You're viewing a single thread.
anyone blaming guns here are just as bad as blaming youtube or reddit.
One shoots off your mouth, the other shoots bullets

All are tools that need a human behind them to make a choice in order to operate.
So does a forklift and that requires a certification!
what about that would have changed the Buffalo shooting?
I don't know anything about it, I can't say for sure. Probably the guy couldn't get a gun, if I'd have to say.
You're arguing that getting a license would somehow prevent this shooting? The kid bought the guns legally as it is. They were not illegally obtained. So getting a license is just one more hoop to jump through. It wouldn't have stopped anything, IMO.
The thing about hoops is that they do prevent a lot of things.
Not all of them, but a lot.
"Ah, that's too much to bother" is surprisingly a good deterrent.
Dangerous tools need schooling and licenses to operate.
What about that would have chnaged the Buffalo shooting?
If you don't believe online words can sway people's beliefs/opinions or drive them to action then why are you leaving this comment here?
I didn't say that. You're putting words into my mouth. It still took a human to take up arms and use a tool. Youtube alone didn't do this. Reddit alone didn't do this. Guns alone didn't do this. Training and a license would not have prevented this.
Now you're putting words into everyone else's mouth. Who said any of those things are solely responsible for this tragedy? Why are you arguing as if the shooter is walking free while prosecutors go after YouTube and Reddit?
Then why are they suing Youtube and Reddit if they don't think those platforms are responsible? I'm saying that you people want to blame every fucking other thing in the world, EXCEPT for the person doing the fucking crime. How am I arguing that the shooter is free? I'm literally saying, this kid would have likely done this with or without those things and the stupid idea that a license would prevent it is asinine.
How am I arguing that the shooter is free?
This right here:

The shooter is facing his day in court as will the companies who helped drive him to commit this tragedy.
lol, ok. sure buddy. Any yet we get constant cries for the removal of guns because without guns this wouldn't happen right?
Not sure what this has to do with the rest of the discussion, but no I don't think mass shootings would be very common if guns didn't exist.
