The dick move is the continual inaction and call for silence. TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 02/10/2017 08:05:24 PM

These aren't isolated incidents.

Is an extra two days going to make it any easier on the people who lost loved ones? Are the people who don't want it politicized going to have changed their minds after two days?

Come to the dark side, We have candy!

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

The US is now 273/275 for mass shootings this year! TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 06:07:38 PM 1831 Views
Perhaps we could also wait for the bodies to get cold before politicizing a tragedy? *NM* damookster - 02/10/2017 07:11:18 PM 487 Views
Indeed. LiterateDog - 02/10/2017 07:32:41 PM 754 Views
yes. damookster - 02/10/2017 07:41:15 PM 786 Views
Well, to be fair, dude ain't got no crown. LiterateDog - 02/10/2017 07:43:31 PM 759 Views
I suppose lack of a crown could be disconcerting damookster - 02/10/2017 07:47:46 PM 789 Views
Does that mean uncircumcised? Tom - 02/10/2017 09:16:23 PM 710 Views
Same here. Tom - 02/10/2017 09:15:29 PM 806 Views
No. It's a willful failure of policy, just like the last thousands times. We fucking can't. TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 07:47:16 PM 778 Views
Yes.You.Could. damookster - 02/10/2017 07:49:17 PM 800 Views
Because not politicizing the first thousand worked so well... TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 07:52:09 PM 798 Views
Really? damookster - 02/10/2017 07:55:22 PM 764 Views
How much time is "enough time" exactly? Just until the next one so the clock can reset? *NM* TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 08:01:51 PM 454 Views
double post for emphasis. *NM* damookster - 02/10/2017 07:49:17 PM 501 Views
Oh and "also"? That comment was preemptively aimed at the very sentiment you were expressing. *NM* TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 07:54:12 PM 486 Views
It failed. *NM* damookster - 02/10/2017 07:56:19 PM 468 Views
Then you misunderstood it's purpose. *NM* TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 07:58:15 PM 479 Views
doubtful. damookster - 02/10/2017 08:00:38 PM 666 Views
The dick move is the continual inaction and call for silence. TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 08:05:24 PM 745 Views
One or two days would defeat your purpose? damookster - 02/10/2017 08:15:49 PM 816 Views
And what if someone goes out an shoots another 50+ people tomorrow? TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 08:18:31 PM 715 Views
Your post on a website with 100 active users would prevent that? *NM* damookster - 02/10/2017 08:22:25 PM 472 Views
Just another argument aimed at silencing discussion *NM* TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 08:27:27 PM 462 Views
If you want discussion how about making specific points or suggestions? damookster - 02/10/2017 08:31:09 PM 747 Views
Stop attempting to prevent discourse because it offends your sensibilities. TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 08:39:47 PM 774 Views
oh fuck off damookster - 02/10/2017 08:45:05 PM 756 Views
Oh please, the problem isn't a lack of ideas. TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 09:04:18 PM 726 Views
You do realize that the guns used in Las Vegas may have already been illegal. damookster - 02/10/2017 09:14:47 PM 741 Views
Or it may have been modified with a completely legal $95 stock TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 09:30:44 PM 704 Views
Multiple firearm experts here have stated that audio analysis makes it unlikely... damookster - 02/10/2017 09:42:20 PM 755 Views

