Yeah, that's really impressive, we don't train for that, and it's 100% unexpected, plus the surprise, the fear, man, it's scary, the idea of pulling your weapon and blasting away in a mall. :timeout:

All it took was 15 seconds. Not much time to think.

It was the headline that caught my intention and I knew we have a mass shooting thread.

Do you agree what it says in the article ?

Quote:

“The extent to which people feel unsafe only predicts gun ownership in counties in the South, where the more unsafe people feel, the more likely they are to own a gun,” Buttrick said. “If you look in areas that didn't have any slaves in the 1860s, whether people feel unsafe there today does not predict today’s county-level gun ownership.”

No. I doubt it's basic premise and it sure doesn't explain the many US states who also now have high gun ownership rates that didn't even exist in the 1860's.

Sounds like complete and utter B.S. to me. :hmmm:

That is one giant meadow muffin of an article. If by chance you read the actual study "DR'" Spalding cites (for those of you interested it is: Historical prevalence of slavery predicts contemporary American gun ownership ) you'll see it is nothing more than an attempt to equate gun owners with being racist. Anybody that thinks that study belongs anywhere but in an Outhouse is an idiot. I went and actually read the study and it is nothing but a bunch of disjointed statistics bent and twisted to fit a preconceived conclusion.

I did not read the article-I saw the headlines and I thought I will find a clean url address without this fbclid in it. Then I will post in our..hmm doesn't we have a thread called mass shooting thread..? Could not find it at first so I made an advanced search and found it. So my American friends and others can discuss the content of the article.

I can understand by reading your answers to this link is.. it's bs.

Markus

That wasn't a link, I underlined it for emphasis. Here is the link:
Historical prevalence of slavery predicts contemporary American gun ownership
and I repeat it's BS.

In a chat from a livestream an American wrote.

Many Americans do not own a weapon The average comes from Americans who owns a lot of weapons.

You need to redefine. I have all kinds of 'weapons'.
But I don't have any FIRE ARMS.

It was the only thing this chatter wrote in chat.

Markus

Then someone should point out that a Screw Driver can be a weapon.
Hell! Car keys held right can be a weapon.

When I got pulled over while travelling a Cop asked if I had weapons.
I told him "Everything in my Truck can be a weapon. Redefine your question."
He was not happy but changed his question. "Do you have any Guns?"

I asked him to define Guns. Again he was not happy.
I had several air guns used for construction work.

Unfortunately just like skyrocketing tuition costs nobody ever asks WHY nobody ever thinks about the CAUSE. In response the majority of the sheeple just follow the party line of throwing tantrums which doesn’t do anyone any good.

This Teen Was Prescribed 10 Psychiatric Drugs. She’s Not Alone.

Intervention for her depression and anxiety came not from the divine but from the pharmaceutical industry. The following spring, a psychiatrist prescribed Prozac. The medication offered a reprieve from her suffering, but the effect dissipated, so she was prescribed an additional antidepressant, Effexor.

A medication cascade had begun. During 2021, the year she graduated, she was prescribed seven drugs. These included one for seizures and migraines — she experienced neither, but the drug can be also used to stabilize mood — and another to dull the side effects of the other medications, although it is used mainly for schizophrenia. She felt better some days but deeply sad on others.

But, these experts caution, such medications are too readily doled out, often as an easy alternative to therapy that families cannot afford or find, or aren’t interested in.

These drugs, generally intended for short-term use, are sometimes prescribed for years, even though they can have severe side effects — including psychotic episodes, suicidal, homicidal, violent behavior, weight gain and interference with reproductive development, according to a recent study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry.

Of course your average moron will immediately think it must be the gun, knife or club as the cause.
