Warhippy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Let's just make this clear. Guns Do kill people. That's what guns were created for, they have no other purpose. Much like a door was created to open and close and a car was created to go from point a to point b. Guns kill people because that's what they were created for. Nobody can make a statement like "if they were armed this wouldn't have happened" without looking like an unintelligent idiot. If they were armed people still would have died because, and follow along; that's what guns were created for. Another day and another senseless tragedy in the USA caused by guns. Now, that being said. Anyone care to guess if this will be a terrorist act? Or another "mentally ill" individual? The difference?

Tragic news, RIP to the victims. Not sure what a jimmy is, but how many times can we feign surprise or shock when something is so common? Of course it's devastating for the people/families directly involved, but for the rest of us, society-- do we really care? Honestly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when 15 people are killed in an area very close to some of my friends I honestly do care. Shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day we are no longer 'shocked' when something like this happens is the day we've finally lost all humanity. I don't believe that all people 'feign' their surprise or shock when such a thing happens. And the answer is yes, there are still many people in society who DO care.

That battle has been played out though, I hope this leads to some serious anti-gun legislation from the current president or upcoming candidates.

If you're shocked by something and truly care about it, you make changes. You change laws. You do anything to prevent it from happening again. This happens daily/weekly/whatever stat you want to believe, and nothing is done. So how can we pretend we still really care? Of course, there's the initial surprise because it happens suddenly, but then how long before we just go back to our life as though nothing happened. And then the next shooting happens and we're 'shocked' and then nothing happens again...and repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Right, I forgot it's always the gun's fault... Oh sorry. I forgot. Guns were created for macrame right? No? Cooking? Automotive repair? Ironworking? Drawing? Creating? Digging? Oh I know they were created obviously for aeronautics right? Hmmm. Silly me, never the guns fault because guns were not created to kill people but instead have a multitude of beneficial uses to the human race none of which involve straight up killing How ignorant of me to have thought otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwen Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 tweeting and facebooking just give the illusion to others that you care. As I don't tweet or FB about such things, I'm not sure what you are referring to. Unless it's the generalized 'you' and then I still don't agree with you. People show empathy or sympathy and it's only an 'illusion' of care? How do you know for a fact what people are sincerely feeling? It is a sad and tragic day in Oregon... God help us all if people just feel nothing about what happened in Roseburg today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic news, RIP to the victims. Wait until he chimes in on this story. Then you'll see why it's the first thing that inane thought of. I'm assuming that he'll show up eventually to call the reaction "knee jerk" and tell us we're all overreacting. (That is of course, unless he finally hit the last "ignore" button) Right, I forgot it's always the gun's fault... Do you think the body count would be anywhere near where it is without a gun? I don't know about you, but I like my chances of outrunning a knife wielding assailant more than I do one with a firearm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
