Canada don't have the culture that underpins gun rights in America.
perhaps. but common sense says, these shooting are not acceptable. There is no will because of open corruption.
I know hunters who are all for common sense gun laws. Of course you have the ones who believe their guns will be taken away. Where is the misinformation coming from?
Semi-auto just means that when the trigger is pulled, the gun discharges a single round, then places the next round in the chamber itself. Many "hunting rifles and handguns" that you speak of are semi-auto.
I agree with the rest of your post. More should be done and there are options that are readily available to be examined that would still comply with the country's Constitution.
The NRA, talk radio, Fox News, and the Republican Party
Yes. I do hope there are millions of Americans that see that too and do everything they can to change things before it's too late. There's so much about America that is wonderful, and it's very much in the planet's interests for things to turn out well for you.
exactly. They need to be called out on them.
I dont agree with a blanket ban on guns either.Start there and say what we are for
It will take someone from that background and speak to the truth with courage. A war vetren or someone with a blue color rural background.
We have people like that.
Just moving to candidates. The DNC should not slice and dice its electorate to try and win.
It should be an American party.
Start there. The party will then find its voice.
All our culture needs to be embraced.
That's what worries me. I want to grab people by the collar sometimes and remind them that we thrust ourselves into this position in the world so we'd better figure our shit out
Dude I know. I just stay in my office sometimes lime today. Laughing about trash pickup while people running for their lives. Laughing. I can't deal so I close my door and put on my headphones before I go crazy.
I try to show kids the news and tell them about wtf happened in LV, but I have to call them down and call them out on being too stuck into their fecking phones to see wtf happened. Infuriating.
At least theyre kids. I'm dealing with professionals
True that
Alumni. It pisses me off. Kinda like the German twat.
Laughing at 59 people dead and the response ast 9am Jesus couldn't they pick up some trash on the way out.

This cnut makes me want to smash things. I swear I can feel the veins swelling in my neck
Oh look, Piers Morgan being a cnut.
In other news, the sun rose this morning, and will set later today, water is wet and according to some reports grass is green.

That's an optimistic way of looking at things. You really cannot be sure.
Piers Morgan, however, will continue being a cnut even if the world ends.
Obama was blocked from introducing gun control by republicans, now republicans are attacking Obama for not introducing gun control?
What do we make of Michael Moore's conclusion in Bowling for Columbine that it's the media over and above gun laws (or lack of) that account for the mass shootings in America?
I remember watching it the first time and buying into it. Now I still see his point but think it's a very naive documentary.

What’s quite impressive here is he’s managed to somehow still come across as a thunderous cock womble on the one and only issue he’s ever taken a reasonable stance one. Hats off to him for his boundless capacity to make people hate him.
It's impressive for sure. Shame he can't take off his partisan blinders and aim his frustration where it belongs, with his pals in the GOP.
Posting these stats in two different threads as relevant to both.
Well, I know what the Bellringer question at the beginning of class is going to show today.
Obviously that shows that if every single citizen was armed, like on the battlefield, less people would die. Durrr.
But really. I can't wait until I get a kid to say he wants society to be like a battlefield. Up pop the picks of Syria!
I found an interesting explanation for the American rights viewpoint of the matter:
Check's out with their argumentation in regards to health care.

Piers is a bellend who simply shouts down anyone he interviews. He's every bit as bad as that idiot Hannity on Fox
"What are you going to do about it?"
"we're not going to do much of anything hopefully"

btw the 2nd amendment has been misinterpreted. I do remember this discussion that it was meant for state millitias not for individuals.
But very few in congress will have the guts to restate this.
Also I under the midfications that allow semi autimatic weapons to make them automatic weapons are legal. Make them illegal to be sold.

He was banging on about it in the USA as well without getting anywhere. It's just that now he can shout down people because he's the Kingpin on GMTV"What are you going to do about it?"
"we're not going to do much of anything hopefully"
Or most other laws intended to protect the public. I can drive safely above the speed limit. I’m a great driver etc.
The way the the American constitution works, it isn't necessarily a missinterpretation. It's an interpretation currently hold up by laws and by courts. Thus, it's the current interpretation and the right interpretation. Very few things are explicitely stated in the American constitution.
Free speech and freedom of the press didn't mean much when the US felt the need to criminalize communists and their publications in the early 20th century.
The Bill of Rights is just a convenient prop used to justify political and economic interests of the American ruling class.
It's both a flawed and fascinating piece of legislation. On the one hand, the constitution is flexible enough to have stayed in place for 250 years, something constitutions rarely, if ever archieve. On the other hand it's way too flexible in case the federal and state legislations agree on something. Your's is on example, others are the Japanese Americans in WW2.
Is that a thing? Isn't it just the rich? Or are there poor people that are considered part of the ruling class there, as in the UK?
this is important. It can be changed.
The rich and powerful.
Noble sentiments like 'the pursuit of happiness' are all fine and dandy when you keep your head down and make profits for the masters. The moment things went south they have no qualms infringing those 'sacred rights' as freely as they wish.
There are many instances throughout the history of the US when constitutional rights of one group of people or another have been infringed upon and often done with public acquiescence. The interpretation of this or that clause has never been the issue.
