Such a safe world.

weak era for planet earth.

Epic display of savagery. In all the chaos and brutality, there is a magnificence at work here. A beauty...

Who need guns.

Who need guns.
Probably him if he wanted to kill 100 instead of 15

You don't get style points that way.

Nah, that's a truck-level body count.

[~primetime~]

Nah, that's a truck-level body count.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Nice France attacker was also shooting people with guns.

He had both an M-16 and an AK

[Raymone]

Neither compare to the airplane-level body count though.

How many did he get with the gun?

Half as many as he got with the truck?

[Raymone]

knife < gun < bomb < truck < plane

We apparently only need to take one of these things away from our citizens though.

Erm, no he didn't. Not that it matters, considering they would've been illegally obtained regardless. The only functional weapon he had was a pistol.

And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but people will always be able to get hold of guns--wishing things were different won't make it so, though that seems to be the summation of your consistently ignorant arguments about guns (endless moans about legal "assault rifles" that only exist in your imagination).

I haven't seen a single source that says he killed anyone with the gun. According to the reports, after he stopped he was taken out pretty quickly.

Dude, let's ****ing ban Japanese people along with the Muslims. /chewing

[Akrazotile]

Ban. Those. Guns.

Police discovered a gun magazine, a pistol, an empty grenade, and replica Kalashnikov and M16 assault rifles inside the truck

Getting a hold of black market guns is hard as fkc and the VAST majority of these weirdo loners who go on killing sprees simply wouldn't be able to obtain them off the street. If military rifles were illegal, then the Pulse shooter wouldn't have had a military rifle, simple as that.

If it were THAT easy to obtain illegal guns then all these mass killers would be using full auto machine guns.

And using knife attacks as an argument to keep military rifles legal is a massive eye roller. NO ONE THINKS GUNS AND KNIVES ARE THE SAME THING. Trying to argue that all guns are equal is retarded enough, arguing that guns and knives are equal crosses into mentally disabled territory.

You guys are a bunch of clowns really...and I'm a fcking gun owner FFS. I believe in the right to own. You idiots do more harm to the cause than good. If you're running around yelling "Look this guy killed people with knives, so that means it doesn't matter if guns are legal" then it makes people with a brain understand which side uses logic and which side uses retarded fallacy.

[~primetime~]

If the gov was trying to take away ALL guns, then I'd be the first to tell them to fck off. But military rifles?...no one needs them, except mass killers, let them go.

There is logical gun ownership debate, and then there is trying to reason with nutty gun fanatics who make the rest of us logical gun owners look like redneck morons.

So please, just stop...stop making dumb arguments so that I can keep my gun.

The street? Try the internet. Anyone who wants to can get a gun off the dark web. You don't even need to know anyone, and almost all of these "weirdo loners" will be capable of it. And no, the fact that people find ways to carry out such attacks without guns (and sometimes more deadly than guns), is obviously relevant to your "OMG ban assault weapons...save lives!!!" ignorant knee-jerk reaction.

Obviously the weapons people can obtain is a factor in mass killings, but it is ONE FACTOR, and far and away from being the most important one. A simple awareness of the fact that these sorts of killings didn't start until the mid/late 1960s, should be enough to rid you of such an absurd assumption. Who is saying guns and knives (or trucks or bombs) are the same? No-one: that's just another one of your fantasies.

And military rifles aren't legal. You aren't worth properly discussing this issue with if you can't stop peddling that propagandistic and factually false bullshit.

edit: pretty sure replica guns are just for show as well.

You don't understand what precedent is do you?

Look at Germany right now: all the gun restrictions in the world, and look how they respond to a shooting---"more controls on guns!"

It is always the same. When whatever law you want fails to have the intended effect (as it must surely do), people will double down on it, and demand more "action" (as always happens).

They fail to mention the 19 people he killed were disabled. Not exactly hard to get to them with a knife.

not sure if stupid or retarded, guns are easy to obtain illegally

[Long Duck Dong]

Funny thing is Japanese don't want Muslims either. They rejected over 99.8% of refugee applications last year. They ended up accepting 27.

Bullshit, if that were true all these guys would have full auto machine guns. But those cost the price of a car on the black market because they are ILLEGAL

I've dealt with the black market for years and owned several black market guns, I've been arrested over a dozen times, in and out of jail my entire 20s. ITS YOU THATS STUPID. You don't know wtf you're talking about. If you think any dude in the US can just make a quick call and have an array of black market military rifles at his disposal then you you don't know shit and you're probably some 14 year old who thinks life is like the movie Goodfellas for everyone.

The first bold implies that you yourself easily did the second bold.

How did you afford all those car-priced firearms throughout your 20s?


For the record I'm with you generally about banning assault weapons that have no real positive value to citizens. But let's not act like these things are hard to obtain for people plotting mass murder. This is not a 'crime of passion' situation where someone is pissed off, goes and buys a gun on a whim and shoots someone over an argument.

People who mass murder with assault rifles plan this shit and know their lives are over. They don't have a problem saving up for and buying an illegal gun. And it's never gonna be impossible for them to do that, legal or not.

Multiculturalism doesn't work. You honestly expect people to assimilate and speak one language if we allow everyone in?? This country would be in chaos. Wisen up.

I said FULL AUTO GUNS cost the price of a car on the black market. I've NEVER come across one.

The black market guns I did own were old junk guns. A .25 from like the 70s, and old ass 9mm.

And that's what's typical in the hood, SHITTY OLD GUNS. And those shitty old guns are hard to get, you have to know someone who trusts you. The Pulse shooter had no friends. All these shooters get their shit legally, it's FAR EASIER than illegally.

When has there ever been a mass shooting with full auto? When has there ever been ANY shooting with full auto??? Youd have to look at cartel Wars at the border to find that. The fact that full auto guns are never used is proof that legality matters . The argument that legality doesn't prevent anything is horse shit.

bbc: ]Such attacks are extremely rare in Japan

japanese also love them school girls

[pauk]

44 victims, 19 died, another 20 seriously injured, another 5 less serious.

He had various knives with him, not ordinary knives, but worlds best / most sharpest knives... it was "tamahagane" (traditional japenese method of forging steel & folding for max sharpness & vigor) kitchen knives and tanto, aikuchi, hamidashi blades (essentially mini-katanas)...

He kinda went ham...
