The yankee mass shootings thread

[Boydy]

They could use a big magnet.

[bruhnaldo]

Well that's what I was thinking (the financial responsibility part). How in the fuck would we even fund such a thing.

[bruhnaldo]

They could use a big magnet.

Now we're fucking cooking.

[phonics]

Well that's what I was thinking (the financial responsibility part). How in the fuck would we even fund such a thing.

Incredibly easily, finding the money isn't the financially irresponsible part.

[Lewis]

You also don't have mandatory national service that comes with regular psychological assessments and weapons training, so not everyone's allowed to carry one. Handguns and other personal arms are incredibly hard to get etc. It's what comes with it.

The second amendment says you have a right to bare arms as part of a regulated militia, not as some bloke that's watched too much Fox news and has gone from not locking his door for the last 30 years to thinking the Mexicans are going to rob his farm (my ex-girlfriends Iowan fathers road to gun ownership).

Yeah, I don't know why just making them harder to get (and subject to having to re-apply to keep them) isn't taken as the sensible middle ground, bearing in mind that the stereotypical armed to the teeth mentalists tend to actually be the more responsible owners. The SLIPPERY SLOPE I suppose (not unreasonable). The best bet might be selling it on racist grounds like the old prohibitionists. Nobody wants to take your wall full of hunting rifles off you, permits permitting; but if Leroy gets caught without one we can lock him up for twenty years wahey.

Amnesties and confiscations though lol grow up lads.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You wouldn't need to give out financial incentives.

Make it a felony to own an automatic rifle so it counts as a 'strike' and people would shit their pants.

[Yevrah]

"Leroy's" not really behind all the mass shootings though, is he?

[bruhnaldo]

Incredibly easily, finding the money isn't the financially irresponsible part.

I mean we can't even pay teachers a living wage but we're gonna pay out a billion dollars to turn in some guns, though? That's more of what I mean I'm just shitty at explaining myself.

The fact that you need a license to drive a car but not own a gun blows my mind. At the end of the day, it's the same issue as everything, capital. The NRA, funded by the manufacturers, have spent the last 25 years creating a culture war to sell as many as possible. There are 350 million guns or something but they're only owned by 70 million or so of the population which is another factor.

[bruhnaldo]

Make it a felony to own an automatic rifle so it counts as a 'strike' and people would shit their pants.

But that falls back to my point of having no idea who actually has assault rifles and if i recall actual automatics are already banned as it is (though I may be off on that).

I thought these lunatics had to get semi-automatics modified so that they act more like automatics.

Automatic / semi-automatic isn't really the point though and I realize this was probably meant in general and more of a semantics thing.

[Lewis]

Leroy tends to exclusively shoot other people called Leroy (or Darnell or Tyrone), which is hardly an insignificant issue , and something which 'gun control' would presumably have to deal with as well as the Beta Uprising.

I think every 'solution' ignores the point that bruhnaldo made that a large section of them just really like guns. You can't criminalise them, because they won't care, and the 'reee you're not a "well-regulated militia" reee' people are pissing into the wind. You might as well tell us that monarchy is stupid, or that the NHS is crap. You're right, but who wants to know?

[phonics]

I mean we can't even pay teachers a living wage but we're gonna pay out a billion dollars to turn in some guns, though? That's more of what I mean I'm just shitty at explaining myself.

You choose not to pay teachers a living wage. You increased the military budget from 586 billion to 716 billion in the last three years. The money is there, it's just going to corrupt ends. You added 2 trillion to the debt over 10 years cutting taxes for the already insanely wealthy. It's very easy to find the money.

(bruh before you flip out, please note that the use of you is not a personal attack)

[bruhnaldo]

"Leroy's" not really behind all the mass shootings though, is he?

Which would play very heavily into it. Like he alluded, most of the I LOVE MUH GUNZZZ .. OVAH MUH DEAD BODY types are going to scream to the rooftops they've done absolutely nothing wrong and now you're "setting them up" to fail by trying to take away what they truly believe is rightfully theirs.

Sure, let's say half of them love the law so much they are going to just turn their shit in without a fuss. You still have 35 million (if the 70 million mark is accurate) folks who are ready to go to war over their fancy AR15's etc. etc.

[Lewis]

More to the point, why would anyone sell the government their guns? If you wanted money instead of guns, you wouldn't buy them in the first place.

[bruhnaldo]

You increased the military budget from 586 billion to 716 billion in the last three years. The money is there, it's just going to corrupt ends.

