    The "we can't solve 100% of the problem so we shouldn't make any attempt at all" line of thinking is a big reason why we are where we are.

Because if some asshole sold him that gun in a private sale, his or her ass needs to be behind bars. If he bought it from a store, that store needs to be shut down.

Edited by mdmost

Actually if some asshole or store sold him that gun, then it is just like out founders intended.    If you stop anyone, felons, murders, crazies, from buying a gun then that is a slippery slope which will end with Biden taking away your right to own a BB gun! 

What all you libtards fail to see is the omnipotent genius of our founding fathers.  Sure they put in that crap about well regulated militias into the 2A, but that was just to fool the 18th century woke libtards into agreeing to it.  They knew that future geniuses would use the concept of “originalism”, the idea that laws should be interpreted as written, to completely ignore what was written!   The important part was “will not be infringed”, and that is the part that they meant.  Why?  No it wasn’t for hunting or protection or to stand up to tyranny.  No they wanted us to kill each other as often as possible.  The real problem is that we haven’t taken it far enough.  When they said “shall not be infringed”, they meant all the way.  Machine guns, nucs, neuron bombs.  And no restrictions for felons, children, crazies, etc. Why?  Cause they knew about all of Americas future problems and that they can only be solved by mass kills.  Think about it.. poverty?  Solved by killing poors.   Social security insolvency? Solved by killing olds.   Housing/food shortages?  Solved by more mass killings. Climate change?  Again killing is the answer.  Poor math grades?  Solved by arming school children.   Racial issues?  Solved by killing all other races.   All of our problems solved by more guns and more killings!  They knew back in the 1700’s. We just need to listen.

If anyone else has a better representation of the NRA/GOP/SC mindset then please share cause that is the best I can come up with when trying to understand their viewpoint of NO gun restrictions in light of repeated mass shooting events.

True dat.  What kind of a fucking hospital has doors that just open automatically so as to accommodate people on gurneys, wheelchairs, walkers, and canes?  Fucking animals!  WHAT ABOUT CHICAGO/YEMEN HOSPITALS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good nurse practitioner with a gun.

It’s only Wednesday. There’ll be another one before week’s end. It’s how we roll…or shoot.

on the run from johnny law. ain't no trip to cleveland

If the sight of 8 year olds on your ring doorbell make you want to load your glock, how do you even Amazon Prime? Or do they get a pass? What if the child was wearing an Amazon vest? Is it the color blue that's soothing compared to whatever the kid was wearing? Are rainbows unnerving? Or is cardboard comforting?

I'm so confused.

that is how a society armed to the teeth is going to have to behave.

  • Don't dare talk to someone, good chance you could get shot.
  • Don't knock on someone's door, good chance you could get shot.
  • Don't drive up a driveway mistakenly, good chance you could get shot.
  • Don't look at someone funny, good chance you could get shot.
  • Don't play baseball out in the open, good chance you could get shot.
  • Don't go to your place of worship, good chance you could get shot.
  • Don't attend a school, good chance you could get shot.

this is all learned behavior. I have learned not do these things if i want to give myself a good chance of continuing to live to a ripe old age. And as a result it is turning us into a pretty shitty society where we just dont physically interactive with anyone anymore, It's a threat to one's own very existence.

avoid, avoid, avoid.. stop doing those things.. stop interacting with people, it could get you killed.

It is changing our society and how we live, make no doubt of that.

Don't go to a hospital, good chance you could get shot.

Yes, because the reason this happened is because he was here illegally not that he had access to (and repeatedly used in his front yard) an assault weapon.

A hospital, what is it?

It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now. 

So I'm sitting in Thunderbird Bar & Grill on the Plaza in Santa Fe, enjoying a 7K IPA after a full day of walking & sightseeing. I pull up surly and see this thread as I get a push alert about the latest shooting.

Then, over the bar's speakers which has been playing a casual, 50s - 80s smooth mix designed to appeal to the crowd (Paul Simon, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, the Doobies, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee, etc). All of a sudden, Liberty Lies by David Baerwald comes on. There might not be 5 people on the forum who have a clue about his music.

