"Another mass shooting in 'merca"
Love you, too
I am so God damn sick of these mass shootings. This country is the fucking wild wild west and no politicians have the guts to rip out the 2nd ammendment for the rest (majority) of the population. My family are becoming increasingly prisoners in our own home because we refuse to go into any of these potential mass shooting situations. Thats right - we dont even go into the grocery stores anymore. We arent going to our fireworks display because the location is a perfect corral for a mass shooting. Why the fuck do i have to think like im back in the military to avoid being ambushed!? Back during the war on terror we would always tell people who felt like not participating in public events that the terrorists won. Today i say that the terrorsts within this country have won and those terrorists are enabled by the lack of action from our political leaders. It makes me sick and disenfranchised in the entire country. Please boycott all American made products. Todays mass shooting was in Highland Park, IL and was 2 blocks away from a location I ised to work at. Absolutely disgusted.

I totally get you. My wife is American and when we decided if we should move in Germany or the US the gun violence was one of the main reason to pick Germany and it even became worse since then. The much I love the US, and loved living there, the unlikely it is that we will live there atm - thanks to the wacko people and the corrupted political system. It really hurts to see this decline.
What's also fucking mind boggling is how much liberty and freedom we sacrificed for garbage like the Patriot Act in an effort to "protect" us.
I thought it was meant to monitor this, and help law enforcement put a stop to these people before they could act? Instead these lunatics post their hate all over social media while the pigs meant to protect us ignore it until the bullets start flying.
Amazing they managed to apprehend this shit bag alive, instead of standing around for an hour while people died.
Happy 4th of July indeed.

Yep. Kate and I are actively looking for a new country to call home. It isnt worth it living here in fear all the time. I wasted half of today glued to the news today and have lost all motivation to do much of anything (except edit previously recorded messy scenes of course).

First a parade in IL and then in PA where a couple of cops were shot and people had to evacuate in the middle of the fireworks. The only explanation I have is This is America. No amount of protesting will do anything. Politicians love that NRA money too much to do anything.

Move to Munich, Germany! One of the most livable cities in the world with breathtaking nature around it. 3 hrs to Italy by car and it's quite easy to get a work permit / blue card (European green card) as American citizen.
Coming for a very long time.
Gun lobby money, gun lobby activists and the lawmakers must come to an agreement. The Hallowed Constitution must change...
How is it possible a four old can shoot themselves with mom's loaded handgun from the family car glove compartment while she quickly shops? An off scope radical climbs an unsecured building popping off 70 AR 15 rounds, killing 6, on the fourth... Found in possession of several firearms, post mortum.
How many instances do I need to list here? Reminder to self..."The love of money, is the root of all evil."

I think that fairly large parts of the USA have not moved on intellectually since the wild West and are still, in essence, a frontier society.
To a lot of these gun nuts, life is like Gunfight at the OK Corral, or some shit 80s action flick with Chuck Norris.

The 2nd amendment needs to be ripped up and binned. It was added in the late 18th century during the war of independence, and when firearms were flintlock muskets, and it may have been appropriate for a new country establishing itself.
It is now totally inappropriate and unnecessary and is used as an excuse for crazies to arm themselves with powerful assault weapons. Why?
In Britain we have never had this gun culture at all and have only ever had about three shootings in the last 50-60 years, and after each one, our already tight gun laws were made even more restrictive.

This is why I say Guns for Greens and Arm all Atheist Antinatalist Animal Rights Vegans (AAARV) to make the gun nuts, gun extremists happy. To shove their words right back down their throats. That guns are for everybody, for everybody's cause, not just for republicunts + hunters. So they have no right to complain about Greens or AAARVs or worker unions
or abortion-rights activists or Black Lives Matter being armed with guns.
I always hedge my bets, by openly saying and defending the pro-gun-control folks,
I defend their right of free speech, and defend their right (having been born into the world
without their prior consent) to make the laws however they want,
and if that means outlawing guns, then so be it,
so that nobody can accuse me of being arrogant or close-minded to my opponent.
So, whichever way it goes: outlaw guns, rip up that stupid 2nd amendment, etc
OR arm the Greens and AAARVs and worker labor union and abortion-rights activists,
is fine with me.
That way I won't demoralize or enrage either side.

This is why the antinatalism message is so universally beneficial to ANY cause:
YOU were forced into the world, into your given country, by your breeders.
So, anyone who defends breeding, whether they themselves bred themselves,
has no right to complain about those who want to make the laws fair and society safe
at a TRIVIAL insignificant cost to the gun nuts.