Sure, I don't necessarily disagree with that. But now you're asking corruption to unravel itself so that one of the most profitable lobbyists in America can lose all of their supposed political power.

They can keep them if they can look a 5 year old in the eyes and kill them.

Fear of a felony otherwise? But then again there's no one here who could possibly say we'd get 100% of the guns. Even getting 90% of the assault rifles would apparently mean there are 35,000,000 still left floating around.

Which obviously is fucking great until some nutter gets one and then voila 30 more people are dead and now we really have no fucking solution because we blew our load earlier.

Shit will always happen. Shit won't happen 252 times in 6 months though. This is such a shitty argument, 'Why should we try make society better? you'll complain when it isn't perfect anyway.'

[bruhnaldo]

That's not what I'm saying at all my friend. I've said several times let's do it, let's try and get some of the guns off the streets. I'm entirely for it.

[bruhnaldo]

My argument is more that things that are being suggested would ironically put more lives at risk than any other initiative would, because in order to execute these initiatives, you'd likely have to use brute force to even make a dent in the problem itself.

Which again listen, we gotta do some-fuckin-thing. But I think I'm more perturbed that the pretense on display gives off the idea that the solution is not only super easy but entirely perfect and without fault.

[bruhnaldo]

They can keep them if they can look a 5 year old in the eyes and kill them.

They can keep them because they're not going to tell you they have them and you're not going to be able to just waltz in someone's home on "suspicion of having an assault rifle" much like you can't just walk in my house because you think i'm doing crack cocaine.

[Yevrah]

Rounding all the guns up only works if people want to do that. They manifestly don't, so it's a complete non-starter.

[bruhnaldo]

So basically we did all of that to get back to square one, which is "We get what we deserve."

Welp.

[Spoonsky]

Bruh is right in that “seize all the guns” is never, ever going to happen in this country for cultural reasons that Europeans, understandably, have a hard time wrapping their head around.

He’s wrong in that, as Bernanke pointed out, just because there isn’t a fool proof solution doesn’t mean the government couldn’t be doing a hell of a lot more to reduce the frequency of these things, if a sizeable minority of the country weren’t dead set against any gun regulations whatsoever.

[Pepe]

I am in the "banning the guns won't fix the mentalist mass shooters issue" camp. With that said, the laws around gun ownership in most states are absolutely laughable. Tighter control of gun ownership is one of those things that is so basic (I mean, I cannot drive my car legally if the horn isn't working or if the turn signals don't cancel automatically after a turn, but criminal checks before buying a gun are totally restricting freedomz) that there really is no reasonable explanation from it not happening, but god bless the two party system.

While it wouldn't solve the mass shooter issue, it would most likely decrease suicides, those lol Walmart parking lot arguments that end up with someone getting shot, kids shooting themselves accidents, and would probably even reduce "gang violence" a bit. All of those sound worthy to me.

[Pepe]

Actually, I take that back. Be stringent enough and wait enough time and it would also decrease mass shootings.

[bruhnaldo]

I just realized I need a license to go salt water fishing but not to have an AR15.

[bruhnaldo]

While it wouldn't solve the mass shooter issue, it would most likely decrease suicides, those lol Walmart parking lot arguments that end up with someone getting shot, kids shooting themselves accidents, and would probably even reduce "gang violence" a bit. All of those sound worthy to me.

And you know what with all due respect those types of incidents likely add up to a higher number surely?

Or maybe people don't commit as many single victim homicides as I imagine the do.

Either way I don't see why not.

There's a lot of very simple things that could be done that really wouldn't ACTUALLY impact anyone's fReEdOmS and would likely at least save ONE life and surely that's worth it.

[SincereTheRebel]

A Purge could sort this out. Forget about eliminating guns, just eliminate people.

[Spikey M]

Should we legalise the keeping of bombs because terrorists are using them anyway?

[Lewis]

The second pleb has chucked the NARRATIVE into a bit of a tailspin overnight. Hopefully things can get back to normal once they're all awake.

[Pepe]

And you know what with all due respect those types of incidents likely add up to a higher number surely?

Suicides are like 60% of all gun-related deaths, so yes.

[Disco]

There's no need for amnesties (although it wouldn't hurt) or sieging redneck compounds, you just decide that all new purchases need to be registered. If you want a bit of a harder line you make buyers register their existing weapons when they buy new ones. It'll take years to get rid of the rest but there is no instant solution that doesn't involve a civil war.

