Absolute cunts to a man.

Dubman there’s been 129 mass shootings in the US this year, and it’s only March.

Dead kid season seems to come around ping earlier and earlier every year

I know mate. When are they going to wake up and ban AR-15’s

Dubman Ironically he was taken out by armed Police who were carrying a modified AR Rifle.

Watched the body cam video of the Nashville shooter getting ‘neutralised’ within two minutes of the cops entering the building - fearless. Credit where credit is due, pigs did a good job there. Total 180 from the other shooting in Texas think it was, with the videos of them holding back sobbing hysterical parents and doing fuck all else.

Dan

rhouses LOL at ‘Pigs’ it’s like we’re back in the 80’s.

I cant see any type of gun control in the US during my life time. The rest of the world seems to forget the US is a very young country born from rebellion from an oppressive government. Its in their DNA the story of rising up against the Brits and seizing control. Installed from a very early age at school. I’d say 50% of Americans I met when living there brought up the War of Independence within the first hour of me meeting them. The point being, without the right to arms that rebellion would never have happened. Hence why its such a coveted right to many. Its the essence of the Union. The fact nowadays the Govt has nuclear submarines and drone fighter jets vs their Wall Mart AR15 doesn’t really register that the right to bear arms is meaningless in todays world.

I feel like the country has gone through the various stages of country development ( independance / civil war / industrialisation / immigration etc etc ) that took European countries hundreds of years in a very short time frame in an already semi-developed world. Some things have “stuck” in the past and have been left behind with a somewhat medieval mindset. Gun ownership being the main one.

Ban request for being sensible / balanced!!

IndustryStandard I’ve been to the US an awful lot and I’ve never heard a single mention of the war of independence. The thing that bugs the fuck out of me about the 2nd Amendments nut jobs is that the wording, meaning and definition of arms are completely different to their interpretation - stupid cunts.

IndustryStandard The point being, without the right to arms that rebellion would never have happened.

Kinda the other way around. The ‘right’ to bear arms was included in the US Constitution as part of the Bill of Rights in 1791, 8 years after the end of the American Revolutionary War. As it turns out, the only time the US population has actually needed to bear arms against the tyranny of government, it didn’t have the ‘right’ to do so - it just did it anyway. Go figure etc etc.

I’m not sure I believe the argument anyway - I think it’s a convenient excuse for gun ownership for a bunch of people that just like to own and shoot guns.

I think you’re right though - I can’t see a pathway to significant gun control in the US. I’m not sure how much of a difference it would really make at this point. There’s something ridiculous like 1.3 guns per adult member of the population in the US. No gun control advocate that I’ve seen in the past 30 years in the White House has had the political capital to do anything about it, and I don’t see that changing in my lifetime…

Your country / government is bought and owned by corporations who want to sell you guns, that is the only reason the gun deaths are so high. Your corporate owned government wants it.

IndustryStandard Americans are bred on fear, the bogie man, the native americans, the Brits, the north/south, communists, immigrants…..the list goes on. Arm and be ready!

As told to you by those corporations.

IndustryStandard I cant see any type of gun control in the US during my life time.

It’ll take a generational shift, you need the redneck kids to turn their backs on them, and probably a third party to vote for. Nothing doing for at least thirty years at the very earliest.

Mad_Cyril lol…i try

Don’t forget our very own Jonatton was probably a victim of gun crime.

RIP.
