ugh. There's no lower life form on earth than those who intentionally hurt other people just because they're too mentally fucked up to handle reality. For fucks sake just off yourself in the privacy of your own goddamn house and good fucking riddance.

We need to revert back to our Medieval ancestor's way of dealing with/punishing sick fucks like this

Because times were so much better back then. So much peace, such healthy living conditions.

Great argument.

You're retarded.

An AR-15's muzzle velocity is about 3200 ft per second. When the round hits something, it deforms, and starts to tumble. Why do you think the military uses it? It's a great round. Easy to shoot, good range, and does a lot of damage.

AR-15's can be bought legally in semi-auto form and it's easy to rip through a 30 round magazine, I've done it. Gun control is irrelevant in this discussion.

It comes down to the fact this person had some serious issues and whether guns are legal/illeagal something like this was pre-meditated.

Vibes to the people affected from this.

I love cops sometimes.

"But but they were just doing their jobs" So were the nazis, and we didn't give them a pass.


Fuck people who fuck up other peoples lives. Should be about caring about other people and helping them.


Too much shittyness on this planet these days.

I had about 15 buddies in the mall working or shopping. One guy was about 40 feet away when the shooting started. He was carrying. But jumped to cover his wife and child. But thank good ness he was not injured

If I had a concealed carry, I would be afraid to pull it out for fear of being mistaken as the gunman or hitting somebody else.

Ever heard of hunting? That's just one reason but it's a pretty damn good one.

Also protecting yourself? Especially your residence?

Yes because if nobody has a gun, people still won't break into houses with knives.

And lol wut?

If we cared about peace maybe we wouldn't be all "YEA MURICA" sending our troops overseas for all kinds of shit.


I'm all about peace, but gun ownership really isn't the problem.

but it is and I've yet to see any statistic that say the more people that have guns the less deaths there will be. well give everyone a gun and no one will shoot anyone. that didn't work in the wild west back in the day, and it doesn't work with the gang members or the ghetto parts of our citys today. most people have guns there and they use them on each other all the time. could he have gotten a gun illegally maybe would it have been a semi automatic probably not. just my .02 and now im leaving before this becomes a 5 page thread.Click for larger image

If you think there's any chance of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals then you don't have the cognitive capacity to participate in this conversation.

Bro, I don't own a gun. I'm not saying that everybody should. At the same time taking away guns isn't magically going to start keeping bad things from happening.


Also it's a constitutional right. That probably doesn't mean much since we've completely raped it with shit legislation over the years.

Do you really think people are going to be like, oh shit, guns are illegal, I better not buy one to shoot somebody with because it'll be illegal to buy it.


The people with legitimate uses are the ones who will be hurt the most.

Also that graph isn't making some amazing point. Could have a bunch of normal people get rid of their guns, that doesn't mean the violence is going to go away.

There's a fuck ton of gang violence, and I don't think they really care that much about the laws. Just saying.

yes, but a handgun or a rifle will do the trick for those. We don't need people with AR-15's and modded AK's in their houses. I understand that people want to shoot them, but leave them at the gun range. Semi-automatics aren't for hunting, they aren't for protection, they're for showing off to your friends and shooting them places where they shouldn't be shot, like a mall.

I mean you could go into a mall and kill more than 2 people in 30 seconds with a hand gun. Hell you could start knifing people in the movie theater.


I'm just saying that you can't legislate out all the bad shit that happens.

of course you can't, but it's a damn lot harder to squeeze off 60 shots with a handgun. I think people should be allowed to have guns, but justifiable guns. Can you really justify in any way having an AR-15?

For sure but you could pretty easily kill more than 2 people with a handgun in a place with that many people if you really wanted to. Wouldn't be as scary but it could still happen.

yes, but if the shooter had gone in with the same frame of mind as the person in your scenario (kill as many people as efficiently as possible), the deaths would have been in the 50's, not in the 10's.

Fuck you. Have you ever been to Portland? the craziest people get here are the people who are vegans and only buy from their local co-op, all while riding their fixie everywhere. It's one of the most liberal places on the planet, this was completely unexpected.

you had portland pegged as a mass shooting city all along? of the 2 million people in the metropolitan area, you think it has a higher percentage of people likely to commit mass shootings? this is based on some kind of anthropological data right?

You probably don't even no where I live or where I've lived.


And that's pretty irrelevant. Your post was simply a dumb 12 year old I knew something like this was going to happen sooner or later bunch of horse shit.

this is unsurprising. americans are fucking retarded when it comes to guns. gun violence? OMG lets all hoard more fucking guns cause its our 2nd amendment right and it will make us safer wtfff. that is some seriously backwards thinking. cant believe how paranoid that country is as if they need guns to defend themselves from every fucking person on the street or even worse...the GOVERNMENT (yeah right). guns are made to kill, they arent fucking toys. inb4 some 14 year old jackass claims that outlawing guns only puts them in the hands of criminals. guess what, all these school or mall shootings are not committed by fucking gangbangers bro. most of the guns in these innocents civilian shootings are bought legally with no oversight. i cant believe after all this shit the political dialogue hasnt even begun to move towards more strict gun control. buying guns with no paper? body armor? assault rifles? fmjs? fuuuuck that, no thanks

1. Where did I say that times were better back then? Oh, wait. I didn't

2. How in the fuck is what I said an "argument"? What I said was that I despise people who decide that the best way of ending their own suffering is by taking as many innocent people's with them as they can.

See, even a guy carrying a gun was too big a pussy to whip it out and shoot this cocksucker.

So there goes the argument that everyone should have them.

Seriously though I thought if more people had guns this guy wouldn't be able to pull this shit how come your boy didn't pop him once he put his wife and kid behind a column or something?

Having a gun is basically like having little man big truck syndrome just a cheaper fix since most insecure people can't afford a big truck.


I don't mind hunting and if you live in a very rural area where you might actually use the gun responsibly that is fine. But city dwellers don't need them. Where you gonna shoot it responsibly?

And my argument is based on hearing stories of what fucked up people do from going to meetings for my problems. Lots of people when they are down can't control themselves they'll drive around in the car with an open beer all fucked up and just not care what happens.


If I fuck some losers girl I don't wanna know that faggot has a hardon for guns. 100% guarantee he is thinking of using it to shoot me.

regardless of gun laws....people who will do this sort of thing will do it anyway. Normal people don't have to worry about gun laws because they respect guns and use them properly. If anything we need less strict gun laws so people can defend themselves in this type of situation

spray and pray from the hip is my guess. Most rounds either went into the ground or into the ceiling as its incredibly difficult to maintain a level muzzle when you fire this way. If he had a been sighting in at chest level way more than two people would be dead, even if he was a terrible shot
