America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?

I assume he was referring to Warhammer 40k Orks, the most successful species in the whole galaxy, outnumbering possibly every other intelligent race, even Mankind (with the very plausible exception of the Tyranids).

[Jorge]

Yeah, that's the ticket

[BurtReynolds]

Despite their warlike nature, they are actually very anti-assault rifle.

[Green Habit]

i would love to see if there are any generational demographic divides on issues like gun control. there are urban/rural divides, but the US political system disproportionatley empowers rural areas, which is not likely to ever change

Holy fucking shit i am livid right now. This is my cousin:

I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face...and a concealed handgun and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won't shoot you. My gun won't pull it's own trigger. It is securely holstered with the trigger covered. It can't just go off. However, rest assured that if a lunatic walks into the grocery store and pulls out a rifle, I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family and therefore protect you and your family. I may get shot before I can pull the trigger...but, I won't die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life or my child's life. No, if I die it will be in a pile of spent shell casings. I won't be that victim. I choose not to be. As for you, I don't ask you to carry a gun. If you are not comfortable, then please don't. But I would like to keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim. There is evil in the world and if evil has a gun, I want one too...

I am guessing this is a cut and paste job from some right wing conservative religious bullshit but holy fuck. Did he just refer to al lthe survivors and heroes who saved lives and the victims as blubbering heaps on the floor?

Sandy Hook is different because it was the result mental illness, not mal-intent. It can be dismissed as such by those prejudiced in favor of assault weapons.

I actually think this incident could be used to enact long overdue gun control. Look, we are not going to stop Islamic terrorism. We are not. There are simply too many of them. Even if only 0.1% of the Muslim population supported Salafist/Wahhabism/etc., we are still talking nearly 2 million people. The largest army ever created. Trump's bullshit "pause in immigration" will do nothing but stop innocent Muslim families from all over the world from getting the help we have a moral obligation to provide them. And the left is, as usual, far worse by executing Cirque Du Soleil level twisting of logic to pretend that the problem of modern terrorism isn't metastasized by elements of this religion because Patriarchy or anti-Colonialism or stopping the evil of 'white men saving brown women from brown men' (I wonder just how much oppression has Michel Foucault has unleashed on this planet). But back to guns. If we accept that we cannot stop these events from happening, then we must mitigate their effects and the best way to do that, since it is apparent no social/cultural solution is acceptable to all sides, is to ban high powered and even semi-automatic weapons and their ammunition from sale to the public. Yes, millions of the weapons will still exist, but by eliminating their commercial availability and through smart buy-back and destruction policies, we can reduce turn a 50 person massacre into a 5 person massacre. Which is not 0, but still a fuckload better than what we have today.

What these douchebag fucksticks don't seem to get is that they can only be REactive. The only way these gun-nut NRA psychos can "save lives" is after someone else already pulls a gun. Safety by guns is not a PROactive solution. It never has been.

Classic dime.

All ive seen is that he was probably casing the joint, not that he was gay.

So, he'd been casing gay clubs for 10 years?

Seems like the solution to ending these types of shootings is to have more 9/11's

Well, you're definitely on a watch list now.

He can still buy guns, though.
