About today’s Florida shooting

[Astral_]

Gun banning is close to impossible now, the USA are filled with guns to the brim. What kind of control could possibly be established at this time ?

You just reap what your ancestors/founding fathers/NRA supporters have sown. Again. And again.

Yeah, that makes the situation quite hard. But not impossible.
It will only enable the pretext of "bad people still have guns, I need them to defend myself", but if you crush the naysayers for long enough the situation should heal.

Ban guns, seize guns, perform a strict control of the black market, and after a long time you won't have 20 guns per Citizen lying around in the streets. Sure it sounds a little dictatorial, but strictness is needed under harsh circumstances.

i can do much more damage with a knife than i can with a gun

Not from the other side of a street.

England seems safer than most Englishmen, specially politicians, usually suggest.

Sure we have issues over here, but getting shot isn't one of them.

Perhaps, but you have to be skilled to do damage with a crossbow, in the other hand you don't have to be skilled, actually you don't even have to be human to do damage with a gun.

i said and i will say again
USA is a very DUMB country
they let any idiot use guns and shit happens

Isn't Florida the state where you can chase someone and shoot them on the street because you feel threatened by them?

Please stop with your "edgy" shit. You are just a person like anyone else, that wouldn't hurt a person. Even if you did you would say sorry like 5 times over.
Seen that crap so many times when I used to work at a high school. Trying to act cool and when it comes to pay the bills, they are scarry cats.

if I suddenly wanted everyone dead I could do it without a gun

im a violent person but I prefeer peace over senseless killing

You're a teenagers, you will get over it and go in the the normal working cycle where all of these violence things you think you can do, never will happen. Everyone think they're immortal at your age.

I know Im not immortal
and me being like this is not "just a teenage phase" because its pretty much who I am
I've been like this since I was a kid and its the way I see tge world
and I don't back down on things
I've been jumped in school a few times and I defended myself each time
and in one of those I ended up breaking the kids arm

 

[linuxares]

Good for you! I also had the same issues, I came close to break/dislocate ones arm. But I let go.
Not to burst your bubble, you're still a kid. Your brain still develops until the age of 25. Call me after that and see if you still try to paint everything black and white about the world.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant leg. Not arm.

not everything is black and white and I never said it was

Some things are though, there wouldn't be 17 dead kids if the angry one didn't have a gun.

We haven't had a school shooting here in 20 years, and it has nothing to do with how angry or challenged our kids are. It has nothing to do with less or more bullying. It has to do with how many people have guns.
And before people say stupid things like "it's our constitutional right to have a gun, you can't change that" - your constitution CAN be changed and HAS been 27 times. The longer it takes America to wake up, the more Americans will be shot dead.

 

[linuxares]

Holy balls! 133! Compared to fucking Russia and Finland where guns are allowed?
Mental Health isn't the issue, the people are.

the gun was stolen

No second amendment or NRA in Australia. People care more about people than guns, that's why such a miniscule number (from the US's perspective) was enough to force change.

While that's true, there was HUGE conservative pushback akin to what we have whenever this comes up here. This is the series that that clip came from, I recommend taking the 20 minutes to watch all three of the videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8eq5DPi5SWyNbFQ8qdJSfWtblaY3-iky

I'm watching the first one right now... I think my blood pressure is rising about that NRA guy.

He wouldn't be able to steal a gun if nobody had guns. Again, not rocket science.
