You really think the FedEx guy would have shot fewer is he had a handgun? This is not a perfect analogy but it’s kind of like reducing drunk driving deaths by making whiskey illegal. So no guns or ammo available online and the deranged mind just goes “oh well I’ll just watch TV”. I really think a number of the most notorious mass shooters, without access to guns via the internet, would have had to keep living out their violent fantasies in their head and through their video games. Certainly not all, but a significant number. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 It's generally been illegal for civilians to own fully automatic weapons since the 1930s IIRC. Why is that? Because back in the 1920s gangsters, bank robbers, and other assorted criminals were using them to kill bystanders, LEOs, rivals, and just about anybody who crossed them, and Congress did the responsible thing and banned them for most civilians. This was at a time when gun ownership among Americans was significantly more widespread than it is today. The 1930s laws didn't stop the criminals from killing people but it lessened the carnage. It's time for Congress to do its job and at least lessen the carnage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Another mass shooting, the 47th since March 16, 2020, occurred early this morning in a Kenosha, Wisconsin tavern. 3 dead, 2 injured. The shooter is still at large. Authorities believe it was a targeted shooting not a random one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying this is what happened but how many of the "mass" shootings are gang/drug turf wars? 19 hours ago, Motorin' said: I really think a number of the most notorious mass shooters, without access to guns via the internet, would have had to keep living out their violent fantasies in their head and through their video games.

Your background check idea may be helpful, as may reducing lethality of the weapons available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fix immigration then protect the border. A wise man once said "we don't do these things because they are easy. We do these things because they are hard." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Two legally purchased weapons of mass destruction used to slaughter eight people, wound several more and hurt countless family member's lives, yet the families can't sue the manufacturers of these weapons of mass killing?

B-Man Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 ANOTHER SHOOTING, ANOTHER FAKE NARRATIVE: A Recipe for More Tragedy.

As far as "weapons of mass destruction" goes... anyone with a good aim and a bad heart can kill 8 people with a .22 rifle. Its not the guns man.

Boatdrinks Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It seems that Indiana already has a “ red flag law” that’s been on the books for 15 years. Amazingly, it didn’t work. Doesn’t appear that a waiting period would do much in the FedEx shooting as the guns were purchased last July and last September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