[John Arne]

We should just do what politicians and late night talkshow hosts do.... Talk about it for 2 weeks of its the most important thing in the world, and then forget about and move on with our life's until it happens again.

[Disco]

If you talked about every mass shooting for two weeks you still be doing it in almost a decades time, and that's just this year's efforts.

[bruhnaldo]

Should we legalise the keeping of bombs because terrorists are using them anyway?

I gotta be honest considering I feel like I've been pretty open about to ideas as to how to start getting rid of the guns I'm a bit confused by this response but I'm also an idiot so that's not surprising.

[bruhnaldo]

Ok ok what if .. now hear me out...

What if we banned assault rifles, right. Created a licensing procedure and all that good stuff.

BUT THEN ALSO

we legalize prostitution so that all of those no pussy getting losers that need to shoot up events to feel special can get their little rocks off and leave everyone else alone?

If you wish to enlist as a non-citizen in the Air Force, you must be a legal permanent resident with a valid Green Card or a legal, non-citizen with a valid visa. These spots are limited. The requirements for being an Officer are a little more strict, and you must be a native-born or naturalized United States citizen.

Still, how many people from Spain do you think are enlisted in the Army? Definitely not millions.

Have the yellows sniffed out an opportunity to wade into the blacks' territory or did the fact these women were Asian have something to do with the nutter's attack?

[Lewis]

Statistically speaking blacks are the most likely group to attack Asians, and second is other Asians, so the NARRATIVE currently has to hold that everything bad that happens to Asians is white people encouraging it and that everything Asians do for themselves is their own attempts at aping(!) white people, which is hilariously insular/American in thinking that Koreans didn't become racist and nerdy until encountering American life (see also: the Indian diaspora thinking we invented the caste system).

The only Asians with legitimate beef in the West (other than the ones getting attacked by blacks) are Asian men, who are seen as the absolute dregs of the dating market. Even half-Asian boys growing up with a white old man and a mail order mother are liable to grow into comparative manlets with identity problems. Their women can shut their identical faces.

The mass reaction by people on twitter condemning the police officer for shooting him is infuriating. The kid literally drops the gun he was holding as he puts up his hands, giving the copper 0.5 seconds to react. Yet people just post a screenshot of the kid without the gun to justify slamming the police officer.

Perhaps instead of condemning the officer (who are im extremely difficult situations such as these), look at the gang banger that gave the kid the gun moments earlier or the kid's parents.

The other one where the female officer thought she was using a taser is an absolute shocker on the officer's part.

School schooting in Michigan.

3 dead, 8 injured.



A 15-year-old student opened fire at his Michigan high school on Tuesday, killing three other students and wounding eight other people, authorities say.

Oakland county undersheriff Mike McCabe identified the three students who were killed as a 16-year-old boy and two girls, ages 14 and 17. He said two of the wounded were undergoing surgery as of Tuesday evening and six others were in stable condition. One of the people wounded was a schoolteacher, authorities said.

Don't disagree, but that then falls into the bucket of "not wanting to do anything about it".

The profiles of America’s mass shooters don’t fit into an easy political box. The 18-year-old who massacred the elderly black New Yorkers at the grocery store in Buffalo earlier this month was driven by white supremacy and evil conspiracies like the Great Replacement. The shooter the next day, who targeted a Taiwanese Church in Laguna Woods, California, was Chinese. The recent shooting in Dallas, at a Korean spa, was carried out by a young black man. The mass murderer in Uvalde, another 18-year-old, is Hispanic.

Look at that diversity. This might be the first field in which the DEI crowd has managed to achieve equity. They should be proud.

I’d say this is how most of us in the US feel about it too. Your learned helplessness gives you the arguments on this page (Americans are savage idiots who don’t care; you shouldn’t care). Our learned helplessness gives us equally, if not more stupid arguments (like whatever the fuck Pepe is on about, the metaphysical “what is an assault rifle, really?” We need to arm the communist union members who we think are brainwashing our children into becoming queer transgender …? Have another constitutional convention!). Not that we don’t care. We’re just numbing the pain of not knowing what we as individuals can do with all this noise like an alcoholic taking another drink.

Saddest thing is that the public has forgotten that all big changes in the US happen bottom up and not too down. True for political movements like marriage equality or civil rights that I support. True for the pro-life nonsense and the gun rights shit as well. It is always a million little local campaigns divorced a bit from the parties that manages to get a couple thousand signatures on a petition, votes in a local election, and test cases in local courts to build and force precedent. We all hate politics because we all refuse to actually engage in it on an unsexy, grinding, personal way. But we’ll create a massive din of noise and argue about the argument as we sit in our learned helplessness.

