    We don't even have to joke about this now, it's already been done.

    Why the fuck would you want to walk around with a gun anyway, lol?
    They all think they're some stupid Rambo stereotype. Small penis energy, big time.

    I work in education. I don't trust these teachers with laptops, guns are out of the question.

    I think we need to sacrifice a goat and splash its blood on a virgin. Then we need a self proclaimed pastor speaking in tongues while he gets bitten by a rattle snake he's trying to handle. If he lives, Jesus will reveal what his thoughts are on this issue in about 100 years.

    And while I agree, it's not even about that. The last thing teachers should be doing is having to arm themselves because of situations like the above.

    I do believe Sony did this at a God of War event, so that's covered. The folks in attendance were largely game journos, so high likelihood at least one was a virgin.

    It's Texas they already have a law to that effect on the books they will most likely expand it, their solution to gun violence is more guns. You know just like the solution to fires is to pour gasoline.

    We need to arm the good school shooters so they can take out the bad ones.

    The problem is that guns will never be removed from the American culture, period. The people who fight passionately for things they don't understand and don't really care about, think they understand the gun rights issue, and have been convinced the solution is "working as intended, bad apples and all" - and that "no one is taking my gun", etc.

    There is no solution to this problem until the Constitution is rewritten. And that will never happen.

    Yo, so this guy was being chased by good guys with guns and still killed over a dozen kids?

    I'm beginning to think the solution to our gun violence problem isn't actually "good guys with guns", and that the people that keep saying this just like seeing dead kids.

    Undoubtedly. And it will just get worse.

    Under serious consideration already. If not for family concerns, I might already be in Canada.

    There is a terrifying kernel of truth to what you're hinting at here.

    3 guns for every citizen, it's true. However, they're consolidated in a small percentage. I don't think there's even majority gun ownership in the U.S.

    So, targetted confiscation could work, but, again, the police aren't really on the gun control lobby side of it. Those who work forces, etc.

    You'd think that if someone was in favor of gun control, it'd be the police in US.

    But then again, perhaps not. Considering they appear to be gun nuts 1st, and police 2nd.

    They are...selectively. Like when states like TX just open up open carry, they largely push back given the increased risks this puts officers at. Otherwise they're on the other side of the issue.

    We could never hope to even realistically start "getting the guns", even if drastic reform came into law and was upheld by the Supreme Court. Australia proved it works - remove the guns and the gun violence goes down.

    But Merica' isn't the same mind set. Someone earlier in the thread pointed out that every other country with sane gun control laws finds the United States' almost incomprehensible. And the more people try to change it, the more those pro gun people dig in.

    The worst part is that at the core, the gun control peeps think they need their guns to fight the government, if and when. As if the government didn't already have the most/best guns. And apparently none of the pro gun fucks have heard of a tank, either.

    The 90's bank heist in LA taught a bunch of gun-loving idiots the exact wrong lessons.

    Ehh I would not say a small percentage. https://news.gallup.com/poll/264932/...-own-guns.aspx
    Thirty-two percent of U.S. adults say they personally own a gun, while a larger percentage, 44%, report living in a gun household. Adults living in gun households include those with a gun in their home or anywhere on their property.

    Texas is fucky you can buy a gun from the liqour store which i mean to me is really wack. Hey can i get a handgun and 40oz thanks

    id start the removal there. You dont have to take guns from good gun owners but at least making them less excessable from everywhere would probably make a difference

    A dubious honor: We're averaging more than 1 school shooting per week.

    21 weeks into 2022, 27 school shootings in 2022.

    Oh, and we're over 200 mass shootings already, only a bit behind pace to match the 700 mass shootings of 2021 and 600 of 2020, but very on pace to beat 2019's 400 mass shootings.

    Funnily enough that won't really do anything here. He was 18, wouldn't have been allowed to buy beer.
    If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.
