Re: 11 officers dead in Dallas

Yeah guns are a problem but America is so fractured, sick and broken. Not surprised something like this happens after politicians and so called "civil rights" leaders on both sides have been stoking racial tensions and basically inciting violence.

    Yeah it's really getting out of control. All these tragic events have become so commonplace it's kinda scary. Like you just never know what's going to happen next, when or where or who, and that's pretty scary. I mean this time ELEVEN COPS were shot. That's insane. This shit really could happen to anyone. How unfortunate.

    Yeah, it'll be really interesting to see what type of reaction this city has. Obviously a very pro-gun state/city.

    Thanks, man. I had driven by that exact intersection about 20-30 minutes before it happened, right by the protests. If I decided to stay at the office another 15-20 minutes to finish up work instead of just deciding to leave and finish it at home...crazy.

    I'd probably never get one, but knowing there's one if I needed it adds a feeling of security for some people.

    Besides, my town'a safe enough as it is. Only one murder in 40 years and it was a stabbing in a domestic dispute.

    Almost laughable. Just count gun deaths this month and then to think 4.5 million members in a single association are keeping firearms in anyones hands just because they are boisterous in Washington.

    That's fine. If you want a pistol to protect yourself, I'm all in.

    But it's clear we have a major fucking problem and I'm really tired of this divisiveness. How people are okay with the deaths of others is beyond me. This is sad all around.

    Pretty much. We live in a society were if you have a problem it's just ok to start shooting.

    I don't think the people who call for more gun control understand what the real problem is; its people. It's a tired saying but it's true, guns don't kill, people do. You can have all the gun regulations you want, if a person, like these scumbags, wanna kill others, they will find the means to do so, with or without weapons. Hundreds and hundreds of people have died in the Middle East from car bombs and explosive vests, not a single shot fired. I don't know what the solution is, but gun control isn't going to do jack shit, you have to attack the problem at the core.

    Kind of. But are people in every other western civilized country just less evil? Nowhere else is there this massive of a problem.

    Thanks guys.

    I'm nervous for the ramifications of this whole thing. Where the wold slowly moves on from this, it's going to effect the Dallas area for quite a long time.

    The people that do this shit are unbelievably sick in the fucking head. I don't think we need to get rid of all guns for all time but maybe just maybe there should be like a census type psychological evaluation that comes around once a year to make sure you aren't a massive fucking psycho and if you own guns you have to take the test every month.

    It's people. It's guns. It's all of the above.

    As soon as everyone can start understanding that, the better.