The opening verse (delivered behind lush guitars and keys) goes:

"We've got a different kind of murderer here
A man on my TV said
A random kinda feeling starts to fill the air
And we're left here to count the dead"

Now on to Dire Straits and Heavy Fuel.

I can tell you with absolute certainty it wouldn’t have happened had he not.  So…partial credit.  I’m sorry this one wasn’t another white cis incel so this would be easier for you.

Probably more than 5.  At the very least I'm one.

How does THAT song get shuffled into some random yacht rock-ish channel today, at that time.

So the alleged Atlanta shooter is a black dude. So the right might actually give a shit on this one. Who am I kidding?

It depends. Did he shoot any white people?

BREAKING NEWS:

ANTIFA/BLM Atlanta Shooter Shoots up Hospital.  Unclear How Many Victims Are White.  Stay Tuned to FOX For Full Coverage.

Fucking Oklahoma:

Quote

A convicted rapist on trial on child pornography charges is believed to have fatally shot six people, five of them teenagers, before he died by suicide at the rural Oklahoma property where the kids were having a sleepover last weekend, authorities said Wednesday.

All of the victims were shot in the head, said Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice, the spokesman for a violent crime task force overseeing the investigation into the killings outside the small town of Henryetta.

The suspect, Jesse McFadden, 39, also died of a gunshot wound to the head, Prentice said.

Prentice identified the victims as Ivy Webster, 14; Brittany Brewer, 15; Michael Mayo, 15; Tiffany Guess, 13; Rylee Allen, 17; and Holly McFadden, 35.

Holly McFadden’s mother, Janette Mayo, identified her daughter Tuesday as Holly Guess. She married Jesse McFadden last year, Okmulgee County records show.

Their bodies were found in two groups on the large property where the McFaddens rented a home, Prentice said.

One group that included Ivy, Brittany and Riley was found about a quarter-mile from the home, he said. The bodies were roughly 100 to 150 yards apart in a scene that Prentice described as "staged." He declined to elaborate.

The four others were found in a heavily wooded part of the land, Prentice said.

A possible motive remained unclear, he said.

"Part of the problem when the community suffers with something like this is everybody wants to understand why," Prentice said. "Normal people can’t understand why. People that perpetrate crimes like this are evil."

Jesse McFadden served nearly 17 years in prison for first-degree rape. In 2017, while behind bars, he was accused of sending sexually explicit photos to a 16-year-old girl and acting in a manner that prosecutors described in court documents as “manipulative and controlling of the victim.”

Jesse McFadden was charged with child pornography and soliciting sexual conduct/communication with a minor. A jury trial had been scheduled for Monday, the day the bodies were found after the parents of Ivy and Brittany reported them missing.

McFadden's lawyer hasn’t responded to requests for comment. Court documents show that McFadden planned to argue that he was in touch not with the 16-year-old but with her friend, who was 21.

Brittany Brewer's father, Nathan Brewer, said Jesse McFadden never should have been released from prison after he was charged in 2017. Officials should be held liable for their deaths, he said.

A spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Corrections Department said in a statement that state law requires inmates to serve 85% of their sentences — for McFadden, 17 years.

For most of his time behind bars, the spokeswoman said, McFadden had an inmate classification level in line with “outstanding” evaluations for work, education and other criteria.

When he reached a few months short of 17 years — a term that included time served in a county jail — he was released, she said.   

Registered sex offenders are allowed to live with children as long as they don’t commit crimes against them, she said. And McFadden followed sex offender registry rules, checking in with the sheriff’s office every 90 days. 

Aside from McFadden's conviction and the 2017 charges, Prentice said he knew of no other warning signs.

The teens' parents have said they didn't know about McFadden's criminal history or that he was a registered sex offender. In interviews, they described the sleepover last weekend as routine and said nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Nathan Brewer said Jesse McFadden seemed like a "nice, normal person."

Holly McFadden's mother has also said that her daughter didn't know "the truth about Jesse McFadden" and that he "fooled her with his charm."

"Now she and my grand babies are dead," Janette Mayo wrote Wednesday on Facebook. "Stop bashing her."

I wonder if it would have happened if he didn't have access to firearms?
