Where, oh where will the next mass shooting be?

In 2018, it was in Florida at Parkland High and at a peaceful synagogue in Pittsburgh. In 2017, it was Las Vegas, where the total of at least 300 made it the deadliest shooting in US History. In 2016, it was at the Pulse Nightclub. So, where will the next mass shooting, indirectly being sponsored by the NRA as their lack of action following this carnage have proven time after time, take place? If you want proof of the NRA doing this, remember how they refused to budge on bump stocks following the Vegas shooting.

If the last three years have taught us anything, it is that psychopaths feel more empowered than ever. And the shootings keep getting deadlier and deadlier as the NRA says it’s not about guns, while victims and witnesses say it is.

Hopefully, this gun control legislation being created in the House can begin to tone down some of this carnage. I don’t know about you, but a safer environment doesn’t infringe my rights.

 

What is crystal clear is that it most likely will be in the US

 

How many of those shootings were by NRA members?

 

Nice troll OP. There is a special section in this forum for that topic which has been rehashed ad nauseam.

 

Liberals are just waiting for some bodies to pile up to infringe upon our rights. You folks aren't at all concerned about the victims of such crimes, only the opportunity to make some quick emotionally based political points. We get it...

 

The next mass shooting will be in a poor, urban minority area. It will be with a black market handgun. And it won't be in the news.

I can predict this because the vast majority of all shootings, including mass shootings, are as I just described.

 

"Where, oh where will the next mass shooting be?"

Almost assuredly in some 'gun free' place...

 

As if another load of fertilizer in the living room would freshen up the house? Last few loads didn't help, so we should do more of the same?

You made ONE statement that is definitive here- "The psychopaths feel more empowered than ever". Sadly, that is most evident with politicians who have lost all sense of direction and purpose, and the wackos they encourage. The left and liberals are promoting low-level violence and extremely irresponsible, reactive behavior. In close proximity to such people, most of us expect trouble and distance ourselves from the crazies- and prepare ourselves to deal with it if necessary.

The key is that it is the deranged people who pose the risk- and absolutely nothing else.
One has to be really naive (bordering on deranged) to think that a violent person who has no respect for law is going to become peaceful because you pass laws taking guns away from those he will probably attack. Actually- the violent person owes people like that his gratitude; they are protecting him by disarming his victims.

1000 good people in a group (or any size) get along with each other, and the presence of weapons does not change anything- because they are good people.

999 good people with 1 deranged psychopathic killer thrown in is another story. Even if you remove all weapons- you still have a psychopathic killer.
YOU HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM- YOU HAVE AGGRAVATED IT.

And check again- the NRA has endorsed the ban of bump stocks. NOT using the same legislation for a load of other crap, but for banning of bump stocks- which won't make a damn bit of difference anyway.

 

Right you are.

 

I thought 58 were killed in the Las Vegas shooting?

And I've yet to see a single mass shooting that would've been prevented or mitigated by any conceivable gun control legislation.

Gun control support is mere virtue signaling.

 

Likely another gun free zone. The mass killers like the soft targets

 

The injured and killed, in total, was more than a fully loaded 757. Bloodiest in US history, I honestly don't know how anyone can defend the NRA after incidents like that.

 

What did the NRA have to do with this shooting?

 

uh, because the NRA had nothing at all to do with it?

 

What do you suspect would have happened differently if it weren't for the NRA?

 

It then would have been Trumps fault...

 

By doing nothing to push for appropriate gun reform, they are condoning the shootings in the past three years,

 

Wrong again. The NRA has indirectly been condoning these mass shootings by doing nothing to further prevent them. Sitting by the sidelines as the NRA has since Columbine is the same as coming out and cheering these massacres on.

 

These shooters wouldn’t be allowed to have their guns inside. Like a nightclub or a casino. This is what happens when you have open carry anywhere.

 

You know you can in no way support this claim.

No, it quite demonstrably is not.

 

If you feel like you have to blame a specific organization or group, maybe you should blame the constitution for equal protection,due process and rights to privacy. It stands in the way of keeping guns out of the hands of crazies. It has much more influence than the NRA.

 

Pretty sure "open carry" had nothing to do with most of these mass shootings.

IIRC, one of the major factors in the deadliness of the Los Vegas shootings was the use of a "bump stock".

from what I've read the primary mover for bump stocks was not the NRA but by advocates for the disabled as the bump stock enables a person with a particular disability to fire a rifle more effectively.

 

The ascendance of the institutionalized "mental health industry" and the nanny state that incentivizes single mother households are far more to blame for mass shootings by crazies than any gun control laws or lack of them.

But sure, if only we had -more- government, the social ills that too much government has caused would go away.

 

All private property owners can allow or forbid weapons on their premises. Nothing to do with the NRA whatsoever.

Try again.

What else do you suspect would have happened differently if it weren't for the NRA?

 

Most are in non gun free zones
