I think this is at a bar - Something about Madden tournament .. video game or something at the bar? which would account for shots being so load from supposedly the broadcast office



Nothing on motive yet

Latest "report" (not verified) was that he was a gamer who lost



I had no idea that gamers had gone to this level of mass gaming - NOT a good thing I think ... some games are ok and can be even good  for legitimate kids  .. but this is a wakeup call for me

Sadly more keyboard warriors can't accept a simple lost/defeat leading to a meltdown or couldn't get even with others without using a gun like the spineless piece of shit they are.  



This is why I hate esports and can't stand the lack of mutual respect for each other, just sick and tiring of seeing this kind of stuff, ppl these days are so full of shit.

Meanwhile, in other threads, Mel and the whorepig coo and caress a device proudly made in the USA for the purpose of killing.



The blood of innocent people slaughtered by firearms is on the hands of ALL those who worship and revere devices that exist to kill, and support the industry of death by giving their money to the manufacturers of these machines.



Well done, boys and girls.

A few years ago I was seriously hooked to games like StarCraft or Counter Strike, sometimes I pretend to be a girl and make everyone insecure when they keep losing to me, lol;  But think I'm only 2nd to SCOUSE being the number 1 gaming geek here in TBC, lol.  



Gaming is fun, but the sad fact is there're still too many losers and one I know that is seriously delusional and love to BS out of his anus how he's the best and this, but when he lost to one of my friend(a starcraft II diamond league player, simply highest tier) he started sending him stupid death threats messages saying he'll find and kill him, which kinda shook my friend a bit, but yea there's just some ppl that are too thin skinned to be allowed to play competitive games, or is better for them to go through counselling first.

I had a bit of a larf in June. Everyone was melting in the "heat". We were enjoying the lovely spring weather.



I think Brits could cope with "heat" a bit more if they installed ceiling fans, and opened a few windows.



I don't know how many pubs we walked in, then immediately out of, due to overpowering smell of sweat in a crowded bar with NO ventilation whatsoever.

It is derived from the logic put forward by Freud, and other idiots who think guns are good.



I am also bemused by the gun nutters who cry "foul" when an observation is made as a result of yet ANOTHER pointless loss of innocent life. That is PRECISELY the point of the argument that guns have no place in modern society.



Its precisely the same logic and "opportunism" that YOU employ when a terrorist act is committed, so spare me the ludicrous hypocrisy.

Fair IF (and only if) there was a way to get rid of guns in the US or for that matter, here in Canada. There is not and never will be

I'm not talking "outlawing", I'm talking getting rid of



Apart from that and speaking for my own self, as to "guns have no place in modern society", I'll tell you that if I lived in a place that stopped me from having a gun in my home I would move to another place that does ... or if forced, disobey the law and have at least one at home.



You yourself know as a cop that a home invasion cannot be helped by police who cannot be there. I'm guessin you have gone to homes that had been  invaded



Between family and friends I knew of 2 horrible home invasions when I was quite young and would not allow my kids to be so vulnerable when they were around, and myself and mate now they are not around.



If it ever happens on my property I  choose to have the cops come and find perps bodies, not mine or my family's



Further as to "guns have no place in modern society", I'll say that a society that tries to prevent a person from protecting themselves in their own home .. is NOT a society at all much less a society worth being in.

There is no distinction. Referencing an incident which underscores the basic thrust of a position in an argument is perfectly reasonable. It is NOT exploiting a tragedy to highlight the existence of a problem, despite the cries of "foul" from the opposition. It also seems to be a common position that gun nuts take..."Don't use that pointless loss of life to highlight the problem of guns in society...that's immoral". I presume you are smart enough to recognise the irony on that comment.

For what purpose? You're home, and suddenly the door is forced open and a male enters...unless you have the gun on your person, you are powerless.



Alternately, you manage to reach your firearm, and suddenly you're looking down the sights of a 16 year old kid who's taking your laptop. Will you shoot?


Quote from: "cc"You yourself know as a cop that a home invasion cannot be helped by police who cannot be there.


Then why do you not accept that, as a cop, I'm aware that the possession of a firearm in your home is no guarantee you will not be the victims of a crime. As a cop, I'm aware that the attempting to defending yourself with a gun against an armed offender will more likely result in your death than his or hers? Why do you not accept that as a cop, I'm aware that the more LEGAL guns in a community, the more ILLEGAL guns are available in a community? Why do you not accept that as a cop I am aware that many gun crimes are committed by people with LEGAL guns? And it doesn't take a cop to recognise that statistically you are 10 times more likely to be killed by a gun in the US than in Australia.
Quote


Between family and friends I knew of 2 horrible invasions when I was quite young and would not allow my kids to be so vulnerable when they were around, and myself and mate now they are not around.


