  • Re: 0 Days Since Last Mass Killing: Maybe It's the Person, Not the Gun...

    A radio station in MADison, WI, had a shooting today. WORT FM. Nobody killed, but a DJ won't be able to sit on his *** all day, doing nothing.

      Have they yet blamed the right, like they tried to do with Annapolis? I'd watch out for these false flags, as they're trying to set a precedent with Acosta's rhetoric.

        With exception to your conspiracy BS thoughts, the answers to any valid questions you might have are there for you in the link.

                It was a western. That's about all it had in common with Blazing Saddles.

                I will admit, it was better than I thought it would be, but that is not saying much at all.

                  You failed to include irresponsible in there somehow. Super frickin duper irresponsible.

                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

                    My main beef with gun owners. Too many are irresponsible and don't follow basic safety rules.

                      Coupled with that, carriers are typically very self centered. Often, they are afraid to go out their front door or cowboys waiting for the opportunity to kill them some injuns. Increased risk for others is of no concern.

                        The inability to follow safety rules should not mean that they should be completely barred, especially if exception is given to those who "have the gold".

                        My biggest concern are these people with fascist tendencies, coupled with the "false flag" events. Once again, "false flag" does not mean that it was faked, nor does it mean "crisis actors". These events actually happen. The true motive behind them, however, are for political gain in trampling rights, by using the human's instinct to fear to their advantage. In these cases, there are more victims than those killed or wounded.

                          Yeah, decent people who can't keep their own **** together.

                          One of the more concerning findings in the study was that for the majority of guns recovered (62 percent), "the place where the owner lost possession of the firearm was unknown."

                          "We have a lot of people with a lot of guns," Fabio said, referencing statistics on the large number of guns in circulation. "And some of them aren't keeping track of them for different reasons — maybe because they have a lot of them and they don't use them that often."
                          "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

                            See last sentence of my post. The stat they throw out doesn’t really provide any context. I’d be curious what actually happened in those cases. Did someone have their whole house robbed or just a few guns? What is the time period when all these alleged crimes occurred? How many guns over time have these alleged crime victims purchased? I’d bet quite a few of those folks are straw purchasers who haven’t been caught yet.

                              When it's "unknown," like the first sentence of the quote posted from the article, that's not generally a burglary that's wiping out the house; owners will report those guns as stolen. In 62% of those lost/stolen guns, the location of the loss/theft could not be identified by the owners. If I'm carrying a weapon, I'm going to know whether or not it's on my body from the time I strap on the holster to the time I put it in my gun safe at night.

                              Get your **** together, gun owners.

                                Do you do anything to the person with an unregistered weapon who fires at a picnic full of kids?

                                I think we've all lost sight of something that has happened along the way (then again - maybe not). Life, instead of being treated as an asset, is being treated as fungible goods. If we value life, then using a weapon to settle arguments would be greatly diminished.
