I wish I could feign surprise at a tragic time like this, but the tragedy is made worse by now expected and on-brand this is for our country. It is a tragedy.

Also, I don't mean to sound insensitive, but does this actually qualify as a "mass" shooting? You could call it an attempted mass shooting I guess but I figured there was criteria they had to be met to be called that like with spree killings and serial killings.

And I have no illusions that the war would be easily fought or possible in a timely manner. It will undoubtedly be a multi-generational struggle. Victory may literally not be possible.

But I have to believe that we have gotten to a point as a species that maybe there are finally enough enlightened folks that can organize and just educate folks with common sense

If Im wrong then we are all the chubby milhouse kid from The Lord of the Flies and we are 100% fucked. So I say fuck it we gotta at least try.

Dont even do this shit dude. Even one person getting shot or getting shot and killed is awful and causes so many problems and it is happening CONSTANTLY. Right now people are just fucking shooting each other like fucking monsters.

Its enough. You know that it is enough. Meet me there at least.

I was about to post a sarcastic comment pretending to say this but here you are

"It's not a mass shooting. They just shot into an audience in a theater and only hit 2 people, this isn't a mass shooting, stop pushing a liberal agenda." I adjust my trilby and tighten my fingerless gloves. "Another liberal owned" I chuckle. A beep echos in the distance. My Pizza Pockets are ready.

My concerns don't line up well with those of most of humanity so sorry.

I just don't like that people talk about mass shootings and demand change while many more people die in "normal" shootings every single day and 99% of those people don't bat an eye. To me is seems like hypocrisy and I can't trust their sincerity. I'm not saying YOU are like that but many people are. People are just so "fake" about so many things it makes me sick, I would rather they not pretend to care at all than display fake emotions to push political policies and stroke their own ego.

Dude I sit on a bed usually with a cushion behind me

and yeah, I want to fight a war of ideas and dialogue along with genuine goodwill towards my common man. Im not going to seek out any violence in my life if I can at all help it. Not only would I likely be a poor soldier but I simply dont want to harm anyone.

But that doesnt mean there arent ways I can contribute towards a dialogue of trying to better our world somewhat in the face of unnecessary tragedy.

So you go ahead and look down on me whichever way you see fit, I am very much who I am and Im not ashamed of it and Im not going to stop. If you ever want to try to change my mind then you gotta come at me with something a little more compelling than a tired old insult of calling me a couch potato.

Hell a lot of the founders thought a revolution would be necessary every so often to "update" the country. I'm sure some of them would have supported the civil war if they knew it was going to happen.

That's because it doesn't qualify as a mass shooting under *any* widely accepted definition, which is why the articles didn't use it. Kimbo is just trolling like always, probably because he thinks it's funny.

All of which is complete bullshit and propaganda, although rewriting history must be fun. Next you can explain how the forefathers recognized that older houses were smaller so the Third Amendment shouldn't apply to big, modern homes.

I was going to post a sarcastic remark demonstrating how fucking stupid and ignorant your shitpost was, but then I thought it'd be easier just to point out how fucking stupid and ignorant your shitpost is by citing the actual articles, more specifically the one that the Gamespot one sourced but misrepresented:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/local-news/teen-dead-california-theater-shooting-forever-purge-1234989109/

An 18-year-old woman was killed and a 19-year-old man was critically injured after a shooting at The Regal Edwards Corona Crossings RPX theater on Monday night.
Police were called for service at 11:45 p.m. to The Crossings, at 2650 Tuscany St., for an unknown problem. Upon arrival, officers located a man and woman who had both suffered gunshot wounds. The 19-year-old man was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. The 18-year-old female died from her injuries at the scene. The names of the victims have not been released, pending notification of relatives.

There are few details available, but if you used even a lick of common sense you'd realize the sheer implausibility of gunman shooting wildly into the crowd yet only hitting *two* people. And if you used a lick of common sense, you'd realize the sheer improbability of articles NOT disclosing that the guy was shooting wildly if he was. Given the outcome, it was more likely the result of a personal dispute.

Because fuck having to evaluate utility vs risk, am I right?
People fall in bathtubs and get injured. Ban bathtubs.
People drown in pools. Ban swimming.

Having to rely on a car to get to work is just as important as "I like owning a gun because it makes me feel powerful." right.

And if you're going to bring up cars, yes let's require just as rigorous training/permitting/titling/registration/insurance for guns similar to cars

The original complaint was that even one person getting killed causes so many problems.

I agree with you, might as well ban bathtubs, swimming, etc.

Utility vs Risk is exactly right. Sure, I could get away with using something more primitive like a Bow and Arrow, but why would I do that if I can have a firearm? (Like why would I ride a bike 20 miles to work if I can own an automobile).

While you may not like to admit it, there is utility in owning a firearm. (maybe not in cities, but certainly in rural areas)

which is also not something id worry about in terms of winding up shot unless youve grieved someone or are in a gang. almost all firearm homicides are from individuals who know each other. domestic issues, gang/drug warfare ect. worse case scenario you might end up as collateral, but even then thats probably even a lower statistic than the lightning one.

2 people shot is also not considered a mass shooting.

I honestly, no jokes or malice included, feel sorry for people like you who let themselves fall into fearmongering culture. You do know that in 2020 despite having no "mass" shootings it was still the deadly year for gun violence in general right? Like you're afraid of one thing you logically don't really need to be while seemingly ignoring much more tangible dangers because those one aren't hyped up and reported on as much.
