The American mass shooting thread

[krtek a houby]

The gun culture will be with the US for the next generation, at least

There's a South Dakota governor boasting about her 2year old granddaughter owning guns.

Can't link to it, for some reason.

The gun culture politically will only last up until those self-serving arsewipes start losing their seats in landslide elections over this issue. You'll then start to notice a surprising change of tone....

The prospect of electoral wipeout and political irrelevance for the foreseeable future can be quite the motivator ...

Yeh and that's as likely to happen as rishi sunak is to defect to sinn fein

Birthday parties seem quite a popular locale for mass shootings.

Birthday parties seem quite a popular locale for mass shootings.

It’s a depressing checklist:

Birthday Present
Card
Bottle of wine
Gun

Starting to see a pattern here this year

Stupid fucking shithead of a governor

"This morning, I grieve with the people of Dadeville and my fellow Alabamians," state governor Kay Ivey said.
"Violent crime has no place in our state, and we are staying closely updated by law enforcement as details emerge," the governor added in a statement on Twitter.
The governor is a strong supporter of second amendment rights - the right to keep and bear arms - and last year signed legislation abolishing the requirement in Alabama to get a permit to carry a concealed handgun in public.

Her candidacy for last year's governor election was endorsed by the National Rifle Association.

And most tragic of all: There have been more than 140 mass shootings in the US so far this year.

I grew up with guns and even I'm shocked by that. I started out at 9 or 10 shooting targets in the backyard with BB guns and 22 cal, supervised by my older brother. I don't think I got my first gun until I was 15 or so (A 22 cal Remington with a squirrel on the stock for my birthday). I had access before that, but only with either permission, supervision, or both.

Do you think you'd have asked for permission if you decided to go on a murdering spree ?

Sorry but I think all this stuff about training and safety is bullshit. It's what the NRA come out with. A society obsessed with guns that gives them to children is not a healthy one IMHO.

Never underestimate the utter venality and overwhelming self-importance of certain politicians.

I expect every man here over 50 and probably most under that had some sort of gun as a kid

Yes, but mine shot plastic pellets.

It's a start

Mine just fired caps so nothing was shot out of the gun but there was that lovely gunpowdery smell in the air afterwards.

I wasn’t allowed them, but that didn’t stop me from playing pretend gun battles, especially after watching a James Bond film or any of the war/action films, such as Where Eagles Dare or Guns Of Navarone that were on telly all the time back in the early 80s.

I wasn’t allowed them or to watch the A team (doubly so as it was on ITV!)

I probably shouldn't tell you what we did with the fireworks we had access to, then.

Nope, I was banned from any toy guns by my communist parents as a kid. God knows what they planned to fight their revolution with…

Mine shot pieces of potato (Spud gun) but we did stab each other with a compass at school.

I don't know what's stupider, comparing the gun situation in the US to having access to toy guns or fireworks, but they're both pretty stupid.

I don’t think they are, it’s just come up in the conversation

 

[pbsmooth]

it seemed to be a 'riposte' to my post. anyway, not really desparate to get into a gun debate just find it so disheartening and depressing.
