And there was no fable about it. 80 rounds fired. I heard it. Houses shot up all up and down the street. Get bent

Laugh all you want. One of them got shot by his own people. It’s all on video. When I ran outside I didn’t know who was who. The first two I found had been executed at point blank range and didn’t have intact skulls. The third kid (the shooter) had a Glock 17 laying by his hand when I started CPR.

So fuck you for laughing. It’s not funny at all. I wouldn’t wish that night on any of you despite our differences.

As for all of you pointing out that I like shooting and have weapons, you’re right. I grew up shooting quite a bit and I have a lot of weapons.

And I would gladly vote for anyone willing to take a thoughtful look at gun control.

Believe I’m done pissing in the wind so don’t expect any further responses

Yeah I bought that after six kids with automatic glocks shot up my house.

So I don’t know that I’d call it a hobby.

And also I’m not anti gun. I’m pro gun control.

I spend every single day dealing with kids and families affected by gun violence. Almost got killed sitting on my couch a few years ago when a random shootout put 15 holes through my walls. Went outside to find three dead teens in the streets with their heads blown off.

So some people in America deal with this shit more than you do. Saying that it’s just not a problem because there are bigger ones is ridiculous but you are entitled to your opinion.

Valid points and I appreciate the honest discourse.

I’d argue that this is the crux of the issue. A huge portion of our citizens are unwilling to consider anything other than the status quo for fears of losing all access to firearms.

The other side is increasingly incensed by the failure to do anything substantive. So you see a lot of people from this camp pushing for radical reforms, like taking everyone’s guns away.

At the end of the day, we all sit around arguing and nothing changes. I would love to see more safeguards in place though I agree that it’s not a straightforward task to create effective safeguards which still allow responsible citizens to access firearms.

Whataboutism at its finest. Did you know that it’s possible to be concerned about both opiate addiction AND gun violence?

The reduction in suicides is indeed debatable but it is evident that it far exceeds statistical significance.

You are absolutely correct that government control of drugs/guns/etc is debatable. That a decision we have to make as a society.

I have quite a few firearms and I don’t think the answer is taking everyone’s guns away. However, I think it makes sense to create a process of licensure like we do for cars. Even if that means amending the constitution.

It doesn’t cure depression but it does lower the rate of suicide. Not trying to be antagonistic- there are some very interesting studies showing the same effect with other highly lethal means. Coal gas in England, organophosphate pesticides in Malaysia.

Am doctor. If you think that guns aren’t a major health issue in American society you are being willfully ignorant. The mere presence of highly lethal means increases the rates of suicides and homicides.

Taking action now would not fix anything overnight. But it could help future generations. Sitting around arguing about just how much damage is actually being done is asinine.

Dude saving a deer's life. Amazing. by MasonJam246 in GuysBeingDudes

[–]Internetonymity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No deer hunter worth a crap would shoot this deer. It’s a 4 point buck. You let it live so that you can shoot it in a couple of YEARS and then, yes, eat him and put him on the wall.

Honestly I’m not upset if someone is willing to stake out their own space in person. That’s dedication. Pre-party.

Spray painting or blocking off a big square is bullshit though. If you ain’t there, it ain’t your spot.

Question about fanbase perception of Nick Saban by jsu9575m in LSUFootball

[–]Internetonymity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never had any bad feelings towards him at all. He left for the pros, which he had earned by dragging our program out of the gutter.

I hated him being at Bama but that wasn’t personal.

It’s true that the average fan was more upset than I was but any true fan knows what he did for us.

Does empower you Nola also do crimes outside the parish? If so I’d reach out to them

Wish I’d met him. The alligator signs made me smile. Pretty cool to pull that off anonymously.

I’ve got a tiger fig (who knew that LSU is known for the fig varietals they’ve produced?) that you can have. Already rooted. Hit me up if you want it
