The off topic thread 3.0

[Magma]

once politicians stop taking millions of dollars from the nra then maybe something would change. but money always is more important than safety.

 

[RPCB]

But muh second amendments, they all cry

When you hear Average Joe citizens using the logic that “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people” as a way to counter the argument of taking away guns, nothing will ever change.

******* sickening.

jod23 it's the 19th school shooting this year.

19?? Staggering. It’s only mid February.

jod23 it's the 19th school shooting this year.

No it isn't, there's only been 19 shootings in total this year, and that includes suicides and accidents with no one harmed.

Hm wasn't the stat I saw, but fair enough.

There are gang shootings every day in America.

Yeah looking at it that way, 19 for the year so far overall is laughable to say the least, sadly.

 

[jd2010]

What's even more sad is these happen so reguarly the actual devasting facts of what happened get somewhat overlooked because the discussion is about their stupid second ammendment and NRA. 19 school shootings and who knows how many innocent children killed, hurt or mentally scarred in what is the self proclaimed leaders of the western world.

Sadly, money > everything else in the world, including people’s safety and well-being.

Prep in america is remember ABC's, 123's and AR-15's.

I used an AR-15 last year when I was in Vegas (and a Glock 9mm). Was one of those things you do to say you’ve done it. Remarkable how accurate I was with both guns having never used one before then.

In this instance, they genuinely believe they are better off with guns. Paranoia and arrogance at its finest.

Yeah I wasn't thinking the stat included things like that. Seemed the wording of the stat was wrong though.

* me... that's actually ridiculous and quite frankly unacceptable.

Is Donovan Mitchell a chance to beat Simmons for rookie of the year?

Simmons just dropped a big triple double in a win for Philly without Embiid. ROTY is his to lose IMO.

Jazz have won 11 in a row.

 

[jod23]

Jazz have won 11 in a row.

Yeah they have. Incredible run. Yet still 10th in the West. Philly are 5 games above .500 and will make the playoffs. No surprise they suddenly make the playoffs the .mnute Ben Simmons can play.

I don't think it'll be as one sided as we might think. Mitchell has how many 30+ point games in his rookie season? If he manages to get close to the record number of those and the Jazz continue to play well he's a big chance

What made you want to do it?

I've got no interest in shooting a gun.

 

[jd2010]

Why not?

Shooting at a range would be fun

You don't like archery or anything? Shooting at a range can be fun. I used to do air rifle sessions at the scout center I worked at.

 

[jd2010]

Clay bird shooting is good fun

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Yeah shooting at a range is good fun.

“When in Rome...”

It surprised me how lightweight they were too. And no major kick like I anticipated.

My target with the Glock. 3 shots getting a feel for it, then the remainder in the 9 or 10 kill zones...

It takes a big man to admit they're wrong. Well done SM, if only certain posters who spout racist drivel could do the same.
