Mass Shooting Thread: Waiting on the next one.

[getback]

Thread getting weird again.

Fact of the matter is, some LEGAL gun owners are apparently trash at securing their weapons and their kids go on to take them and do things like this.

Parents should be held accountable.

If you can be held accountable for not securing your swimming pool when an accident happens, this should be a no brainer.

Lol legal gun owners are almost NEVER the cause of gun violence... inconvenient FACT, i know.

How dangerous people get their guns in America

While mass shootings like Las Vegas make headlines, gun violence in some neighborhoods is almost routine. Where do the guns come from?

www.cbsnews.com

The supply chain of guns to crime
While criminals typically do not buy their guns at a store, all but a tiny fraction of those in circulation in the United States are first sold at retail by a gun dealer – including the guns that eventually end up in the hands of criminals.

That first retail sale was most likely legal, in that the clerk followed federal and state requirements for documentation, a background check and record-keeping. While there are scofflaw dealers who sometimes make under-the-counter deals, that is by no means the norm.

If a gun ends up in criminal use, it is usually after several more transactions. The average age of guns taken from Chicago gangs is over 11 years

What appears to be true is that there are few big operators in this domain. The typical trafficker or underground broker is not making a living that way but rather just making a few dollars on the side. The supply chain for guns used in crime bears little relationship to the supply chain for heroin or cocaine and is much more akin to that for cigarettes and beer that are diverted to underage teenagers.

From stray purchases to stolen guns, legal gun owners are pretty involved in the process of turning a legal firearm into an illegal one.

I don't know which topic is more volatile, this or abortion.

This one is easy. Just one kid that cries

Man damn...

What's hilarious is the anti abortion people are fine with kids being killed in schools.

The irony writes itself.

The gun debate is always tough.

1. Most reasonable people are against senseless loss of life

2. Murder is already illegal

3. Guns in the wrong hand cause tragedies

4. Guns in the right hands have prevented tragedies

5. The vast majority of gun deaths are suicides

6. Twice as many people died at Astroworld than died in this latest Michigan shooting

All of this makes limiting the conversation to guns as the issue difficult.

There's no absolute right answer. Many answers are kinda right based on the situation, as with many things.

All sounds like to me American citizens can't handle firearms.

6. Twice as many people died at Astroworld than died in this latest Michigan shooting

What's the significance of this? Seems completely random.

 

[WASHED KING]

Yeah I mean them kids did die at Astroworld can't restrict guns now.

if only there weren’t other countries in the world that have had horrific things happen there too and could be used as examples….

Seeing the way the football player is being talked about is sad as hell

Like it’s always a little disappointing to me when I read those stories about kids doing good deeds that really reflect of how sad things are in society

instead of trying make a feel good story out of this shh maybe let’s look at how f’d it is that these kids are in being put in these positions to have to do this shhh

Another mass casualty event that could ostensibly have been prevented with more regulation.

 

[sreggie101]

Its always YOU people that dont even know the existing laws that want to add more.

They sound just as dumb.

"Murder is already illegal" So is genocide. And jaywalking.

TF is your point?

Typing lists like human beings are mere computer programs waiting for the right instructions to spit out the correct outcome.
