News: 71 wounded, 12 killed in midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises

[QUOTE="Jebus213"][QUOTE="Scarebaby"]

You're right. Which means that only criminals will bother getting guns, and your neighbors will go without. How do you not see the significance of this? The fewer people who carry guns the less people will get shot to death.

Scarebaby

So, according to your logic it doesn't matter whether 1 person or 1000 people are shot and killed? Good to know where you stand.

Why has it worked in other countries? What makes America different?

[QUOTE="almasdeathchild"]you don't know them and isnt affected you. no need to get upset or lose sleep over it

almasdeathchild

Piss off.

Edit: Post #96 again!

honestly i can say it sucks and it's sad but it's not bugging me and i wont lose sleep over it.

I heard that the death toll has been downsized to 12, not sure if it's been confirmed.

Some may even result to making there own guns.Jebus213

That'd be one hell of an achievement. We need less stupid people around.

Crazy.

Dem gun laws.

Do you need to make a comment like that? If it's not bugging you then leave the thread and allow discussion between those who are genuinely interested. I'm not sure what relevancy Africa has with a shooting in Colorado a few hours ago...Ravensmash

You're just pretending to be interested. Give it a week and you won't even remember where it happened anymore.

Are you looking out for me or something? Go away.Ravensmash

I'm genuinely interested in knowing why would anyone other than the people who were present, their families and their friends be interested in said mishappening to the point of calling out humorous remarks. You're just unlucky to be the only one around "showing empathy".

That's your argument right? ^ a childish one

Yeah, I made one comment towards a link stating that it wasn't as appropriate as the poster believed considering how soon it is after an event, and you've latched on to a simple remark as though you're offended by my 'censorship!'. Apologies though, I must learn to be more cold and practise my internet persona better.

No one is saying that banning guns would PREVENT murder, we're saying it would LESSEN the amount of murders being committed. Is English not your first language?

This is like reason #1 why you don't go to these movie openings anymore.

If people are crazy enough to get dressed up like Batman, you know there 1 or 2 out there who are REALLY messed up and looking to go Postal.

[QUOTE="almasdeathchild"]

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Do you wonder why people watch the news? After all, I watch it and half those stories are miles away from me - guess I shouldn't give a **** and laugh about poor Miss Bloggs being raped, I didn't know her so that's fine! I'll just sit back and make a few jokes, what she doesn't hear won't hurt her !

Would you rather cry over spilled milk or be realist by acknowledging that you're not willing to do anything about it, and move on?

Where do people keep pulling that BS from anyway? It's nothing but NRA propaganda. The #1 reason people want guns is because they think they are cool. They don't want to have to give away their favourite toys.

65% of homicides in the US are committed using firearms. That's far higher then any other developed country in the world. The US also has the highest rate of gun ownership in the developed world.

I'm really can't be bothered getting into a gun debate so i'll leave it here.

You're not "showing empathy", you're b!tching about humor.

That wasn'thumor, just pure spite.

I wonder what you people are going say next..... Has prohibition worked all of a sudden?Jebus213

Prohibition on Alchohol failed because it could be easily manufacutred. Guns on the other hand can't. The US is the #1 weapons supplier in the world. Mexico banned all sales of guns, Guess where the Cartels get theirs? That's right, Made in the USA.

How can I do anything about it? That doesn't mean I can't show respect for the victims or feel bad about the event and follow it - that's a ridiculously isolated viewpoint. And I don't think 50 people being shot (including a 3 month old baby and children) warrants the term 'spilled milk'. C'mon dude. As I've said, you latched on to a comment I made and tried to twist it into a negative. Ravensmash

I didn't twist anything, it *was* a negative. Nobody here feels good about what happened. You think being humorous is meant to disrespect the victims?

The way people go on about their guns i'm pretty sure it is. How could people in a first world country be so affraid and paranoid? Has their society completely collapsed? Or are they worried that it soon might?
