Those images are so insane when you live in a country with strict gun control. I've never seen a single gun (except on police officers) outside of shooting ranges or hunts in France.

When i arrived in the states, i felt very uncomfortable seeing people walking around with guns in holsters strapped to their belts, it really felt strange and threatening.

Depends where you live. I’ve lived in the states my entire life and have never seen what you’ve described except for cops and the one time I went to a shooting range.

Long criminal history. Released from prison for reasons yet unknown. AR15 and in the last clip looks like he has a smaller handgun when shooting at the pursuing police
Looks like a pretty big hand gun. I'd guess some kind of Hi-Point in .45 (partly on the profile but mostly because it appears to jam on him).

With his huge and serious criminal record how was a) he free, but more importantly b) how was he allowed access to guns?
There’s many ways someone like him could own a gun like that, most unfortunately are legal.

Most of his charges were drug offenses: possession and distribution, which isn’t considered violent or even serious. He was sentenced to 10 years and got out in 2019.

Anyone with half his record should never ever be allowed anything more dangerous than a butter knife ever.

Sad. He wasn’t even aggressive towards the guy or anything just doing his job then gets murdered with an AR-15, truly evil piece of shit..

Constantly at the STD clinic.
I used to be very anti gun but I the past year in my new house, I've sort of had to have a gun. Being more involved in the gun community I don't understand why gun lovers can't see that regulation and control will actually help preserve their hobbies and activities.

The background test for instance is a joke

Are the liberal one or the conservative one? I get the two of you mixed up all the time.

I asked someone the questio what can be done about mass shootings on message board of the nfl team I follow

Remove restrictions that prevent people from carrying firearms.

Mass shooters exploit the idea that they can kill lots of people who cannot defend themselves.

There are deeper reasons for the problem mostly involving the unhealthy psychology of the emerging totalitarian state... but they will take longer to fix.

In the meantime... get back to basics... and remove carry restrictions

Can’t believe I missed this thread. Ban anything that is not a single shot hunting rifle/shotgun and set fire to the second amendment. Two week period to turn them in and 10 year min sentence per gun after that. They are an abomination and an indictment on our species thirst for death.

Men are more violent than women that's a fact, the reason must be on our genes and because we advanced too fast but still an animal inside.
Isn't it all to do with testosterone levels in men? Once science shows women (at birth) how to block'/limit testosterone in their new born male child, the world will be a different place...or so the theory goes!
My reckoning it will be sometime after all vehicles become electrically powered (no more petrol heads) about 20..???

Why would a shotgun be exempt. Surely people can live a satisfactory life without ever firing a shotgun?