The opinion I am about to present could be considered astoundingly unpopular, so please interpret it delicately.
Your government does not want you armed - an armed populace is a significant threat to state-imposed tyranny. The continued and repeated events are state-sponsored and orchestrated purely to implement gun control.
In 1996, in Tasmania Australia, a lone gunman executed over 30 innocent people in a completely inexplicable and unexplained rampage.
Despite the accused being determined to have a sub 80IQ, it was indisputably declared that he had entered an establishment and executed a dozen individuals within less than ten seconds, and flawlessly performed head-shots from an AR platform rifle, firing not with a sight alignment - but from the hip.
Imagine John Wick can't tie his shoes. But can still f**k-start 12 skulls in ten seconds from meters away.
After departing the establishment, the very same individual was claimed to have stopped a vehicle dead with three 7.62mm rounds from an FN FAL battle rifle.
Pretty impressive for a dude that struggles to wipe his own ass!
Google: Port Arthur Tasmania Australia for the complete details.
Within 6 months a virtually complete ban of all semi-automatic weapons within all Australian states was implemented, tens of thousands of firearms were surrendered and destroyed.
Strangely however, in 1998, less that 2 years later - The Lidcombe police station, of inner western Sydney, NSW, was ventilated in a fusillade of 7.62 X 39mm fire from what was later to be determined as Semi-Automatic SKS rifles.
Looks like that gun-control worked real fucken good didn't it?

So...two incidents? Back in the 90s? This is your argument? Homie we have more mass shootings in a month.
Whatever point you are trying to prove about gun control is failing.
Viscocity said: Your government does not want you armed - an armed populace is a significant threat to state-imposed tyranny.
That's a popular view among conspiracy theorists but is complete nonsense.
Your government has Apache gunships, cruise missiles, legions of troops, and nuclear warheads. If it wants to splat someone (and not in a WAM way) it can very easily do so no matter how "armed" they are. The idea that any number of assault rifles and ammo is in any way going to stop the US government from achieving an objective belongs in the same fantasy league as divining the future by examining the entrails of an albatross.

And that is one of the most dispicable and outright evil conspiracy theories ever created, and the person who did most to promulgate it has been forced to pay almost fifty million dollars in damages for the harm and distress he caused the parents of the children slaughtered in their school at Sandy Hook.

Here in the UK, back in the 80s, a man called Michael Ryan went on a gun rampage round the town of Hungerford in England, using assault-style weapons. They were entirely banned immediately afterwards and there have been no other similar shootings since. Then, in the 90s, a man aremed with handguns killed many children and their teacher at a school in Dunblane in Scotland. Handguns were entirely banned in response. There hasn't been a single school shooting, or handgun rampage, in the UK since. There have been occasional individual shootings, some criminals do still have guns - but the penalties for posession are so severe that only the most dedicated criminals take the risk, and they mostly use them on each other in gang fights, and on the rare occasions any member of the public is caught up, it creates a mass wave of revulsion and even hardened criminals will turn in others who've harmed innocents. The closest thing we've had to a "mass shooting" in the years since Dunblane was someone who drove round part of Cumbria shooting at people with a shotgun from a car. Farmers are allowed to have shotguns and no-one has suggested changing that, just tightening up the safety checks that have to be done first.
And as to overturning tyrany, the people of the countries of Eastern Europe who rose up and overthrew the tyrany of Soviet communism weren't armed and didn't do so with weapons, they did so with mass solidarity.
Saturation Hall - Forth! The Gungemaidens!
The comment of Viscocity is just so utterly ridiculous. Tell me how many people got killed in western countries by guns in the last 10-20 years compared to the US and tell me again hun-control doesn't work! Right now I'm happy to not live in the US and I don't know when I will live there again, it's just so much safer to live elsewhere.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of
a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed. This is framed for a reason, we as a country shed the tranny of the British monarchs long ago, It is the right of the common individual to keep and bare arms to defend what's there's and is also the right of the common person to raise up against a tyrannical Government as "A well armed and regulated mulita" and that's what we did. Also for those about to say , "ThEy HaD MuSkEtS" when this was written yes they did they also owned Field artillery , cannons, warships and all other manner of weapons of war, the part of "well armed" and Regulated means the owning of all types of weapons not just black powder muskets. There is documented accounts of private individuals during the civil war who had Galleon war ships as well as smaller naval vessels which helped to defend the ports from the British. Lastly banning firearms won't solve the problem, the problem lies in those who wish to do harm to others, Those individuals will commit violence any way they can. If not firearms then knives, if not knives then cars , IED's , chemicals ect. Criminals and those who dis-regard the value of human life DO NOT CARE ABOUT LAWS , for they mean NOTHING too them. All the laws in the world mean nothing too the common criminal they will get there guns, knives, and other tools for there trade anyway they can and none of it is legal. Mass shooting are awful and its terrible that we have them BUT NO COUNTRY ON THIS EARTH is without some form of violence. and that's just how it is. It Falls on US the people of the United States of America to be the change we want too see happen. History has shown us what can happen if you take away a populations ability to defend themselves against a Tyrannical government. Those who do not learn from history are DOOMED to repeat it. I will give up my guns when the common criminal does , until them I will continue exercise my RIGHT to keep and bare arms as a citizen of the United States of America.

