It is much harder to kill someone by stabbing them than by shooting them, though.

All i know is Iâd rather be dealing with a USA where itâs much harder to have some kid roll around with a gun in his hand that he got from who knows where. Plus you have a bit more room to survive a knife attack over some one with a weapon where they can pick you off from a range where you canât even contest them.
Donât see the US getting into a drug war state where having those guns easily accessible to people who donât value life is necessary.
Thatâs my take. Other than that Iâd rather focus on Fuudos win and gettin gud in ranked

The feel of responsibility is not enough. Youâve got to actually be able to fire a gun. For example i fire pretty acurately with godd old AK74 from 100 meter distance. Give me a pistol and a body sized target at 25 meter distance and i wont score a hit. Any bullet missed is a risk to hurt somebody uninvolved.
When we where in military training in university people joking about how they fucked up weapon handling made me so mad because bullets were ricocheting off the walls and floor and could actually hit someone.
That is what I mean with proficiency tests.
No one that canât handle a gun properly should have one. It is too dangerous.
I go to the range every so often to shoot some .38 revolvers and a .44-40 carbine to keep my gun proficiency sharp.
So if I ever get a hold of one I will know how to handle it properly.
You got to respect them.

The fact that fucking elementary schools now a days have active shooter drills like I had fire drills back in the day tells me that there is a god damn problem that needs to be solved. Think about that for a second. Kids have to go to school worrying about the possibility of being shot up in a place that they are supposed to be super safe and growing and learning.
I personally have no clue what the solution is though, and itâs not an easy answer.

Thereâs no solution. If you know someone has a gun you have the rights to have a gun too, because he can enter in your home and squeeze that shit on you. Thatâs the American state of mind. If I encounter a girl on the streets she can call the cops because I have a dick? Hey, with that I can potentially assault her. See how stupid it is? The fear of getting shot down convince people to get a gun and shot down the enemy first. And at the end everybody has a gun. Too late.

There may not be all end all solution, but thereâs gotta be a solution to cut back on this shit happening. And anyone who thinks that the easy access to guns isnât a major reason for it is just delusional.

With the amount of guns moving through the US, legal or illegal, what is the solution?
Well for starters, make it WAY harder to legally get them. That would be a start. Itâs way too easy to legally get guns as it is now.
They require some type of ârenewalâ process every few years, like how you have to re-register your cars every year or so. But make it also involve some kind of psych eval.
I also think the argument about âwe canât change the 2nd amendmentâ is really stupid since it was created at a completely different time in history. If you remember, we used to also sell and trade slaves in this country but that has changed.
Times change, laws and rules need to follow.
EDIT:
And with that Iâll stop talking about this here, this really isnât the thread for this discussion.
What I want to see from Season 4 in terms of general changes:
- V-Reversal buffs. If you donât want to speed them up, fine, but increase the pushback on block at least.
- An extra 10% damage scaling on crush-counters and a general nerf to crush-counter buttons. They need to be riskier to use than they are, not half of your gameplan. If you have an actual read, great! Big reward! If not? Oh no, big punish. Remember that principle? Risk / Reward?
- Additional recovery frames on all V-Trigger activations / cancels. Theyâre too positive off blocked normals and raw activation pauses cause too many stalemate situations at the end of rounds where you can hit two buttons to react to anything with a 1 bar invincible move.
- Reduce the amount of time needed to begin recovering stun from the last hit / block. It takes too fucking long in a game where itâs so easy to badger with mids / lights.
- Increase white life recovery speed. Maybe it doesnât have to be as fast as S1, but what the fuck, white damage might as well be real damage as it is.
- Buff walkspeeds, nerf dashes. I know this one will never happen though because too many characters are designed around dash in setups.
The sad part is I donât see anything changing. Mass shootings are basically natural disasters. Thereâs no rhyme or reason to them. They just occur randomly. I feel awful whenever I see people lose their lives over nothing. The sickening feeling never goes away.
Confirmed to be the little bitch Bread from Baltimore.
Going back to FGs, I am only being able to maintain a 35%~40% win ratio with Falke so far. 
I am so bad at this Street Fighter thing. Why canât it be more KOF like?
Well, at least my favourite gay guy Fuudo won the CPT premier today.
Thereâs been at least 3 that were very much preventable but the ball was dropped: Pulse Night club, Texas church and Parkland in Florida.
- The wife snitched her husband to the FBI but they dropped the ball.
- The Airforce fucked up reporting that the guy was a spousal abuser (which wouldâve prevented him from buying guns) so he was able to obtain them.
- FBI was contacted numerous times about him but never did any proper investigating.
Youâd be surprised how much current laws work when people arenât fucking them up.
Problem is that guns available period is why they get used. When they arenât available, people use other things when they want to wild out. You already have to go through a lot of steps to buy a gun. People just donât know you have to so they say random things.
Take my AR-15 Set to Full Semi-Automatic mode. Thatâs a bullshit ass statement that nobody called me out on. The fact that nobody did is why we canât have a good conversation on this: you have to be at least informed to how these things function before you can make suggestions.
A lot of the people in this thread donât know Tom from Jerry when it comes to guns. That in itself is fine, but youâre not going to accomplish anything against people well versed in them. Educate yourselves on how guns actually function, fire one if you get a chance, and look up the laws in your states/countries.
Donât be next level Clown Shoes ass Frost when it comes to a complicated issue.
Whatâs a full semi auto?
I see weâre already in the âconcern-troll about other nationsâ violence who donât have easy access to gunsâ phase of the Mass Shooting Cycle. Cool.
How about that Fuudo, huh? Great stuff. Mika might be good.
Ah yes, the day has come.
The garbage fire that is the âmuh gunsâ debate has reached SRK and competitive gaming as a whole.
Sincere condolences to the ones in Jacksonville.
Shitâs fucked up.
Also, America can keep their guns for all I care, I really donât care.
Just be aware that senseless shootings will always be a part of it as well.
Itâll take a lot of directly afflicted individuals before legislation changes.
A dishonest phrase used by news corporations to scaremonger. It was used in some silly ass news report and a friend of mine and I had a great laugh at it. I can also use it to play âspot the people who donât know much about the issueâ since its so nonsensical that itâd get called out by people who understand the issues.
Pretty good article about guns in general:
This topic is very serious. Problem is that by and large the people who want gun laws passed are the most uneducated on the topic. If you want to have a fruitful conversation, then you need to be educated on how they work, what their differences are, why Mexicoâs/Brazilâs gun laws are of concern to gun owners in the U.S., special issues involving the 2nd amendment (what happens when you recover from a mental illness and want to protect yourself) etc.
If you could barely hold a candle to me half trolling then you need to read up more on the issue. It is complicated for a vast amount of reasons.
So please, donât pull a Frost and talk out of your ass because you need to grandstand. Get educated and move the dialogue forward. Also donât make the assumption that all legal gun owners fall under one party. The friend that I go shooting with every once in a while didnât vote for Trump. Donât assume all of a personâs politics based on how they feel about the 2nd amendment.
This is such a bullshit copout excuse from gun nutters. You donât have to be a fucking gun expert to make suggestions on how to help solve the problem.
Also comparing stuff like running down a crowd of people with a truck that rarely happens as a comparison to mass shootings that happen almost weekly now is just face palm worthy.
The fact that youâve already made up your mind is actually the reason that we canât have good conversations with people such as yourself. Thereâs nothing that is going to be said that will ever change your mind.
More people die in the US from cars than they do fire arms. If youâre trying to save lives, ban cars.
If you didnât know the fact aforementioned fact, then you arenât ready to argue with gun people.
