BREAKING NEWS: disgruntled employee just killed eleven (11) co-workers in Virginia Beach

Has it ever been argued otherwise, either by myself or anyone else present, that firearm-related restrictions do not have racist origins? It is blatantly obvious to everyone, except for the black individuals who actually support such firearm-related restrictions, simply because they are told to support them. These racist origins of firearm-related restrictions existed back after the end of the civil war, when legal firearm ownership was simply priced out of reach of freed black individuals.

 

There are instances of an abusive boss from hell and unendurable employment situations.

Don't shoot, leave. Just leave. No matter how difficult your life is after leaving, it beats living in the prison house or being dead.

Don't shoot, leave. Yeah, you're letting the boss win, but you are better off and the boss can't touch you no more. Don't shoot, leave and go some considerable distance and eventually forget what was.

Like Gene Allison said, you can make it if you try.

 

Well you're in luck. The shooter was a black man with a legally registered pistol. I guess he should be your hero for defying the white racism that tried to prevent him from owning a gun, but he persisted.

Civil Rights hero.

 

were are talking about killing multiple targets, you think the guy shooting from his hotel window would of killed as many people with regular old riffle

 

those attachments shoudl be harder to get imo, same as the assault riffles and machine guns, but until we see them used in many mass shootings I doubt they would be considered a problem

 

we do what we can, where we can - do you support making machine guns harder to get? then why not assault rifles?

I am not saying you can't get, just that they should be harder, like machine guns

 

Disarmed Human Targets = Killing Zones.

 

When guns are banned only criminals will have guns. Gun control schemes and gun bans encourage crime and do not disarm criminals

"Assault rifles and machine guns are being seized at an alarming rate. Photo: Penny Stephens
The Soviet-era assault rifle is the weapon of choice for Third World armies and terrorists, but this one was destined for the streets of Melbourne.

The notion that a military-grade weapon could be in the hands of local criminals is shocking, but police have already seized at least five machine guns and assault rifles in the past 18 months. The AK-47 was not among them.

Only a fortnight ago, law enforcement authorities announced they were hunting another seven assault rifles recently smuggled into the country. Weapons from the shipment have been used in armed robberies and drive-by shootings.

These are just a handful of the thousands of illicit guns fuelling a wave of violent crime in the world’s most liveable city."

I don't think so. The amount of stress over there is much less then here in U.S. I am not talking about material assets.
Here you are the target, you are the target of judicial system, health cares system, street crime etc. There are a lot bans as well, you can get in jail for no reason.
You have to think too hard to avoid those mishaps.

 

Yep, if you are not in jail.

 

I'm curious. Which country could you go to that would make you feel better?

 

Don’t break the ****ing law, and you won’t be.

 

I was recently in Tahiti, and you’re right, there is NO stress there at all, and that is with almost half the Tahitians habitually unemployed. And why work? With barter system, nature provides them with everything they need!

Go to Tahiti my friend, you’d love it

 

The best way to answer that is to simply point out that the people who commit these massacres in the USA are not 'criminals' in the sense you use that word. They are ordinary joe blows.

 

Like a simple Ruger mini-14?

 

You have remarkable hearing but it's not as good as your imagination.

 

Bad guys still manage to get guns into Australia. They are here in great numbers at Police Stations, Military Bases and I am sure at the homes of criminals. We still don't have people slaughered here en masse.

 

You do what was done in Australia. Ban all guns and prosecute the crap out of anyone who is found with one.

 

Not at all. As good law abiding citizens, if the 2nd Amendment went, people would hand theirweapons in for destructions as happened here.

 

Only a few. You underestimate the influence of our gun culture. My state is a perfect example. WA passed a slew of new gun control laws six months ago. Since then, a majority of the Counties Sherriffs across the state have publicly stated a refusal to enforce those laws. And since the Sherriffs are locally elected (and can thus only be fired by being voted out) and constitutionally authorized as the 'chief law enforcement officer' within their respective jurisdictions, those new gun laws are effectively dead in most of the state. They will only be enforced in the Seattle metro area, the only place they were ever popular to begin with. We have essentially instituted what are being called '2A Sanctuary Cities' instead of submitting.

At least one Sherriff has vowed to resist attempts at enforcement within his jurisdiction by outside agencies (be they state or fed) with a posse of deputized and armed civilian volunteers, of which he already has 120 registered, trained and operating alongside his department.

I doubt very much he's the only Sherriff that would do this.

Gun ban/confiscation will lead to civil war in this country.

 

No Rule of Law in Washington ey.

 

We are a republic, not a democracy. We're following the constitution(s) instead of mob rule.
The constitution is the Rule of Law.

 

Is there no Rule of Law in Washington?

 

The constitution is the Rule of Law.

 

It is NOT you know. Look it up.
