Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

[HGCC]

Where I grew up they did that thing of canceling school when deer season started, always seemed weird to me. Hunting is just pretty damn boring to me, to each their own.

I wish there was some good data around new republican voters that trump attracted vs those that were pushed out. We have a number of people here who say they were lifetime Republicans but couldn't stomach the trump turn. That is sort of mirrored in a lot of people I know, at least 10-20 percent just noped out and stayed home. Overall though, the Republicans didn't have a drop, so I am curious what that breakdown is.

this is the best republicans can come up with...the best thing i can say in Walker's defense is i'd rather deal with him than any member of the freedumb caucus...Herchel is just a stupid fucker, they're all educated, which makes them not ignorant and easily manipulated like Hershel, it makes them fucking evil...they DO know better, they just fucking don't give a shit if kids get shot, as long as they can keep their voter base happy

I can't wait for their debate! This is the Georgia state IQ test, not Herschel's...
Let's see, a choice for the good ole boys of a sane-------------- vs a crazy------------.
I can hear the chatter in the local rural diners now....

Nothing like a crazy black man to get those Trump voters off their couches and to the polls, he looks like a real motivater to me for team red.

Herschel Walker's Chances of Beating Raphael Warnock, According to Polls

The Trump-backed Republican appears to be polling narrowly ahead of the Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock in Georgia.

I wonder how it will work out for the GOP in Georgia, Donald will want revenge on Kemp and the state republicans, so I figure he will tell his base to stay home. Since everybody is on the same ballot, Herschel might get thrown under the bus along with Kemp.

But hey, Herschel leads Warnock in the polls, so what Herschel says make sense to a majority of Georgians! I mean to the vast majority of White voters in Georgia, what Herschel says makes perfect sense and he is right! I'm sure they understand him perfectly, it's the libertards that have the problem, why he's a good Christian man!

Did I miss something?

I guess you just go by red state vs blue state moving forward, because people who vote for republicans support this shit or keeping it the same way, or making it worse. The average GOP political ad looks like a firearms TV ad, the base obviously loves it and they get elected. Gun culture was always the strongest in the south and it was and is a symbol of white supremacy.

I read an article years back about a journalist who toured the south and he described one place he saw and was perhaps making some generalizations, he was more focused on attitudes. However I've noticed gun culture pervades every state in the union these days and America has changed quite a bit in this regard in the past 50 years. Back in the 70's gun ownership rates in Canada and America were similar.

I used to hunt as a young man and we always had firearms in the house, but when dad passed away the weapons were turned over to the police for disposal. People still hunt, but it's popularity has waned, my buddy was a forest ranger and used to give the hunting safety course and he told be back then that every year the number of people applying for hunting licenses was falling. I live on the edge of a small town in a pretty rural place and the popularity of hunting has diminished over the years as more people become urbanized and lose their connection to the land.

The kids don’t want to get up early and walk lol.

Polls aren't shows and I haven't had a landline since 2000..When I did have a landline no one ever called to poll.

No one wants to back a loser psychologically and they're telling you what to think..that's why..again, polls aren't shows + we're dealing with known liars- the GOP.

Especially the walking part..attach their phone to a stick attached to them. Carrot/stick.

It's not a problem in the states that kids don't hunt, they are hunted on the streets and in the schools, so it keeps em on their toes! Make it a part of PE class and hold completions of them kids dodging paint balls, it could replace football and would be a useful survival skill. Ya gotta adapt to circumstances ya can't change I say...

You get off on America's tragedies. Sick

No, but I do laugh at stupidity and point out some hypocrisy and logical inconsistencies. If you don't want to regulate guns, then teaching kids survival skills could be useful. I mean if you are gonna imprison them and fuck up their lives because fools want to own guns with no restrictions.

They could have volunteer kids with safety glasses and red paintballs in a mock classroom and a shooter suddenly breaks in with an AR15 and starts shooting. It's a game of survivor, and could be shown on TV like high school football and would have millions of fans! You folks love it and want it and will fight to the death for it, so if other people laugh at you for murdering your own kids, it's just to save ourselves from crying at the fucking stupidity and tragedy, that fear, bigoty and hatred have brought you.

However I am eager for some solutions to the problem, any suggestions? Or is there even a problem?

Not even sanity is an issue for republicans, what does it say?

If you weren't so eager to write essay long posts, almost giddy like posts, you might have absorbed some of my posts.

I did a search of Gabriel Wortman and you have maybe 2 posts over that massacre which happened in your own backyard April 18/19 2020
22 ppl killed .
Yeah, you love American tragedies.

America's real tragedies are the mostly republican politicians who refuse to do anything about the easiest part of the problem to deal with...

there have been about a dozen mass killings in Canada since the 1970s, and half of them didn't involve the use of guns...
there have been over 200 shootings involving 2 or more victims in the U.S. this year alone...and we're not even half way done with the year....https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting?page=4&sort=asc&order=Incident Date

i can understand how people from other countries look at us and have to laugh, have to grasp the absurdity, which is one of the few ways to be able to process our monumental stupidity and remain sane...
get guns off the streets, make them impossible for mentally unstable people or violent offenders to ever get, get some funding for mental health issues, especially in low income areas...it's fucking simple, what is complicated is why republicans are so dead set against sane gun laws

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

Ok.I've already stated there's a problem.

What's that got to do with Diy being a sick fuck?

What kind of guns do you own Roger?

i own 3 pistols, a carbine, and a shotgun...none of them have ever been pointed at another person, and i lock them up when they're not in use, the pistols in a safe with a fingerprint scanner, the long arms with trigger locks with fingerprint scanners....
they aren't registered, but i tried. since i bought them all at gun shows, there is no way here to register them....which is stupid.
those shows themselves need to be stopped, or the private people selling the guns should have the same requirements as dealers do, i would have no problems with waiting a day or two for a background check to go through

Just curious about the pistols? What is the reason for purchasing them? Honestly I think it would be rather fun to target shoot with them but I’m ok with the laws here being extremely restrictive as I honestly think that is one of the main reasons we are so different when it comes to gun culture.

Many years ago I bought a rifle at a gun show in PA. It seemed all too easy to me.

I agree with you on the mental illness but i dont think it's that simple to fix. That's why I believe some would rather just ban all the black guns ( which sounds easier) than unraveling the US mental health issue which is going to take years. I'm a believer that our homeless issue derives from mental illness masked by drugs. Self medication in other words.
My point about DIY is he's a member of the RIU community and is being insensitive asf. And I'd rather call him out on it, than put him on ignore.

Absolutely agree. Private sales should end or at least be known about throughout the National database or however they keep track of guns. I could go buy a gun right now, no background check. I might have to show the seller a in state id ( just to show my residency, no other info)but other than that, nothing.

Silencers are legal in my state, for a specific gun and only that gun, with a extensive background check and $1000. Maybe that needs to happen with Ars and similiar guns.

Fuck Trump and his entire family -

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1530566918435794944

Trump spoke at the event, which was held in Houston, just three days after 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School. During his speech, the former president read out the names of all 21 victims, while mispronouncing some. Trump ended his talk, as he has done at numerous rallies in the past, by dancing.

This final act drew significant ire from online pundits and the public, who viewed it as extremely disrespectful to the deceased victims. There had also been calls for politicians to cancel planned appearances at the conference in the wake of the shooting, with the state's Republican Governor Greg Abbott ultimately doing so.