Yet they survived. As most victims of break-ins and home invasions do. If the offender is intent on killing the occupants, he or she will already be armed, and you will be unable to defend yourself with a gun stored in a dresser and the ammunition locked away in a secure cabinet.


Quote
If it ever happens on my property I  choose to have the cops come and find perps bodies, not mine or my family's


You're talking crap. If your home is invaded, I guarantee that you will either not get to your firearm, or you will be unable to use it in any way other than to threaten the offender. If the offender is armed, he or she will shoot.

Really? Then you would not live in many countries that are considerably safer than yours because guns are forbidden. Silly argument.

You are so set in your ways that discussion is impossible. Because you are a cop your words mean more than the words of a greenhorn, but they cannot be taken as gospel as you have a highly pronounced bias on gun ownership of all kinds .. actually advocating total abstinence which I find abhorrent



All did not survive



And yes, I absolutely would not live in a "non" society that does not allow one to defend one's home ... on principle alone apart from whether I personally chose to be armed or not ... I consider such to not be a genuine society at all



Here many have guns at home ... rifles and shotguns ... (unregistered which I STRONGLY  do not agree with)  .... very few "legal"  short guns although very short shotguns can be legal .... and our country is quite  low in criminal shootings

Ask yourself where that "bias", as you call it, comes from?



Did I wake up one day and declare to myself "I hate guns"?



If you'd seen what I've seen, who knows, you too may be "biased".

Still haven't seen a good explanation from the anti-gun nuts, LOL why it is places like Switzerland and Iceland have virtually the same gun availability as the US, but have some of the lowest murder rates in the world.  Obviously there is more than gun availability going on.



BTW after seeing what is going on in South Africa I'll definitely be keeping my gun.  Outside of leaving, its the only recourse a citizen has against a tyrannical government and/or the chaos created by one.

Most of the socalled poor in the US today have more than the middle class did in the 50s (cars TVS etc) and there was much less crime then.  So i don't by the poverty thing



the US difference is mostly demographics.   Go to chicago.  Known for murders.  Go to a white neighborhood in chicago, almost no murders for years.  Go to a Hispanic neighborhood-- your chance of getting murdered just doubled or tripled go to a black neighborhood your chances of getting murdered are now about ten times higher than the white neighborhood



But its not just chicago, these massive demographic differences in criminal behavior occur all over the US in every city.  the numbers are replicated over and over.  



Also statistics show that black kids from well off families are MORE likely to commit crimes than children from poor white families.



I am not saying gun availability has nothing to do with it, it may or may not, but I am saying other factors are much more important,.

I think Canada's largest demographic besides white is asians, and they commit crimes probably less than whites.  But you look at Aboriginal canadians and their murder rate is at least 6 times higher than non aboriginals.  



As to mass shootings I think it has little to do with demographics  (except when it comes to Islam as a motivator) and has more complicated forces.  a monkey see, monkey do kind of thing where people imitate shooters, suicidal depression where the depressed person is not content  with just killing themselves but wants revenge in humanity, a desire to be famous, availability of guns and probably a few other things as well.  I think it takes a lot of factors put together.



BTW you and I may disagree a bit about guns, but we certainly are in agreement about the perils of mass immigration.

Or the one that highlights that guns make killing people easier?



How about "There is NO socially acceptable or redeeming argument that says a functioning, law abiding society requires its members to possess firearms"?



Here's one; children are being gunned down in schools by lunatics that had easy access to military styled firearms. That seems to be a good argument.



Much like people who play video games don't deserve to be murdered by a whackjob wielding a gun he had no business possessing.



There is no use for a gun, other to harm and kill others. That's what they are made for. That's why the craftsmen of America pump these things out by the thousand, full in the knowledge that a significant proportion of their handywork will kill someone.



Its a sign of a sick and declining society.

 I only use that phrase to poke fun at your use of the "gun nuts" phrase which is leftard talk (shame on you Brick :0c0KHxD: :001_tongue: )  .  I realize that you and Zetsu are not "nuts".  


