In response to U.S. gun carnage, Canada to enact tough laws

[brewcity77]

You ever notice how I never personally attack anyone here? And except for the Daily Beast, not much information on the shooter, picture, description, etc. You could see why people question media and narrative bias. Just an observation.

Keep moving those goalposts.

"No one is talking about this!"

Pakuni proves that everyone is talking about this.

"They aren't talking about it right!"

And by "right," I think we all know what he means.

From your first few posts.

You guys are losers. Squirting your pants over who is and isn't vaccinated. It's not anyone's business. Get a life already and move on, or don't. Life is moving on without you guys.

Shooting going on in Racine area now.

Trying to contact my daughter right now. She had an outing with her class in adjacent park.

[Goose]

Looks like shots at a funeral. Hope all is well with your daughter and her classmates.

Seems like the hospital shooting is now being escorted out the narrative door...wonder why.

Oh sweetheart ... you had me at "black supremacists."

[Jockey]

Looks like five shot at a funeral. Hope all is well with your daughter and her classmates.

Thanks for the good wishes

Worst part is that we are out of town. Finally got through to her and they are all OK. They walked past the cemetery heading back to school about 20 minutes before the shooting started.

She took the Texas shooting really, really hard. This isn't going to help.

I think what Rocket is getting at, is that prosecutors drop the gun charge quite often,  like in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.

Edit doing some googling, it looks like at some articles from Philly and Indy, about 1/2 the gun charges are dropped. No, it wont prevent the mass shootings, but it might prevent quite a few other shootings.

thank you lawdog!  i was going to cite some of these statistics, but i just get ripped for the source

  also, take a look at where most(not all) mass shootings occur...in places where guns are disallowed or prohibited.

This (lame) talking point was already addressed above.

[rocket surgeon]

By "serious problems" do you mean having to fill out a little extra paperwork, completing a background check, or having to go through a waiting period in order to purchase a gun?

I'm very curious to hear what serious problems would arise that outweigh the benefits of curbing gun violence. Most proposals being made would be an inconvenience at worst to responsible gun owners.

i seriously hope you are smarter than this-please please think this one thru.  try to think of all the angles.  sorry, although i'm not a criminal, it requires you to think like one.  think wack a mole

Odd.  I just watched a story on  my local news featuring a 10 second look at the mugshot.

You could only be more wrong if you were making an effort.

The common denominator in black on black shootings, white on white shootings, white on black shootings,  black on white shootings.... is the guns.

is everything a "talking point" to you guys??  regardless, it's a point that needs to be taken seriously.  every time we put forth a point, you guys just minimize it by saying-
                                                    1) fox news
                                                    2) qnon?
                                                    3) talking point
                                                   

   and this is from the crowd that follows sources that wet themselves over an avenotti presidency

Better be careful, Rocket. They might report you for thought crimes.

no it isn't-it's evil people and criminals with guns-i know, another "talking point"  well, prove me wrong

Because your posts show lack of originality and merely mimic whatever talking points are going around. 

Anyways, it was addressed above.

Right.  So maybe we should try to keep guns out of evil people's hands.  We can at least try in a way that wouldn't be a terrible inconvenience for the law abiding citizen.

But apparently you don't want to try.

Binge some ivermectin and get a grip.

What do evil people other countries use to commit mass murders?

[Uncle Rico]

Guys, Merit Matters is a racist.  Engaging him emboldens that racism.

They use bombs, rockets and missiles. We need common sense bomb control NOW.

...and the people who use them to kill. So let us agree get the guns off the street as well as these people; our cities with strict gun laws are doing a great job of doing both. As I have said if we don't enforce the laws that already are in place, passing any new laws won't mean squat if the DAs don't prosecute. That is not deflecting the issue it is also part of the problem, not just the gun.

Here's CNN's live update page since you can't seem to find it on your own: https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/tulsa-oklahoma-hospital-shooting-06-02-22/index.html

If you are just talking about what people are paying attention to, sorry 19 dead 10 year olds is more shocking and more abhorent than 4 dead adults. Both are tragedies but you could understand why the average joe might pay more attention to one than the other.

But I see that this is yet another case a man being able to legally buy an AR-15 and shortly afterwards (same day in this instance) go on a rampage. We can never know if increased gun control could have prevented this, but I see a reasonable argument that a mandatory waiting period may have allowed this individual time to cool down, have second thoughts, or display enough red flags that someone else would be able to intervene.

A 2 dollar lock on the school door would have prevented all of this. How about mandatory locks on all school doors that can be monitored not only at the school but local sheriff's department. That is legislation I can support.

There was a lock on the door. It malfunctioned.
And $2 isn't getting you much of a lock, and certainly not one that can be monitored from multiple locations.
It's amazing that some people would rather turn our schools into fortresses than make it just a wee bit harder to acquire a killing machine.

How about less guns, too?
