The Shooting Gallery: Police Violence MEGATHREAD

Vetoed.  Let's move on.

Yeah. If you want strict gun control you need to move to another country. Sorry.

I don't think fingerprinting or more background checks would have done anything about this guy.  He didn't have a record, apparently.  Orlando dude didn't either, did he?

Well that is the thing. If you are going to commit some kind of terrorist attack with the intention of being killed or taken prisoner then you probably are not some kind of criminal who is going to stick out. That is kind of a one off.

Okay, so then why would getting rid of the 2nd amendment, fingerprinting, and background checks have made it so we don't have to wake up to this kind of shit, if you're still going to allow guns for other stuff?

I don't know. That is why I was agreeing with you.

Ah.  Right. 

[Hamilcar]

I blame all the angry studies departments churning out people with such a deep sense of their personal oppression. Ethnic studies professors preaching victimhood culture are at the root of this. Defund the humanities now.

Working on it....

Sounds like they captured both of them. Hope that cop in Missouri is alright.

Intersectionality kills.

[Admiral Yi]

I admit it. I'm okay with being worse than Obama.

Fuck the second amendment. Take that shit out of our Constitution. You want guns for target practice and hunting? Fine. No problem. You go through a full background check, you get finger-printed, and smile for the camera. Other than that, get rid of the goddamn guns.

So tired of waking up to this bullshit. 

What does a full background check entail, and what are the disqualifyers?

[Valmy]

Besides don't states have the authority to institute something like a thorough background check currently?

that's why you ban semi-auto rifles. no reason for people to own those beyond the shooting range
