    As a person who grew up in American schools post-Columbine, with kids in schools now, and none of us are CEOs, this is probably the take that saddens me most about this whole event. It’s our kids, and the argument used to be about freedom. Soon, we won’t even have that. What was the fucking point? (Rhetorical: profit)

    I know we’re all alive at a special time in humanity. We think we’re so civilized. Then I look around, and it’s the same history playing on repeat. When do the monkeys figure out it’s one species? (Rhetorical again: 😬)

    They want to make Luigi an example. “Don’t do what he did, he’s being quickly processed with terrorism added to the charges. You don’t wanna be a terrorist do you?”

      It’s not that what Dylan Roof did wasn’t terrorism, it’s that he wasn’t in New York state. Same with that case involving Trump and property values, never would have been charged in Montana for that, everyone knows assessed value and real value are two different things.

      Too many guns, too many people willing to shoot those guns, not enough politicians prioritizing mental health

          One can be pro-gun and for regulation at the same time.

          Disarm the violent, arm the nonviolent. For life.

          If you so much as strike another person in anger, instantly banned for life.

          Luigi was a non-violent person, he didn’t do what he did to watch a man’s head explode. He did what he had to do

              I wonder how long it’s going to take for you people to join the right side of the class war.

              You are not one of them. The second your child gets sick you will understand

                  You are right, wars are not one-sided.

                  Every single year 15,000 people die just because of the claim denials from United healthcare alone. Under the leadership of Thompson, UHC committed five times the death toll of 9/11…each year

                  1 vs 15,000. Do you attribute more value to the life of a CEO then a working class family?

                  More and more people are becoming suicidal because of the way that this country is turning into the hopelessness that it drives into their souls.

                  Mark my words, this is just the beginning. Why kill yourself when you can take out someone evil beforehand?

      You know that the gun was printed right? You could ban all guns and you would never stop someone from making a homemade gun.

      There are people in European countries where it’s completely illegal to even own ammunition, they are perfectly able to make fully automatic rifles.

      I don’t say any of this as a bad thing btw

      Unless there is a plan to strip violent people of firearms, I’m going to continue to make my own and train twice as much as they do.

      ARM THE LEFT

          Dude there’s an entire community of people reloading their own cartridges. You will not legislate your way out of this.

          There are people creating 50 cal rail guns that use only electricity. No explosions, infinitely reusable
