You look at Vegas and think, "hell, there were 800 people injured". TWO people could make that fatalities 1000+. And I would bet my house and my retirement nothing will be done.
Current Affairs The " another shooting in America " thread

Yep the right are so entrenched in this debate (lol) that a discussion isn't even an option.
I mean ffs it's harder to get a job, apartment, or a driver's licence than it is to buy a gun. Yet the discussion isn't even valid. The constitution never said a kid could shoot a bunch of other kids with an assault rifle.
Aaaaand yet the definition of the word/phrase "militia" is the issue. THANKS Supreme Court!
Good thread by this lady
Thanks will read.
This was from a nobody on twitter. She has a damn good point. Soz about the language mods.

An amendment written almost 230 years ago, when the U.S., in its infancy, was still facing the very real prospect of another war with Britain, is surely past its best-before date. Sadly, I don't think anything would change if the child or grandchild of a prominent NRA member happened to be a victim of one of these shootings.
There aren't enough cops to tail every social media hard case who poses with guns or spouts off about doing something like this, likewise there aren't enough mental health professionals to deal with all the teenagers who feel disenfranchised (if that's the right word). The simplest -- and ironically the most difficult -- remedy would be sweeping gun reforms and controls.

Imagine if they ruled it had to be actual bear arms...sucks for the bears and all...but imagine the giant bear farms in this country with folks having it out with furry clawed weapons.
The bear arm lobby would be amazing. PETA's heads would have exploded.
The Supreme Court has continued to vote in favor of guns.
One of the biggest parts of Trump's election was keeping the SC conservative. They might get a two vote advantage here shortly.
Ok read it...when you sell yourself to the devi...err NRA lobby...it's depressing reading that because they DNGAF.
After further thought this should be a South Park episode. The right to 'bear arms'.
NBA Head Coach Steve Kerr...kinda love his dig at the NRA...it's exactly what we are all thinking. Imagine Sam under this microscope.
...amazing when you think how easily this can be stopped, or at least made very difficult to happen.
Apparently 93% of American's would be happier with tighter background checks
That doesn't even mean getting rid of guns, it just means making sure someone is capable of owning one responsibly
I mean, you have to prove you can drive safely and get a license before they let you legally have a car, so why don't they do the same for guns?
