    Lol

    Thought provoking? Really? Yeah, it renders the arguments for reasonable gun control completely meaningless...! Teehee.

    That example mainly provokes ridicule.

    Its the actions of crazy people with guns. The fact that his political affiliation is put in such a way that it seems the most important aspect makes this pic just as stupid.

    Why is it that people don't blame guns when cops shoot people?

    I watched it. Very simplistic solutions that can't really be implemented and won't do much.

    You say that as if people don't blame the perpetrator in a mass shooting?

    Because police are trained in gun use and legally empowered to use them to stop violence.

    Police didn't arm themselves with military style weaponry until that same weaponry became common in the commission of crimes such as the North Hollywood shootout.
    The most used side arms of the police up until the 1990's were revolvers. Six shots.

    So imagine what he would have done with an AR 15 and a bump stock.

    How do we know if they won't do much, if we haven't tried them yet? (With the exception of the metal detectors at some schools)

    He was able to inflict heavy damage because:
    -professionally trained
    -2 victims were actually Stabbed to death
    -killed 3 at close range upon initially entering the tower
    -had the "high ground" to his advantage
    -by the time law enforcement can figure out where the shots were coming from and how
    to get to him, he was able to effectively engage multiple targets for an hour and a half

    Programming children to be progressive political activists for gun-control is child abuse .
    But , hey , children are wise in another way , and there may be a surprise : they may say
    the spirit answer is no mo' war .

    What a fucking insult to children who have suffered actual abuse.

    You know, a couple months ago, they found something like 12 kids chained up by their parents around here. They were beaten and starved, and were only rescued because one kid escaped out the bedroom window and called 911.

    THAT is child abuse.

    probably a lot less

    remington 700 is accurate in the right hands above 1000 yards

    ar 15 with bump stock youd be lucky to hit a person at 100 yards

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Since we’re getting into specificity here, there’s been a great deal of talk about the AR-15 and how it was used in seven previous mass shootings, but in reality Omar Mateen (the Orlando shooter) actually used a Sig Sauer MCX to kill 49 people. Sure It’s still an AR-15-style rifle, but it’s a different manufacturer’s take on the gun.

    And ISIS recruits kill lots of people with cars and trucks. So far, none in school classrooms. I don't think anyone claims that gun control will stop mass murder, just certain forms of it.

    And he had a brain tumor. Think what he could have done with an AR15 or assault style rifle with a 30 round Magazine.

    Why is it that all your (self proclaimed) thought provoking and discussion-triggering pics and one-liners are so easily ridiculed and refuted?

    Even posting gangsta rap lyrics seem more thought provoking... :p
