What’s hilarious is he was arrested in part for carrying brass knuckles.

can't have that, he might hurt someone with themEntire back & forth…
What a scary country where a woman like that can stand up on a podium, spout bare faced crap and not be considered unusual. And she's not even one of the nuttiest ones.
Guns have more rights in half the country than women do.
She’s on a roll today…
Absolute wacko country, no disrespect.
Like I just posted in the Abortion thread, this country has shit the bed as bad as Spud did in Trainspotting.Absolute wacko country, no disrespect.
Well I was about to post something moderately supportive of her earlier comments but feck that.
I don’t even know who you are anymore.
Over reacting much?
I don't particularly like her and fund her pretty daft but the media obsession with her is getting inane.
it's just that I took a firearms safety/hunter education course when I was around 13 and think things like that could be helpful. Before that though kids should only be told "guns are dangerous, if you see one, don't touch it' like they did with drug needles back in the day.Perhaps, but you have to remember who her followers / constituents are. She does like to make a spectacle of herself…
This is Mejbri’s fault.
Again I think the media is getting a bit hysterical over her , you have to remember that in the end she's the representative of her congressional area and by all means she has a very high approval over there and it's to be said that the job description is in the name, she's supposed to represent her constituents and they seem to like her so it's just what it is.
Folk exist that think like her whether we like it or not and they think she's doing a good job of representing them , I imagine this to be the case with some of the lefty ones so who care what dumb shit they say as long as the folk voting for them are content.
I just hope this culture war shit dies already but I'm afraid that's too much to ask, it's getting exhausting at this point.
You’re about to see a quantum leap in intensity in the short term.
Well that's the old school way of going on about it which included myself as well but I don't know, if you're going to raise your kid in a city it might as well be better to tell him not touch a gun at all.
I avoid social media but it seems to have found it's way to normal news publishers as well.
Might as well ditch all of it altogether.
This election cycle might be epic.

Meh, I doubt it's going break the 90 year precedent of the ruling party not losing seats i suppose the question would be by how much , especially considering the state of economy which is usually the biggest indicator of how things might go.
2024 should be a shitstorm however which might get even worse if we end up in a recession.
If I'm remembering correctly the only time the ruling party improved their state was with fdr and Bush and it probably had more to do the with the extraordinary circumstances then anything else.
Don’t think it will break the cycle either, I said that in regards to the culture wars that will exist this election season.
Yeah you're right, it's gonna be bad.
I think I'm gonna stick to football come autumn.
It is but I think getting them with the safety aspect at the right age goes a long way to developing respect for their destructive power. Avoidance doesn't do that and it being America there's a high chance they'll end up with or near a gun at some point.
Fair enough, I guess it depends on the kid as well because I don't really trust some 13 year olds of today to handle a gun or get near one but perhaps I'm being too much of a boomer.
Well to be fair, when I did it the theory came first, then the test and you only got to shoot if you passed.
Yeah, that's how it should be done i imagine.
Shooting in an Oslo Gay Nightclub Tonight
2 dead so far, several injured.

All for gun control, but stopping anybody from doing anything they'd otherwise be able to do because they don't have a facebook or twitter account can feck right off.
If someone doesn't have Facebook or Twitter, I assume it can only reflect positively on their character and conduct.
Seems like there's been an incident in Denmark
Yep. Several dead and injured. Perp is a 22-year old Danish man.
You can find videos online of the guy walking around the mall and saying some weird stuff ("Kill me, this is not real, you are not real, etc."). Seems like a mentally disturbed young man. Seems to have been armed with an older bolt-action hunting rifle or similar. No telling what he could have done with a semi-automatic rifle.
Handgun as well apparently.
Seems so. Just saw an absolutely insane clip of the perpetrator chasing people on foot in the mall, while yelling. Absolutely terrifying.
You can see the gun in this picture. Lower left corner. Thank feck he didn't have access to an automatic rifle.
