Do regular dudes with guns ever stop these mass shooters? I've heard a lot of americans rant about how they need guns to defeat these theoretical threats.

I wonder what would happen in the world if somehow, on one random day of the year, every gun fired just exploded in the person's hands.

I reckon if you stopped reporting on it the shooters would have to do some other wacky thing to get attention :clint:

In the 1500s or some poo poo like that some people just started dancing in the streets in some kind of German place and danced themselves to death. Maybe if someone does that it catches on and america can be known as the place of wacky dancing idiots or something instead i dunno just spitballin here.

Americans take the idea of individual freedom so seriously and dogmatically that they'd rather swallow global conspiracy theories than cover their mouths while coughing.

Any attempt at public good is swatted down as literally communism and people abandon their values as soon as they can cling to a corporation that offers them 40k/yr and health benefits.

Its an incredibly alienating place to live and new mass shootings every week is a symptom of cultural bone-itis.

One thing all these mass shootings have in common is that the shooters all had access to guns and the internet. I propose we destroy all guns and all internets for a better tomorrow.

You're right but unfortunately, people are heavily addicted to both.

My brother-in-law is a gun lover. He has 50 guns in three separate safes. "They're an investment for my kids" is his response when asked. That, or "you gotta be ready for war" to which I respond with "you don't have any RPGs, bro"

It really is. They're not classifying this guy as a terrorist because he's not Muslim but who in their right mind could see this story and not come to the conclusion that he self-radicalized with poisonous amounts of social media and internet?

Someone brought up how Stephen Paddock (the Las Vegas shooter, and I had to go look up his name) was forgotten, well, wasn't it because they could find no motive at all? No writings, no recordings, nothing, he just seemed to lose his mind and decide he wanted to destroy as much of the world as possible before destroying himself? Did I miss something in regards to discovering WHY he did it, even if it's just theories?

Correct, although there was evidence of gambling losses. Honestly the most significant thing from that was The Trump Bump Stock ban and the guys brother got arrested for Child porn and that was it.

The NRA obviously sucks but to answer your question theyve been putting out a newsletter called The Armed Citizen for years that details these exact situations.

no. people think he was probably some psychopath who was doing to be like his dad or be remembered or some stupid poo poo.

honestly VT and Sandy hook and Bataclan shootings are the only ones that stand out to me because i remember where i was when heard about them.
