Oh yeah, life is really hard.

Life is easier now then it has ever been. Anyone can be a plumber, and a plumber makes great money. It’s just that few people want to do real work because it’s so easy to live an easy life without working hard.

Young people are still considered kids when in their mid-20s. In my generation you had to be supporting yourself at 19, or at 23 if you went to college. And in my dad’s time it was sooner than that. Life is getting easier and easier, and THAT is the problem. Idleness is acceptable, and practical, now. And idleness is the devil’s workshop, as the old saying goes.

Exactly. Just more sniveling by that pussy.

If you want to label me as something, call me a realist. Most of people in these threads have lost touch of reality. Same shite every day, same arguments, etc, etc

Is there a reasonable way to stop these mass shootings? No. Are politicians going to do anything to stop them? No. Society will eventually change, it always does. Something will happen that will send us all on a different path. So right now this shite is just part of life. I understand no one likes to face reality, but that's just how it is.

I have a better chance of hitting them center mass at one end of a hallway while I'm at the other end, than if I had a pistol.

Id prefer a sawed off shotgun with #1 buckshot but thats just me

Like I heard a man say…
A pistol will go into a person
A right will go through a person
A shotgun with the right load…
Will rip shite off and throw it on the floor

Benelli M90 was my weapon of choice

Sounds like you should take your own advice and not comment on any 2A threads

This is probably the dumbest thing I've read in this thread. Gun technology hasn't been at a level for centuries that would allow a single individual to commit any real mass shootings.

The irony here being that you preface your post with the person you are responding to having posted "probably the dumbest thing I've read in this thread."

Semi-auto handgun technology was first introduced to the market in 1896 with the Mauser C96 "Broomhandle".



Prior to the 1970s almost every high school in the country had shooting teams. Even high schools in NYC had them (students carried their guns to school on the subways in the morning, turned them over to their homeroom teacher or the gym coach during the day, and retrieved them after school for target practice).



Today only around 3%-4% of all high schools have shooting teams.

This means that prior to the 1970s there were FAR MORE opportunities for shootings (especially in schools) than we have today, yet we didn't have them at anywhere close to today's level.

For the most part, the guns being used in these mass shootings, particularly the premeditated school and workplace shootings are not guns that you would take out in the woods hunting,

LOL!!!! Please name me a firearm commonly used in mass shootings which "you would not take out in the woods hunting" and then tell me why you wouldn't use it to hunt with.

When Family and God were out in the back burner by society and became all about me and my truths then morality went out the window. Everything is acceptable so here we are.
