Free weapons?
I guess Luca meant free (access to) weapons.
âŚthen again
50 dead now apparently. I donât give a fuck what dickheads say about owning guns for protection- this cunt wouldnât have killed 50 people with a knife or a stick. The USâ gun fetish is so past the point of no return itâs not really worth talking about. I donât mean to sound callous but this is just the latest in a long line of mass shootings most of which we donât hear about over here. What will happen about it? Absolutely fuck all, except people buying more guns to protect themselves from the terrorists.

Itâs fascinating to watch the difference in reporting between this event, and what happened in Orlando.

Could you elaborate?
Yeah itâs fucked. The gun culture here is way too deep and thereâs no way out of it. Only thing is that maybe we can cut down the high powered weapons and riffles and confine people to just hand guns.
Once again a member of my wifeâs family was actually at the concert. Her cousin, heâs fine but obviously shaken up. Her family is huge, it seems like they are always around these disasters in some way shape or form

Not much to elaborate on. The same type of crime is talked about differently depending on the ethnicity of the assailant.
But you already knew that 
That would have been my first guess. I havenât been following the reporting at all, so I asked you to elaborate instead of assuming the media were up to that shit again and automatically agreeing with you. Wasnât trying to make a sly point or draw you into an argument.
i assume the guy tweeting this is part of the band that was playing at the time of the shooting

10 years ago as a younger man who didnât trust the government i would have argued for gun rights as well. Nowadays there are wayyy too many wackos and they are coming up with new and inventive ways every year to kill as many people as they can. Plus this type of shit doesnât happen in Europe. Of course the terrorist cunts in europe come up with some fucked up ways to kill people as well so itâs not going to ever go away completely but you can definitely make it a lot harder by taking away guns. If your goal is to kill as many people as possible in the fastest way guns are easy mode.

No legislation will come of this, and in a weeks time most people would have forgot it even happened.

I donât think society is yet that conditioned to gun massacres for this to be shelved in a week. At least I hope not
pretty standard practice in america isnât it?
Sandy Hook, Viriginia Tech, Orlando, Elliot Rodgers, San Bernardino.
Every time people said the same thing âweâre not conditioned to it, itâs still shockingâ and yet nothing ever changes.
I mean, it canât ever change, but still.

I know what youâre saying about how nothing will change, but the scale of this still makes it shocking. It wonât disappear from the headlines in a week
If you go to a news channel comment section, it is filled with âProhibitions donât workâ âGun laws wonât helpâ
If only there was a template of the entire fucking world where guns are prohibited and not a single peep about people shooting each other.
Itâs like they live in their own world where America is only country.

Itâs so weird how embedded this seems to be in American culture. Distrust of the goverment.
USA society is so fucked up, guns addiction/fetish, bigotry and drug culture is taking them to a point of no return.
Their precious 2nd amendment does not fit into a modern existence where there are far more people and available guns than there were when the constitution was drafted.
Sooner or later its defenders have to admit defeat and realise - however sadly on a theoretical level - it is more important now to restrict overall widespread access to guns based on the potential actions of the few, versus maintain access to guns for the whole population based on late 1700s America notions of defending oneself from state oppression
The issue isnât the 2nd Amendment, which I support. The issue is the sheer volume of weapons being produced, and how easy and cheap they are to obtain. And thatâs before we even talk about mental health.
Whatâs annoying is itâs actually a very easy fix, without taking away everyoneâs guns, if it werenât for the influence of groups like the NRA.
What the easy fix exactly? Without putting a ban on guns. That seems the easiest fix. 'merica doesnât seem like such a third world country where criminality is souring and all that. Or where dictators are in charge and people need guns.
