What a perfect racist honey pot. You almost couldn't ask for a better news story - the dude even manages to die in an altercation with police, and it's his own drat fault for crashing the car. Those comments sections must be white hot. "Where were the death panels!? How is a society supposed to function without death panels!?"

Racism is a given when dealing with white people, other than self-loathing white people.

Maybe things are different in the US, but the thing I find scary about the one Facebook photo isn't the skin colour, it's the fact that there's a minor in possession of a handgun, and he appears to want to show the world (in a fairly aggressive way, no less, by pointing the gun at the camera).

The picture with his shirt off is just fine, he looks like a perfectly normal young man (if a little goofy). The picture with the gun is more troubling, for me, and it would be whether the guy in question was black or white.

That photo with the gun is goofy as gently caress. If you find that intimidating you have either never been or known a teenage boy or are a massive racist.

Hell I own guns, but if posing with a pistol like that is normal, I want to avoid the entire country.

e: At least the girl above isn't pointing the rifle at the camera and has proper trigger discipline, but it's still an odd photo to make your facebook pic.

e #2: Also, I'd like to think the girl doesn't have an extensive criminal record, unlike our deceased friend. If you don't find someone with a history of violent crime pointing a gun intimidating well :shrug:

I don't find that threatening so much as I find it deeply disturbing.

Mind you, I do see a clear difference between long guns and handguns, as well as a picture of or with a gun, and and picture pointing the gun at the camera.

Maybe the United States should have regulation that does a better job keeping guns out of the hands of teenagers, then frightening pictures like these won't happen. Eh?

If you are gonna visit somewhere, take up my suggestion about a hospital/clinic or ER room in a primarily white part of the globe. Your tirades about how anyone should be denied patient care because of loving up is astounding to hear coming from a non American (at least Americans have decades of ignorance behind them, whats your excuse?)

I don't know US law that well, but I'm pretty sure minors and felons are already prohibited from owning pistols. If so then he's already breaking the law & better enforcement is needed. If not, if you can suggest a better way to realistically keep guns out of the hands of criminals (keeping in mind there are already ~300 million out there), without inconveniencing innocent people, I'm all ears.

Remember money for law enforcement / health / public services is finite, so please give a rough cost benefit analysis before suggesting something that will bankrupt the USA.

Ahaha yeah it's totally normal teenage behaviour to own a handgun and pose with it in a mirror with a mouthful of cash.

Oh dear don't call me a racist now whatever shall I dooooooooooo

Remember if you're critical of a lifestyle you're a bigot folks. You don't want to be a bigot do you?

The argument has never been "violent criminals don't deserve medical care", but rather "if we have to choose between a normal person and a violent criminal, should we flip a coin or say the violent criminal isn't worth it?"

If there was no-one else in the queue, fine, give the guy the Heart. If there was anyone else who wasn't on the path to becoming a career criminal, give it to them instead.

Ah, that's what I thought. No interest in improving regulation or enforcement, just impotent handwringing about teenagers with guns.

I'm cool keeping things the same; I like my guns. I'm not the one quivering in fear at the super common phenomenon of teenagers getting access to guns though. I accept that this will basically happen in our current legal environment. Maybe ask them what they want to do?

Actually, I am interested, but I think that ship has sailed. Even if it were somehow possible to outlaw all guns - buying them back at $500 ea would cost about $150 billion. Assuming you get 90% of them off the streets in a buyback, and get have a massive law enforcment effort that gets 1000/day off the street - it would take ~82 years to get them all. To put the owners in jail would increase the prison population tenfold.

I don't think you, I, or anyone else in this thread has any realistic and affordable way to stop scum in the US getting guns.

VitalSigns

In addition, guns are big money in the USA and going up against that lobby takes huge resources that are probably better spent elsewhere.

But I don't know, maybe one of the people saying a teenager should never be able to get his hands on a gun has some ideas. I'd certainly be up for hearing about them since the sight of an American teenager with a gun is apparently so shocking and disturbing to some Americans, instead of just the status quo with our current system.

E: Plus I think it's better to let the right come up with gun control proposals. Either it makes for a more productive conversation since it's a collaboration instead of stonewalling, or they admit they don't want any tougher regulation in which case we can just dispense with the "but teenagers shouldn't have guns" red herring since their policy position is that in fact they should.
