fuck guns

[soft milk]

just cut your fucking hands off

if they’re not full of money, they’re powerless anyway

how do I cut the second hand off after I cut my first hand off?? Sure, I have some close friends but that's a big ask.

this is such an amateur question. you just shove both your hands into a buzzsaw at the same time

[soft milk]

what were you gonna use a handsaw? it's 2019

[Lowercase Tea]

chef kiss and thumbs up are both good suggestions.

we need to co-opt another every day gesture and make it mean "fuck white supremacy." maybe the thumbs up?

I mean it's obviously this.

The Dayton shooter, on the other hand, appears to be from the opposite side of the political spectrum.

The shooting occurred early Sunday morning outside a nightclub in downtown Dayton. The alleged shooter, Connor Betts, 24, injured 27 people and killed nine, including his sister, before being shot and killed by police.

In a Sunday afternoon post, Heavy.com claims to have found the shooter's social media posts.

According to Heavy's finding, Betts appears to have been a liberal. He wrote approvingly of socialism, Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts, and liberal Democrat House members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley.

Is Fox News repeating this yet?

It was the top headline on CNN for at least 18 hours the other day. Probably longer.

The link between pot and mass shootings may be closer than we think

Interesting.

Really hope they put this kid in jail for the 4 years, unless that radicalizes him even further.

A man who sparked panic by walking into a Walmart with a rifle and body armour told police he was testing his right to bear arms in public.

Dmitriy Andreychenko entered the shop heavily armed, days after a mass shooting at another of Walmart's stores.

"I wanted to know if that Walmart honoured the second amendment," the 20-year-old told police after his arrest.

Prosecutors have charged him with making a terrorist threat.

If found guilty, the charge could result in a four-year prison sentence and a fine of $10,000 (£8,300), Greene County prosecutor Dan Patterson said in a statement

He told police he did not expect the reaction his walk generated.

"This is Missouri, I understand if we were somewhere else like New York or California, people would freak out," he said, according to police filings.

Climo was featured on a local TV report in 2016 that described him as a "local citizen on patrol" who openly carried an assault-style weapon and a large knife.

extremely cool and normal country

Mr Andreychenko was held at gunpoint by an off-duty fire fighter, who was legally carrying his own weapon, until police arrested him.

Last year, here in my uppity suburb, a couple guys (hispanic) shoplifted some stuff from Academy Sports and somebody (white, male) who was openly carrying took it upon himself to follow them and started shooting at them in the busy parking lot. They got away but a few cars were severely wounded and people were freaked out. In the end there were no charges brought against the shooter and he got to keep his permit. So, I assume that a permit to carry makes you a de facto officer along with all the limited liability that goes along with being an official member of the force.

How is this possible? Was he not even liable for the property damage he caused? Do you live in Florida?

I can't link to articles since all videogame related websites are blocked at work, but ESPN is delaying a broadcast of an APEX legends tournament that was supposed to air this week until October, and WalMart have started pulling advertisements for violent video games citing pressure from politicians. WalMart still sells guns & ammo though, so uh, way to lead the charge against gun violence.

Texas. There was no mention of liability for the cars in the news, just that he would face no consequences for the shooting. So I just assumed that encompassed property damage as well. I guess people could have subsequently sued him but I never heard anything about that.

Here's an article about it. And it was actually 3 years ago, in my head it seemed a lot more recent.

I went to a booze festival in my town last night and I had the low level dread all day after gilroy garlic

Plus a student at my school made threats about shooting up the school this week

I have thought about arming myself John brown gun club style but the discussion in this thread in the aftermath of last weekend’s shootings has mostly left me in the fuck guns camp. Fuck guns.

if you're only shooting cops you should be designated a proactive shooter
