| Topic | Wow. Almost 2 weeks into Sept without a school shooting. |
| Zeus 09/09/17 7:23:22 PM #26: | Firewood18 posted... I'm going by the basic definition of a shooting taking place in a school. Which is an intentionally deceptive definition used by shitlords and pundits to peddle propaganda. It's designed to make people think that a guy shooting his ex-wife at her job is *exactly* the same as Columbine to cultivate the perception that the US can't go a week without a Sandy Hook. Firewood18 posted... tbh Zeus is the first and only person I've actually considered ignoring here. And yet ironically I'm the person you should most be listening to right now . _AdjI_ posted... Which is a fairly silly implication because school shootings are still really bad even when they don't have a sizable body count. And what's worse is using murders to prop up and perpetuate a false agenda. That's not just trivializing their deaths, it's maliciously misrepresenting them. _AdjI_ posted... It should be more restricted than access to mental health services, at least. Which is to say mental health services need to be vastly improved, since as you pointed out, completely restricting access to weaponry is pretty much impossible. Which would actually do nothing to prevent most of things you're trying to define as school shootings. It might help out with the actual crazies going on a rampage, but an angry guy who wants to kill his ex isn't exactly going to be flagged for a psych eval because he doesn't seem far enough gone yet. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...
