Mass Shootings in America Thread

Letting these kids behave this way would not seem to be doing anyone any favors. It seems we are teaching them that screeching lies about guns, insisting you're an expert because you were at a shooting(remember that time you went to a concert and came away an expert at that kind of music?), and insisting anyone who doesn't see things your way just doesn't care about dead kids.

Like or hate Dana Loesch, but these kids straight up said she must not care about her own kids that much because she doesn't agree with them.

Unfortunately it's not just the teens spreading misleading information.

YouTube video

George Stephanopoulos gets an alarming number of details wrong in this interview with Dana.

They're kids though. Every teenager thinks they already know everything.

Letting them vent, however misguided their opinions, could be a form of catharsis. It makes those who choose the publicity feel like someone is actually listening.

So how about just attacking their opinions as opposed to the kids themselves by saying that kids who've watched their friends being shot to death are a bunch of whiney brats, .

You're still wrong and pushing a fool's argument, eg show one of the Parkland kids a pink AR-15 with peace signs on it and they'll still have a problem with it, because it's still an AR-15 and can do what a "scary" matte back tactical-lookingAR-15 can do.

I've been on topic, in fact, I responding and shattered your post on topic which is why you're throwing a fit rn and Surt's joining in with your meltdown.

Also, can you just use your main account? Rather silly doing this two-person thing.

Can anyone tell me who tf he thinks I am or if he's just hearing voices. No you didn't shatter anything because what I said was a fact...AND your side is very much ok with weapons like shot guns etc. the reason is often the way it looks.

Fact is most gun crimes aren't even committed with a rifle ya dunce lol

The simple question is. The government decides to take weapons. They have a registry of every firearm every person owns. How does that not make their goal way way easier?

Either the government has a legitimate reason to take the weapons away Or you're really living in a paranoid country where everyday you feel you have to fight for your rights.

The only point you should feel "your rights" is being violated is if you've knowingly committed a crime with said firearms or know you shouldn't be legally allowed to be in possession of them.

What good would requiring people to register their weapons do?

Thinking the government wants to take your guns in order to enslave you is paranoid delusion and suffering from paranoid delusion is a valid reason to have your guns taken away.

Ironic.

If said gun is used in a crime and is found, it would give the detectives a starting point to go from. Any other stupid questions?

Using that logic, everyone should also be required to register their fingerprints and DNA.

You're doing a slippery-slope nonsense thing again, but if it makes you feel better, most citizens are fingerprinted now and DNA imprinting will likely be more and more used in the future, in shopping, voting, registering, security locks and checks etc.

Your argument was that it'd help police on the off chance that they found a gun used in a crime. if that is the standard. there are plenty of things that would help police.

Registering a gun when buying one is rather sensible though. Taking everyone's DNA isn't, at least not yet, but see the future. I mean, what's the counter argument if you're not a criminal against gun registration? Sell me on it with logic and reason, not slippery-slope nonsense.

Oh, the old "only criminals would be against this". The other side could easily use your same logic to argue for allowing the government to have unlimited spying rights on American citizens. after all, only people with something to hide would be against it.

I asked you to sell me on your point with logic and reason and not slippery-slope nonsense and you went the ole slippery path again. If your point is correct, surely you can do that.

So, sell me on it; I'm open to changing my mind. Why is registering guns a bad thing?

Marketing agencies & social media already use programs to monitor your daily routines & consumer habits. Your internet browsing is also easily attained. Your bank account details are also easily obtained if needed.

What makes you, “the average American citizen” more worried that your govt is personally spying on you when all the other data is already legally obtainable?

And I even forgot to mention emails, txt msgs & phone calls are already easily tracked & kept on data.

Most guns used in crimes are stolen though or obtained illegally ya dunce

Not to mention those few who would use their own legally purchased firearm to commit a crime, wouldn't be very likely to leave it behind. especially if it was registered.

His was never a serious point.

Like the crime of using said gun to defend yourself and or others.

Lefties HATE that crime.

Well? Surely you can sell me on your point with logic and reason: Why is registering guns a bad thing?

Yesterday tens of millions of gun owners didn't use them for illegal purposes.

Any new gun bought is registered. This is a big lie the dems use.
