This could just as easily go on the nascent āis it racistā thread, but how comes its mostly white dudes that commit these mass shootings over there?
Could it have something to do with the dream theyāre sold versus the reality they get?

All the black fellas are too busy running away from the PO-PO.
Well thatās true, but thereās been some writing on the black fellas never being entirely sold on the American Dream in the first place.
Which might explain why they donāt go postal when they get bullied at high school or are not on a million a year at forty years old.
Apparently this is the 307th mass shooting in America this year.
Letās face itā¦most seemingly donāt give a stuff unless it affects themā¦then itās too late so a stuff not worth giving in any event.
So often itās said that if more of the good guys had guns there would be less shootings.
Do they mean white good guys?
Not sure about this phrase in the article, they could have chosen a better word
Aurora police chief Kristen Ziman said late on Friday they had information that indicates āhe was being terminated todayā.
Only 4 deadā¦typical sacrifices on the alter of unfettered gun ownershipā¦well worth it donāt you think.
I know that some people donāt like garlic but that was a bit extremeā¦
Seriously though, Iām being pessimistic but I canāt ever see the USA banning firearms- theyāre too wedded to their constitutional rights (which I understand hare being conveniently misinterpreted) and Hollywood to change.
Thatās one genie that simply cannot be put back into the bottle. Too many guns already in circulation, far too strong a gun culture, and way, way too powerful a gun lobby in the form of the NRA. Americans are stuck with guns whether they like it or not, and to be brutally honest most of them do seem to like it.
Think many are also driven by a deep sense of irrational paranoia - from commies under the bed to criminals murdering them⦠all messages fuelled by historic political will and the Gun lobby in bed with Government⦠its and easy win win⦠Government funded by Gun lobby dollars, Government happy to let NRA spout shit about the need for personal freedoms and protection⦠so its free to sell arms to anyone = more jobs making guns and military hardware = more jobs etcā¦
I also think many have some sort of fantasy, they think its cool to own a gun⦠like some hollywood romantic view of power in their handsā¦
ā¦fucked up society. How long before Trump is lobbying his pal Boris to allow hand guns under license back into then UK⦠what with his concern about our knife crimeā¦? Right now, I would not rule it out given how these arseholes think.

Yee Haw. Let them get on with it. They are beyond help and redemption.
Sadly it is self propagating as they reproduce faster than they kill each other.
Now 19 dead.
Iāve seen this on twitter a few things now.
Not checked and verified it but we know thereās a lot in the good old USA .
