Jealous ?

Closer to a day. 288 this year, but school's out, so we'll just have some mall and church shootings to close out the season.

WT actual F is a 2A? Sounds like a school class? Do we shoot it?

Types 2a because they can't spell ammendment

Fuck, just wait until they come up with a bump-stock-2A

Well, a special parliament meeting has been called already. Our constitution is quite malleable and I think most parties will agree on stricter gun laws. The gun was legally carried by the perpetrator after all, despite his mental instability and online posts suggesting he premeditated the act.

Also, I expect more training at schools: the killer killed his father first before heading to the faculty, and they had been warned. A partial evacuation was conducted but turned out to be ineffective.

One shooting in a country is not proof that the right to bear arms is a public danger. As one might note from the equally isolated incidents in the countries without the right.

288 school shootings in a country that is hardly alone in that right is instead proof of a cultural disease.

What was that thing with "Under no pretext" I'm sure that it's not that important

Nah this is a bad take.

Gun law is complicated, they can definitely be used to enhance the violence someone with ill intent can do but social conflicts generally drive it. I mean I'm aussie, we have a fair bit of gun control but still basically anyone who isn't a drongo can get one (although atm I'm in appeals because apparently ADHD precludes me lmao, yep defs don't want shooters getting mental health treatment! Should encourage them to hide it!). We actually have quite a few, almost all bolt/lever action rifles but. Handguns have a lot of commitment and training required which is reasonable since they're for target shooting and people murdering.

We have social issues involving violence, mostly femicide DV stuff, we don't really have the shooters. We don't get the stuff like acid attacks or stabbings that you get over in like the UK or whatever. Someone can do a shitload of harm with lots of thing, a slow firing rifle isn't substantially more dangerous than a car, improv bomb, or crude chemical weapon.

No, but definitely in less than one year.

I love how the Wikipedia article only lists the most horrific school shootings in the US, since it is too much work to list all of them.

USA! USA! USA!

I am Czech and I hate their name more than people calling us Eastern Europe. They have nothing to do with the prestigious Charles University or any other institution in Prague. Even worse, "Prager" roughly means "Prague (adj)" in German and possibly other languages.

is about as difficult and costly as getting a drivers license.

Note that German driver's licenses are notoriously difficult to get by the standards of most other countries, especially the US.

I'd like to add that a driver's licence in germany costs 2000€ and you can't get it at school lol

I’m Czech and our culture prides itself in gallows humor.

Way to make the year's darkest day even darker!

Easy answer. Used too much. An especially weak argument when the one finding it "funny" is never from the area it's happening in, and thus doesn't actually have any emotional connection they're needing to cope with.

You know there are still a couple recordings floating around from people who had tried to call family and/or 911 prior to dying in 9/11? I've found anyone who listens to those seems to stop making the 9/11 jokes. Strikes me odd. Must have made it real.

You need a sense of humor about things.

There's the quote,

Laugh to keep from crying
