Ex-cop murders theatregoer....isn't it nice that we let people carry guns around? (Page 34) ghostgeek: The Japanese don't have mass shootings, the last one was in 1938, but the United States does. The Japanese have next to no guns, the Unites States owns half the world's gun stock. What conclusion should we draw from this, other than the obvious one that guns kill? Perhaps that the Japanese have brains but Americans don't.  SWlNE: Your government will be brought up seeing that the topic is on gun violence. It will be an issue discussed by your government. Think before you type. Know what is a bit annoying? That no one can have a discussion here, because one idiot will construct an entire argument before hearing the position of the other person. You agree there is a problem with the gun violence in the US. You either agree or disagree that changes need to be made to address the problem and then proceed with a discussion from there. Simple.  lori100: Japan is a completely different culture, America is more aggressive but Japan does have crimes----------wiki------Doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo release sarin nerve gas in a residential area in the world's first use of chemical weapons by a terrorist group. 1995 Tokyo Sarin Gas Attack 12 Tokyo Aum Shinrikyo members conduct simultaneous attacks on multiple Tokyo Metro trains using sarin nerve gas, killing 12 and injuring more than 1000. 1995 Hachiōji supermarket murders 3 Hachiōji, Tokyo Three employees of a supermarket are found shot dead in a suspected robbery. Despite massive publicity, the case is still unsolved. 1997 Kobe child murders 2 Kobe Over several months, a 14-year-old boy, alias "Seito Sakakibara," attacks a total of four younger girls with a hammer or a knife, killing one of them. He then strangles and decapitates Jun Hase, an 11-year-old boy, leaving his head in front of his school with a note stuffed in his mouth, and sends taunting letters to a newspaper. The nation is shocked when a 14-year-old is arrested, and eventually prompted the government to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 14 in 2000. --------------25-year-old Tomohiro Kato rams a truck into a crowd of shoppers and proceeds to stab the run-down victims, killing six men and one woman and injuring 11 others. The perpetrator was later executed.-------------------------Japan also has the history of suicide cults and practices....turning violence inward... (Edited by lori100) ghostgeek: Yes, Japan certainly has crime and criminals. Also a fair few nutters. Even some guns. What it doesn't seem to have are the regular shooting sprees that the U.S. specialises in. Let's be honest, incidents like Roseburg are becoming a regular occurance in America. Maybe you Americans are happy with that situation Lori, quite content to trade your security for the freedom to carry arms. That, ultimately, is your choice to make. lori100: Not happy with it, numb maybe......freedom (as much as we have) must be maintained, and the ability to protect against attacks or govt abuses.....and many if not most of the mass shootings have been created by the powers that want to scare the public and get them unarmed...mind controlled assassins are real...there is an agenda at work....if it doesn't work, they increase the amount of mass shootings.... (Edited by lori100)  Lioness55: Since Obama’s re-election to a second term in November 2012 – which itself was followed by the shooting of 26 people including 20 children at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, just a few weeks later – there had been 993 mass shooting events in the United States . Thursday’s attack, at Umpqua community college in the town of Roseburg, was No 994. Almost 300 of them have occurred in 2o15.  davesdatahut: Another freedom-monger, reaping what hath been sewn by himself and all his fellow travelers on the paranoid road to the gun shop. Give a view.... http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/02/us/oregon-shooting-sheriff-john-hanlin/index.html (Edited by davesdatahut) davesdatahut: Liption, why do you draw conclusions about conclusions I have not drawn, oh great defender of freedom? I was just taking note that this was a concealed carry case where concealed carry didn't work. The bigger point is that that evil wackadoo bought 14 guns legally when he was a prime case for not being able to buy even one. davesdatahut: Did someone unlock Lori's cage.....again? And who is this Lioness character that also seems to have escaped from the Cyberhome of Relentless Conspiracy. Don't tell me there are now two escapees??? Get the straightjackets!! Or better yet, get them jobs.

It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed." davesdatahut: Lioness, what I see, and what anyone of sane mind and clear perspective sees, are people with not enough to do, who occupy their underused minds with conspiracy theories concocted out of thin air, whole cloth and half-truths, along the way seeking to blame everyone else for their problems. Please proceed as you were. At least you provide entertainment for the rest of us. (Edited by davesdatahut) Lioness55: no Lori,,,he is brainwashed and believes the BS thats fed upon him.....poor thing..no hope for the blind....like i said davesdatahut: Au contrario! Dave DOES read the conspiracy blather. How else to keep up on the lunacy of the community? Mi scusi un attimo....I must recuse myself for a moment to wash my brain. (Edited by davesdatahut) ghostgeek: His officers turned up at the scene. They'd have seen if people had been killed, if the shooter was dead. No way would that sheriff conceal the truth if it had the effect of tarnishing gun ownership. | Politics Chat Room 76 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
