Yet another fucking mass shooting in America; 14 dead so far

Post by Transient »

http://gawker.com/as-many-as-20-victims ... 1745757446
The San Bernardino county sheriff has confirmed the presence of an active shooter near the 1300 block of S. Waterman in San Bernardino, CA. At least 12 people are dead, with another 20 are reportedly injured.

The city’s Fire Department says on Twitter that many as 20 people may have been shot so far. A SWAT team appears to be on the scene and emergency crews are reportedly setting up a triage center near the city’s convention center.
It hasn't even been a week since the last one. This is insane. :(

Edit: Death toll rises...

Unless each state enforces border crossings you'll only be as strong as the weakest link. I shouldn't have to explain such a thing to an adult. Your country is flooded with guns.

Apparently the US has 112.6 guns per 100 people, never realised it was just that high.

People shouldn't have access to assault rifles, extended clips and armor piercing bullets. You don't need that shit to kill a deer. Authorities have now stated that the shooter(s) burst into a meeting firing semi-automatic long rifles. It was at a fucking nonprofit organization that helps the developmentally disabled. Of all the targets...

You see, when people want to impose laws or take rights away from everyone based on the actions of a few and they use terminology that is incorrect, it takes away from their credibility. It also makes you question how much they really understand about their own argument.

It's not the actions of a few, though. There's a mass shooting every week in America. I'm perfectly happy requiring people to go through rigorous background checks and licensing procedures to own a weapon capable of mass murder. And what terminology are you referring to?

I am also not opposed to a more rigorous approval process. See my idea below.

Terminology? Magazine vs Clip. There are VERY few firearms that use a "clip". Most semi-automatic firearms use magazines.

That idea is a start, but it leaves a lot to be desired IMO. The idea of requiring a license like you have to get in order to drive a car is a good one. :up:

As far as using the term 'clip' instead of 'magazine', I'm pretty sure everyone knows what I mean and I don't think it hurts my credibility or understanding of the topic, considering how often the terms are interchanged. Besides, I'm not suggesting I be the one to draft new regulations; you and I are not the ones who need to be credible.

Who cares? Americans have a right to own as many guns as they want and if there has to be a mass shooting every other week because of it then it's a small price to pay.
