School Shooting at Community College in Oregon

[RandomGuy]

I just wish you'd drop your mask completely and come try to take my guns. America is on a collision course and I for one am ready to deal with any and all threats to my security and livelihood. Keep on pestering, your wishes are going to come true. Keep whitewashing those pictures of black shooters. Keep talking your ing .

You going to go down to the ATF and let them know what you are thinking about that?

Maybe you will band together, and use those guns to drive them out and create a free state?

Guns don't kill people.

They just make it a lot easier for crazy and evil people to kill lots of other people.

Guns are used to provide protection and food

No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

In the hours following a violent rampage in southwestern Oregon in which a lone attacker killed nine individuals and seriously injured seven others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Thursday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place.

“This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said Ohio resident Lindsay Bennett, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations.

“It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this guy from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what he really wanted.”

At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past six years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

Armed Vet Destroys Gun Nuts’ Argument on Mass Shooters By Explaining Why He Didn’t Attack Oregon Killer

veteran John Parker said he knows lots of students who conceal carry at the school because, despite a school policy that discourages weapons on campus, Oregon state law does allow it.

Saying he does conceal carry in case “I’m in close proximity” to an incident where he might try to save some lives,

Conservative commentators — none of whom were caught up in the panic and confusion at the college campus — have complained that the school’s “gun-free” designation drew the shooter there and that a “good guy with a gun” could have stopped him.

“Luckily we made the choice not to get involved,” he explained. “We were quite a distance away from the building where this was happening.

And we could have opened ourselves up to be potential targets ourselves, and not knowing where SWAT was, their response time, they wouldn’t know who we were.

And if we had our guns ready to shoot, they could think that we were bad guys.”

Parker noted that he was hustled into a classroom with other students by a professor who asked if anyone was armed. He said he raised his hand and said he would attempt to protect his fellow students if they came under attack.

um no, a male assailant could easily overpower an unarmed female. or a larger male could overpower and rob another male. or they could rob you as a group. or rob you with a knife, or beat you with a blunt object. quit acting like there isn't a need for guns for self protection. this is a violent country with a large subhuman underclass who hates the so called "white people" or anyone who is successful really. take away the gun and the violent intentions are still there.

Your alternative?

[spurraider21]

Your alternative?

not destroying every confiscated gun

confiscate the weapon, and LEGALLY reintroduce it into circulation with the same regulations/restrictions as a brand new gun

i'm fine with a lot of the other provisions you stated. just makes no sense to destroy everything you confiscate. it's throwing money down the drain. would you also destroy a car if it was purchased illegally? burn down a home if it was acquired illegally? etc

the stratagy is reduce the extreme high level of guns circulating in USA, NOT to keep them circulating. And reduce the guns in the possession of Bad Guys with extremely stringent regulations.

If a Good Guy can't meet the stringent regulations, he can't get a gun, or keep his guns.

throwing guns down the drain is the objective.

A car exists to provide transportation, a home to provide shelter, a gun exists to kill stuff. you and your analogies suck.

John Oliver Takes on the Pro-Gun 'Mental Health' Hypocrisy

John Oliver took this defensive approach to task. “The aftermath of a mass shooting might actually be the worst time to talk about mental health,” said Oliver. “Because, for the record, the vast majority of mentally ill people are non-violent. And the vast majority of gun violence is committed by non-mentally ill people. In fact, mentally ill people are far likelier to be the victim of violence rather than the perpetrators.”

Oliver then tackled the policies surrounding mental health, breaking down how congress has failed to fund the problem which has resulted in millions of mentally ill people behind bars. “If we’re going to constantly use mentally ill people to dodge conversations about gun control, then the very least we owe them is a ing plan,” said Oliver.

the mass shootings for a few dozen dead/years account for only tiny amount of 30K annual gun deaths, but are hyped all of proportion by the advertizing-chasing, mass-shooting-promoting media.

Guns also serve purposes that aren't against the law
