Subject: Sooo......Shootings [Come On In, Not A Stupid Post]

"Through the fog the army moves on. Pushing through borders. Knocking over obstacles. Killing all enemies. Victory is secured, brothers, march on until the flag rises over the landscape."
The Holy Council

Sure have been a lot of them lately. Or more media coverage? It's a big country. I think the events are horrible, and you should think so too. Little kids drawing Santa getting shot. How cruel can you get. And I'm sure we all thought all about this whole end of the world bull -blam!- story. Don't make me laugh. But how can I laugh after so many dead people. Even kids now.

I suppose talking about laws isn't really politics. But to anyone who thinks taking guns away will solve this is a marvel of stupidity. Take away guns. Okay. So people don't have guns. Guess what. You've just been held at gunpoint.

Criminals don't obey the laws. Let's say all guns are absolutely confiscated for some reason. This would take a while. Then you get stabbed. Take away knives. They hit you with a crowbar. Take those away? How about every dangerous weapon? You know how we would live? A crime free country? Pre WWII Germany with rubber rooms and no items. You would see cops and even soldiers up and down the streets, maybe in your damn house. That what you want? Now you're safe. I'd rather die than live in that world.

In conclusion I believe what we SHOULD do is mourn the losses and send the criminals, if they didn't coward out, to prison or even to lethal injection. Just move on. Don't take away my rights for the illusion of security. You have a better chance of dying by getting hit in the head by a falling coconut than dying by terrorism. Have fun being 'safe' because you are at your weakest now then you ever were.

Breaking news: The latest spree of killings has been blamed on the new Peter Jackson film The Hobbit! Officials say John Smith went insane and began shooting up pedestrians after watching the filming and finding it so utterly appalling. More on this story as it develops.

Oh no! If only I had that secret gun in the back of my head that the gunman holding me hostage couldn't see before I used it and shoot me down!

The safest society is one in which nobody feels the need to hurt other people for no reason.

People aren't machines that love everything. Better to hate something or someone and love a lot than everyone playing kissyface.

Clearly not true. If we're talking about hypothetical societies the safest one is clearly one without weapons.

We all have hands and feet, do we not? Therefore, every society on this planet should be considered the safest

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

I agree, taking guns away will solve nothing, one could say it leaves us with less defense, or even give them an advantage.

But in the end, what we should do is indeed mourn those who lost there lives during these events.

Though, i fear things will only get worse as time flows ever onward, i think this is only the beginning, and we might not be able to stop it, lets hope that this madness ends soon, before it escalates.

The coverage, or the shootings themselves, should go down after the 21st.

If this goes on you can kiss the 2nd amendment goodbye.

Overall, Australian/NZ society is much safer than US society. We have strict gun regulations.

Whut.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Posted by: Achronos
Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

This just in: the UK is a totalitarian society according to OP. OP also reports that Australia is a totalitarian country. More on the hour.