People who go to the bother of obtaining illegal weapons in order to kill people... damookster - 02/10/2017 09:59:52 PM 743 Views
That is why you limit access to them. *NM* TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 10:21:32 PM 446 Views
It should be noted.... Jeordam - 02/10/2017 10:13:19 PM 737 Views
All the more reason for federal regulation on the matter *NM* TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 10:20:49 PM 470 Views
The federal law wouldn't do much more.... Jeordam - 02/10/2017 10:33:46 PM 764 Views
And because a law only makes a problem slightly better TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 10:40:00 PM 734 Views
And that would be the difference between you and me.... Jeordam - 02/10/2017 10:45:13 PM 733 Views
You sail in the ocean blind long enough and eventually you hit an iceberg. TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 10:51:24 PM 762 Views
Again.... Jeordam - 02/10/2017 11:07:20 PM 759 Views
If there's an average of 1 per day, when are we not mourning? nossy - 02/10/2017 08:03:46 PM 757 Views
How about when we have better and more complete information, for one? damookster - 02/10/2017 08:11:18 PM 694 Views
A 64 year old man walked into a hotel with 10 guns TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 08:17:24 PM 814 Views
Which hypothesis? *NM* nossy - 02/10/2017 08:20:51 PM 469 Views
The United States has an unaddressed problem with firearm violence. *NM* TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 08:23:28 PM 491 Views
I agree with that premise. *NM* nossy - 02/10/2017 08:26:58 PM 445 Views
I will always agree with that, nossy - 02/10/2017 08:19:58 PM 784 Views
That was my point. damookster - 02/10/2017 08:24:56 PM 845 Views
Eh, well nossy - 02/10/2017 08:31:43 PM 729 Views
how about something a little more tangible than "your country has a problem?" *NM* damookster - 02/10/2017 08:33:13 PM 508 Views
jeez, twice in one thread. *NM* damookster - 02/10/2017 08:33:13 PM 450 Views
Weirdly, I also agree with this nossy - 02/10/2017 08:42:26 PM 679 Views
See Roland00's reply. damookster - 02/10/2017 08:47:57 PM 669 Views
Again nossy - 02/10/2017 08:59:44 PM 688 Views
Nobody said "your country is stupid" TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 09:06:54 PM 700 Views
The "other side" is trying to use the emotions of the moment to pass things they couldn't otherwise random thoughts - 03/10/2017 11:57:38 AM 747 Views
Lets postpone the discussion to 10/10 Roland00 - 02/10/2017 08:36:57 PM 767 Views
I have no problem with discussion. damookster - 02/10/2017 08:40:43 PM 734 Views
But, but, you lose a news cycle that way! Tom - 02/10/2017 09:14:19 PM 725 Views
"And we wonder why we have shootings like this at all..." TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 09:40:40 PM 686 Views
Wow step away from the spicy nachos Tom *NM* Roland00 - 02/10/2017 09:51:00 PM 529 Views
Make that 274, 3 people dead and 2 wounded in Lawrence. TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 08:22:21 PM 724 Views
So what you would you say the solution would be? Jeordam - 02/10/2017 08:50:54 PM 711 Views
Exactly. *NM* damookster - 02/10/2017 08:52:53 PM 413 Views
Any number of the dozens of pieces of legislation that is proposed *every time* this happens TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 09:11:26 PM 820 Views
And yet, almost every time shootings happen, none of those measures would have done anything. Tom - 02/10/2017 09:22:51 PM 745 Views
Speculation and ignored macro-effects TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 09:39:30 PM 735 Views
An honest Question Jeordam - 02/10/2017 10:06:16 PM 701 Views
The second amendment is part of the problem. *NM* TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 10:30:21 PM 479 Views
And now you just lost... Jeordam - 02/10/2017 10:39:21 PM 741 Views
Oh the fight is already won TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 10:50:00 PM 755 Views
I would disagree.... Jeordam - 02/10/2017 11:09:36 PM 733 Views
I don't think you're very educated as to Second Amendment jurisprudence. Ghavrel - 03/10/2017 12:13:27 AM 826 Views
Why let silly things like facts get in the way of a good polemic? damookster - 03/10/2017 01:24:24 AM 777 Views
And it's difficult to overstate how much they advanced its reach. Ghavrel - 03/10/2017 04:31:58 AM 760 Views

Question for you Ghav but also for any other RAFOite Roland00 - 03/10/2017 06:51:47 AM 795 Views
It's likely the Ferguson Effect. *NM* Tom - 03/10/2017 09:47:42 PM 438 Views
with a corresponding rise in gang activity and violence *NM* damookster - 03/10/2017 10:07:18 PM 446 Views
This too needs to be studied the Ferguson Effect Roland00 - 03/10/2017 10:43:02 PM 907 Views
It was, before they first started putting limitations on it TheCrownless - 04/10/2017 05:35:27 AM 843 Views
What court cases do you think are examples of the trend constricting the 2nd Amendment? *NM* Ghavrel - 04/10/2017 05:48:41 AM 430 Views

Dialogue....good. Jeordam - 02/10/2017 11:17:46 PM 721 Views
Just what kind of reaction did you expect to get with a post like this? Legolas - 02/10/2017 10:10:34 PM 772 Views
For people to think about the problem rather than token sympathies. TheCrownless - 02/10/2017 10:28:59 PM 818 Views
And the proof for that is....? *NM* Jeordam - 02/10/2017 10:41:29 PM 470 Views
Killing people is the whole point of guns. The real issue is who gets killed. Cannoli - 02/10/2017 10:55:59 PM 825 Views
