SUXBNME 1,596 Posted July 17, 2015 This. Pretty sure they didn't have these assault rifles in mind when they wrote the second amendment. I just wish that everyone who was killed by these things were pro-gun yahoos If you don't know anything about guns, you should prolly avoid talking about them here. hth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobb_deep 920 Posted July 17, 2015 You can have destructive religious-like fervor for ideologies without an appeal to a divine being in the mix (although even when they're non-theist it seems like there's often some creepy spiritual, mystical sense of specialness and destiny with the leaders). Whether you need the God factor to really effectively have masses corralled under the umbrella of a cause is a good question. I don't think you do because history has seen masses unified without that. But why is the God narrative so effective...is it because a divine being resonates with us, and we're not yet evolved beyond that? It's not far fetched to me to see how the idea of institutionally marginalizing or even eradicating religious believers can truly be seen as good, especially in light of a more connected than ever, relatively civilized globe dealing with a brutal, warring, domination seeking group tied together with religious beliefs, while you also have the steady annoyance of progressive obstructionists with their outdated moors in the first world. The way Nazi thinking forwarded that Jews have innate character deficiency can be applied to people who just don't get enlightened out of their superstition. If you're the material that is the conduit for evil, you're a dreg of society. I think a lot of it has to do with the belief of an afterlife, devaluing life itself. And to be clear, I agree with KSB. If it's not religion it will be something else. Humans (especially men) are aggressive by nature. Aggression manifests differently in everybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUXBNME 1,596 Posted July 17, 2015 gfy I know plenty. And I know that these assault weapons weren't invented yet in 1791. There's absolutely zero need for them. Assault weapon is a term used in the United States to define some types of firearms. The definition varies among regulating jurisdictions, but usually includes semi-automatic firearms with a detachable magazine and a pistol grip, and sometimes other features such as a flash suppressor or barrel shroud. What some people call "assault weapons" function like every other normal firearm—they fire only one bullet each time the trigger is pressed. Unlike automatics (machine guns), they do not fire continuously as long as the trigger is held. ... Today in America, most handguns are semi-automatics, as are many long guns, including the best-selling rifle today, the AR-15, the model used in the Newtown shooting. Some of these guns look like machine guns, but they do not function like machine guns. The truth about assault weapons is that there is no such thing. So-called assault weapons are semi-automatic firearms—the guns most commonly used by millions of law-abiding Americans. Educate yourself before speaking, dipshit. http://www.assaultweapon.info/ According to a 1988 report by the Violence Policy Center, an anti-gun lobby: [H]andgun restriction is simply not viewed as a priority. Assault weapons ... are a new topic. The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.

naomi 360 Posted July 18, 2015 I'm not normally one to criticize how the POTUS does or doesn't do public statements, but what he said about this so far just seems to pale in comparison to how other presidents have addressed tragedy befalling the men and women they command.
