:looney:

Sigh… Jones actually brings up a lot of facts that regular media won’t touch, but they just get twisted and lost in his delusional insanity.

It has exponentially more evidence than the original conspiracy theory video which it references.

How can it have more evidence when it didnt even cover everything mentioned? If it did it would of been a much longer video.

Still not convinced? Okay.

At the risk of stating something that will probably go badly misinterpreted or ignored outright, a longer video does not guarantee more or better evidence.

This is sort of like one of my buddies back in the third grade arguing that Return of the Jedi was the best Star Wars movie because it was the longest, therefore it had more of everything good about Star Wars in it. [SIZE=1]At the time, it was a pretty compelling argument.[/SIZE]

15-year old new mexico teen Nehemiah Griego shoots and kills his 2 parents and his 3 siblings (ages 2-9), and allegedly had plans to kill his girlfriends parents and commit a mass shooting in a local walmart.

I think the fact that we have a thread like this that lumps all occurances of shootings together as if they’re commonplace proves that there is a huge problem. Guns are dumb.

what a fucking little sack of shit

I have to say, I have always wanted a gun, but where I live, you need to have 3 references to get a licence.
I don’t know 3 people…:frowning:

I don’t think guns are the problem. Guns make the issue become highly visible and destructive. There is either something or a combination of factors that is leading to mass shootings becoming a bit more prevalent than before. Considering the ages, we may have to start looking at all the medication we’re forcing on children rather than what they are using as a vehicle for their actions. This isn’t a defense of guns. Instead it is a means of repeating goodm0urning’s earlier comment in this thread on our mishandling of mental issues.

We can take the guns away from all these people. I don’t think that we actually prevent tragedies altogether. If they don’t have a gun, they’ll end up stabbing somebody. If we take out the guns and murders increase then we’ll essentially be back at square one.

This relevant?

Very much so, but it’s been posted many times

srk will vouch for you :lovin:

my friends old HS is on lockdown right now for a gun threat. woooo guns!

I have a good way to save lives (if that’s what they really want to do). Make it a mandatory 20 years for DWI. I bet any sane person wont drive drunk, anyone who still does is the problem in the first place. If you’re willing to face 20 years just to drive drunk then there’s probably a lot of other fucked up shit you’re willing to do.

Looks like drunk drivers kill a lot more people than rifles do. Hey I’m just saying if it’s just about saving lives then this is probably a pretty good idea. Fuck, maybe they’ll just ban cars and alcohol instead. Wouldn’t that suck?

First of all, it references actual facts and the results of people looking into issues, instead of just pointing out a bunch of coincidences and making horrible accusations about people.

In that case that isn’t enough, I would refer you again to the snopes link I posted, but we’re making the assumption that because a shortish rebuttal video did not address every claim made in the original video that those claims have no counterpoints.

More to the point, I would argue that if you were interested in whether or not those claims were true, you would have already looked into them, instead of passively agreeing with the video (“I’m not saying, I’m just saying/I wouldn’t be surprised if…”).

False equivalency, try again scrub…

Well here is something interesting. Police are not legally obligated to offer their services to you, meaning, they aren’t obligated to help or protect you.

Protection is your obligation, not the police or government institution.

No, its not guns. Its people who are dumb. Accept the fact that people are stupid.

It’s about saving lives bro didn’t you know? I just made a proposal that would save thousands. Oh yeah I forgot it’s about gun violence. Lets go after the rifles, yeah that’s what everyone is using to kill each other.

Am I wrong here? Did they not say its about saving lives? I guess it’s just a specific response to mass shootings but its not hard to do a mass shooting with other weapons that aren’t considered assault rifles. In the end, it’s not going to save lives.

it was sarcasm dude. I brought this up, and specs said false/poor equivalency when its not.