Quote from: "Bricktop"You mean the one that goes "fewer guns = fewer deaths by gunfire"?


This argument doesn't work, as I have pointed out, Iceland's and Switzerland have roughly the same access to forearms yet their murder rate is lower than Australia's.


Quote from: "Bricktop"Or the one that highlights that guns make killing people easier?


true, but we have no evidence that people killed by guns would not be killed by other means.  London is a prime example, guns are banned, but the murder rate is comparable to New York City where people are allowed to own guns.  They kill people with knives instead.  Dead is dead.


Quote from: "Bricktop"How about "There is NO socially acceptable or redeeming argument that says a functioning, law abiding society requires its members to possess firearms"?


Not true IMO.  People use their weapons to kill intruders and protect their homes all the time.  People protect their stores against robbers.  Women who are threatened by stalking exes can carry and feel more secure.  Anyone who works in dangerous places.  it is also the only source of recourse should the government become tyrannical.  And at times people really have stopped some mass shootings, or at least prevented the shooter form getting away by being armed.  Question: what stops a bad guy with a gun?  Answer: A good guy with a gun.


Quote from: "Bricktop"Here's one; children are being gunned down in schools by lunatics that had easy access to military styled firearms. That seems to be a good argument.


better argument.  Install metal detectors and limit entrance and exits.  This will prevent many more shootings than any ban would.


Quote from: "Bricktop"Its a sign of a sick and declining society.
We are a declining society, because the left is destroying our freedoms, and flooding our country with 3rd worlders (they will probably destroy yours as well, it just may take longer).   This has nothing to with guns which have been legal here for well over 200 years.

thank you Fash.



 That was exactly my point. and I could not have stated it better myself.

As to South Africa's government being different, it is.  But a lot of people in the west believe because they have always lived in countries with stable democracies that they will always be that way.  that is an illusion IMO. This is especially true as the left is taking over more  and more institutions, politicizing everything, taking away free speech rights, playing favorites with race, and flooding countries with immigrants in order to get more power.  These are serious warning signs that totalitarian tyranny is coming.



granted if a tank is coming to your house a gun won't do much.  But an armed resistance network could be a very big headache for a tyrannical government.



Also as Blazor pointed out a while ago.  if law and order breaks down because the government cannot, will not, or is unable to enforce the law you may well need a firearm to protect yourself your family and your property.   This happened during the LA riots.



These are the two main reason why I will never give up my gun.



----



As to solutions, one I already posed-- putting metal detectors and limiting entrances and exits to schools.  



Another idea is put serious repeat offenders away for good.  For example someone commits an armed robbery, gets out of jail and does it again.  Lock them up for good.



I guarantee just doing those two things alone would work far better than a ban on guns, because most people will never give up the firearms they own, especially the criminals.

 :thumbup:





Its gotten crazy. And you better believe that if Trump wins again, the Left will lose their fucking minds! I've never seen this level of cracking down on guns either. Obama thought he would limit our supply when he bought 1.5 BILLION rounds and shelves were empty, but now supply is coming back. No more high capacity clips, makes it easier for knuckleheads to count to 10 and charge in. Wish I would've bought the same rifle as my son and the clips too (25 round). Btw, that same rifle, is almost 2x the price as it was just 5 years ago. Cant tell if its gun prices going up, or the taxes on them. Then there is the restricting anyone under 21 to buy ammo, yet soldiers that are 18 will have them.



Another example you pointed out, police "standing by" or refusing to do what they are suppose to do. I seen the other day where a whole town's force up and quit, and that aint the first time I've heard about something like that.



When the shit hits the fan, we are on our own.

And you've just inadvertently exposed the flaw in the logic of gun nuts.



You are claiming as fact something that is mere hypothesis. You cannot predict situation A with an outcome in situation B without empirical evidence that establishes that IF London (the UK, in reality) did NOT have a predetermined variable, the outcome would be different.



That is like saying if the government did not charge so much for domestic gas, I'd be a better cook.



I would postulate that if the UK had less restrictions, more would be dead. In effect, it is safer due to the absence of firearms.



As always, gun nuts use homicide rates as a measure of firearm restriction efficacy. The two issues are NOT identical, and gun accessibility is only ONE variable in the rate of homicide.  Wazzzers constant point that cultural issues are important in HOMICIDES is quite right. Where he veers from logic is by arguing that MORE guns available in a dangerous and violent culture will solve the problem. That is illogical.
