Yet another school shooting

[Creed of Heresy]

A man carrying an AK-47 opened fire in a Georgia elementary school, luckily nobody was injured or killed:

I will say it again, these kinds of incidents will continue to happen until we get sensible gun control in this country.

I like how nobody notices that the man was charged with "possession of a firearm by a convicted felon."

He did not come by that firearm legally. You really think gun control laws would've done anything to stop this guy? No. The gun itself is illegal to own in the US under the assault rifle ban. AK-47s are illegal to purchase. I own one myself but I have it fully registered and track-logged, and purchased it before the AR ban. THIS guy, however? I somehow doubt he got this gun legitimately.

I keep having to repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself repeat myself: CRIMINALS DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU BAN GUNS. Nora Brimstone was just talking about a girl who was shot to death on her street in England. You know, that nation that completely DOES NOT allow firearms? WOW, HOW STRANGE, IT'S ALMOST LIKE CRIMINALS DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT THE LAW OR SOMETHING. Gasp, choke, stare-with-wide-eyes-and-gaping-mouth-in-shock!

I'm getting a little sick of these threads instantly being used as political statements by the members of this forum. Not ONE PERSON HERE says something like "thank goodness NO CHILDREN WERE HURT OR KILLED (which kind of negates the whole "guns will make it easy" everyone is saying when a guy with one of the most lethal ARs in existence fails to even injure someone despite shooting repeatedly), it's a good thing this wasn't a tragedy and was instead just a disturbance at a school!"

This is getting sickening, guys. When the entire thread is just everyone bitching about guns without actually talking about the tragedy itself, or the incident itself? You guys might wanna check your priorities; because if you're discussing the politics before you're discussing the incident itself? You've already fucked up as an empathetic individual.
