Stay safe pdub

Sure glad we made it super easy for this asshole to get an assault rifle and all the ammo he can shoot.

Yeah guns.

8 minutes ago on twitter:

BREAKING President Biden has been briefed on what’s known so far about the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine that has killed at least 22 and injured at least 60, and will continue to receive updates as they become available.

greatest country on earth

yay us

Remember when people used to have morals and sanity and guns?

But does the shooters motive fit the narrative this time? Will it be mainstream? Or will their manifesto be hidden again

Randy, you should probably stand down.

If it's a white guy, biden will give another gun control speech

If it's another trans person, we will pretend it didn't happen and it'll be out of the news cycle soon

Nah.
See you in December.
Picked the wrong time to full randy.

I choose not to read what randy posts on the Poli board so I keep him on my ignore list.
We all have the option of ignoring what he posts but hey, I respect the banishment if that's what you feel is best for the board/s.
Bottom line is he's a piece of shit who feels the need to hide behind an alias and instead of going to a site with like minded people to spew his political bull-shit, he prefers to be an asshole to fellow KU fans and alum - and it seems he truly enjoys himself when doing as such. Fuck 'im.

Everything is shut down here.
Schools/daycare. Businesses.

Background checks mandatory, with a week or two waiting period, paid for with a tax on said gun.

Production of newer guns should halt. Any new gun should have zero semi auto/auto capabilities.
Bolt action. Double barrel or break action. Pump. That's it.
Newer guns should be built to prevent modifications - i.e. break the gun.
Max capacities of these guns should be 4 or 5.
No magazines or clips. You have to individually load each round.

Human beings hunted successfully with bows, spears, boomerangs, bolos.
You can manage with 4 shots from a rifle or shotgun.
I'd say the same thing for self defense - if you don't hit with your first one or two shots, you're probably in trouble anyways.

Buy back programs for guns that exist should be promoted. Give a reasonable x amount of years you have to return any gun that is deemed, on the list, as not one of the grandfathered in guns ( that are close to the gun modifications listed above ). After that time period, any gun not on the list is illegal, with seizure, fines and jail time depending on offense. Any modifications to a gun would face similar penalties.

No silly gun shows. Gun shops would have to be similar to ABC, a controlled centralized business with unified standards and practices.

If you reallly want to fire those more high powered weapons, there can be places you can fire them, renting them, on the premises, like a shooting range.

Either the drinking age should go down to 18 or the gun buying age should go up to 21.
( i'd prefer the latter, honestly, i'd prefer the option not listed above, drinking age to 18, gun buying to 21 ).

The 2nd Ammendment was intended for colonies/commonwealths/states that didn't have a standing army yet as a means to protect themselves. It was a new nation. Washington and the Federalists changed that in the mid 1790s when the Army was created to fight the Native Americans. If the States want to create militias, where people volunteer and train and have access to those weapons, much like joining the military but directly just for your state and not Federally bound in anyway, because they think/feel the State could rise against a tyrannical government, i'm in support of those members having access to the weaponry the National Armed Forces have ( though they would never get even close to the capabilities with pin point distance missiles, high speed jets, drones etc ).

I’m sorry for what’s happening in your state.

I wish I could tell you I was optimistic in the near term.

I saw this. One would think that he is the definition of a responsible gun owner.

He appears to be the definition of something anyway.

In case you’re exclusively watching @FoxNews, you’ll be interested to learn that Lewiston shooter Robert Card’s now-deleted @X account was full of MAGA likes for @TuckerCarlson, @realDonaldTrump, @DonaldJTrumpJr, and @DineshDSouza

It’s so weird, you never see headlines that read MENTALLY ILL MAN KILLS 22 OVERNIGHT IN HORRIFIC FRYING PAN ATTACKS.

https://x.com/iwriteok/status/171738753 ... PzNG4aOfKQ

the Lewiston mass shooter was obsessed with conspiracy theories about trans mass shooters, he fantasized about running down protesters with his car, and seems to have been a COVID truther too.

Also a big fan of Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson etc

there’s something oddly familiar about those characteristics
