Stupid Gun news of the day (Part 1)

Rape any toddlers today?

It was still the Bill of Rights the last time I checked. Now if you can initiate a successful referendum to have it reclassified as the Bill of Privileges, you might have a point.

If you’re referring to the post below-

-I took him to mean that proficiency standards are fine, but not if they deliberately call for a ridiculously high level of mastery simply to deny as many people as possible; and that in any case it would do little to prevent premeditated shootings. I don’t believe he was referring to mental health standards

My condolences Czarcasm; there have been calls for better mental-health screening but ironically that’s sparked a backlash against “stigmatizing” the mentally ill. And if the V.A.'s track record of imbecilic bureaucracy when it comes to determining who is and who isn’t a threat to themselves and others is any indication, such screening would probably be “imperfect”, to put it kindly.

No, I didn’t. I never have and don’t see myself ever doing that. I think it is evil. It is your buddy ElvisL1ves who is strangely reticent on the topic. Plus, of course, there is the fact that you are catastrophically retarded confusing things for you. Tertiary syphillis is a terrible thing. If only your father hadn’t had that penchant for visiting prostitutes on the sly…

I don’t know what “virtually everyone” means to you but in this context, “virtually everyone” means “almost everyone” or is this the first time you have heard the phrase virtually everyone? I have already said that I don’t think guns should be accessible for prohibited persons. I don’t get your misunderstanding unless the misunderstanding is deliberate (or you are a total moron).

Dishonesty and stupidity are both very safe bets when we are talking about ElvisL1ves.

The patriots turn out to guard the Army:

What could possibly go wrong? :dubious: :smack: :eek:

It already went wrong.

Well, it’s time again to reset the “Days Since the Last Mass Shooting” counter. Two dead (including the shooter) and eight wounded in a theater in Louisiana.

Your prescience astounds me.

It was bound to happen. The guy is an idiot.

Look, I was concerned after 9/11 when I saw armed National Guardsmen guarding the Golden Gate Bridge - they were carrying their rifles, but I could not tell if they also carried ammo. Seems silly to not carry ammo, but if they did have ammo then I was concerned about their training level. Were those guys infantry or otherwise field soldiers in combat MOSs who train regularly with their weapons? Or were they desk clerks, cooks and supply warehousemen who touched a rifle once, in boot camp?

I remember being stationed at Treasure Island in San Francisco. One sailor was walking by, saw my weapon and said in wonderment, “Oh wow, is that an M-16? Can I look at that?”

And more . . .

It seems like this is happening more frequently. Is that true, or just my perception? If so, things just might have to change.

Do local incidents get more national coverage than they used to?

Here’s a recent Washington Times article on how there have been 204 mass-shootings in last of 204 days of 2015. Pretty eye-opening, to say the least. Mind boggling, actually.

I wouldn’t use the adjective interesting to describe anything at all from that rag.

Truly stupid gun user news. These idiots thought that it was a good idea to take propane tanks into the woods and shoot at them with a variety of weapons. During a drought. It resulted in a 100 acre wildfire. All three were arrested.

Call me a masochist, but I clicked the link and started reading.

It seemed factual!! Indeed rational!!! What is the world coming to, when Washington Times gives up its credentials as lying and brainless, even out-Foxing FauxNews?

I was so confused I checked the URL. Ionizer’s “Washington Times” link is actually a link to Washington Post. :stuck_out_tongue:

Rick Perry just waded into the Louisiana movie theater shooting.

Look, I may not have an answer but does anyone reading this REALLY want to make going to the movies more like this…?

:confused: What does the link have to do with the topic?
