The threats are too late. I’m pretty sure the next part of the threat involves having more guns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted April 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2023 For what it's worth my wife and I both voted for the candidate in the Denver Mayoral race who was standing for gun reform. I believe the statistic is in the mid- 70% of US citizens who want sensible gun reform. The loudest voices are those on the pro gun side but they are in the minority. Sadly the politicians are bought and paid for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot along with father. Absolute madness whats happening there Honestly, I'm starting to think this is a much deeper problem than just access to guns. Not in any way shape or form pro-gun, but what kind of mentality do you have to have to try to end someone's life because they accidentally pulled into your driveway, accidentally thought your car was theirs, accidentally rang your doorbell instead of the neighbours', or accidentally had a ball bounce onto your property? And it's not even a one-off incident too. The mentality of people..."in retribution to this person annoying me by accidentally showing up at my house instead of my neighbours', I think it's fair that in return I end their life", like death is no big deal. Yes, these incidents very unlikely to happen with strict gun laws, but that's beside the point I'm trying to make here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) You look at those gun advertise for kids and you realise many many Americans are being brainwashed. From cradle to grave they're taught owning guns and shooting things is absolutely normal. The gun lobby is actually a cult. They've created a nation of obsessed gun fundamentalists.

It's so entrenched. If, I don't know, a bunch of guys mounted the roof of The Super bowl with machine guns and gunned down 5,000 people, what would the reaction be? Oh dear, thoughts and prayers. Need to increase Superbowl security. They had that Las Vegas country music festival thing, almost forgotten already. I'm certain there is literally no tragedy now that would change anything. I'm a little suprised we've not seen an active shooter at a NRA meeting in all honesty, someone whose relative has been a victim of one of these shootings taking revenge on the enablers.

Totally being flippant here, but some might even say the players should carry guns in their uniform to be able to protect themselves at all times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
