Hmmm - person with documented mental illness in possession of a gun - where have we heard that before. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Feb 17, 23:54

Endless array of mass shootings in the USA with automatic weapons. Pay attention. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Feb 18, 12:14

They're not "automatic". If you're going to spew your "righteousness", get it right. Else you just look stupid. {nm} Scorpion Feb 18, 17:40

Pay attention. Those mass shootings weapons were mostly semi-automatic or fully automatic weapons. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Feb 18, 20:27

Name a recent mass shooting where a fully automatic weapon was used in the US. Cause I think you're the one that needs to pay attention {nm} Scorpion Feb 19, 05:12

I'm guessing it's pretty rare, since fully automatic weapons are so tightly regulated. {nm} RogerMore Feb 19, 07:05

There's 240,000 fully automatic machine guns registered in private hands in the U.S. Expensive, but not difficult to obtain. Scorpion Feb 19, 13:24

So you obviously agree that making guns slightly harder to get hold of = fewer shootings. That's great! {nm} RogerMore Feb 19, 13:33

No, I do not agree with you. And it's clear that your argument using machine guns is so utterly baseless it's ludicrous. {nm} Scorpion Feb 19, 15:12

I'm confused. Your argument was that fully automatic weapons are rarely used in mass shootings. You agree that automatic weapons are more RogerMore Feb 19, 15:22

Yet, making a semi-auto weapon full auto is trivial for anyone that can use a power tool & the Internet. Scorpion Feb 19, 16:01

That completely avoids my simple question. RogerMore Feb 19, 19:55

And you're avoiding the fact that they were rarely used even before the regulations were tightened in the 1980's. Scorpion Feb 19, 22:10

I'm not trying to get you to agree with me - I just want you to understand how bad your argument is. RogerMore Feb 20, 06:43

I've given you perfectly viable reasons why you're premise isn't as solid as you think it is, you simple don't want to hear it. Scorpion Feb 20, 10:20

I should clarify a few things here... RogerMore Feb 20, 12:30

Mass shootings in the US typically happen in "gun-free zones". accountant_4_Jesus Feb 19, 14:30

Mass shootings are a far bigger problem in the United States than other countries. Why do you think this is so? RogerMore Feb 19, 15:54

There are a few reasons, most of which are controversial and I don't want to go into at this point in time. accountant_4_Jesus Feb 19, 16:03

You can email me if you want to keep it off the boards - but if not, have you been to America? RogerMore Feb 19, 20:34

Try comparing countries of similar populations and population densities. Scorpion Feb 19, 16:07

These are all liberal, urbanised democracies based on shared philosophies like the rule of law, liberty, freedom to live your life RogerMore Feb 19, 20:07

Your examples included robberies (which are not mass shootings) and some of the armed citizens are off-duty/retired police officers. {nm} Antibody Feb 19, 16:55

As John McClane is fond of saying, 'If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem'. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Feb 18, 12:21

Hmmm. Funny you'd say that... {nm} eyescovered Feb 19, 09:15

Sad story. It's ok she off'ed herself, did she have to off the dog, as well? Plenty of people would be willing to take it in. {nm} elchan Feb 18, 09:05

Life is precious and irreplaceable however, people are not {nm} wroberson Feb 19, 00:15
