Oh sorry, posts.

Not only that, it is factually incorrect. You liberals literally are a away from reality.

Rushlimbaugh.com

There is your neverending source, that you liberals always pray does not exist.

And yep, how racist and right - wing am I??

Hence, Luckbox's point

besides, I linked the LA times op-ed in the gun control thread.

Nah, Holmes, I’m not going on an Easter egg hunt. Post your thoughts here.

I'm not going to hijack this thread anymore...this conversation is going away from it's purpose. I'll post in answer in gun control mass shooting thread.

If you think terrorist events are the biggest add for other events, then bombs shouldn't scare you. The biggest domestic terrorist attack was the Murrah Building bombing almost 25 years ago

but it only takes one manic who cant get a gun to try something else.

I just think bombing is too disconnected from the act. Its about recognition for these shooters. That is why they all have manifestos and want to suicide by cop, so the world knows! It isn't glamorous or impulsive. Its the unabomber

That's a good point. They all do not have manifesto's though.

The government did fix bombs though. Bombings used to be very prevalent in the 70s. Now they're rare.

By limiting available ingredients?

Partially. You used to be able to buy dynamite over the counter and it didn't have to be secured at construction sites so it'd be easily stolen.

Bull****, banning things doesn't ever work.

WTF with this Easter egg hunt you're trying to send me on just to decipher your basic opinions.

Bombs are tricky, both in handling the explosives themselves and making the mechanism. Seems like making easy-to-use military-grade firearms available to teenagers is the most obvious explanation for why we see political violence expressed through the AR-15 instead of the old-school letterbomb.

I'm not going to argue that banning weapons would not have a impact on homicide rates, but mass murders, I'm not buying it...

How many mass murder bombings have there been in Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Austria, etc.? Is it basically the same as here?

This is kind of tired. What do you think happens to the 300-400 million guns in the US? If a person methodically plans to commit a mass murder, you think those guns becoming illegal will stop them?

What happened to all the guns in Australia?

At some point, you have to start talking about something that can be accomplished. You won't see guns banned, and confiscated in the US, not any time soon. Talking about what and how Australia does something does not change this.

You have to see how this **** completely negates your "oh the left is ignoring the real causes" ****, right?

He asked about bombs. You were saying that if we got rid of the guns people would use bombs, but in countries where they have effective gun control, you don't see mass bombings. Now you're on an entirely different subject.

The projection here is breathtaking. The mental health thing is always and exclusively brought up when white people do mass shootings then immediately discarded when gun control advocacy drops out of the headlines, it's not like you people are out here demanding socialized health care that includes mental health.

The point of bringing up mental health is always just to eventually say it's an unsolvable problem. Black people committing crimes with guns, well, you fix that with police brutality. Muslims committing crimes with guns, ban immigration from Muslim majority countries.

White people committing crimes with guns, though, that's just a force of nature localized almost entirely to North America below the 47th parallel.

No, I do not. An inanimate object does not cause things.

You are right, you do not have a frequency of mass murder in these other places, but again they did not have a Columbine, followed by x, followed by x. It never occurred in the first place.

Fly, I've specifically said mental health wont work either. These folks do not seek treatment, and their personality disorders are not diagnosed until after they committed the atrocity.

Again, your focus on racist motivation for any position non-left is pathological at this point, and not worth addressing. Talking about gun control and you take it right back to race. What the **** is wrong with you?

So mass shootings are the cause of mass shootings? Listen, I don't know if you need to head back to HQ to restock on takes but is it really too much to ask that you have AN opinion? It doesn't even need to be a good one! You can post Nazi **** here!

What is worth addressing, then?

Depends what you want to ban. Nitro glycerin turns out, is pretty easy. Alcohol and marijuana not so much. Goes back to the demand and necessity to a black market. I'm sure there is a black market to ingredients necessary to make explosives, but its much smaller and more closely monitored than something that lots of people want... like guns.

Rounding up 400 million guns is neigh impossible, though I think a trade in program for biometrics is a decent compromise.

You know what, I've explained this three times, in three separate threads. Your pathological focus on racism seem to prevent you from understanding human psychology. Just like it prevents you from understanding the psychological impact of growing up in Chicago around constant violence. Violence breeds violence.


With you? Nothing. I do not go out of my way to interact with you.
