Default Gun People / Gun Haters

Please shut the fuck up and stop using this tragedy to get on your soapbox.

Also please don't use this thread to soapbox about whether you like or dislike guns; this thread is only to be used to hate on people who are using tragedies as launch pads to debate, and TMO.

I dislike guns, and my bringing that up is a direct result of the tragedy.

I actually have to agree with hBB here.

Today i've seen more "If more people just carried guns/didnt carry guns this wouldn't happened" comments than ever.

This isn't about guns. It's about a bunch of innocent children being killed. This was beyond fucked up in every sense of the phrase.

I'm going to preface my next statement by saying I am neither for, nor against gun control, but this is fact. Even people carrying concealed weapons fail to use them the majority of the time. This has been shown over and over in tests where a gunman is put into a classroom/mall/whatever, and someone(s) is given a gun to fight back. Most of the time, he isn't even able to pull it out before he's shot. Even people with years of training find it difficult to actually react well in a situation like this.

That being said, it may have made a difference if a teacher had been carrying a gun. We could have 5 dead children instead of upwards of 20.

Either way something awful still would have happened. I agree 100% that it's both sick and twisted to use this as a platform for your gun agenda. Get off it.

Or, you know, if he didn't have a gun, and only had say, a knife, there might have been 0 deaths

This is the perfect time to bring up issues like gun control, or better yet, how we can improve treating individuals who suffer from severe mental health problems.

It is the right time to talk about it yeah but motherfucking vulture pundits have been waiting for this shit, and now they are like alley cats in heat, making hella annoying noises, and stinking up your crawlspace with cat sex. Shut the fuck up, you predatory fucks. A bunch of fucking kids got killed. Talk more about how that is fucked up and bullshit and less about your narrative. You shouldn't be using this moment to talk about gun control or the lack thereof to suit your narrative.

And really, we know it's your narrative. If it wasn't, and you really cared about the kids, you'd have been talking about fucking bomb control for the last decade as the US and Israel have destroyed thousands of children in several countries.

Terrible tragedy my american friends, RIP to those kids.

I Hope you guys find a solution some day, but to us EUs the guns problematic seems quite doomed to go on forever...

If you agreed with him, why'd you get on your soapbox about guns?
