When will the madness stop?

They clearly need gun control. Those crazy guns just running around killing people all by themselves.

I didn't know I was trying to make a point in the first place. Like the title says: "Breaking News"....

Neither you nor I are there. But somebody on my FB friends list is and he's posting stuff that hasn't hit the news yet.

If it's published on the Vancouver Sun newspaper it obviously has hit the news.

[Seth Manson]

Those crazy guys.

[CDSmith]

I love this thread already.

Keep going. :D


Someone post the video of that "Canadian car chase."

[AaronM]

If it's published on the Vancouver Sun newspaper it obviously has hit the news.

Agreed. So, once the details I'm seeing are posted there, then they will be up to date.

That's the thing with "breaking news", it's usually missing a bit of info and can be misleading.

Something going down in Australia right now as well...

(NYTimes) Sydney Hostage Siege Ends With Gunman and 2 Captives Dead as Police Storm Cafe

Gunman in Sydney Had Long History of Run-Ins With the Law

SYDNEY, Australia — The gunman who seized hostages in a downtown Sydney cafe and was killed in a police raid early Tuesday was known to both the police and leaders of Muslim organizations as a deeply troubled man with a long history of run-ins with the law, including a pending case involving the killing of his former wife.


Was there not a total ban on guns in OZ at some point?

How many school shootings per capita in the USA per year compared to not just Canada but any other first world civilized country?

Not sure it can be called a shooting if nobody was shot....

Who cares?

Here's what I find interesting....

"some 20yr old kid had a fight at home, stabbed someone... left his house on foot, took a loaded pistol. left his loaded (and completely illegal) ak47 at home...

was wandering through the trails out here...

realised cops were after him, carjacked a lady

raced up the hill, got caught.

to my understanding, no shots fired at all today"


Hand guns and AK-47's in Canada? Say it's not so!

Well of course. Canada is a developed nation and firearms aren't completely illegal. Whenever there is a source of legal firearms, there is going to be a corresponding source of illegal firearms. It stands to reason that SOME gun violence is going to happen.

The tone of your posts is almost like you're trying to suggest that Canada and the United States share similar issues in regards to guns and illegal use of them. That can't be though because that would just be stupid.

Why are you dodging the question? You were trying to push an agenda and failed.

The tone of my post is clearly sarcastic and a sign of me fucking around on GFY.

I'm not dodging any question. You can find the answers on your own, the have nothing to do with this thread.

[Rochard]

You don't know what fear is until your kid's school goes into lock down because a man with an assault rifle is killing people near by. Happened a few months ago here in Sacramento.

We need to lock down our schools, period.

We also need to educate dumb sheeple like yourself who think every gun is an "assault rifle".

[Rochard]

They used an AR15, which is the same exact thing as a M16.

I'm not going to be trolled by you today. Like I said, when your kid's school is locked down because a man with an AR15 has killed multiple people.... That's when you get really scared.

[Bryan G]

Aaron, please tell me do you not find it concerning that there are so many school shootings in the US compared to any where else in the world? Before you list off Pakistan, Iraq etc. I am talking about regular countries.

[PR_Glen]

The tone of my post is clearly sarcastic and a sign of me fucking around on GFY.

that's fine, i just didn't see it as sarcasm.

we have our own problems here too, just rare it involves any machine guns.

We also need to educate dumb sheeple like yourself who think every gun is an "assault rifle".

ok i goof on rochard more than anyone here i'm sure, but there's no way in hell i'd accuse him of not knowing rifle types...

[slapass]

i get that you are pro gun. But also you have to understand how dumb you look doing that, right?

[xNetworx]

Why are so many gun fanatics in the US fat slobs?

[Best-In-BC]

Hey look, no one got shot

[AaronM]

They used an AR15, which is the same exact thing as a M16.

Fucking ignorant sheep. Educate yourself so you stop posting this kind of stupid shit.

[AaronM]

Aaron, please tell me do you not find it concerning that there are so many school shootings in the US compared to any where else in the world? Before you list off Pakistan, Iraq etc. I am talking about regular countries.

I find the shooting of any innocent people shooting to be concerning. The location is irrelevant.

[Seth Manson]

LoL!! It's exactly the same, except for the differences!

[AaronM]

that's fine, i just didn't see it as sarcasm.

The same for the U.S. In fact, I'm not aware of any recent shootings here that involved machine guns.

ok i goof on rochard more than anyone here i'm sure, but there's no way in hell i'd accuse him of not knowing rifle types...

You're kidding right? From the things I've seen him post, he doesn;t know jack shit aobut guns or gun laws. Proof is in this ignorant statement...

They used an AR15, which is the same exact thing as a M16.

[AaronM]

i get that you are pro gun. But also you have to understand how dumb you look doing that, right?

Are you addressing me?

I posted a thread with breaking news based on initial reports that were inaccurate.

I poked fun at Canadians, as I often do.

If you think that makes me look dumb, so be it.

Or, perhaps you were referring to Rochard and his dumb post about how an AR-15 & M16 are exactly the same?

Not sure which you are referring to....

[AaronM]

Hey look, no one got shot

Thank you capatain obvious. Way to stay on top of the conversation!

[AaronM]

Fuck if I know. What's your insight on the topic?

[Bryan G]

So why do you refuse to see the usa has a problem with gun violence?

[CDSmith]

If we're going to start in about school shootings (which this clearly wasn't), here's an interesting true story.... The first time I ever heard of this happening was in the late 70's. The term "school shooting" hadn't even been invented yet. The older brother of a girl I was in Jr high with took his dad's shotgun to school one day. When challenged by his art/drafting teacher he told him he was intending to draw the gun. A short time later he blasted one of his classmates with it, after which the gun jammed. Since he was bullied by more than just the one guy people have wondered (including myself) just how many kids would have gotten killed that day.

It's a long read but worth it.... When school shootings were unthinkable - Winnipeg Free Press
Mostly written from the perspective of a teacher who was actually there that day.

Btw, Vaughan Pollen, the student who killed fellow student Ken Maitland with one blast from a shotgun, was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

This went down a good 20-odd years before "Columbine" and all those high-profile ones covered by CNN in the 90's.

I got curious one day a few years back and looked up the history of school shootings around the world and was quite surprised at the stats. To see countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Australia, etc on the list was quite surprising to me. The US may have the most of any other country but more happen outside of America than you might think.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting

Some of the earliest ones listed happened as far back as the 1880's. Banning of guns doesn't seem to determine which countries will or won't have school shootings.

[AaronM]

So why do you refuse to see the usa has a problem with gun violence?

Huh? You're as bad as Roctard putting words into my mouth.

Kindly show me one place where I have ever said that.

I'll be waiting....

Sorry to bring the insults so low as to make the comparison....

That sounds like an awesome milf dating site.
