People who think like this should be lobotomized and dumped into the desert. Fucking trash bag humans
There's no group better than in this country at not wasting a tragedy to increase their budget than the police unions.
Yes, I agree with this on the face. But… this quote implies that what we’re facing is not a gun problem, it’s a something else problem (mental health, video games, parenting, etc.) which other countries also face. The US is facing a gun problem. Plain and simple. Remove the guns, or regulate strictly the way Japan does, and things get dramatically better. Japan and the US are not at all on the same footing with regard to gun restrictions and we have essentially no restrictions for guns capable of killing dozens in seconds. It’s just fucking gross that we all these weapons in the hands of an average citizen.
There is no country to compare to our own. In other countries they'd never allow this to continue. WE have people that are perfectly fine with sacrificing children so they can cosplay as rambo. Then we have other morons who think we should arm fucking teachers and kids (These people deserve a special kind of hell and a special kind of (redacted))
They can't own handguns or other semi auto weapons. They have to go through a stringent licensing process to just hunt. That's light years from us and is like the perfect scenario for gun regulation
The guy who killed the former PM had to create his own gun to do it Meanwhile in America we had a former president almost get his fucking head taken off by military grade weaponry THERE IS NO COMPARISON FOR THE US TO ANY OTHER FIRST WORLD COUNTRY
The guy who tried to kill our former president probably went to Dicks. *and was within an inch of a clean headshot from 150 yards thanks to the advances in modern rifles
You have to gave a license for a nail gun in Japan. They regulate sword ownership. It’s basically the opposite of here.
Funny, based on what that post was responding to, I read that post to say the opposite, that if you have high regulated gun ownership laws it doesn’t matter as much about the high-complexity of gun ownership issues in the US. And then when he used Japan as the example when asked to provide, I thought he was saying that if the US had strict gun ownership laws like Japan the issue could be helped despite the complexity of the situation in the US. Seems like everyone is reading it differently than me, so I’m not going to try to say anything other than we seem to agree on my point in principle, even if I’m attributing to him my point and I misinterpreted what he meant.
I once went to Japan and they made me get a license to carry around these guns :pointing to my sculpted arms:
that’s because they have responsible gun laws that make guns difficult to get I didn’t say they owned a similar volume of guns?
that’s not what I was trying to say at all, was trying to say we need more regulation if we are going to own guns
I’m also completely fine getting rid of hand guns and assault rifles maybe keep that little 4-10 pistol legal for home defense that’s pretty much all you need
Canada has a little more lax gun ownership laws than most of Western Europe, Australia, etc. and they still don't face this problem. I'd start there.
Had to drop something off for kid at high school. Security officer was too lazy to come out of guard station and scan my id like they are supposed to…the day after a school shooting
There really is something for everyone on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/liberalgunowners/s/OazBJf6RqI
Fuck that. Shotgun. Shotgun is all you need for “home defense” and even then it’s still basically useless. Better off just getting a dog if you don’t wanna get robbed.
That’s really all there should be. Only reason I can see revolvers is if you’re hiking or camping or whatever and need it in case of a wild animal. No other practical reason for a handgun other than to kill people.
Has it been determined the kind of gun he used? For that many injuries I'd assume it's some kind of assault rifle with a big magazine.
And bear spray is more effective than a hand gun. Don’t know about other animal species. And for shotguns it would be the single or double barrel type, not the have 8 rounds in the tube below the barrel.
that’s what I was talking about, it’s a pistol that shoots a very small shot gun shell, I checked they even sell less lethal versions of the .410 shell
like what? Are you implying that school shootings and mass shootings aren’t a uniquely American problem? I don’t think he was implying that it’s solely a gun ownership issue. There are other “American” things that contribute to this problem
I just checked and then immediately deactivated. I should have done it a lot earlier, but it is what it is. Fuck Elon
