Canada has strict gun laws, so someone goes out and stabs a bunch of people instead. What's the point, eh? ~

Really? So an incident like this happens in Canada, which isn’t very common, and your conclusion is that it doesn’t matter if you have strict gun laws or not?

You can’t see the correlation between all the mass shootings happening in the US and between your gun laws, but you can see a correlation between an isolated case of two stabbers and gun laws in Canada?
@BittersweetPotato My thoughts exactly

@GeistInTheMachine We are not communist; we have a capitalistic economy.

@GeistInTheMachine How is she a communist?

If they'd had a gun, they could have killed a lot more people.

A crazy person with a knife does a lot less damage than a person with a gun. The point is pretty obvious.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@deadgerbil I know, right? Fucking liberals.
easterniowegin · 51-55, M
@deadgerbil to be honest, it takes a mentality unstable person with a gun to do damage.
Right now the person who killed with the knife has killed more than I, with my guns. 🤷‍♂️
Guns kill easily and more....

Knives don't kill people, people with knives kill people.

Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people.

Nukes don't kill people, people with nukes kill people.

Are we seeing a trend here, folks?!

Ban people.

No Lives Matter.
"Guns don't kill people. People kill people." And people with guns kill more people faster. That's why soldiers have rifles not sharpened sticks.

@JessBalance I have a bayonetted flamethrower.

Take that, NRA.

One guy is dead the other one still at large. They were high on drugs. so sad.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@Lilymoon On 5th Avenue on the 6th of January and it doesn't matter one iota. 😉

TRUMP 2024 Baby! Lube up, Electoral College supreme court time!

@GeistInTheMachine what a world...

@Lilymoon Satan's Hellworld.

Gonna be ugly when the check clears.

And I suppose you will stick to that view.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@Ontheroad Yeah, people don't get that when you stab a guy, sometimes it gets stuck in his bones!

It's like, "Dude! I'm in a rush! The police will be here in five, flat, and the kiddos are scramblin'!

Guns are so much faster! It's like [i]W-O-O-S-H--[/i] [b]BLAMO!!![/b] and then brains dripping from the ceiling, still steaming from all the Adderall.

Yeah but it's harder to do at least..?

@easterniowegin one could argue violence is a part of society we will never be able to eliminate but at least we can restrict access to weapons that could cause much faster and easier a lot more harm.
easterniowegin · 51-55, M
@SW-User but that is such an ineffective and emotional response to the problem.
You don't punish an entire segment of the population for a few offenders.

Why not advocate for stricter penalties for offenders?
Or maybe we could evaluate the true root causes of the problem: poor training in respect/handling of weapons, poor mental health treatments, proper handling of bullies in the school environment, lack of enforcement of current laws by FBI/LEOs, hundreds of thousands of illegals pouring over our border, drug activity, gang activity, etc.

NONE of this ever gets addressed.

Or how about we complete an investigation with appropriate resulting discipline? Las Vegas? Uvalde?
We are too soft on crime...but want to be stricter with law-abiding citizens. It makes zero sense.

@easterniowegin I'm from Europe and do not understand why people should be in possesion of guns that are purely a mean of destruction.
We have drugs and illegal migration as well and self defense works perfectly without a gun.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
It's usually a lot harder to stab a bunch of people than shoot them. You could use a car to run people over, that has happened as well.

Gonna smack hockey pucks at each other
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
Stabbing takes more time… also you should see a stabbing coming unlike a bullet with flies way too fast to react!
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
I put a rubber on your knife's grip so when you run with all that edge you don't accidentally drop it instead of shafting it in deep. 🙂
Time to confiscate all knives 🙄
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
Life gets awful hard if you make knives illegal. They've been utility items since we've been tool users. Guns get attention because you can get rid of guns without otherwise significantly changing standards of living.

It’s terrible what’s happened but if they would have had guns it would have been far worse.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@iamonfire696 I shot a shotgun twice.

😎

I'm not gonna lie, but that makes me a certified badass in my RP soldier special boi 4chan club.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@GeistInTheMachine I shot a shot gun once, I think that’s what it was and a hand gun. No idea what they were called but my friend had them and he took me to the shooting range. That’s one of the two times I have seen real guns and I live in Canada.

@caesar7 I love retro throwbacks! Mutual Assured Destruction is making a comeback.

I miss my grandparents already...

I can hear their duck and cover stories now.

I'm doing it too, nana and papa! Don't worry, we'll all be together again too in nuclear armageddon heaven!🥺😇
