Active shooter thread

Gotta admit I wouldn't be upset if this NRA shindig gets lit up with open fire 

[tchookem 3900]

My position is clear that my ar15 won’t and never will kill a single person. Taking it away from me will still have the same statistics on deaths.

A f150 can kill a person as well with them texting. Let’s take away the ability to text or drive an f150 just to be safe. Same stats from me on this as well.

Mental health. This should be the focus.

Narrator: He didn't really want to do anything about mental illness either.

I literally said that you can keep yours but let’s stop selling them. That would have stopped what happened on Tuesday. I asked if you would make that compromise and you went off on a tangent about cars and drunk drivers. You care more about unfettered access to weapons than finding a real solution. Mental health is an issue in other countries yet this doesn’t happen. Why? Maybe because every swinging dick can’t buy two AR15s on his birthday… Nah that’s not it.

Sigh. How would you describe what the guns did at Robb Elementary?

[markstanco 12574]

You vote for people that continue to allow this to happen. So either you like dead kids or you’re a fucking rube. And you’re yet to answer anyone’s specific questions. I’m sure we are about to hear how you “can’t respond to everyone being mean” while you respond yo everything but direct questions.

Vote for people to allow this to happen? No, I don’t vote democrat like in Chicago and Detroit where they don’t allow this to happen.

Fucking imagine caring more about your hobby than the fact kids are routinely slaughtered by guns.  Nobody in power is even saying they want to take his hobby or guns away, just make it harder for guns to fall into the wrong hands in the future.  And somehow he feels threatened by that.
Closing loopholes, stronger background checks, and longer waiting periods are a bridge too far because he considers it an attack on his hobby.  And let's be perfectly clear, he cares way more about that than the fact that nearly two dozen kids were gunned down two days ago.  I'm so sick of these radical, extremist gun nuts.
 
 

Here’s a great bit from Scientific American….making the rather obvious point that we KNOW that certain gun laws (falling WELL short of banning guns) reduce gun violence, because we have actual data from actual states that have enacted such measures: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-science-is-clear-gun-control-saves-lives/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR1A0B4-xzEzYtH0OD6bW755h6HpnD7HCt89UpgqrkUIxnHg4-hwl814mXE&fs=e&s=cl#

Just make the effective measures the law nationwide. That’s it. I’d be THRILLED if we did even that.

[Hank Scorpio 17729]

I’m with the gun idiot. If the government wanted to take my Warhammer figurines just because it would save hundreds of children from being brutally murdered I would tell them to fuck off. I hand painted those things.

How about stopping those from getting them in the first place. Ramos was a “law abiding citizen” with no mental health red flag at least one that prevented him from obtaining those rifles. How do we stop him from getting those weapons and slaughtering 21 people. We ban the weapons.

You suggested that the illegality of owning a tactical nuke was sufficient grounds to keep you (or anyone) from owning one.

Why would a legal ban on AR-15 class weapons be any different?  Why is Mark "Law & Order" Stanco so resistant to a change in the law?

You keep saying mental health and yes, we need to do WAAAAAY more to address mental health in this country which your party hamstrings us from doing. Your saying "mental health" multiple times in this thread is an empty platitude since you're not going to change your voting pattern to actually allow mental health to be addressed. They won't even vote on background checks or red flag laws. 

Also, no one is saying you want to mass murder children or that your guns may do so but the fact of the matter is, you prioritize the ability to have those guns over taking them off the streets which would prevent mass shootings. So your personal belief system = going to the gun range > preventing mass shooting deaths.

You know what's going on here.  Just say:

"I love my guns more than anything.  Even the risk that my own children will be killed by kids pales in comparison to my love for guns.  Some other kids got killed, but I don't care that much.  I'm a smart guy and I know what statistics are.  But I love my guns and I don't care." 

That's you being honest.

This whole mental health argument is bullshit with respect to this incident anyway because the shooter had no history of mental health issues.

No documented history, but the picture being painted is one of a person who needed help long ago. I am completely in favor of everyone from the age of 8 on up having access to a therapist at least twice a month or more if the person’s situation or mindset warrants it. 
 

What he did was evil so do not think I am excusing away mass murder of the most precious members of society. We have to eventually though start taking people’s mental health seriously and give people an outlet for their pain that doesn’t end like this. This has to end and whatever legislation needs to be put forth to end it needs to get advanced yesterday. 

[Hagbard Celine 10853]

hey, stinko, how about only 1 gun a year?  in theory, only half the kids die.  can we do that?  just 1 military killing engine on the day you turn 18?  1 killing machine only?

He can’t and won’t. Those dead kids are just inevitable collateral damage so he can have those big guns locked up in his safe.

Sure it’s sad, but the guns make him feel better about his tiny little dick so the choice is easy.

that's great.  except the republicans have destroyed and waged war on the mental health system in this country since 1967.   wheels just wiped out another $200m from the state of texas mental health system.  fascists nationwide are attempting to destroy any mental health coverage by private insurance.  i posted a salon article from 2018 last night on this topic, too lazy to go find it.  and it won't matter.   the fascists have their script, and all they have to do is wait this out for a week and they'll be back on hunter's laptop and space lasers.

[Bullneck 19078]

Stanco, do us all a favor and don't go out and shoot the place up because you're pissed off and acting like a bitch.

[C-Man 27214]

Crazy. I actually have two AR15 rifles and an AR10. The AR10 is a long range rifle. All 3 guns have never, ever, jumped out of my gun safe and killed people.

Also, my grandfather was killed before I knew him. Killed by a drunk driver in 1970. I never got to fish with him, or go to a Texas game with him ( he was there which is why I am a diehard). I don’t want cars outlawed. It’s not the cars fault.

This might be your worst post on this site — and that’s saying something.

That's my point, he had no DOCUMENTED history of mental health because we have shit for healthcare in this country. We can't address that either because of republicans. 

That's why I'm asking @markstanco if republicans continue to hold us hostage with shit healthcare that keeps obvious mental health issues going undiagnosed and republicans will also continue to hold us hostage with no action around any meaningful reforms around mental health, what's the solution then?

Do you vote republican like in Jacksonville, Florida - the "murder capital of Florida"?  Since the 70's, the murder rate in Jacksonville has surpassed both that of Florida and that of the nation as a whole, and only a mere 80% of the murders in 2020 there were by firearm.

I had tears in my eyes all day. I went on a trip to dallas and back listening to it live. All I thought of was my 13 and 11 year old. People like you don’t bother me with statements like this. It amazes me there are people that do these things, and can do it nearly 20 times to 8 year old kids. My entire point has been the same. It’s not the gun, it’s the person who can kill 8 year old kids that many times. Mental health is the issue. Not a gun.

Other countries have mentality I’ll people without mass shootings.
