    That literally says "posted 4 minutes ago"

    ...

    That would have been posted after the shooting and arrest....

    There are tons of fake social media accounts springing up to push false narratives. And it sure seems a certain segment of the population can't get enough....

    Meaning that if it was my kids grandkids or relatives getting murdered I would support some completely ineffectual grandstanding gun laws to make Joe Biden look like a hero? And then scratch my head when they don't work? Anyway multicolored hair facial tattoos completely f****** insane sounds like your generation. Or your kids. By the way how many people were gunned down in the inner city over that weekend?

    WSS 

    Oh Jesus and here we go with the "well what about the inner city". Sure man, let's try to fix that too! (Though you and people like you would never even budge on admitting the additional underlying issues). But if we can make it harder to get guns,black or white, whatever, then great!

    And obviously I don't want anything that's ineffective. But the pro gun group would love that. Approve a few half ass measures, they obviously fail, and then that group can flail about how the only solution is more guns. As asinine as that is. 

    "My generation". Ok... Then my solution to it, one most of my generation, and most of the country in general, agrees with us actually doing fucking anything to address gun violence. How many fucking times do we have to go through this? 

    And say that as much as you want the kid has more than one photo floating around of him liking Trump stuff. Which, again, really doesn't matter, but when half of this board wants to rush in here and jerk each other off cuz he looks weird and must be a liberal... well they've clearly ignored a good number of mass shootings.... But duh, of course they have. 

    But yes, conservatives don't give two shits about anything that doesn't affect then directly. The only way they'll support gun reform is if they or a loved one become a victim of gun violence. How fucking tragic.

    Well let's see who's the guy that bitches the most about generation versus generation; let me check. Hey it's you!

    And the typical Woody well that's bad too when somebody mentions the real problem.

    And speaking of usual responses first you Screech that the kid has some facetious Trump photographs out there among his rap videos Etc and then Screech that it doesn't matter. Pick one. You think this guy is a trump supporter or not? There's also antifa s*** which would sound more likely.

    Finally although I don't consider myself that much of a conservative I certainly do not give two s****, not even one about things that don't affect me but more importantly can't be solved. Yes a tiny percentage of murders are mass murders. And a tiny percent of those are with scary looking guns. Your solution? Make the scary looking guns illegal. Will it make a change? Nope. Will it make you idiot liberals seem like big shots and you can dance around a maple smelling each other's farts for saving the world? That's the idea.

    But I'm fine with gun registration I'm fine with background checks I'm fine with tightening up gun show sales I'm fine with just about everyone of the completely ineffectual Solutions you idiots have proposed that are meant not to solve the problem but just to piss off the people you don't like. Example how many people have been killed in shootings that employ the use of a bump stock? But hey what a step forward in the societal evolution. They are now against the law. Meaning that mass murderers will hesitate to use something because it's illegal?

    And if you were as smart as you boast about being you could go back case by case and see that this rubbish wouldn't have even made a scratch in the problem.

    Yes Woodrow there are random lunatics and no you can't really predict them or stop them.

    Biden signs bipartisan gun measure negotiated by Sen. John Cornyn after Uvalde shooting

    The new law contains modest provisions but is the most significant gun measure passed by Congress in nearly three decades.

    https://www.texastribune.org/2022/06/25/biden-gun-bill-uvalde/

    Did it work?

  • Extreme Risk law or "Red Flag" law in place. 

    The rapper released a cryptic track called "Are You Awake" on Oct. 15, 2021. The track appears to suggest that Crimo was planning a life-defining act beyond his ability to stop. The video includes drawings of a man aiming a rifle at another person.

    The video also includes an image of a newspaper clipping about Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated President John F. Kennedy, and another image of a victim shot with blood spraying from the body.

    So what's your solution? We can't get every nut job that slips through the cracks. All I hear  from both sides is how we need stricter gun laws, and the other side says the gun laws are stupid and violate the 2nd amendment.

    ^ and this is exactly the goal of the right and the gun lobby...

    The gun laws we have now are weak and easy to get around. The past new "reform" we put through was nothing. Chicago has "the strictest gun laws in the country" (not true) is the right's big battle cry, when you can just easily drive somewhere else and get what you want. 

    Having ineffective gun laws allowed those that are pro gun to point at them and say "see! they don't work! no point in trying any more!"

    It's a damn obvious cycle and it's one they either knowingly mislead on or their supporters are too stupid to see the poor logic

  • And again, no good answers to why this isn't an issue in other countries. Those countries have rap, video games, social media, youth, etc. This is just a problem for us. 

    But admitting that would mean not jerking yourself off over American exceptionalism so we'll never get anywhere. More important for some people to be "real American patriots" than to try and reduce the amount their fellow Americans get killed by guns 

    Fucking. Pathetic.

    yes, you are, woodpecker.

    the solution is to red flag mental illness in young people who have, across the board, dramatically, shown that

    they are loners, anti-social, trouble with the law, etc etc etc etc.

    Yet, they are coddled, protected, ignored, let off with no consequences, not reported to a legit risk/red flag system.

        this kid had serious behavior problems.

    He could have driven a car and killed 7 people. His social media behavior alone should have gotten the attention to get him counseling, etc.

        Major problem in schools - pot - thc is causing psychosis in some young people.

    Your leftwing subculture - you got your legal pot - especially the farce "medical pot".

    Part of the problem is....you.

    Part of the problem is social media fame - brings out the violence in some young people who are dangerously screwed up. Pot doesn't help, it worsens it.
