Suspect kills 10 at Buffalo supermarket mass shooting (this happened today May 14, 2022)

@basilfawlty89 Exactly. Laws don’t stop crime.

@MrBrownstone That is too universal a statement.

@ninalanyon But it’s true.

@MarmeeMarch if you’re not a gun lover, then why did you say this initially?


I really don’t get your point of argument then, if you now contradict yourself.

I think you just love to debate n argue…

@Darksideinthenight2 I agree. But there are such cases on both sides. Why should that deter us from seeing the monster in the room?
Every thing finally boils down to having stricter gun laws and thorough training and checks to acquire a gun. Why are we closing our eyes and saying I don’t see a solution? It’s going to cost us much less than what it’s costing us today & in the foreseeable future.

@SW-User This site needs a combined tear/laugh reaction for comments

@Elessar Like this? 😂

@SW-User yah that’s so messed up

@Graylight How has all the gun laws worked out?

@MrBrownstone What effing gun laws? I can build a shooting range in my backyard if I'm 500 ft away from a school. My state's getting ready for open carry without a license.

@Graylight Do you not know how to look up things online?

@Darksideinthenight2 Sadly, fixing the problem you identified is going to take decades to reverse the current mind-set of too many who recognize the mass killing of innocent minorities is a malignant cancer that is so resistive to efforts to try and heal. We had a president who actually asked if military could feasibly go in and shoot BLM protestors, another blatant effort to reinforce entitlement of racism and mass murder.

Tincture of time and folks not afraid to act out and speak up will eventually win this nefarious war that began so many years ago. All we can do is recognize the right thing and do what you can one way or the other.

@Darksideinthenight2 I truly feel and understand the depths of dispair you and countless others are feeling. The road ahead is nearly impossible it's really difficult to get past the barriers but please, Persevere. millions are looking up tp you for hope and the dream that eventually, this war will indeed be won even though right now it seems just beyond your grasp and seems to be a distant impossibility. Just never give up and continue doing the thing in front of you. The kids and so many others , have invested every last shred of hope in you and the others.

@Roadsterrider And we can agree on this. But to say mass shootings isn't a big deal so let's not overreact to the gun issue is a little like saying and over end car flips barely kill anyone, so let's not worry so much about seat belts.

@AthrillatheHunt I can't help what other parents tell their children, but I told my own children what I perceived to be the best information to keep them safe. I am not concerned with what other parents teach, it really isn't any of my business.

@Graylight I didn't say it wasn't a big deal, I said it isn't a concern for me, murder is a big deal. If it were up to me, when there is video or multiple wintnesses, a murderer should go to a death row express lane. I don't live in fear of a mass shooting or even getting shot. I have been in several accidents, seat belts save lives, I am one of them. The chances of me getting killed or injured in a car are far greater than being injured or killed by a firearm, the same applies to every person on the planet. But, there aren't a bunch of politicians trying to get cars outlawed even though they are a greater threat in daily life. There aren't groups who tell falsehoods about car injuries to make it look worse than it really is.

I read a study by the FBI a few years ago about repeat violent offenders, it was about what they feared during violent offenses like murder, robbery and rape. Over 90% feared encountering an armed victim. The same percentage admitted they had not pursued a potential victim because they thought they had a means of defense. Their number 1 concern wasn't getting shot by police, going back to prison, getting arrested, their number 1 fear was an armed victim. That in itself seems a good reason to me to be armed.

@TheRascallyOne You thought wrong.

@OggggO Reports are coming out that the person was only 18 there's gotta be a law against that out there

Isn’t it strange how just a few days ago this administration said that white supremacy was the greatest threat to our country, and lo and behold, we have a white guy killing a lot of black people. It’s absolutely horrific, and my heart goes out to those who lost their lives, and their loved ones, but what a coincidence. @Slade

@Carissimi Yep. Now he'll be an Epstein in jail

@Slade Thanks for the sociopath perspective on all this.

@redredred We should ban cars so no one dies from a drunk driver. Problem solved.

@MrBrownstone close the roads and subsidize alcoholics

@iamelijah I quite agree. Yet the NRA will go to the mountaintops and complain about their rights if one suggests mental health examinations of potential gun buyers.

@iamelijah it's a right so the burden of proof is NOT on the individual

@Fukfacewillie You got all the answers, why didn't you stop it?
