Today's mass shooting in the US

Uther · 5 Nov 2017 at 22:59

Interesting, I was just reading about one of the victims of the last shooting, unfortunately for her she lived so will probably bankrupt herself now paying for the treatment she needs for the rest of her life. Not the time to talk about gun controls though...
I think I'm more surprised when a week goes by without a mass shooting in the US tbh.

America and it's ******* love of guns.

Religion's gonna religion innit. Guns gonna guns innit.

Or the finger that pulls the trigger that is.

In seriousness though, RIP to the dead. Pointless loss of life :-(

Guns pretty much are a religion for lots of them

Ugh - very sad

RIP

Shooter was a 26 year old white male.

He killed all those people in 15 seconds according to witnesses!

RIP, poor ********. Never had a chance.

Judging by the guys name and looking Trump's response to the New York attack, maybe they should be looking at a retrospective ban on Irish immigrants from 200+ years ago...

Press Conference about to start.

Will never get my head around America and their gun laws

Pointless loss of life again which will no doubt bring zero change

Might as well make mass shootings a sticky post...

Easy peasy with something like an AR-15. :mad:

Local resident stopped him with his own gun and chased after him in his own vehicle.

The shooter was also dishonourable discharged from the USAF in 2014. Which is an automatic ban of owning firearms.

"Worst mass shooting" in the states history

He was a Texan native but not from that small town.

I'm relatively pro-gun but it boggles my mind that anything approaching full auto is legal to own except specific hunting permits where land owners or pest control might need more rapid fire against larger animals. In many cases just no need for anything but bolt action.

This is a country where you can go to a Gun Show and buy guns from private sellers with no ID check and no requirement for the sale to be recorded.

You can go to a private individual and buy a gun from them wherever they are.

That's a more accurate way of saying it.

VincentHanna · 6 Nov 2017 at 00:19

For all intents and purposes it's no different.

However, doing it at a show is legal. Selling from the trunk of a car is illegal.

Despite the eventual outcome being the same... undesirables have easy access to guns with no traceability.

Will anything change under a Republican controlled America? lawl, of course not!!

Edit/ Ohh and to top it off the utter scum bag trump is on telly at the moment ******* himself off and joking about :mad:

I haven't seen anything from Donnie Twitter Two Scoops on this one so far. He's not sleeping is he? Or has his handler removed his phone while they check if the attacker is white and the victim non-white?

Come on! MAGA!

"Thoughts and prayers" and **** all else.

When someone can walk into a school, kill 20 six - seven year old children and nothing change; what makes you think anything will change after this?

Craterloads · 6 Nov 2017 at 01:25

According to Fox News the problem wasn’t the gun but the evil in his heart (something about Jesus warning them about Satan)

Hotwired · 6 Nov 2017 at 01:44

So the solution is more religion?

Felon · 6 Nov 2017 at 02:06

its interesting how Obama used to respond to these types of events with genuine attempts to change things - even though he failed, I’m pretty sure he tried damn hard against the thick skinned bullet-proof NRA and it’s cronies.

In comparison to Obama - literally nothing comes out of Trump at all, when these things happen, no good words, no ideas, no clue - just a tweet containing some BS about prayers and god, he’s trash with money - nothing more.

And I imagine that’s the way it’ll go on, repeated tweets a couple of words each time the bodies pile up.

No hope.
