Ten dead in Boulder, Colorado

Most Americans do not wish ban all guns.

All we want is sensible gun control laws

Laws that cannot and will not be rescinded with the next Republican Congress.

Sometimes you make a good post, but this isn't one of them.

"Sensible" is not a term to be associated with the typical gun-grabbing politician.

Nor with someone who voluntarily owns murder tools as a hobby.

Um, aren't you on record as not only not owning guns, but never having owned any?
Has this changed in your long absence?
Why so invested?

Yes, I know, y'all don't like it when the hypocrisy and barbarism of humanity is pointed out.

Sorry, I didn't see a post of yours making that point. All I saw was you building up several strawmen, most of which were unrelated to the topic at hand.

Last time I checked, your ears weren't pointy.

That's true for any politician, not just the "gun-grabbing" ones. Also, the gun-grabbing politicians seem to be in a minority. So, .... not really an argument.

If you can laugh at it, then it’s not a serious problem. And since admitting that it’s a serious problem would mean having to think of a solution....

Met me in real life, have you?

You are who you pretend to be.

wordforge is "read only" on my work computer. Good name change on the thread - the title was off-putting.

allow the internet to explain it better than myself:

Anc has guns too, and shooter. You don't know me in real life but believe it or not I own a gun (and have handled them professionally for many years) yet I haven't done anything unreasonable with them.
Imagine that!

A lot of blue checkmark Twitter folks going off on the "white guy" who shot up the place

Did you not earlier today say that we should always consider that there's "a real person" posting on the internet? Interesting that you now want Lanzman to leave the planet.

oh it can indeed still be a serious problem thus the need to laugh. Were you ever in the military or law enforcement? It's called "gallows humor". Google it for details.

I'm a Candyman, I watch all of you through every reflective surface.

"In 2020 in Chicago, there were 4,115 shooting victims resulting in 769 shooting homicides. In other words, every 4.6 days there is the equivalent of what just happened in Boulder. If you do the math and include the total victims, not only those that were killed, every 23 hours 10 people were shot in Chicago. The vast majority of these shooting, if not all, are carried with handguns, not rifles."

So let me get this straight: blacks killing blacks BY THE HUNDREDS in one city * year - after - year but NOW when a bunch of non-blacks get shot down it's a problem?
Damn that almost sounds like racism right there. Just sayin'. Yes most were killed with handguns but Biden & Schumer are preaching about banning "assault rifles" and large capacity magazines.
At least the ONE PERCENT of the people killed by AR style weapons annually might be safer, so there is that I guess. Any thoughts?

* Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans, pick almost any large city

You must have missread Lanz's post or mine. But, I copied what he posted and changed the wording. I didn't wish Lanz to leave the planet, he did.

Some real people actually DO need to just fuck right off.

Please, I respect your mom too much to "kiss and tell". That said I can't accuse your fat weak ass of being the military type, so ya got me there!

They're both problems and really this just speaks even more to how badly some form of regulation is needed in your country

That is if you gave a fuck about people in your country, which you obviously don't

What's the joke then?

Sometimes humans are a savage tribal species prone to violence at any provocation and also engage in mass warfare against any tribe that dares to hold beliefs that are wrong. But viewing humanity with contempt is wrong because a handful of the baboons manage something nice once in a while.

Great Maker, I need off'a this rock . . . - Lanzman

Here's what you said:

But viewing humanity with contempt is wrong because a handful of baboons manage something nice once in a while.
Great Maker, please remove Lanzman from this rock.

Apparently you want Lanzman removed from the planet. In other words to not exist.

Fat, perhaps. Weak? It's had several rums, a curry AND a burrito and it's STILL holding my bowels in.

This sphincter could hold back Thanos.

No I just think that black lives matter just as much as white/asian lives. A few days ago there sure wasn't much national outrage over HUNDREDS of blacks dying from gun homicides annually but around a dozen non-blacks killed? We better do something IMMEDIATELY! I don't expect a racist like you to understand the double standard.
