Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 The attack on San Jose targeted the transit workers so my first thought is that the terrorist was related to the agency in some manner. Edit: As per the LA Times: Quote The sources also said early indications are that the shooting was related to a workplace issue and that it did not involve riders of Santa Clara County's light rail system.

You’re a good guy despite having the wrong opinion here Here's the thing though... the thing that you enjoy (in this case guns, owning guns, shooting guns, jerking off to guns whatever...) is an inherently dangerous activity and should be treated as such. I would think that a sensible person would want their "hobby" to be as safe as possible and would want folks who shouldn;t be engaging in that "hobby" to be as responsible as possible. That's not the position of the extreme 2nd ammendment activists. Their response to any notion of gun regulation is complete idiocy and they consistently double down on that fact. I myself have never been a "let's ban all guns" kind of guy and I've been on the wrong in of firearms more times than a nice guy like me should ever be. That said I think at the very least we should regulate guns at the same level we regulate fucking cars. At the LEAST. We've had fifteen mass shootings in this country since FRIDAY. FRIDAY. Not even a full week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't confirmed that officially yet but there is talk of a house fire that may be tied into this. The number right now does NOT include any family members... there will be another press conference at 1:30 Pacific, 4:30 Eastern. So crazy, when I got off work this morning it was a relatively slow news day... wake up and ANOTHER mass shooting has occured. Fucking nuts that we've just accepted this as normal in this country.

There are a dozen mass shootings every weekend. The only thing that keeps these from becoming national news is whether the dozens of people shot happen to die or not, so mostly pure chance and the how well the shooter can aim. There were at least 12 mass shootings across the US this weekend WWW.CNN.COM Eleven people died and another 69 were injured in mass shootings over the weekend. Only 62 mass shootings this month, so far. We've still got five more days to go with another weekend upon us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Newsom condemned the decision, calling it “a direct threat to public safety and the lives of innocent Californians, period." Quote In his 94-page ruling, the judge spoke favorably of modern weapons, said they were overwhelmingly used for legal reasons. “Like the Swiss Army knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle,” the judge said in his ruling’s introduction. “This case is not about extraordinary weapons lying at the outer limits of Second Amendment protection. The banned ‘assault weapons’ are not bazookas, howitzers, or machine guns. Those arms are dangerous and solely useful for military purposes,” his ruling said. “This is an average case about average guns used in average ways for average purposes,” the ruling said. “One is to be forgiven if one is persuaded by news media and others that the nation is awash with murderous AR-15 assault rifles. The facts, however, do not support this hyperbole, and facts matter.” 94 page very normal Fox News judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I've always heard the phrase "trespassers will be shot" but seeing someone double down on the idea of shooting someone who is posing no threat to you, just simply being on your property and they think the law will protect them was really...something.

Brick Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I always wondered about signs like that and wondered what if my car broke down, and I was coming to knock on your front door to ask for help? I'm clearly not armed, but are they really going to rush out with a shotgun pointed at me telling me to get off their property? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
