I hope you’re not referrring to my post. And please don’t insult Americans. I’m being realistic based on the statistics. I did say we can try though and achieve some progress. But it’s not just going to stop and that is an obvious reality IMO. There is no candy coating here, we are beyond that. Saying that has nothing to do with being an ”AmeriCANT” and I’m finding this term very offensive.
The reality is that this is a big problem which in MANY aspects is out of the average citizen’s control. There ARE things that we can try to focus on and improve, but reality is imo we can not fully predict some nutjob loner and where he’s going to shoot and when. So often they are off the radar. Nor can we do anything to get all of these illegal guns off the street. LE is doing all they can to get the illegal guns off the street. I’ll even pull my recent quote from ISP on illegal guns and trying to get them off the street. Even if gun owners give up their guns, it’s not going to stop Joe Schmo...but if it did, many people would give up their guns.
I’ve been thinking about your question re: why is it just USA and I’ve been wanting to respond because it is a great question and point; you and I have had some good collective brainstorming discussions on profiling, etc in past shooter threads.
I really want to know what the answer is, we all do, and I am SO OPEN to hearing everything, with it of course not going into a nightmare discussion for the mods or anything that violates TOS. Respectful adult discussions, not insults. We are at the point where we are here in a new shooting thread every few days, weeks....it’s going to get worse, moo. These are based on my personal statistical projections based on stats, moo.
Human, in your opinion, how do we get rid of the guns EVEN IF WE WANT TO? You can make the dang things...I am waiting to see now if this “AR-type”and .225 is custom!
I’m all about hearing solutions and hearing all aspects. I think most of us here are. But it’s a lot easier said than done to just eliminate all the guns even if we want to. I’m realistically saying there’s a black market, etc etc, and MANY crazy people. How do we control these people? We can’t even identify/predict them before they go on their rampages.
Great post like always.
I'm not Human the poster of course.
But since the El Paso shooting LE in several jurisdictions in various states have stopped several of those planning to do mass shootings.
More, and more now people realize they must be proactive when they see any threats on the internet including the dark web, whatever that is. Or overhear them somewhere outside in public or inside their own homes or behind said family members or friends, coworkers etc.
Regular citizens are now reporting these threat plans, and LE is doing a deep dive themselves.
Most of these shooters of late couldnt keep it to themselves, and spread their intentions on the internet.
We no longer can ignore it when anyone threatens to harm anyone even if their target is only one person.
Even on FB I have often seen people threatening to kill someone over the most foolish things like just disagreeing with them. It's become surreal.
I've even reported some to FB myself, and get the ridiculous reply everytime that it didnt violate their TOS!!! WTH?? Then What DOES????
What has to drastically change too with these huge social media sites is ALL of the rules must apply to ALL.. not just conveniently targeting certain people or groups.
Imo, the answer is not to punish over 150 million law abiding gunowners because of what others are illegally willing to do, and will always do, and always have done. Jmho though.
Imo red flag laws are a good thing if we can guarantee the judicial process is fair, and happens quickly to make sure their civil rights are protected.
Imo
