“We’ve had slaves for hundreds of years; why should we release them now because of modernity” - white people in the 1870’s

Oga, can you at least give a link to where you fished out this quote? A simple Google search did not throw-up anything.

Lol, Ono. Isn't it the point that no one is stupid enough to claim they shouldn't throw away some 300 year old right the country was basically founded on?

It's why we have amendments. They are the act of throwing some things away.

They've had guns for 300 years, started dealing with mass shootings about 30 years ago. Now they should throw the rights their country was basically founded on, especially after how incompetent proved themselves in this very attack.

Here's some more nearly 300 rights you might want to consider keeping, though some would claim you never lost them.

It is not a quote it is obvious

You claimed because you’ve had gun rights for 300 years it can’t be reviewed. Also white people definitely did claim that they’ve had slaves for years, why should they release them

Common sense

Like I said, mass shootings only became a widespread occurrence within the past 30 years. Thus, indicating that there's another underlying problem that's causing these shootings.

It's more like America has a mix of certain factors that make such shootings possible.

Let's first examine the Columbine shootings with respect to media coverage. The media turned these disgruntled nobodies into infamous figures. This leads more and more people who might be down on their luck beginning to view such actions as a way to gain infamy and take revenge against society. Not to mention, how the internet allows people to create insular communities based on these flawed ideas.

What we need to understand is that these people enjoy the media coverage. They want us to talk about them. They want there to be debates because of their actions. Some serial killers were inspired by other infamous serial killers, likewise this happens with mass shooters.

It's a negative feedback loop and the institutions in place to solve the issue always stay their feet.

The Uvalade shooter had been planning it on social media for years, where was the FBI? The Texas police were on the scene in minutes but didn't have the balls to confront the shooter. Meanwhile a lone woman with a handgun just thwarted another attempt at a graduation party.

the same can be said about the proliferation of assault weapons

not six shooters, not cumbersome hunting rifles, not semi automatics - but weapons actually intended for military use - for massive casualties

that is the underlying factor.

the uk also has disturbed individuals - but how many people can you hurt at one with a knife?

Based, please provide data on the type and availability of the tools used in mass killings in the past 30 years so we can check if there is a correlation. We might find its hard to mass shoot with a rifle.

The following is to start you off.

No, they heavily regulated planes. They created an entire new alphabet soup unit to regulate entry into planes. You are not getting on a plane if the tsa says no.

So, they have regulated entry into planes

Just as driving is regulated

In all of these the end use is regulated in multiple ways. That's the difference

Of course he is not. He is a disgusting human being afterall.

George Floyd's anniversary was a day after the shooting, so Obama was not out of place to call for his remembrance and Bidens signing of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021.

I bet you almost commited suicide the day the judge sentenced George Floyd's killer to 22.5 years in prison.

By the way did George Floyd die of the fentanyl he had imbibed or from a knee on his neck?
