No one does and thats why we take precautions

2018-10-29 00:38:02 UTC  

The real solutions wont be economic ones, they will be social

2018-10-29 00:38:05 UTC  

thats what a personal firearm is for

Additionally, if you take a look at mass shootings in the US youll find that around 1990 they increase in both number of incidents and casualties per incident

2018-10-29 00:39:27 UTC  

Prior to the 1980s most shootings were limited to a handful of casualties and didnt cross the threshold for mass shootings

2018-10-29 00:39:56 UTC  

until you go back to the 20s

2018-10-29 00:40:14 UTC  

In 1990 the gun free zone act was passed through congress. Schools and other public spaces became no gun zones for private citizens.

2018-10-29 00:41:03 UTC  

1990's saw the assault weapon ban too no?

2018-10-29 00:41:31 UTC  

yeap it went through in 1994 i think

2018-10-29 00:41:45 UTC  

thats what the wiki for it says

2018-10-29 00:44:18 UTC  

The gun free zone act was supposed to prevent anger focused shootings in schools by removing the tool from the area. Theory being that if they didnt have immedate access to a gun theyd cool off and decide not to kill.

2018-10-29 00:44:45 UTC  

how often to mass shootings occur in gun free zones? Of the few before 1980, how many occurred in places viewed as gun free (such as churches)?

2018-10-29 00:45:47 UTC  

I can tell you that in the 2000s and 2010s theyve become far more common than they were prior to 1980

2018-10-29 00:46:35 UTC  

i wish people would look at the gun murder statistics and realize that mass shootings are incredibly rate in terms of percentage of incidents, and that the majority of gun murders are gang related. that's where the bulk of the death is, and that's what needs to be focused on in terms of change

2018-10-29 00:46:41 UTC  

The deaths per incident have also gone up on average

2018-10-29 00:46:43 UTC  

interesting as the overall gun violence goes down, mass shootings has gone up.

@Atkins that is true. The media normally only makes it into a public emergency if it happens in suburban white communities

2018-10-29 01:14:27 UTC  

Murder is very common in ghetto communities. More so for blacks but white ghettos are violent as well.

2018-10-29 02:51:48 UTC  

It is also pretty dirty how a lot of statistics include gun related suicides as well.

This segment is a total kek fest:

Bolsenaro is going to be good for triggering the NPCs.

Change my mind.

Modular psu are the best kind of psu

2018-10-29 17:30:41 UTC  

@methdragon this conversation should probably be in here.

2018-10-29 17:30:56 UTC  

Oh ok

2018-10-29 17:32:21 UTC  

Why do you guys say being a nazi is not a crime?

2018-10-29 17:32:48 UTC  

generally what a crime is, is defined by what is illegal

2018-10-29 17:32:53 UTC  

if it's not illegal it can't be a crime

2018-10-29 17:33:02 UTC  

now, in some places it is illegal, so in some places it is a crime

2018-10-29 17:33:05 UTC  

there's also crime in a moral sense

2018-10-29 17:33:06 UTC  

Should laws be updated

2018-10-29 17:33:11 UTC  

you can certainly talk about what *should* be a crime

2018-10-29 17:33:14 UTC  

warcrimes are often legal

2018-10-29 17:33:26 UTC  

Should we punish people for their beliefs?

2018-10-29 17:33:27 UTC  

Nazi hate Jews

2018-10-29 17:33:34 UTC  

They can think it for themselves

2018-10-29 17:33:43 UTC  

muslims hate jews too
