Houston Shooting Discussion

[Snowman1]

At the shooting at my school, a student just ran in, popped a guy, and ran out the back.
The guy owed him $200, so it was a planned (albeit ridiculous beyond words) shooting.

Was thinking. "Man, if only we had a fence out the back", he wouldn't have had an escape route".
There are plenty of things we can do to stop these, taking away guns isn't one of them.

Another thing is if you look at Adam Lanza, why do we all know his name? It's been all over the news, and if he wanted to off himself, he may as well become famous in the process.

That's crazy! 'Murrica ity:

I'm not even lying when I tell you this. It's easier to get a gun than it is to get any sort of healthcare. Now that's twisted

It's a tough situation cause of the history of your country. All that right to bear arms shit was written hundreds of years ago. People still quote it like it was written last week. There's no clear cut solution, whatever it is, its going to take a lot of time to resolve.

You think that building a fence will stop gun violence? That seems a little absurd. I do agree, the media gives these people reasons to shoot up things. They become over night house hold names. That part you are 100% correct on. I will just say in closing, that if we just ban assault rifles it will make everyone happy. You still get your guns, and the chances of huge mass shootings go down.

Yep. People who think guns are hard to get have never looked for a hard drug in their life. Go to right spot, meet right person, have cash and blamo. Just because something becomes restricted doesnt mean it disappears, and in our society, we would NEVER destroy something that could have an insane profit, over lost a los of income/profit/money/product.

You're probably right.

I agree that people will still try to get guns. Think if drugs were legal though. How many more people do you think would do them, just because it's legal? Believe it or not, some people would be turned off by the sketchiness (not a real word) of getting a gun, which is a win. The downside is all of the illegal trafficking that would take place. It's an epidemic, that we have no right answer for.

You dont honestly think people are going to think to themselves "heroin is legal, im going to go fuck my life up with a needle in my arm." Think of the fast and the furious (cia run drug/gun money) and the fact that in places where drugs ARE legal for the most part, they have an insanely lesser amount of violent criminals and drug addicts who rob/steal/kill for money. I guess we will have to disagree, but i dont think criminals will be "sketched out" by a gun when it is illegal, as what they plan to use it for is much more serious.

You dont honestly think if drugs were made legal people would just be shooting heroin and smoking crack on the street corners, do you?

Actually I think more people would try it if it were legal. So, yes I do honestly believe that. Especially marijuana.

Gonna' stop caring, honestly. The whole Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in Connecticut was a complete hoax and I'm going to take every incident reported like this with a grain of salt.

Just seen this in more detailed version, obviously good news no one is dead.

Trying and doing are two separate deals. Look up the studies, Weed is nothing compared to the damage liquor does to your body, and if it is taxed and run up to a government protected standard, you would also have a lot less people underage trying the drugs, since the availability would hinder the low end drug dealer from trying, not to mention penalties. I see nothing but huge gain from legalization, especially the fact that prison money could be turned into health care money and we could keep drug addicts off the streets, while putting them into facilities that could actually improve their physical/mental wellbeing.

Also who cares if people who are adults smoke weed, or even shoot heroin? If you think americans are so corrupt in their morals that legalization will create an environment full of drug addicts who contribute nothing to society, i pity you brother. If anything, the govt should make it legal, tax and give penalties (like CO and CA do) and stack paper, while letting people do what they want with their own bodies.

Staying informed is the best case scenario, ignorance is not bliss.

People actually believe this shit? Disappointing to say the least

Same as the Batman shooting, i highly doubt there was only one shooter. Not a hoax, but less than half of the whole story, that i believe.
