The BR/LSU connection has probably been mentioned.

No offense to the father that is claiming he just text him a few days before the shooting, but according to Siahs friends and posts, he was trying to go to Georgia State and pursue his rap career there….
Guessing the “father” is looking for his moments of 15 minutes of fame, not surprising he out there acting like he was about to be a part of his life again

This thread is a great example of why the problem of mass shootings and gun violence will only get worse. Instead of looking for solutions to the problem, the discussion always devolves into arguing pointlessly over guns. I pray one day our society decides to tackle the problem. But I know it’s going to have to get a lot worse first.
Guns have not changed over the last 30-40 years. The much feared AR-15 functions no different than a myriad of magazine fed semi-automatic weapons that have been readily available to the public for over a century.
If the cause of mass shootings and rising violence was access to firearms, then we would not only in the last few decades have seen an explosion in these things, they’d have been happening all along.
So, as I said, guns have not changed. People have changed and this change started to take root on the later years of the 20th century. So instead of wasting time arguing over guns, if we, as a society, want to solve the problem, then we have to face the causes of the problem. Until we do that, it’s only going to get worse. But that’s going to require taking a hard look at ourselves as a society and how we’ve changed.
I think that’s why so many want to blame guns. Because if they were honest and recognized the real problem, it would mean they had to admit many hard truths they do not want to admit. So, instead they take the easy way out and focus on guns while more and more people die.
Sorry for the rant, y’all can go back to arguing over guns now.

While this is just 'my story' my parents and grandparents sold gun accessories and gun cleaning products at gun shows. My dad and and step grandfather actually had no issue with background checks. Law abiding citizens don't mind background checks or even 'stricter' background checks.
I personally don't agree with 'red flag laws' because it could and will be abused.
I don't feel like reading all the pages but you said that you are in favor of 'common sense' gun laws. Please tell me what that would be.
I mean stricter background checks is basically what I am getting to. Background checks for the purchase of ammo may have to be something that is on the table. Regularly recertifying pistol permits (and not abolishing them,) and other mainly mundane nuisances are not protected by the second amendment. I personally have no problem with 18-year-olds being banned from buying weapons until they are 21 as well. It is not like society fully treats 18-year-olds as full adults and smoking and alcohol laws confirm that. Watching the riot in Chicago just because a group of thugs could not enter a venue tells me they are not mature enough to purchase at all. I went to basic at 18, but I probably didn't even need to own a pistol.
I am not pushing to register the weapons or any of that. But some concessions should be made before people start going deeper into gun control. Anybody with half of their brain cells left should see it plain as day that the steep trend of mass shootings is making for a precarious situation in which citizens have to confront the fact that these situations are only becoming frequent, and something has to give.

One could certainly argue that we shouldn't need a permit to carry a pistol. The right to keep and bear arms seems to cover that

This dude will absolutely send your kid to die for him, but wouldn't let him shoot a duck.
Just stfu, half the shite you talk about has a law already.

You said it there, a bunch of thugs. So instead of punishing them, you want to punish all law abiding citizens.

Basic what? You don't bring your own weapon to boot camp.
You make no sense and run from legit questions. Just stfu already. Youre probably a 12yo kid that found this place while being bored from getting beat by 6 years olds on Roblox.

I disagree. The public has the option to stack 50 7.62 rounds in their mag drum and that is not what people had in the past. 7.62 is the same stout round that the 240B shoots in the military.
Any AR10 that shoots with that setup is indeed a weapon of war. Does that mean I would not buy it? No. But I cannot figure out why that setup is even legal. What is the purpose of carrying that heavy arse rifle to the range? Less reloads? Give me a fricking break.

I wish y’all would just start a gun control thread and argue this shite in there.

concessions that do not cause a real reduction in violence will only lead to more concessions. The hatred from democrats is a much higher contributor to violence than ammo access. the destruction of the family is a much higher contributor than bump stocks. the lgbtcqr illogic with trans is a bigger contributor than semi auto. the societal penchant to lying is a bigger contributor than plus ten magazines, the societal acceptance of shop lifting is a bigger contributor than background checks.
The Ten Commandments supported social order for 2500 years, maybe time to get back to it
