Game Cam Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hey guys/girls, I was just wondering what people's opinions are on this tragic event -https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/madden-19-jacksonville-shooting/index.html Cause I want to go to America at some point to play Airsoft but stuff like this happens.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted August 26, 2018 Supporters Share Posted August 26, 2018 it's scary how we're becoming so jaded with all these shootings in america, it happens too frequently we'll have thoughts and prayers, interviews with the survivors and police, rednecks yelling "now is not the time for knee jerk reactions" and by the time it's faded away enough to start having a proper dialogue about why this is happening it happens again. this has happened too many times now for me to become too emotionally invested, they refuse to change their ways and they're happy to pay the price in the blood of the innocent to maintain their lifestyle, and if that's how they want to run a country then that's how it'll be.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted August 28, 2018 Supporters Share Posted August 28, 2018 How would you propose removing around 357 million guns from circulation? I'm open to practical solutions. Bear in mind that those who would be minded to surrender them are not likely to be the problem. You can make a fair argument that you're safer around gun permit holders than police in the USA. Personally, I'd try and avoid "gun free zone" signs. I won't say "gun free zones", since the sign is not the reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't say "gun free zones", since the sign is not the reality. slowly, i'd put the same restrictions on semi-automatic weapons as already exists for fully automatic weapons and let attrition do the job of getting them out of circulation. then a minimum 6 month waiting time for purchasing any weapon, not a licence or anything, just make you have to wait 6 months between ordering and recieving your firearm. it's not much, and it'll take ages to take effect, but at least it'll be something, which is better than what they're currently doing. and it'll discourage a lot of the "casual" gun owners whilst being nothing more than annoyance for dedicated shooters (ie the people who aren't a problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted August 28, 2018 Supporters Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hmm. "Semi-automatic" covers just about everything except pump / bolt / lever action, and arguably revolvers depending on your definition. It might be too big a slice of sausage to bite off in one go. Of course, the first step would be to overthrow the Federal government, set yourself up as a despot, tear up the constitution, and crush State rights. That's the first practical barrier to solving the problem in the US as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
