Off Topic Shooting in Las Vegas

At least he wont be using it while drunk, reading porn and pissed off he won nothing on his scratch cards.

 

With comments and replies like that, I should shoot you in the face with my 9mm
Don’t you know you live in the USA, the land of free speech? Duh

Why don’t you get out from your cave and walk the streets of the poorer parts of the Bronx and Harlem and Hell’s Kitchen at night and see how you do with comments like that against people holding signs that say “Black Lives Matter”
you coward

 

You do like to yap!

 

Yo yo yo I should but a cap in yo' ass!

 

Joinin the party late as i didn't realise there was a separate thread but apparantly 50% of the 300 million guns in circulation are owned by 3% of the population (guardian being liberal are more likely to count up then down). According to their survey, around 22% of americans own a gun

I don't think the analogy is too far off, except instead of deaths you get punchs ups, people getting hurt from violent drunks and all the psychological aspects that can't be measured. You could argue to a certain extent it won't be a "mass" attack but how many of those really exist. In the U.S. theres been what 274 mass shootings people like to embellish it and measure it as 1 every day but reality its 0.1 mass attacks to every 100,000 people (too many but not as prevalent as people think, even terrorist attacks are only 10x less likely so far this year).

I do think guns should be banned though, at the very least automatic weapons but our brothers over in the states are just for some reason more violent than us (we have about 1 death for 100k people, the states around 4.5 i think per 100k with around 2.8 being directly from firearms)

 

3 million people owning 150 million guns sounds a bit out

 

I'll post this again in case you missed it

Oops 9 million

 

yeah it does sound high but thats only 16 guns per person. Made it sound a bit more plausible to me.

Just reading off the guardian report who looked at some survey from harvard.

nice one. A different site so at least theres more numbers to play with

And that's just the Southern border of the US. It's only slightly stricter in California, of course, but it's a whole other debate.

Can you imagine how many people criss-cross state-to-state with guns on them because they're allowed?

I bet you'd think twice about winding someone up out there on the road.

Lets not forget Oklahoma, Colorado. Utah is there as well, but because of the Mormons, not as crazy in a gun way but only in their religious way

 

Nevada is not a southern border state however the gun laws in this country are outrageous and the strict following of the 2nd amendment is ludicrous.
