A young life snuffed out. RE: EMU Alum Killed in Allen, TX Mall Shooting - Bob Wickersham - 05-09-2023 04:55 PM As long as AR-15's are legal, these events will remain tragic and utterly predictable. We all know what side of the isle is allowing these slaughters to continue.

The reason this insanity only happens here day after day after day is because people have easy access to automatic weapons of war.

When I was growing up, disputes were settled with fists. Now, they go to the car for a gun. RE: EMU Alum Killed in Allen, TX Mall Shooting - RamyEMU - 05-09-2023 09:24 PM Sad. Especially that this is becoming almost normal.

I definitely agree AR15s should be banned RE: EMU Alum Killed in Allen, TX Mall Shooting - dansplaining - 05-10-2023 06:57 AM We've tried nothing and we're all out of idea.

We all know what side of the isle is allowing these slaughters to continue. People who say that people who want to kill will be able to find a gun once they are banned are stupid and shouldn't have an opinion Why? Australians said the same thing. But Australians who want to commit mass murderer with a pistol or assault rifle can't. Why? An ar-15 here cost about $800 An ar-15 in Australia is about $32000 (both of those numbers are in USD) $1000 is a hell of a different story than $32000 Most people can spend a $1000 Most can't spend $32000 This is just from a cost perspective You literally can't commit these vile acts if guns are banned RE: EMU Alum Killed in Allen, TX Mall Shooting - RamyEMU - 05-10-2023 09:21 AM (05-10-2023 08:50 AM)dansplaining Wrote:(05-10-2023 08:23 AM)cidbearit Wrote: This happened a couple days ago...let's get rid of cars, too, while we're banning stuff: Hey, this happened in Texas too? I guess it is a big state, so higher probabliluty of such things. Regardless, both these stories, are pretty heinous. Yeesh, what a friggin world we live in… RE: EMU Alum Killed in Allen, TX Mall Shooting - RamyEMU - 05-10-2023 09:28 AM I am personally of the belief to not possess weapons. I know not everyone agrees. Truth is probably in the middle… I don’t understand what compels people to do such things. I obviously condemn theft, rape, vengeful assault/murders, etc. But what is the motivation/benefit to kill randomly? What do they get out of it?

That difference alone should end the comparison. RE: EMU Alum Killed in Allen, TX Mall Shooting - emu79 - 05-10-2023 10:38 AM I have no problem if you have a rifle for hunting or a handgun for protection. You do not need military grade weapons or an arsenal of ammo to do either. I think you should pay a yearly registration fee for each gun you own. It be a nominal fee but prove you registered the gun. Also you would have to provide proof of insurance for each gun. We do both for autos now. We could the proceeds to buy back some types of guns that I hope will be banned ie assault rifles. There should be a database on how much ammo and what type to flag authorities.

Because they worked Simple as that So, I am arguing we do what we always have Steal laws from other nations or groups of people (Example: Democrats famously champion Social Security as if it was their own, it wasn´t. It was actually a 3rd party that came up with the idea and FDR copied it. Even on the Social Security website it says FDR conceived it. Funnily enough, Roosevelt did come up with it, Teddy Roosevelt.) It obviously works We also know that other countries are way crazier than the united states Australia literally had a war against the emu bird| Germany has stricter laws than we do and they are far crazier than us They started WW2 All I am saying is your rights aren´t being taken away Your not giving up freedom Your allowing society to be a safer place at the expense of a firework launcher Seriously, if you do support gun right then you know just how important it is to use your gun safely And right now your giving your gun to any one and everyone I think that is wildly unsafe and to use your own term ¨unamerican¨ RE: EMU Alum Killed in Allen, TX Mall Shooting - Bob Wickersham - 05-10-2023 11:15 AM (05-10-2023 08:23 AM)cidbearit Wrote: This happened a couple days ago...let's get rid of cars, too, while we're banning stuff:Wow.

Ramy, it’s because you think rationally and logically which presents such acts as heinous and vile. Unfortunately there is mental illness where people do not think rationally and logically but create delusions of grandeur for vile and heinous acts. We will not ban all guns just like we can’t cure all mental illnesses. Therefore the rational and logical politicians need to come up with a plan in the middle as you say. From my perspective, I don’t think we need AR-15s and we do need better mental health care. Two low hanging fruit items that if implemented would probably lower the craziness we see here in the good ol USA |
