Fuck.  How do you LIVE like this??

Will you stop selling fear yourself! This is the shit that sells more guns. Making less guns, banning big clips and spray weapons is no different than not allowing monster trucks on public highways. Now I defy you to show me where in that statement I said "ban all guns".......Nobody said take away all guns, but we do have a flooded market and you are right we do have a huge boner for guns, THAT is the worst part, far too many people worship guns as if the gun itself was a human with rights.

Why are you on Boru's case for this??? Seriously???

The SB mass shooting wasn't the only mass shooting to happen in the US today. 

The one the national news forgot to cover

The rampage that claimed at least 14 lives in San Bernardino, Calif., isn't today's first mass shooting. Here’s news you probably missed: A gunman in Savannah, Ga., shot four people early Wednesday, killing a woman and injuring three men.

Police haven’t arrested a suspect, said Eunicia Baker, spokesperson for the Savannah Chatham Police Department. They also haven’t released the names of the victims. The local news media barely acknowledged the murder: One local television station covered it in three paragraphs.

And the world spun on.

Its the breast beating reference that got him fired up. Brian is strongly against that.
He believes anything nipple related should be protected at all costs. Hes actually a member of a bird watching organization that protests for that cause.
Its called BTBT.

Because, the "far left" is a hoax. There are not enough people that literally want to remove all guns, nobody thinks that is practical even if I wanted to. Saying "far left" is as nutty as Trump thinking he can deport 11 million people. Again NOBODY is saying take away all guns. THAT is my point and falling for the right's code language gives them that fear to hide behind.

We can make less, make them harder to get so that the wrong people don't get them and yes, you don't need a spray weapon or huge clips. AGAIN nothing in that last sentence says " no guns at all".

If Boru is on the sane side great, so don't play into the gun worshipers language of fear.

And sadly, Texas and Georgia get buried in the conversation.

That's not going to happen, obviously, but just knowing that shootings just seem to be increasing all the time, makes me not want to live on this planet anymore.

If it weren't for the fact that I have to type out more notes in school tonight, I wouldn't be going in at all.

Are they really increasing or has it become such a spotlit issue that the media is now covering it more and more?

(I don't know the answer)
There has been more mass shootings in the country as of today in this year than there has been days in the year as of today.  So it averages at least one mass shooting per day.

This is supposed to be a case of workplace violence.  One of the shooters worked there or had ties to the conference center.

Another shooting. This time at a Texas Women's center.

Quote:In the midst of the San Bernardino mass shooting that killed at least 14 people and injured at least 14 more, we have reports of another shooting death. This one is at another medical facility, Clinica Hispana, which is a women’s clinic in Houston, Texas.Houston police have confirmed one death but have not confirmed if the dead is a victim or suspect.

So wait, another woman's heath clinic was shot up as well?  Who said in the other thread that anti-abortion violence hadn't happened in decades?  So untrue, it just isn't covered. Sad