[Yevrah]

I don't know if this one did, but in every school/uni shooting I've seen there always seems to be a guard who's armed with a shirt, cap and crappy handgun that hasn't a hope in hell of defending himself, let alone those in his care against a properly armed and prepared attacker. Why don't they give that guard an assault rifle and some sodding body armour?

Well course, but guns are never going to be restricted enough to stop this happening so the conversation should turn to what else can be done. I like the properly armed security guard angle and if there's a net increase in the number of killings through that approach you go back to the drawing board.

Columbine was 23 years ago now and it keeps happening, so surely somebody in the US must be looking at practical and realistic ways to stop/mitigate this shit?

So you can say these ideas are as shit as you like and they may well be, but what is the solution or at least something that can be done that would help? There must be something.

This is the correct thought process. You see it work in the US all the time as well but it is a long slow grinding unsexy process that works like this:

1) Find local interest groups to partner with (businesses who want reduced insurance, local community groups, local gun clubs, or whoever)
2) Push a signature campaign with these groups to get ordnances on the ballot. Lots of different ones in communities all over.
3) Get people to show up in local elections where you only need a couple thousand people to pass something instead of wasting time on bills where you don’t have enough elected officials.
4) Start pushing cases through the courts to see what sticks / what doesn’t. Supreme Court has already said it isn’t an unlimited right.
5) Electeds in state legislatures start to pass bills because it is what their constituents want. Look at all the nonsense anti-abortion bills that are on the books that will become law when the Supreme Court guts Roe.
6) Finally, the pressure builds on National electeds or enough laws / cases have been pushed to make precedent.

The answer is politics. Local politics works in the US and the people who practice it win. Worked for civil rights, marriage equality, pro-life, and gun enthusiasts. Try getting an abortion in Texas or Louisiana. The right is there but good luck accessing it. When the process starts nobody really knows what the exact bill, law, regulation is that will work. However, push it in enough communities and you can learn. But it is a long slow process that used to be more common in the US and only the right practices it anymore.

Honestly Lewis, we (Americans that is) have to admit we don’t have a fucking clue and are just distracting ourselves.

I grew up in 80’s Louisiana. There were lots of guns. Not lots of mass shooting. What changed? Not a fucking clue.

I was in the military for five years from 90-95. Literally saw the US military switch from fully automatic AR15 based to semiautomatic because Desert Storm taught us that you can’t hit shit with an AR15 based system on automatic fire. We never got a single piece of training on using it with full auto and the only time we used it? When the LT didn’t want to have to try and count up all the unused rounds on forms at the range and we needed to burn a couple hundred rounds.

Cops are shit because they get the lethality training but not the aggression training. They can put the number of rounds that match their weapon’s stopping power into center mass. Be able to be in a stressful situation without fight or flight kicking in. No. You train for that constantly through live fire exercises and whatnot. They are just bombs waiting to happen on the civilian population.

And the debates? Yelling at my in-laws that the shotguns they have to shoot ducks are causing mass murder doesn’t seem particularly good strategy. They are not opposed on spec to gun control but they have had shotguns their whole lives and have never seen anyone shot at or killed by one of their guns. Just screaming about taking everything just makes them stop listening.

The NRA of my childhood was different than what it is now. It was about local clubs and gun safety classes. Even now, most gun owners are fine with increased gun controls. But nobody is bypassing all the shit throwers of national politics.

And really, we have no clue how to stop it all. A lot of the cases are people who slipped through existing laws. So how do you make sure those laws are being enforced properly?

The gunman roamed outside the Uvalde school for 12 minutes before entering unchallenged, police said on Thursday.

He killed 19 children and two teachers before he was shot dead 90 minutes after he arrived, police said.

That delay, combined with video footage showing frustrated parents being tackled and handcuffed by police while the gunman was still inside the school, has led to growing public anger and scrutiny of the early response.

If it didn't frequently involve a pile of dead kids (the stories of them smearing themselves with their friends blood in order to hide and being caught out shouting for help are horrendous) the responses to these things would be hilarious. The main advice from the idiots/financially invested seems to be recommending arming more people, presumably so they can stand outside as well and keep the police company, and less doors. If Mellin hadn't run off with with all our money it would be worth betting the cops killed at least one after they bothered to go in.
