OT: Off Topic 2019 part XIV - Days are getting shorter

[Therick67]

The rise of the white supremacist in the last 2 years is frightening. I am sure they were there before but now they fell empowered to come out from under their rocks. If you are an American and don't see this as a problem.....well that you are un-American.

You quoted me, yet none of this applies to what I said.

We have a society problem that includes all races, colors and creeds. Includes white supremacists and any other disgusting group.

As for me being un-American....I leave that alone because I don't want to be banned...

I did not mean to call you anti-American...The White Supremacists yes

As I mentioned automatics are illegal sooooo what kind of guns can people own? A Musket?

And you cant just buy a gun like bread. They have background checks. California is a 2 week waiting period.

Reading check two...
Where did I say automatic?

 

[Therick67]

Where did I say it was a white guy problem?

And you still stuck on ‘nobody’ really? Nobody?
Because whatever news you watch doesnt mention it that equals ‘nobody ‘?

And get away without background checks many states with private sales and the ‘gun show loophole’.

Yup, I'm still stuck on that. People making this a race issue are missing what's going on in this country.


You quoted me as I was responding to someone else, it's a chain of posts.

You said semi automatic. Automatics are more dangerous than Semi. Semi auto and auto are the only real choices for a gun unless its a revolver................

No worries. This is an emotional topic we all wish didn't exist..

Here's my $0.02:

There's a reason a certain English-speaking country has not had a "public mass shooting" in 20+ years, and another has had 2 in that same time frame, and it isn't because they fixed a mental health problem.

You hear it said that people like this will just find another way if you banned semi-automatic rifles, and you know what, that might be true. But there's a reason that so many of them choose the same style weapon to carry out these attacks. It's become way too easy for these people, and I'm so ******* tired of it.

If only the guy left some sort of explanation- we could tell if racism was part of his motivation.

I am so depressed about this country.

 

[Gee Wally]

Last warning.....

I cant believe Im actually having to write this.

Its not funny to post that it would be ‘funny’ if a certain group ‘was shot’.

Whats wrong with some of you?

The guy is sadly only a drop in the bucket and don't believe he represents every nut job who goes on a killing streak.

In El Paso they have the shooter and his manifesto which is how they are able to say it was race related.

In Dayton they killed the gunman but they have someone who was with him prior to the shooting in custody but the motives are murky because he killed his sister and seems to have a history going back to when he was much younger.

It’s all so effed up

I was hoping that was just a poorly proofread post that was missing something because... yikes

I'm with you, I just don't think trying to blame one group or issue will resolve it. Lots of things need to be figured out .

Its that kind of shit that happens in here a lot.
Warped minds.
And then I get fan mail on why something deleted, freedom of speech, etc...

Disgusting.

You do an amazing job and I know we don’t make things easy for you sometimes.

 

[Troublesome 85]

In less morbid news THIS is how I know school is starting back

1 order
30 gatorades
130 AZ ice teas only 3 flavors
Gave the 3rd part of the order to a coworker I like to get his stats up.
This was a bitch to do.

 

[Troublesome 85]

So sorry for your loss man - the nation’s got to get its priorities straight and start valuing lives over $.

5 years this fall. Since then others have passed away Murder, Suicide, Drug abuse........etc.........

Glad for the most part I abandoned that lifestyle wish others could have

 

[Ladyfan]

I'm with you, I just don't think trying to blame one group or issue will resolve it. Lots of things need to be figured out .

But it is getting worse. I don't see any hope for a couple of years at best. It makes my angry and sad.

I am sorry for your loss. It is terrible.

AR is an armalite rifle or something NOT an assault rifle. I have one like 10 feet away from me. LEGAL ones in this country are semi automatic. 1 trigger pull one bullet unless they have a recently banned bum stock or illegally have purchased an automatic which is either 3 round burst when u trigger pull or all bullets.

Yeah it's ridiculous they are legal. So you can't hold the trigger down...bfd as it takes milliseconds to press and release a trigger. I've shot them in ranges. I also support the second amendment...I don't however see any reason for these type guns or drum magazines...

You keep intimating that all of these incidents are exclusive to the current administration as if they happen in a vacuum. This is disingenuous because it happened just as much under his predecessors

 

[Troublesome 85]

I am sorry for your loss. It is terrible.

Man a lot of friends have passed away. Grieve for him more cuz I guess its gonna be 5 years then January it will b 5 years for 2 others who passed away within 2 weeks. In a few months will be a year since 2 others passed away.

8 Months so far in this year and my wish of no one close to me passing away so far has been granted.

 

[Gee Wally]

Ok. Lets move on now.

 

[LouJersey]

One can see where that would come in handy shooting defenseless animals or protecting your home from three dozen prowlers at once.

I feel you Susan.

After this weekend, I feel angrier than ever and it’s only going to get worse I’m afraid.

I don’t know what else to do other than to keep voting, speaking out and staying educated.
