Active shooter in Las Vegas

[RandomGuy]

for those that say aussie gun laws is an example that can work = fail
the clowns who are allowed to get guns are usually targets by thieves to steal from and go use them or resell them, the clown that loss their gun can go get a new one as long they fit whatever new criteria... its always the same idiots who loses their guns man...choice of gun is usually shotgun, guns used in robberies are sawn-off shotguns to make it shorter...

then u have the smuggled guns though the ports, or home made handguns...

No one disputes guns can't be had with efforts.

Where Aussie gun laws succeed is avoiding mass shootings with hundreds of victims.

It would be simple to get rid of guns. Just pass a law outlawing them. See how well its worked with drugs?

Rough analogy, but not quite apt.

Pot plant = seed, soil, and water.

Guns = long industrial supply chain that is not easily replicated on any scale

The other failure of this analogy is that guns are not known to be physically addictive.

Are you saying that guns are addictive?

"Just pass a law outlawing them"

goddamn, you and strawman are stupid

[RandomGuy]

Obviously the only solution to gun violence is to give up more freedoms to the very police state we may fight with our stockpiles of guns if they try to take our freedoms.

Those same police can seize your car or any amount of money, just 'cause. They can search you, well, because they feel like it.

Those guns don't seem very handy in either of these cases.

[RandomGuy]

This is a really strange case. I think there’s a lot more to it than this one guy. Have to wait to find out more.

There's not.

Not that I expect your critical thinking skills to protect you from believing something false. You have a bad track record in that regard.

Why does ducks fall for more fake news than anyone not named Chris

Conservative approach: "Let's ignore problems or work to make them worse, because evidence is for lib s and science is a librul conspiracy"
Liberal approach: "let's do something based on what the evidence says"

FIFY.

You know

I really don't. Enlighten me and then answer the larger question of intent.

[spurraider21]

Seriously ducks

Can you address why you always post fake memes. You never respond when called out

Well at least you type out the strawman memes instead of just posting the image like Chris.

Pat Robertson Just Blamed Vegas Massacre On Not Loving Trump Enough

The far-right televangelist Pat Robertson, who has blamed LGBTQ people for hurricanes, set the bar even lower today by claiming that disrespect for our flag and our president are to blame in the heinous Las Vegas mass shooting that took place at a country music concert last night.

no, he's not to be ignored, ridiculed because he's old, senile.

He's TYPIFIES evangelical Bible-induced insanity, and it's made him and all the evangelical grifters extremely wealthy.

Did you do research before posting the Facebook meme as fact? Is gun ownership required in Switzerland? Show me.

You can be a fact checker if you check facts before posting them

I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...=.9edf9c383f48

Leah Libresco is a statistician and former newswriter at FiveThirtyEight, a data journalism site. She is the author of “Arriving at Amen.”

Before I started researching gun deaths, gun-control policy used to frustrate me. I wished the National Rifle Association would stop blocking common-sense gun-control reforms such as banning assault weapons, restricting silencers, shrinking magazine sizes and all the other measures that could make guns less deadly.

Then, my colleagues and I at FiveThirtyEight spent three months analyzing all 33,000 lives ended by guns each year in the United States, and I wound up frustrated in a whole new way. We looked at what interventions might have saved those people, and the case for the policies I’d lobbied for crumbled when I examined the evidence. The best ideas left standing were narrowly tailored interventions to protect subtypes of potential victims, not broad attempts to limit the lethality of guns.

I researched the strictly tightened gun laws in Britain and Australia and concluded that they didn’t prove much about what America’s policy should be. Neither nation experienced drops in mass shootings or other gun related-crime that could be attributed to their buybacks and bans. Mass shootings were too rare in Australia for their absence after the buyback program to be clear evidence of progress. And in both Australia and Britain, the gun restrictions had an ambiguous effect on other gun-related crimes or deaths.
