CastlevaniaNut18 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I’m fine with just my limited capacity hunting guns. Licensing and registration are good. The rest can be tossed into the incinerator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 So other countries have similar rates of mental health instabilty as us and they don't have the gun violence. In China, mentally unstable people have targeted CHILDREN with knives on several occasions. They have nowhere near the body counts that we have here. I wonder why Also in the frontier west when monied interests wanted to build up towns, particularly mining towns what was they FIRST thing they did? They got local governments to outlaw weapons IN THE CITY LIMITS because shoot outs were so bad. This happened in the cowboy west. If folks want to get this shit under control they could. They won't because one party is out of ideas and all they have left is appealing to the worse natures of their contistituents. We might as well just lock this thread and except that we live in the largest, most wealthy banana republic in the history of the world... with nukes.

5timechamp Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Someone at my daughters HS butt dialed their parents in the locker room.. someone slammed a locker shut and apparently it sounded like a gunshot.. the fact that the student butt dialed meant he couldnt respond to the panicked parent yelling for the so the parent called cops.. police responded in force.. my kid going between classes was holding the door for the cops…better safe than sorry and a wuick response but it sucks that this is our new norm..

Various news groups are to blame for this shit, people bombarded with stories about crime all the time make people believe at any moment society is going to devolve into utter chaos and take all their shit, and i hear people like this all the time in rural NY, one lady i worked with was describing going to one of our walmarts in the small city area near us like she was in the movie blackhawk down, and it was really cause she saw poorer people, and minorities, she of course survived the ordeal no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my mother I think people just flat out don't understand probability and statistics. Not in the definition of those things but their minds don't understand the concepts. Everything is scary to my mom and I don't understand it because this woman was legit attacked in Colombia. We were there together to introduce her to my ex and she went to visit her sisters and on the way back some dudes on motorcycles tried to steal the taxi she was in or pull them over to rob them. She was shot at in this event. Our country is like bazaro world. Our gun culture is insane quite frankly. I support gun ownership for recreational shooting, competirive shooting, collectors, the revolution, etc. I have seen this commercial about soldier suicides and it's a commercial as a PSA for gun storage safety. My brother in Christ as a person that is technically only alive because suicide was never as easy as getting a loaded gun and pulling the trigger. Papa you're gonna be better off without the gun in your house. It's just safer. I still wouldn't buy even a ww2/ww1 era rifle because I the chances of me shooting myself isn't 0. If it ever becomes that sure but at this point no. Maybe like the old caliber Martini-Henry or rifles that use paper cartridges. I need/want that delay of I have to make my own/buy ammo atleast.

Fucking sickening. Ya. Like, I’d even understand an old man getting his gun at that hour, just in case if they were that worried. But he didn’t even need to open the door, just a loud, “yes, Can I help you?” “Hey, I’m looking to pick up my siblings, is this the right place?” ”No, I’m sorry, wrong house” ”ok, Thank you” it was that fucking simple. There was never a need to face him, nothing. Straight execution. And he sure as hell can’t claim stand your ground or castle law, there was no demand to leave, forced entry or attack, no threar or danger. this one is just a baffling awful decision.
