't work well anyway, IMO.

So a teacher would carry a CCW, pistol. He/she is still a sitting duck. Holster an AR-15 over their shoulders while in class?

What would the US Composting Council have to do with Executive Orders?

Hee-hee.

Oh, you mean the thing that just about everybody on the planet bar simpletons like yourself calls SCOTUS?

Harry,

You have two styles of posting: 1. insult / name call. 2. Ask a rhetorical question that is a waste of space.

Your rhetorical question to me is #2.

USSC: United States Supreme Court.

And of course, SCOTUS is one likes.


You must be bored in your retirement - and unhappy as well.

[Mr Earl]

Looks like the FBI bungled their investigation of this Cruz kid shooter.
It was well known this kid was trouble, but they failed to do anything about him.
Bungled education and law enforcement, an outrageous breach of public trust.

$42.9 billion

Does anyone actually believe that ???
They must be counting the military amo and guns.

As a reminder : The U.S. military budget is $611 billions

Not just the NRA the domestic firearms industry is a big contributor to the US economy, a snip from:

And Stefan notes Psychotropic and SSRI drugs, which (a lot / many?) mass shooters were prescribed while doing the slaughter.

And he notes how the media is basically mute on this as well as the politicians, who get multi-millions of dollars from the Big Pharma Companies.

He says this at 32:05

[harrybarracuda]

The issue is not the drugs, nor the mental illness.

Even someone with no history of mental illness can have a nervous breakdown.

The problem is that a fucking teenager can buy an AR15 and a shitload of ammo.

No other developed country allows this, because they aren't fucking stupid.
