ya, but too advanced.

Ok.... so just so I am clear. When I suggested we get stricter laws in hopes to curb school shootings and the like you pointed me to the fact that they would just use bombs and cars like in other countries.

But when I point to Australia who had an active shooter problem and then following Port Arthur they banned most guns, that is somehow not relevant.

Interesting.

You can get the same BK with very simple means. @Maw

That is my point. You cant guard against humans wanting to kill humans.

gun laws will do nothing.

Because they have a different culture, try taking American's guns, I guarantee you I know what happens if you try this. And it will not go like it did in the AU.

Different culture.

Again.... if we concede that is true... your pointing me in the direction of other bombings outside the US is equally invalid.

Very few people are aware of this, but pre gunpouder europe had several events of terror that killed hundreds. Can anyone guess how?

you are trying to use it both ways

Yes, because removing guns make american mad, murrica boom.

Sorry, was trying to make a funny comment, not like, mean anything by it.

Stealing the food.

@Maw diseased piglet in well.

Poisoning well.

Yeah.

Was about to say.

If we limit access to guns they will just use bombs like in other countries is what you are saying....

But when I say, well the got very strict in Australia who had a similar gun culture and they are not experiencing any bombings you tell me "different culture"

Im kinda shocked you cant see how you are trying to have your cake and eat it too

Yes. Like we see in vehicle attacks in europe.

When you're talking mass-casualty events.

Vehicles have difficult time fitting into classrooms

Not if they're big enough.

wow really?

Really.

These people were convicted of witchcraft, and so these important cases of terror was lost to the criminologists. If you look carefully, however, you see a wave of terror across europe in the 1600s.

No guns, no bombs.

Semis rip through brick walls with ease.

Are you seriously trying to suggest that if we were somehow able to restrict guns enough to stop most school shootings that they would what... buy a fucking tank?

you are joking right?

... tank?

wat

I feel like you are just pulling my leg here

maybe I am missing your sarcasm.... you can't possible really think that vehicles can be used to drive the halls of schools and mow down kids and teachers with equal ease as guns

Not to drive down halls, no, but they absolutely can be used against schools and produce a mass-casualty event?

You are getting close to a top tier event now, Maw. Stop maybe?

I can't even believe we are having this conversation. So, I will leave it here. As a teacher I am far far far more concerned about a handgun or handguns in a backpack, or long rifle of some sort under a coat than I am a vehicle crashing through concrete block walls.
SMH....

There are much, much worse alternatives -- I'll leave it at that.

thanks!

As heartless as it may sound to say it.

Hey everyone! Hope you all have a great 2021!
