Good morning Atty :)

It’s a dangerous world we live in :(
Remember that it always has been. We live longer and better than any point in human history (pretty much, minus a recent blip/decline in longevity).

So like your breakfast memes say, smell the roses, eh? Don't take it too seriously, you don't get out of it alive. ;)

    Is it allowable to have these types of discussions on the snails thread. I am deeply hurting over this more so then any other time in my life. The anguish is almost unbearable. :cry:

    Of course it is:wub:

    The mother's, farther's, sister's and brother's aunts and uncle's - my heart weeps with them.
    I don't understand it, I don't know them, never met them yet I can't stop crying with them.
    I'm sure most of us are feeling the same way........

    True but these mass shootings are newish and increasing, incomprehensible :(

    we talk about anything and everything in here when the mood strikes us - it's just we don't get carried away if we disagree ;) unfortunately, those shootings have become the norm and not the exception and that won't change because so many insist on their rights :(

    Yeah, and there's various patterns to them. Yesterday's was race-based hate, white separatism. Last night, IDK yet, not reported yet.

    Agreed.
    Although I still have to allow for self defense. So I think limiting everyone to 6 shooters or breach-load stuff is a potential harm reduction measure. No external mags, limited internal capacity. But you can only do so much. It's a form of harm reduction, just like e-cigs.

    Even in countries with virtually no guns, other attacks happen.

    It's all so sad.

    Shootings are evil its killings and there is no other way to explain them. Taking rights away from the innocent can not agree on nor do I believe it would stop the deaths. Might slow it down until another method is used then it could very well get worse.

    I look at this way take my club away I get a knife, take my knife away I get a gun, take my gun away and you got a bigger problem on your hands. When people are determine to do anything, they will overcome all obstacles to complete their goals/tasks. Anyway this is a reality I can accept but the evil that wants to bring untold pain onto us there is no way to fight that.

    Isn't that the whole point of terror...

    The politic ratification is already a known factor bunch of ying yang back and forth and name calling that feeds on hate. Feeding it one way or the other does exactly what evil wants to happen - it would make me compliance by doing so. If my emotion are all screwed up, I can't imagine what the people in El Peso are dealing with. I want to give my support to them and not being able to hurts me even worse. Guess I can give financially support and make a donation but who and where? How do you hug someone if your not physical next to them.
