It’s simple - stop owning and carrying guns

@LongDistanceRecon636 So you say. Seems like you are just drowning in other people's blood.

Sorry but redemption can be had at any time.

You need to calm down. And I stand by what I wrote.

Regulate guns, there should also be a mental health test done on people who want a gun and people who already have one each year.

@SW-User no Libtard , you said that , not me. I said you’re not going to change the constitution or the 2A , not that you didn’t have a right to butt your head against it . Just like I have the right to tell you to stfu . Obviously you didn’t listen ! Hahahahaha

[quote]Fortunately the constitution tell you and your ilk to stfu and prevents us from having the civil war you seem so keen on having.[/quote]

My quote: [quote]Says the person who believes those who speak for gun control should stfu. Because according to you that’s what the constitution says. Lol[/quote]

[b] Your response to my comment[/b]

[quote] that’s right you should if you think any of your inane whines will change the fact that freedom has priority[/quote]

Pretty much implies that you believe freedom of speech is for people who share your beliefs and anyone else who disagrees shouldn't have free speech. Again you're a hypocrite. Congrats.
SW-User
@TexChik oh yeah and the constitution is not set in stone as you claim, amendments can be added, changed or taken away.

The knee-jerk reaction is always to regulate guns more strictly or to better diagnose mental health, depending on which political lines you toe, but I think this is a fire that you can't put out with just one piece of legislation. It's going to take a holistic approach to solve this

There are a lot of links between mental illness and violence, but mental illness is not a uniquely American thing. It's actually pretty common throughout the world. From Canada to Sierra Leone to Brazil to Indonesia; it's everywhere that literature on mental illness exists, which is basically everywhere.

Gun access is absolutely a game-changer when it comes to shooting deaths and gun violence, but I'm a gun owner myself and haven't thought of shooting anyone but myself. And I have at least 2 comorbid mental illnesses. Gun ownership alone does not explain why people feel the need to inflict carnage on others.

You need to also realize that suicide is one of the fastest rising causes of death in the US, and that drug overdose is also a rapidly increasing problem. Not only are people inflicting violence on others with gun crimes, but also on themselves. Something is driving us towards that violence, that dysfunction, that need to lash out and self-harm.

There's an unhappiness festering within us and rotting away our soul. There's a hole in our hearts that the government can't fill. There's a longing that our outstretched hands can never satisfy. There is no community. There is no safety net or support network. We're all so isolated and alone. There is nowhere for our pent up anger to go, no one to listen, no one to care. So it goes to dark territory like violent thoughts and substance abuse. Because those are the few places left for our pain to go.

Here's a talk I listened to recently that offers insight on this:

@Abrienda You called me anti-gun. I was setting the record straight. It's not a conspiracy for people to defend their credibility when faced with false accusations

Can you find a quote where Stark says he's for gun confiscation? Just one? Take your time. I'll wait

And still not a single answer to one of my questions. You're a child imitating an adult. But please, continue posting. You're only showing how weak your argument is by not being able to support it
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@1455spd Yes, yes, yes of course ... before I implied but will now say I think you are lying when you say you are a gun owner, trying to obscure the fact you used the "holistic approach" of an anti-gun activist as an argument.

I know it is important for insecure men when called out and bested by a woman here to have the last word so please feel free to reply (and prove my point) without being ridiculed by me as you deserve as I really have more important things to do now...like dusting the furniture again.

Enjoy target practice this weekend with your TWO guns!

@NeloAngelo the right to [b]bear[/b] arms is also one that the military has sworn to uphold . You blindly believe soldiers are going to fire on their own families because a tyrant ordered it ?
NeloAngelo · 26-30, M
@TexChik most likely not. I'd hope the military would oppose such a tyrant. I'd rather the trained army have the weapons not us.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@NeloAngelo Like the Afghans did in their country against the Soviet army? Oh, sorry, they won that one.
NeloAngelo · 26-30, M
There isnt. America will likely never change. It's an endless loop.

Shooting occurs
- people bring up gun control
- people throw a hissy fit over 2nd amendment
- situation dies down
- rinse and repeat.
NeloAngelo · 26-30, M
@TexChik if somebody actually has there own personal Anti missile artillery ill concede your whole point.
TexChik · F
@NeloAngelo shoulder fired missiles allowed Afghanistan to repel the Russian army . Doubtful tyranny would last that long here . You assume all states would be complicit...most of the tanks , nukes, as well as aircraft manufacturers are in Texas .

cant be stopped, here in canada we are running around in fear for our lives because we are not allowed to have guns OR bullet proof vests, both of which the most notorious gangs have (not to mention fetal alcohol syndrome)

the only way to end gun violence is to execute those who contribute nothing, like savages.. or prevent them from being born to their single mothers in the first place .. which makes us misogynists for implying a woman cannot do both their job and the job of their childs father yet still need baby checks from the taxpayers to do so.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@xSharp Brilliant!
ChatterinSeuss · 61-69, M
Saying that guns kill people is like saying spoons make you fat !!
SW-User
Cars kill people, cigarettes kill people, and pharmecutical drugs kill people, guns yes they do kill but you know what makes guns different to the rest? They have a safety switch.@ChatterinSeuss

