The American mass shooting thread

[Humberto]

Republicans on the committee echoed the executives’ argument, accusing Democrats of demonizing gun manufacturers while promoting “soft on crime” policies.

“It’s absolutely disgusting to me and unthinkable, the height of irresponsibility and lack of accountability,” said Jody Hice, a Republican of Georgia. “My colleagues seem to forget that the American people have a right to own guns.”

At one point, two committee members got into a heated exchange, as the Republican Clay Higgins accused Democrats of leaving average Americans more vulnerable to gun violence by pushing restrictions to firearm access.

Higgins argued that law-abiding Americans would be more likely to get injured in a shooting if they were not armed as well, saying, “My colleagues in the Democratic party, when those gun fights happen, that blood will be on your hands.”

The Democrat Gerry Connolly fiercely rejected that charge, telling Higgins, “We will not be threatened with violence and bloodshed because we want reasonable gun control.”

Seems to be working out up until now, eh.

Apprantly buying your child a ballistic plate for their back pack is sensible.
If only libs would arm teacher and make gun free zones go away any mass shooter would get shot quickly.
Rather than what the rest of the world does which is not lett nutters have guns unless they join the infantry.

You don't need a ballistic plate when you can now buy bulletproof backpacks.

Well I had to go check what is going on here because oh my god.


It’s not to own the libs. It’s to take the piss out of trigger discipline.

Which is, of course, far more logical and sensible.

Here’s Why Men Are Pointing Loaded Guns at Their Crotches

Internal fighting among gun owners has led to one of the dumbest memes of all time.

www.vice.com

But pointing a gun at your penis has nothing to do with owning the libs and everything to do with ironically mocking basic safety in gun culture. The trend is about a year old and it was born in the fires of Facebook’s gun groups. On one side are responsible gun owners, on the other is a group of men aiming a deadly weapon at their dicks to prove a point that they can only vaguely explain.

Pointing a loaded weapon at your dick is a shibboleth for the gun community. It’s a way for a self-perceived elite class of gun poster to separate themselves from the herd of their own community. It separates the edgelords from normal internet users, the fudds from the normies. But, as always, the irony is just a mask.
When you ironically point a gun at your dick, you’re still pointing a gun at your dick.

True, but they don't like loud noises.

what they ought to do is equip pupils with claymore mines, which can then be quickly erected and would in a live shooter scenario a) deter or b) disable or kill anyone roaming schools with a firearm

I gleefully await the day when one of those inbred, slack-jawed fuckwits manages to shoot themselves in the genitals and ascend to self-inflicted eunuch-hood.

It will happen, sooner or later.

Well the REAL men should be doing that to show that they're not cheating and just pointing an unloaded gun and pretending to be REAL men.

 

[Raheem]

If we don't see exploded genitals at a reasonable rate, I think it will be fair to assume that the snowflakes are in fact taking appropriate safety precautions.

That would qualify them for a rare honour - the Living Darwin Award.
