JFK-1 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 28 minutes ago, Shooter McGavin said: I know every place has it’s tourist hotspots that are more or less perfectly safe, but I think I’ve been put off going to America for life. I’d be on edge the full time knowing just about everyone around me has a gun on them. There are some real nuts, it's disturbing. Sometimes strangers in Oklahoma who have heard me speak around them want to talk to me, it could be anywhere, in a supermarket. It's the Scottish accent. One day a guy wearing a cowboy hat and all starts talking to me, he recognises i'm British, and one of the things he wants to talk about is guns. Among other things he tells me he has a gun in a shoulder holster under his jacket right now. He tells me about things he shoots, which is anything living that crosses his path. Raccoons, armadillos, coyotes, birds, anything that crosses his path. Including, his own exact words, "stray dogs" Somebody's dog is lost, probably on a poster somewhere, this psycho kills it. I can presume cats would get the same. Now this isn't even hunting, this is pure psychopathy, and it's common among these gun fanatics. He's not the only one I have heard speak like that, just this week I heard a woman describe her boyfriend, a "really nice guy" in a similar vein. She can be sitting in the kitchen and there's shot gun blasts and stuff all the time. As he too kills anything that wanders by. And that kind on personality is all around, with a gun.

So let's all watch cctv of the shooter entering the school to kill innocent children. I doubt the community will be watching it, unless they wanted to for whatever reason I suppose.

JFK-1 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 The status quo never changes because even when Democratic administrations do manage to legislate something even small, it's later overturned by the next GOP administration. Biden has introduced new gun laws, which were then made difficult to apply because of a supreme court decision. So now even the supreme court is going to negate any legislation, the GOP doesn't even need to be in office. It's a joke of a court now for a lot more reasons than that.

He lives out in the sticks someplace, there are trees outside. He can hear something moving in a tree, but he can't see what it is because of heavy foliage. But something is alive in there, so he keen as always to kill something blasts away blindly into that tree. I can't remember him saying anything fell out of the tree, but think about that. It could be anything, it could be a kid climbing in the tree. And as I say, he's not unique nor anything like it. Though, to be fair, I know many a psycho back in Scotland I would be even more disturbed by them having a gun than even this American psycho. Incidentally he also said bigfoot is real, and that he has seen bigfoot more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 The problem with America is...well, it's America itself to be honest. I have mates here that have enough weaponry to occupy a small city. Up to and including Barrett Lite .50 sniper rifles. None of them are nutjobs, their hobby just happens to be shooting guns. I've got a SigSauer P229 pistol, and a Beretta 1701 shotgun. Going out to the range is a fun way to spend an afternoon with your mates. Where things go awry is where you have people that clearly should have no ability to get their hands on one, but the sheer number in circulation means that you can't stop that. There is no answer to stop school shootings from a legislative point of view. You can only try to physically prevent it, which in effect means turning schools into prisons. Armed guards, metal detectors, access control. And that is a troubling thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the run for several months during which time he battered a big issue seller he had befriended to death with a golf club and took his identity to sell the big issue himself. He got a minimum 30 years for that so when he becomes eligible for release again he will have served the last 50 years of his life in prison.

I like you as a poster, but you are way, way wide of the mark here. Many mass shootings are an act of revenge. Take the Columbine Massacre for example. Two outcasts that wanted to hurt those that had ostracized them for being 'different'. The trans aspect of this should have no bearing on what happened. Other than the outlying people that just want to kill, the vast majority of people that do these types of things have issues in some way. Mostly revenge, as has been proven in subsequent social media posts, or manifestos they've written prior to the act. Bringing Trump or the left/right divide into is a false equivalence.

Though when I came here I arrived in March and having lived all my life in Scotland I was looking forward to sunny skies and warm weather, now, **** sunny skies and warm weather. I spend all summer wishing it would bucket down with cold Scottish rain. And that's another thing, the rain, it's bloody warm and not infrequently bloody torrential. Just once in my life in Scotland did I see the type of torrential downpour that happens here. And that's while not even mentioning the hailstones as big as tennis balls and the tornados. Though one weather confession, I love the lightning storms, spectacular shit. Like movie lightning, flash and bang at the same time. I was sitting on the patio one time and saw the flash, in fact saw the bolt come down to ground. And fleetingly thought that looked quite close. Must have been no more than 1 second later the most ear splitting bang you ever heard came out of the sky with a shock wave you could feel go through you. And that was my first spring lightning season here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cant be ignored . But the mass media are burying it. It doesnt fit the narrative. Yes all those shooters have 3 things in common. Mental health issues and easy access to guns. And wanting revenge for a perceived injustice or wrong. This is a toxic combination, Are you part of the investigation team? Do you have definitive evidence to prove that the trans part is relevant? It might be the case, but again, you're reaching Triple J. It's not just toxic, its bloody lethal. But are you then making the point that gender identity is a mental health issue? Also, regarding MSM, you're wrong: https://news.sky.com/story/nashville-school-shooting-what-we-know-about-the-killer-so-far-12843858 https://abcnews.go.com/US/nashville-shooter-audrey-hale/story?id=98166039 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/27/us/nashville-school-shooting-audrey-hale.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've fallen asleep and not turned it off when you wake up to the alert you're first thought is, 'are we at war'? 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is the person was a female who identified as a trans person and whom explicitly made threats on her social media about killing those who opposed " trans rights". You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to make the connection. The apologists for her are truly disgusting really. There is evidence to suggest that some people with trans identity had body dysmorphia which is a mental illness.

I provided three links to well know mass media that I found in 5 minutes that showed you that wasn't the case. You have white supremacists that have done pretty much the same thing, and it has rightfully been pointed out. So I will apologize and give you that. But 'evidence to suggest', does not mean 'proven'. So just stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