Good people need to stand up and take care of those who can't. There are way more good than there are criminal. You don't have to use a gun but if more responsible people were carrying a weapon. Criminals would think twice about committing. Less guns= uneven playing field.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@Cassandra1 It is validating which is why it is a factual statistic one will never hear on the Communist News Network...oh sorry CNN.
Cassandra1 · 36-40, T
@Abrienda no need to apologize lol
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@Cassandra1 Well, gee...you know...just kinda slipped out.
adhane05 · 31-35, M
End the drug war would be a great start.
adhane05 · 31-35, M
@Abrienda I was speaking to the LongDistance guy, he typed "Unmake" in quotes and I'm not sure what he was referencing.

It's kind of funny how I always taught, "Say no to drugs" coming from a public school and it wasn't that long ago.
adhane05 · 31-35, M
@ChatterinSeuss You're probably right, but it is something I believe in even if it's impossible to take appropriate action to end the drug war.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@adhane05 Thanks for the clarification!!!
Cassandra1 · 36-40, T
Everyone acts like mass killings are just a USA thing it's a world issue

Sophia1978 · 41-45, F
@TexChik There have been 154 mass shootings in the US so far in 2018. That's only 2018. Check your facts. Trump out numbers Pres. Obamas already in less than 2 years. Sad fact
Cassandra1 · 36-40, T
@Sophia1978 yeah there should more people with guns so that mass shooter think twice about a gun free zone.
xixgun · M
[i]You cannot do anything effectively to thwart this other than to have armed protective services on site.
[/i]
Absolutely nothing else will work. If someone gets it in their moss covered noggin to harm others, they will find a way.

Remember, Cain killed Abel with a rock.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
Hey Marine Bob,I've met some Brits I'd be happy to kil with my bare hands!

1. Gun control.
2. Understanding what causes such rage, especially in the youth and how to address it. Clearly, something is going wrong somewhere if a young person feels the only answer to their problem is taking a gun and shooting his/her peers at school.
TexChik · F
@SW-User shooting kids in school is already against the law . Infringement of our right to suit those that don’t value them isn’t going to work . Schools having a trained , armed group of teachers , with hardened access points is the only way to protect our kids . After the Florida shooting it’s clear law enforcement can’t be the sole source of protection. These shooters are cowards and don’t want to be caught and choose to shoot children because they weak and unprotected in schools . If they know that they will meet armed resistance and be killed as quickly as possible by a group of armed teachers ... they won’t bother the kids anymore

@SW-User A tiny, fraction of gun deaths are school shootings. Kids aren't the problem. Guns and bullets are the problem.

@LongDistanceRecon636 That's an old, tired, disproven argument.
You can't stop it if crazy people desire to kill they will do it reguardless it's human nature humans have been killing each other since the beginning of time
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@LongDistanceRecon636 I don't respond to men who cannot talk to me without filth pouring out of their mouth ...but will probably make an exception in your sad case if you force me to.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@LongDistanceRecon636 Ummm including my salutes to the US military?

Okay you were warned.

Listen video warrior...you are no more a real solider than the plastic green soldiers you can buy in cheap toy store. If you WERE...and I have known real ones in Israel, not boys like you with Playstation combat experience. You would never BOAST of the amount of suffering you say you have seen...they never brag or boast but honor is silence. Instead you trade on their bravery and sacrifice to make yourself interesting to yourself.

I do believe you are an expert in narcissism, however - STOLEN VALOUR is the ultimate in narcissism. Your fake bravado and filthy language is what you THINK real soldiers are all about - or sound like based on your experience of war playing video games in your bedroom of your parent's house.

You sicken me and anyone who has grown up around REAL soldiers and REAL men but you must sicken even more those here who have served. You are no more soldier than you are a man.

Grow up...and maybe actually DO what you FALSELY CLAIM you have done before you run your scam in front of some REAL "jar heads" as you call yourself who then kick your lying sissy ass back to mommy and daddy's house.

And finally -

Putatis quia et locor vobis et non intellegere Latinam est... nolite menetiri et capitonem merdosum.

@LongDistanceRecon363 I never said I did. That's not now the issue which is that it is clear to anyone who ever knew or knows anyone in any army that you don't either...cause you are a fake. Now go play your video games and stop stealing other men's bravery for yourself.
SW-User
I don't know. I don't have an answer. One thing's for sure: people seem to have more nihilistic views on life now. They think the solution to their problems is to kill a bunch of people. So we need to stop making people think killing people is a solution to their problems. How we should that, I don't know. Changing hearts and minds is a lot more difficult than putting a band-aid on a problem that will soon fall off.

@LongDistanceRecon636 Odd how none of these "sick" individuals are rational enough to not try a mass shooting at a gun show.
