Guns are marketed as toys not tools. Kids play video games AND shoot guns.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Really Kevin?

See a lot of gun ads in your Thrifty Nickel?

Is Barney the Dinosaur packing heat?



You can buy a machine gun in France.

 

[Fiddler]

And there you go. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

hmmm....with about every kind of carry allowed no one stopped the guy in Texas...

 

[BlackSmith]

It’s Texas Dave not Detroit or Chicongo...

Yes. There is marketing for guns everywhere. To kids. And based off of what I see on facebook, guns are toys along with video games and drugs. The minority of gun owners own tools or bought tools. They bought toys.

Yep, video games and mental health, thats definitely it.

Here we go.....more whataboutery!

 

[Mellow]

It's called perspective.

 

[Mick!]

I suppose the difference is that car crashes and medical errors are universally accepted as a bad thing, efforts, laws and investigations into medical procedures are made, speed limits, alcohol checks and licenses are given and revoked to try to reduce the loss of life.

Whereas the loss of life due to gun crime (stratospherically higher than any other ‘civilised’ country) is one of those things apparently, no big deal, collateral worth paying.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Yeah...but only when its white folks.

 

[Mick!]

Meme worthy I believe Jim.

 

[FireFighterZero]

No offence at the other shootings Mick?

 

[Mick!]

We only get the news of the big ones here, tell me about the other ones.

 

[FireFighterZero]

You have been told before.

What gives you the idea we are so "developed" and "civilized" anyway?


We use all the world's illegal drugs, we have destroyed the black family, we have abandoned our mental health system, and we punish students and schools that need help.


Oh, and we love guns and violence.


I would say we are doing pretty well for what we have to work with.

 

[Raj]

My only question is, if the US is so bad, why is everyone trying to get in??

 

[MasterBlaster]

NO freaking way "we have destroyed the black family." Lordy.

You've been fooled.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Well, before Johnson signed his legislation the black family was largely intact.


Peter.....everyone is killing themselves to get in for one reason.

An AR-15 in every pot.

 

[BlackSmith]

This guy gets it...

I know there's been plenty of talk on here over the years on bc's logging practices and between man and fires it seems it's time to pay the piper. ]

Very interesting, Justin.

Thanks for the info. I found this link from your link, interesting https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/brit...ntracters-losing-work-mill-closures-1.5221008

 

[Tree09]

Bob, that guy was dead on, good stuff there.

 

[BlackSmith]

I don’t agree with some of his views but for the most part he is spot on, fair and unbiased kinda like myself...

 

[treesmith]

One shooting with an AK-type rifle...one with an AR....now one with an AR pistol. Anyone who can't see this is being orchestrated to push a ban is just blind.

Edit: I was mistaken....Gilroy and El Paso shooters both used AKs, though the AR has had its share of badmouthing of late.

 

[Fiddler]

How can you be sure it's not orchestrated to sell more guns?

Every mass shooting brings on false cries of "they'll take all our guns" and sales hit the roof.
