Have you ever thought about why it’s so easy for criminals to get guns in the United States?

 

Also, and hear me out, what about the “good guys” that end up shooting the wrong “bad guys”. What about the people killed by “accidental shootings”. 
 

Also, again, guns aren’t going to keep criminals away. Their going to do what they do either way. At least if we don’t have guns, there’s an actual no one will be killed in process, and the proper authorities can work to locate and detain the criminal, and bring him to actual justice. Killing someone isn’t justice. Teaching people that murder is wrong, by murdering people, is probably the biggest paradox in history. 
 

The “Law Abiding Citizen” should also have no need for that concealed weapon. The only people with concealed weapons should be SWAT and the armed forces.

 

I’m not even going to comment on the fact that the “criminal” has been made a darker skin color than the “law abiding citizen”.

Completely agree. I mean, this is really not what a regular civilian needs. The fuck. One can only hope they are just trolling with some props, but you know, 'Murica.

Those aren’t props, there are legit guns :(. Our Constitution also allows for independently armed militias, so yeah :wacko:

Well i wasn't the one who created this..... but what about the shooting in texas? that would've been a lot worse if there was no one who carried a gun ?

 

It's easy to get because it's also very easy to get drugs on the streets, because you can always find illegal stuff you can pay for.

You mean you don't feel a lot safer if walking on the streets with those kind of people?

Or it may have not happened at all if access to guns wasn’t so simple.

 

It’s all about proliferation.

More gun control laws BS. And the obvious idea of striking down the Second Amendment is something that no US politician actually wants. Bunch of clowns and hypocrites :coffee:

Yes, let’s continue to murder our children with inaction!!!

I offer you the simpliest of solutions with repealing the 2nd Amendment. What's so wrong about that? The ever so outdated & racist Poland has such strict gun laws you have a hard time buying a mere air pistol over here. Forget about an assault rifle. Hell, you can legally own a black powder gun manufactured before 1885, a bow and an air pistol/rifle for lead pellets. That is all you have available in Poland. Everything else requires a gun permit which is notoriously difficult to obtain. You can't come in and say you're gonna hunt squirrels so you need a gun permit. They'd laugh you off and kick over to the street.

 

But here's the thing, the US gun laws are a part of the political battle. In politics so often the chase is more important than the catch. Gun rights is a massive fuel for political bickering and for majority of these politicians it's more important for this keep going on & on rather than solving it.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
    • Swedish sprint results:   women: 1. Sundling 2. Dahlqvist 3. Hagström 4. Ribom 5. Svahn 6. Lundgren   men: 1. Anger 2. Grate 3. Danielsson 4. McKeever (CAN) 5. Skoglund 6. Grahn
    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues. 
    • Anyway...let's hope that this is the last time this year we see a brownfield competition!
