Another US Shooting

[Pete]

Imagine getting up each morning for school, wondering if today's the day you'll get shot.  Think I'd fuck school of forever if that were the case here. 
Most of the countries they (the USA) profess to hate are more civilised than them.

We live in a very sick world and there's no place as sick as America. Absolute shithole.

Apparently the 27th school shooting this year. Americans have given up on the lives of youngsters so they can keep on buying guns. Madness.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Four years ago kids not yet old enough to say "bullshit" called out the political corruption that's behind every single mass shooting.

 

No cunt in Washington listened; they just carried on taking NRA money and refusing to do anything to protect children.

 

There isn't a Hell deep enough for them.

If I remember rightly, opinion polls routinely say that American citizens - even NRA members - want controls such as background checks, cooling-off periods and bans on certain types of weapons and accessories. But, come election time, any politician who supports these things is portrayed as an un-American tyrant, coming to take away your right to defend yourself and your family.

 

Politicians have given up on children's lives so they can keep taking gun-lobby money. It's not madness; it's evil.

Steve Kerr mentions in his pre-match press conference that 90% of Americans, regardless of political allegiance, support having stricter background checks/gun controls.

Just think, a mentally ill teenager can legally buy a gun in parts of the USA. In a few months, in parts of the USA, that mentally ill teenager could rape a woman at gunpoint, get her pregnant, and that woman would not be legally be allowed to have an abortion.

Depressing that this thread gets bumped on a regular basis. Another sad day in their history.

Biden needs to watch Bowling for Columbine.

[manwiththestick]

All you need to know, this run of tragic events isn't going to go away any time soon, too much money changing hands at the top..

 

There have already been 27 school shootings this year alone. Young school children routinely rehearse what to do if a gunman enters their classroom.

I think Biden is going to take on the NRA. 

He's an old man, this will be his only term as president.

But opinion polls matter for nought when a large number of the 90% then vote for the Republicans anyway, who will then ignore the vote of the lower house. They may want checks when asked their opinion but that feeling isn't strong enough to vote for people who may give them the checks.

I hope so. But what a country where it's President is handcuffed from doing anything about it. Isn't there some phoney law that the US have named an 'executive decision' or similar? Where a President can rule on something considered a national emergency or is this only for an an excuse for war?

Even more depressing is at least 19 kids killed in a primary school and it's not even worthy of it's own thread anymore because we have one dedicated to mass shooting in America. Truly fucked up.

It's the way the gun-control position is framed. It's the same as the voters who were dead set against "Obamacare" (because, y'know, Socialism) and were then shocked to lose their Affordable Care Act rights. Most Americans want "responsible gun ownership", but any moves to legislate for that are portrayed as attempts to steal everyone's guns so the Government can hoard them.

I was working with a couple of Americans a few years ago during another couple of mass shootings. 

Their intellectual, well thought out rebuff was "price of freedom". Nothing else but "price of freedom". No doubt they are still using the same defence.

Fuck me. I hope you stamped their bollocks into a paté, because any cunt that blasé about murdered children deserves no better.

Unfortunately he doesn't have the numbers and will likely be something approaching a lame duck president post the mid-terms if as expected the Republicans make gains. That's before he even tries to take on individual states.

I honestly dont get the discussion around arming the teachers and things like that. The security guard at the supermarket shooting was ex police, so i assume well trained, and he ended up getting shot, after his shot bounced off the lads armour.

 

Its like some weird episode of Brass Eye. They will be telling the teacher and kids that they need to suit up in body armour next during classes. The only way to stop this isnt to legislate for better gun control, its to have the kids dressed up in army cammo body armour and run at the shooter, causing a distraction by kicking him in the shins and biting his ankles. This will allow the teacher enough time to run to their turret and fire the armor piercing bullets from their anti air craft gun. Several kids will likely be caught in the crossfire, but this is the price of freedom and they are heroes, laying down their lives to save those of their classmates and the rights of every gun owner in the USA.

The annual NRA conference starts Friday, in Houston, Texas. Planned speakers include Governor of Texas Greg Abbott (most recently seen on TV offering “thoughts and prayers” to the bereaved parents ) and the fat cunt from the original American version of The Apprentice. 
If I were the embattled leader of a country struggling with a war against an ally of America, I might look to stage an attack there, along with concerted propaganda blaming ‘the left’ supplied by the cheaply-purchased Fox News network.

 

But I’m not, so no one has to worry about that.

It's not just about gun control.

Where were these Baptists radicalised, anyway?
