Today's shooting in America thread

[idahoblues]

The sad thing is, the likelihood of there being a tragic event in 2026 far outweighs any likelihood there was of one in Qatar.

Not going to happen

It's not possible to articulate how fucked up that picture is. I also made the mistake of going on twitter and seeing some of the responses; might be time for me to abandon that platform. There are some sick people in this world.

I hope you're right. Doesn't change the point I was making though.

It really does, you're suggesting that a random fuckwit could do a mass shooting at a sporting event. You're in the realm of a massive terrorist act which as we know can happen anywhere

So three nine-years old being shot dead, is that not a terrorist act? The sick fuck that did this left a manifesto; is that not straying into the conventional territory of terrorism? How about Sandy Hook? Columbine? How would you designate them? Whether or not it's designated an act of terrorism doesn't take away the heinousness of it.

Bottomline; where are we most likely to see a fuckwit commit a mass shooting at a sporting event, Qatar or the US?

Whilst I agree on your points, a stadium full of people is somewhat easier to secure than every school in the country.
Don't get me wrong, I put these questions out there more for discussion, it is absurd what happens over here with these slaughters, I'm very glad I don't have kids in school

There were thousands of tragic events directly caused by hosting the World Cup in Qatar.

BAN YOUR FUCKING GUNS

Nope, not happening.

I'm not disputing that. I'll clarify, I meant tragic event in regards a shooting.

One is worse than the other ?

 

[Blue and true]

Nope, not happening.

And there it is. The "American Dream, Land of the Free" mindset that will continue to see hundreds of innocent kids slaughtered in classrooms. How many would be too many for you? A hundred in one sitting? A thousand?

I would prefer none

 

[Blue and true]

No. And you know that's not the point I'm making. My overriding point was that a tragic event involving a gun crime is more likely to be seen in the US and not Qatar; but I suspect you know that and are being disingenuous.

 

[Blue and true]

I would prefer none

So you'd prefer no children were killed in classrooms, but would also prefer to keep your licence to carry laws intact? Don't you see the stark correlation between the two?

 

[idahoblues]

I feel that you think a tragic event is worse when a gun is involved ?

Not sure that I said that

It doesn't matter what a persons stance is with guns............in the US, guns are not going to be banned and neither should they.

Now, if you want to talk about control and regulation, that's where the energy should be directed.

 

[Blue and true]

Not sure that I said that

That's literally what you said. You said you'd prefer no children being shot, but the only way these heinous crimes stop is by tightening your gun control laws. Unless I'm missing something?

Why shouldn't they be banned? And people do devote their energy into the debate regards control and regulation, yet nothing seems to be done.
