There's a few things I'm unconvinced by. One, that we're going to see such a response from Spain. Two, that guns would be anything but a detriment in this situation. Three, that the US federal government would go to war with a secceding state and its civilians. Four, that guns would help.

Serious / Re: Shooting at Vegas, more than 50 dead.« on: October 02, 2017, 06:24:30 PM »There's one key point of difference. If it turns out the weapons used were actually fully automatic or semis easily modified to perform as such, it'll cause a major blow to the "pro assault rifle" argument. This guy wasn't some mentally ill kid who stole his mom's gun. He passed background checks, collected an entire arsenal and (perhaps) used fully automatic weapons for the first time in decades. As I said, I don't expect anything to happen. But these are different circumstances and if some of the current reports turn out to be true, the weapons that were used and how they were obtained could do a lot to change public opinion and counter the "no point in targeting 'assault weapons'" or "stricter background checks / ownership limitations wouldn't help" talking points. Unlikely, yes, especially considering that 20 dead kids didn't really change anything, but these are different circumstances from most mass shootings.I genuinely do wonder if anything will change about gun control laws now. Probably not, but we'll see.If 20 school kids dying doesn't change it, don't expect random concert goers will 1445

Just sent a formal query to the EU Commission asking to continuously project their values within the union and to condemn the use of violence here, regardless of the legality of the referendum. Not naive enough to think that it'll actually make a difference, but still.

I didn't even consider the possible confusion until he pointed it out and didn't intend anything by it. I seriously hope no one thinks I meant to portray this dude as a supremacist.You could've worded it better. The sentence is very misleading.That's okay. I forgive you for doubting me.I'm aware.national =/= nationalist just FYIWhite national means white supremacist."committed by a caucasian American"committed by a white nationalque? I only mentioned the nationality in response to the Twitter guy bringing it up first. We live in a time where any one of these events is followed by a hunt to find out who the perpetrator is because of the current debate on migration and terrorism, so I think it's fair to point out the background of these people. Just like how we should be honest about immigrants committing crimes, we should also counteract the narrative of scapegoating foreigners when we have nationals doing the same thing. And I just used the word national again without thinking about it. What word would be better? 1450

Should change #GunControl to #AmericanControl.This tag is a nightmare. So much shite going around. So many bloody idiots. Reading through a guy's comments whose bio states that he's an independent and non-racist or non-bigoted yet tweets right wing, racist and sexist shit. Just one day ago, he made gloating comments about the Canada attack and how it's caused by immigrants (5 people injured, 0 deaths without access to guns). The irony in him vehemently attacking gun control after an attack (58 dead, 500 injured with access to guns) committed by a white national clearly escapes him. Sad shit. 1455

Not many shootings there to justify stricter laws, less guncrime, etc?Long tradition, I suppose. Nevada has the right to bear arms enshrined in its state constitution and it definitely ranks up there in terms of gun violence. 1456

Jesus what was he carrying around a mini-gun.There's talk of it being more than just a semi-auto rifle, which would be extremely unusual but not impossible. And it's not that hard to imagine. People had nowhere to hide and were stuck in a partially fenced area. The shooter had an excellent vantage point. Add onto that the loudness of the crowd and concert (many people took gunfire for fireworks in Vegas) and it can take minutes before everyone realizes what's going on. 1458
Serious / Re: Espanoles son cabrones (Catalan Independence referundum)« on: October 02, 2017, 06:31:52 AM »>EU is trying to be a controlling empireThe Spanish government had declared it illegal beforehand, meaning only the people who want independence will show up. They could have just used that to justify not accepting the results; but no, instead they send in the men in green to confiscate ballot boxes and beat the voters bloody. Regardless of whether Catalonia should or shouldn't gain independence (I'm not really informed enough on that to have an opinion), this just wasn't a good look for Spain and it won't help their case in the slightest.Not only that, it's hurting the EU's case also, because they do not condemn violence and people can see they try to be like an empire and don't care in the slightest about nations independence. More Brexits are coming. >EU literally said it's an internal manner that it should leave to the country's autonomy Hmm. 1459
