I don't see how this shooting helps the "gun control" argument... Aren't NY's gun control laws pretty strict? And people still got shot...

So we should just let them get it as easily as humanly possible? This guy wasn't a criminal, he lost his job and went insane and shot some people up. There is a fukking reason our gun murder rate is so absurd compared to the rest of the world, nonchalant attitudes like the one you're taking. Like we should just sit back and do nothing, There has been like 4 mass shootings in the past month.

I love how everybody disregards shootings in the hood. Those are no longer mass shootings.

19 ppl got shot in chicago last night. That's not a mass shooting though. That's just regular shyt.

2 ppl get killed. 8 wounded. Its a national crisis.

Now exactly who has the nonchalant attitude???

I already made a post when the dark knight shooting happened and said the exact same shyt you did. The fact remains that there are far too many gunshot murders in this country. The general american populace has a totally nonchalant attitude towards guns.

New York has some of the strictest gun laws in the country...and he still was able to have a gun and use it recklessly...

Unless you make it illegal to make new guns criminals will always have access to them...and if they suddenly stopped making them then there would have to be a major effort to confiscate every gun in existence

Does that sound realistic to you? Then this crazy person would have just stabbed his old boss or made a home made bomb

Crazy is crazy why strip me of my right to defend myself because of a small percentage of crazy people...if anything if more sane people carried crazy people can be held in check for the most part
How would looser gun laws have prevented this shooting

:aicmon: the general american populace has a totally nonchalant attitude towards EVERYTHING

But, its like y'all simply see "gun" and automatically create a storyline. The gun doesn't matter! The action does. Folks get stabbed too but that doesn't make national headlines.

Let's deal with the mental problem instead of focusing on the vehicle used by those with mental problems.

I'm more worried that someone was so upset that they killed a person, than the fact that he used a gun to do it.

nikka what???

The overnight shootings peaked between 9:15 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. That's when eight people, many of them teens, were shot at 79th Street and Essex Avenue about 9:30 p.m.

Out of sight. Out of mind.

The Gun made a man out of pussies from around my way...


Stabbing is totally different, much more personal. Guns make it incredibly easy and you can do it from a distance. The Gun does matter. Do you not understand how ridiculous our Gun murder rate is compared to other countries?

And how many people can you kill with a knife before someone knocks it out of your hand? :comeon:

and no they aren't nonchalant about everything. our society is very prude when it comes to some issues

According to the FBI, mass murder/shooting is defined as four or more murders occurring during a particular event with no cooling-off period between the murders. A mass murder typically occurs in a single location in which a number of victims are killed by an individual or more.
