I lost.Those selecting shotgun and pistol in the Weapon(s) of Choice pool, please collect your prizes.
Totally agree.r.i.p to all the students and teachers who died in this horrific tragedy.
I know it has been said before but the U.S.A needs to change their gun laws. instead of focusing on prostitution & what crisis trump is going to create next they should be working on ways to better their country. I hope I don't offend anyone when I say TRUMP was the WORST thing to happen to USA ever!
God bless all those families and friends who have lost loved ones and please be with them in their time of need. God hear our prayer. In this we pray AMEN.
But according to red neck anti-government militia, their self trained hunting rifle skills will defend against the US Army.... who some reason want to waste their time taking over farms, rural towns and trailer parks.To me, Americans seem like very frightened, insecure people. Their media sells fear, fear is good for ratings, and as a result, so many Americans seem to think that if they don’t own guns, their families will be brutally raped and murdered. America paints a picture of a very bleak world. We need guns to defend our families. We need guns to stop dangerous black people. We need guns to fight tyranny. We need guns to stop bad people with guns.
It’s all the paranoid fantasy of a small, weak, scared man. You’re not going to fight a tyrannical government with your gun. They have drones, and tanks, and an airforce. You’re not going to suddenly become John McClane when a shooting breaks out. You are not a trained soldier, you might be able to hit targets at a range, but when people are running around screaming, and it’s loud and chaotic, you don’t know where the shooter is because your adrenaline is pumping, you’re panicking, and you have tunnel vision, you’re not going to be helpful. At best, you’ll freeze up, at worst, you’ll wind up probably hurting more people and making it harder for the police to do their job because there are now multiple people shooting. Shootings are scary. People the military train, break down and build back up as killing machines, come back with PTSD and all sorts of other mental health issues. You really think your average citizen is going to actually improve a situation like that by having a gun? It’s complete silliness.
Guns do need to be harder to get, but it’s more than that. They way society over there glorifies violence and fear needs to change. I think the American media as a whole is absolutely deplorable and a lot of this blood is on their hands.
Bingo! The media is a big part of the problem. But not the only part of the problem, because the problem is a perfect storm of issues. Lack of gun control, a culture of fear and anger, repressed masculinity, and an increased prevalence of mental illness is colliding horrifically. A solution will not be found so long as people refuse to accept that their bastion (be it guns, the media, etc.) is at least partially responsible. All they do now is point a finger.To me, Americans seem like very frightened, insecure people. Their media sells fear, fear is good for ratings, and as a result, so many Americans seem to think that if they don’t own guns, their families will be brutally raped and murdered. America paints a picture of a very bleak world.
Harsh? No. But ill advised. We shouldn't be looking for solutions after-the-fact, but instead preventing these people from becoming monsters in the first place: gun control to limit the tools, allow boys to be boys in healthy ways, provide mental health services for those slipping through the cracks, and do something with the media so it doesn't promote an atmosphere of fear and hate. I have no idea what to do about social media though.yip, change the location and name of the f/n LOSER. same old news. Word of advice for ya LOSERS out there. Do the world a favor and go to the nearest landfill alone and shoot yourself please. Is this harsh? NO imo.
^^^^ Yup.To me, Americans seem like very frightened, insecure people.

Well said.To me, Americans seem like very frightened, insecure people. Their media sells fear, fear is good for ratings, and as a result, so many Americans seem to think that if they don’t own guns, their families will be brutally raped and murdered.

I find it insane. The amount of people there that actually believe this nonsense is astounding to me.This is not the mindset of a healthy person, and yet it’s incredibly common down there, even held up as an example of what a red-blooded, flag-waving American should be.
Thoughts and prayers are the only thing they're willing to do about it.So when is the candle light vigil scheduled for?
And keeping the victims, "in our thoughts and prayers".
Fuck, if there was ever a cliche saying that makes me want to puke every time I hear it.
