We banning guns yet? Alright see yall next mass shooting
Where were all the good people with guns ensuring that peace would erupt instead?
Well you see the proliferation of firearms always benefits the violent criminal over the heroic defender. Always. It’s a losing race.
Even back to the Wild West, places like Tombstone and Dodge City would come to implement gun control laws because, surprise, being mutually armed doesn’t help when the other guy has both the element of surprise and willingness to fire first.
But if it fails in real life, try, try again!
Alright see ya Tuesday man.
I can’t wait that long!
Probably won’t have to.
Over thier dead bodies!
Where wolf?
And over there. And a couple more over there. And one there too.
No, we’re not banning guns because that requires a Constitutional amendment, not going to happen. We couldn’t pass an amendment making 06/21 Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.
But to those of you with this facile “BAN” argument, I have a couple of questions. Why wasn’t this shit happening when I was a kid? EDIT: By “this shit”, I meant mass shootings.
You could order whatever the hell you liked from the Sears catalog. LOL, I have a pump shotgun that was sold in Western Auto stores. You could ride around with long guns mounted in your truck window. And yes, you could get an AR-15 in the 70s.
Only way I’ve seen laws become more permissive is regarding conceal carry. (I can argue both for and against this.) On every other front, more restrictions.
So what’s up? Not an easy question, I know. It would take a shelf full of books. We don’t know what happened here, but does it really matter to attack this issue case-by-case? It’s happening. It didn’t used to happen.
I’ll say it 100 times more, America doesn’t have a gun problem, America has a culture problem.
Guns are the culture problem.
Why wasn’t this shit happening when I was a kid?
It was. Gun homicides were even worse when you were a kid
Got some backing on that? What I really meant to address was mass shootings, but I’d look at evidence either way.
every stat in every city. this is one of those “so common it doesn’t need citations”
However, that is just “gun violence”. Mass shootings specifically - those I believe have been on a dramatic increase.
As in before, lots of individual murders. Now, lots of mass murders.
2 killed, 8 wounded in mass culturalization outside Arkansas grocery store
Fixed the headline for ya.

I used to be anti-gun, until I found out that Canadians own guns at the same rate as TEXANS. We Americans are losing our fucking minds. We’re kept at each other’s throats to distract us from the fact that the 1% are fucking us all over.
Look at the regs surrounding gun ownership in Canada.
Not the same animal at all.
Plenty of countries allow guns, but the rules for their use and ownership are far more restrictive than the relative free for all we have in the US.
The ONLY way to this could have been Prevented was if the Officer SHOT the gunman First before he could KILL anyone! And the only way the Officer could have known there was a Crazy Murderous Gunman afoot was if he simply SHOT everyone in the store! Therefore Police should be able to Murder people without cause.
Minority Report: Special EDition.
What’s really fucked up is I couldn’t tell this was sarcastic until the end.
One law enforcement officer was among those wounded, Arkansas State Police said.
Maybe if enough of their heroic boys in blue that they salute with their special flag are wounded, we’ll start being able to talk about guns like adults.
Or politicians. And let me be clear to the mods and admins I am not advocating for this I am simply stating a fact.
