Mass shooting

[Guest Derek L]

Between bc and Derek stroking each others...weapons and stuff like this, it's hard to argue that there isn't a serious psychosexual vibe in the murder weapon enthusiast community.

Cool, never heard of the "Man Card"...........Of course, I’ve never really paid that much attention to the Bushmaster products……..always thought them to be cheaper versions of Colt and Armalite rifles………Suited more to your trailer trash and Mountain folk types on a budget….

So, if according to you, firearms garner in some males a form of “primeval macho male vibe interjected into sexual development”, as such, would that make those males that are afraid of guns “neutered in their sexual development”?

Which is exactly what they are. How dare some liberal elites deny the poor and poverty stricken their right to own firearms.

I don't think so, but this sexuality angle is always the last refuge for our liberal friends. Wouldn't explain why many women choose to own and use firearms. Protecting the right to kill millions of children with abortions on demand is what they "stroke".

Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla. What's going to be done about it? Nothing. Counting the days till the next one. Maybe they should arm every teacher. What a place.

What do you want "them" to do ? You don't have any better ideas either.

Exactly. Most of the women in my family shoot and own guns………..Were not the guns used in the shooting owned by the young mans mother after all?

Nothing? No theory? You have no way of explaining it yet?

You know the irony about your North Mexico example? It's still related to the United States, income inequality, and the American Dream.

Not to mention the gun running into Mexico from American authorities .. Fast and Furious anyone??

The NRA isn't interested. They get em young. I can remember as a kid they had adds in every comic book.

The NRA has pumped millions into firearms training and safety for lawful owners. If you have something to say about how Americans protect their constitutional rights then just speak right up.

Well of course, teaching children how to safely handle, be around and respect a firearm, like anything else really, is only prudent when there’s firearms in the house……….I don’t see any difference then with matches, a stove, weed whacker, power tools etc

It’s telling that those that raise their children covered in bubble wrap, tend to produce young adults afraid of things…….

And Firearms safety......between the NRA and Jeff Cooper, the entire "book" on firearms safety, used not only by private owners, but police and military, was written..............Funny what those that know about a subject like guns can do.

[Sleipnir]

Police in Alabama killed two suspects Saturday following separate shooting incidents 120 kilometres apart that left three other people dead and several injured, including two officers.

Authorities said Jason Letts, 38, of Jemison opened fire early Saturday morning at a hospital in Birmingham, wounding a police officer and two employees before being shot and killed by another officer.

If only police officers were armed, this could have been avoided.

Oh, I thought you were refering to preventing future massacres, not protecting your constitutional right to massacre each other. My mistake.

[bush_cheney2004]

Oh...so it is only high profile "massacres" you are interested in preventing, not the vast majority of shootings in the US or Canada.

My mistake.

[Hudson Jones]

You don't know much about the U.S., eh?

One of the reasons that the American culture is crumpling from within is that many Americans are in denial about their own problems. Their pride and stubbornness to look at themselves and criticize themselves is part of the problem.

[bush_cheney2004]

One of the reasons that the American culture is crumpling.....

Oh well...it was a great run while it lasted. How will the Canadian culture define itself after the American culture is all "crumpled" up ?

The American culture isn't crumpling - from within, or elsewhere. Not agreeing with your biased, bogus claim is not to be in denial.

Yeah, just as disgusting as those that would use little children’s deaths as an emotional vehicle to further their own stated agenda…………….

Ya that's right Derek L!

Bush had no right to further his agenda either when those people died in those Twin Towers!

Disgusting when people use someones death to further their agenda!

Last year

Great Britain: 1 per 7,830,125 people died from gun shots.

U.S: 1 per 29,044 people died from gun shots.

Britain has one of the strictest gun laws in the world, while the US has one of the most lax gun laws internationally.

In 1996 there was a school shooting in Scotland where 16 children and 1 teacher died.

The following year the UK banned all cartridge ammunition handguns,regardless of caliber.

There have been no school shootings since!

That depends on how you define "the next one"

From my understanding,you only need wait hours,if not minutes for another shoting happening in the US!

For a multiple victim shooting receiving mass media attention,6-8 months tops.

This is false.

An unborn baby,ealy in the pregnancy is reffered to as an embryo,then fetus,then baby.Not a child.

"God created man, Sam Colt made them equal."

More equal then school children?

My mistake.

No problem.

The media in the US doesn't care about the shootings that happen every several minutes,those are boring.

Their saving it up for the big ones that will get the most ratings!

Do you really care?

[TheNewTeddy]

Maybe it is.

But why is it American society, in particular, that has such a problem with this?

Why do they have so many more incidents of rampages than Canada, or Norway, or Britain?

I know we like to cherry pick the tragedies and say "see, it happens in other societies that have gun controls too" and are all pleased as if that shows gun control isn't the right answer.

Maybe it isn't.

Maybe the US truly is a demented society as compared to so many other nations that don't have to deal with these types of tragedies on such a frequent basis.

People are irresponsible. That's the core of the problem. Guns are weapons. Guns are not "Freedom". The problem is the Americans who think they are "Freedom". After all, would you leave your freedom at home? If this mindset was quashed gun control would not be needed. Irresponsible people should have their right to bear arms infringed.

Which is not to say there have been no shooting sprees since then. Or is the gun ban 'successful' because these victims of Derrick Bird in 2010 weren't children?
