Authorities investigating if retired federal agent knew of Buffalo mass shooting plans in advance
Officials are investigating whether a retired federal agent had about 30 minutes advance notice of a white supremacist's plans to murder Black people at a Buffalo supermarket.
Aussies tend to swear. And I never said that your kid isn't perfectly normal and well-adjusted, in fact I stated flat out more than once that he most likely is. In the States it is very normal to want to invest most of your savings into buying yourself a home armoury as soon as you can. That's how bizarre the gun culture is, guns are so prominent and that mindset is so normalised.
You are willing to say that you think that someone dropping some f-bombs in casual conversation is more of a red flag for potential violence than a teenager dropping several hundred dollars (or more) on an AR-15 assault weapon as soon as he is able to buy one....... don't you see what a bizarre culture that is? Really?
??
To be clear, it's your house, so it's your rules. I have no issue with that, but I will take some umbrage with making arguments about "need".' I remember not that many years ago gun owners would say "It's a free country. "Need" has nothing to do with it. What happens when the government decides you don't "need" the thing that you like." Gun owners were roundly criticized for such a stupid "slippery slope" argument.
Then the pandemic happened and in an instant it was all laid bare as to how little we "need" and that living somewhere that basis access on need fucking sucks, and isn't at all the society we signed up for. In this thread, I'm seeing people with all sorts of guilt pleasures criticizing gun owners for not "needing" to own a gun. It's pretty rich.
For reference, I'm not referring to you in that last bit, but some of the other, ironically more fervent, posters.
I don’t think many non Americans will ever see eye to eye with Americans on gun issues. Their current lived reality is so far removed from ours.
The gun culture isn't as big as it seems. The vocal minority is obsessed tho
Common sense gun laws are supported by the majority of Americans
Anecdotal, but I know thousands of people, and I can't name 10 with guns.
3 are hunters
3 are police
And 2 others
Granted I'm from the ny/nj where the diverse culture is more aligned with that of other advanced nations
I take that back. Apparently 30-40% of americans own guns
That's fuckin insane
With all due respect, most people are inathletic, unstable, and scared.
Very few should be allowed anywhere near a gun imo
Fuck America. This country blows

You're being ridiculous
Their ideal world is every year when the teacher, equipped with a six shooter at their hip, starts the class they warn the class about not bringing a gun to a school or they will shoot them dead.
When little Jimmy, 11, tries to say something back the teacher throws a bullet at him and tells him to be quiet or the next one is coming quicker.
Fixed that for you

An AR 15 is not an assault rifle
DD sells bucket rifles too.
U know fuck all about guns.
Sell your guns and get some training.
You're dangerous.
I still don't even know what happened.
How did the kid crash his car? Just a shitty driver or he was being chased by cops after shooting his grandma in the face?
