Creep travels half the world to harass online teen gamer… and gets shot by her mom – cops

Not a mass shooting, but involved guns in America. When your told my somebodies Mum in the US they have a gun and will shoot you, its probably best to believe them.

We are going to hear about this for ages. As justification for no gun control ever. Decent locks and doors would have the same effect though. Guns are cheaper though.

Now I don't have a problem with this at all - it sounds like a warning was given, a warning was ignored and the break-in continued . . . for a bit . . . then the break-in attempt stopped

God yeah. I've no sympathy for him. What I find amazing is that you would ignore a warning like that it in such a heavily armed country!

Multiple fatalities reported in Florida mass shooting

Sounds awful from initial reports

 

[editor]

There seems to have been a pretty awful video clip from the scene that's now been taken down.

 

[not-bono-ever]

time to dig out the do something / thoughts and prayers memes again

fuckin hell. is there no end to this ?

 

[Ax^]

more guns would of sort it all out...

 

[Badgers]

Read that there are 4 fatalities and 11 people in hospital

 

[not-bono-ever]

vid is on youtube and already being commented on.

 

[Ax^]

*ponders*

How are the NRA going to blame Video games for this shooting

 

[High Voltage]

On the plus side there's been over a month since the last mass shooting has been commented on, on this thread

Yet somehow the last one in the UK was in 1996 <shrugs> it's bewildering

And once again for the record I'm pro gun ownership and pro gun control

 

[a_chap]

Time to roll out the "thoughts and prayers" machine again

 

[Ax^]

you think you could carry a gun in your car in that state... or maybe open carry

Not to nitpick, but you have forgotten the Cumbria murders of 2010.

 

[D'wards]

Jesus, this Florida shooting was literally the worst case of "rage quitting" ever. Dude lost in the tournament so lost his temper and shot everyone .
Wonder what the NRA will say about that

 

[Opera Buffa]

That he was playing a violent videogame before the attack.

Fair point. The list I was looking at on Wikipedia was a list of mass killings in the UK which included terrorist attacks as well and I missed the Cumbria attack

 

[D'wards]

That he was playing a violent videogame before the attack.

It was an American Football game

you probably can't eliminate mass shootings but getting them down to every decade is probably the best you can hope for.
if america got it down to once a year that would be pretty good going

one a week would be an improvement

The shooter was afflicted by the white rich and comfortable boy from a gated community in Baltimore who lost his shit when he couldn't have everything he wanted syndrome.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Worldwide gun deaths reach 250,000 yearly; US ranks high

Interesting stuff - not sure how combat / conflict can be fully filtered out but there you go

 

[Yossarian]

Same shit they always say: "A good guy with a gun could have stopped it sooner."

 

[Ax^]

Well their statement was end gun free zones as this just cause shooters to flock to these place

Basically more guns would of sorted it

perhaps all the people who fancy doing a mass shooting could meet up in the back of beyond once a year and shoot each other

 

[Badgers]

Not sure about the source here but interesting to note.

Now if you a pro gun nut you will see the Used Anti-psychotics is more to blame for him
shooting 2 people that the fact he was using a Handgun
