Definitely a hero. Glad he was there. Horrible situation for the people there. Safe places to shop and be around and about is starting to slip away. OT: Video games need to no longer allow you to rematerialized / spawn to continue to play. Once you die, you lose all your dumb points and have two weeks off where you are stuck in a virtual library having to read Dante and do math problems to start playing again.
Is that even a remotely realistic question? The question that needs to be asked is how can we improve our society in the USA?
Bingo. These death ideations amongst youth is getting out of hand. Institute the draft and make them dig ditches. Leave the rest of us adults alone.
Depends on the laws of the area. If he was legally licensed to concealed carry and there wasn't anything specifically posted then he was well within his rights.
I think it's a very forward thinking question. To improve our society in the USA, we could begin by eliminating gun violence. JJ's solution is indeed remotely realistic, but perhaps only for a futuristic and much more advanced society.
It’s a realistic question that’s answered in every other country that has strict gun laws…..none. Further your question is to suggest we legislate morality and we can see the answer to that question by looking at our laws against drugs, prostitution, and even auto violations…..you can’t.
Not to beat a dead horse, but given the following chart (2016), what do you think is Hawaii's best course of action to reduce gun deaths? More guns?
Clearly its because Hawaii leads the nation in Good Samaritans per capita. It has nothing to do with their low gun ownership rates
If you want to try and fix the problem, we have to first be honest and determine what caused the problem. Something has changed in the past 10-15-20 years. The only way to fix a problem is to first determine what caused it. I don't think there is any one thing that can be blamed but take a minute and look at what has changed. What has become more acceptable behavior? What have we done different in schools and in teaching? How has our political leaders changed? I think there is plenty of things that have changed that have helped lead to more of these mass shootings, but we will not address them. We will not address them because if we do, we may not be aligned with our teams. This not just a D or R problem and until both sides are willing to point out what has changed, we will have these increased incidents.
Interesting chart. As a counter-point, South Dakota is doing something right relative to Hawaii. Could be that people are really far apart. The long walk to find another human to shoot can change your mind.
Obviously, you can't understand a pretty simple argument or you do and don't want to address it, so you want to pretend I was just making a purely grammatical point and not using it as an indication of how absurd you were being. If you need some help, comparing 30k to 1 as if they are similar is absurd.
Morons and insane people found the internet and started using it to “learn” (misinformation) and communicate. That’s it. That’s what changed in the past 25 years.
