Well, guns are neat, so nothing can be done.

Caught some gun nuts posting in comments for this news that police are now out of control.
Because shooting unarmed minorities in the back is acceptable but shooting a white guy standing over a dead body, holding an AR, it’s a step too far.

SolRo - 2021-07-01 Says the guy who openly hates brown people
|
Hazelnut - 2021-07-01 Oh look, an utterly shitty person says an utterly shitty thing. Congrats on being you.
|
SolRo - 2021-07-01 I’d say hating brown people is shittier but apparently you don’t think so.
|
Hazelnut - 2021-07-01 Listen to yourself, Karen

"We don't know what happened but it's safe to assume it was a split second decision by the first responders."
No, it's not safe to assume that. Good journalism, A+ effort, fair and balanced.
|
Mister Yuck - 2021-06-30 Also, glad they're calling the cops "first responders" instead of police to give them some of the shine off paramedics and firefighters.

I am confused.. Is the guys name Samaritan? Or is the news choosing to label this guy a 'Samaritan' cus he shot and killed a criminal???
viz, the good samaritan, the parable guy who cleaned and bound the wounds of an injured person and brought them to an inn and nursed them.
So in the US, *shooting someone* is now equivalent to healing and nursing someone?
|
themilkshark - 2021-07-01 There's a fantasy gun owners have about maximum gun distribution that eventually the "good guys" outnumber the "bad guys" and they're always on the lookout for confirmation that it's starting to come true.

I lack the mental gymnastics necessary to pinpoint the individual in that scenario that didn't have a gun but if they had a gun could have stopped this from happening... I guess I suck at being American. *shrug*
|
SolRo - 2021-07-01 If the gun had a gun it would have prevented all of this.

How else does anyone with half a brain think mass shootings would play out if EVERYONE had a gun? What limits casualties in mass shootings is that the shooter is the ONLY one with a gun that everyone runs away from and cops instantly know who to take down.
Near future nightmare scenario is the supreme court declaring that all gun restrictions are unconstitutional. We already saw the first steps with that "AR-15 = swiss army knife" judge in California overturning their assault weapon ban.
Just fucking imagine an America where you can't escape the insanity of Texas.
|
Crackersmack - 2021-07-01 is that what limits casualties in mass shootings? because it seems to me like mass shooters just shoot until they don't feel like it anymore and are pretty much never stopped by police, heck in cases like Parkland there were police on the scene and they actively avoided the shooter for their own safety
|
SolRo - 2021-07-01 You know what limits casualties regardless of actions of various “good guys”? Banning guns and especially war armaments sold as sport goods.
|
glasseye - 2021-07-01 Start by disarming the pigs.
|
glasseye - 2021-07-01 Because they murder more people in a single year than a decade's worth of mass shootings, and more than all school shootings in American history combined.
|
Crackersmack - 2021-07-01 yeah cops first, no fucking way to I want to live in a society where those monsters are the only armed people and everybody else is totally at their mercy, it's bad enough as it is
|
Nominal - 2021-07-05 You won't get an argument from me against banning all gun ownership.