I think you forgot the /s.
Laws are 1 component to the solution, but access is also another component that needs to be addressed. The land of the free sure doesn't feel free to my family. We don't feel safe doing just about anything in public anymore. Why? So that others can enjoy their right to carry weapons? That simply isn't a fair trade off at all.

You live in Chicago 3rd highest populated city in the US
14.1 for firearms related deaths, AND you want EVERYONE ELSE too give up THERE rights so that YOU can feel safe. GO ahead and read that again. YOU don't feel safe cause OTHER people have a right to constitutional Legal carry. I'm not sure what sounds more idiotic or down right Stupid. Your reasoning for not feeling safe or your justification for more firearms laws. Illinois has some of the strictest gun laws in the US, and yet Chicago Still has some of the highest statistics for firearm related violence. My first thoughts would be to perhaps too get the fuck out of Chicago for starters , If you feel the area is not safe why stay and be scared all the time. Firearms are already heavily regulated with back ground checks and waiting periods and tax stamps adding more will Not decrease the amount of crime. As I said before Criminals DO NOT care about laws. From the outside it seems like any old JO Shmo can walk down the the corner store and buy a gun and walk out but that's is Far from the truth. I depends HEAVILY on the state you live in. Also If you feel the USA is no longer a safe place for your family then by all means renounce your citizenship and leave no one is keeping you here. IF YOU DO don't then think you have the right to vote to change anything. I hope your, at the very least active in your community working with law enforcement to help make your area a safer place If not then I got nothing for you. YOU HAVE OPTIONS , you are just refusing too look at the real problem here. Do you blame the car when someone is run over?? Or the booze when someone is killed drunk driving , the answer is NO it falls on the person who was driving. WHY then do you insist on more gun laws?? You blame the object instead of the person using it.
build a pie pod and they will come.
News flash. This is not a chicago problem. Uvalde, TX is pretty far away from chicago. Sandy Hook, Parkland, las Vegas, etc. This is not just a chicago problem that you think is caused by gun laws here. Common conservative conspiracy theory line though. Im sick and tired of that line of thinking and much of the country is too. And we will be replacing politicians who dont do something about it.
Couples that get messy together, stick together
Yep. Kate and I are actively looking for a new country to call home. It isnt worth it living here in fear all the time. I wasted half of today glued to the news today and have lost all motivation to do much of anything (except edit previously recorded messy scenes of course).
I recommend the West Coast of Canada. Somewhere near Vancouver British Columbia.
You started this thread talking about a shooting that happened near where you use too work in Illinois hence why I gave you some suggestions about moving else where. You are correct though it is happening all over the USA. Staying inside and gluing your head into the TV is not going to help you at all though. You should be varying up what sources of main stream media you watch if you only look at one side your missing all the rest of the info. Makes sense that your so spun up about this I would be too if i was glued to the main stream propaganda networks, news flash they care only about ratings not about telling the truth. They deal in half truths and misrepresented half facts and most of them flat out tell lies. I encourage you to do your OWN research come too your OWN conclusions not just spit back what the main stream media tells you. There is always more too a story than what they say. Take what they say with a grain of salt. I do agree with you on one point there needs to be more investigation into how these individuals are getting these weapons. Not more laws restricting firearms cause clearly they are not working. There needs to be a balance more laws do nothing to stop the criminal. Come too your own conclusions , Do your own research and if you still arrive at the conclusion that all is hopeless in the USA then move to another country. I wish you well in what ever foreign land you choose too move too. Just know that where every you go not all countries have the freedoms we take for granted here in the United States of America.
build a pie pod and they will come.
Mhop you talk about doing your own research. Are you referring to the way that tobacco companies do their research against vaping? Or is it research like finding out who is writing bills for congress to pass. How much does it cost to get in the pocket of a congressman?
Most people do not know how to do their own research. There are also a good deal of people too lazy to do their research. For example, they would take the study paid for by tobacco companies under another name as fact against vaping. They would not look further into the study to find it was funded by the competition of vaping. Most people don't know that news articles are not a good source about a topic. Because those people do not think the news does wrong. They do not think that political leaning statements just happen to show up on the news that night. They do not know in hundreds of markets the same message was reported on their news too.
