A collective of anonymous internet denizens who band together in this amorphous club on a website. They are chaotic neutral in that they do "good" and bad and in-between.

Like Nebraska, there are many thousand of them with no clear leader.

They also post a lot of porn.

I am willing to bet that 4chan could have dug into that youtube post and in 15 hours had his address, phone number, photos, and his school info. The fuck is our FBI doing?

Man, the clueless citizen's expectation on government agencies is stellar (happens to coincide with a partisan grind, but nbd). Even if you believe this is somehow how gun ownership is supposed work (just sprinkle in occasional domestic terrorism) LOCAL departments would be the closest thing to hoping we could/can prevent future instances. Is that realistic? No. But, traveling 10 echelons up the bureaucratic food chain shaking your finger because you thought the agency full of 75% accountants was going to mitigate disaster caused by a non-affiliated, high school failure, lone wolf (Presuming. I could be wrong), then, ya, you are probably going to have a convenient (though unproductive/misguided) scapegoat for remainder of time.

Current gun violence climate is untenable, but can't be remedied by any left/liberal proposal. eliminating guns doesn't work. confiscating guns doesn't work.

Great post on reddit, essentially the TL;DR: We glorify the gun. It isn't another practical tool afforded to us by 2nd amendment, it is the tool.

So, when we have unstable (teenagers) or unstable (young adults), we can call them terrorists or mentally ill for the next 50 years, it won't make a difference -- we can waste time downplaying how the shooter resonates with one side more than the other, then switch roles when the arch-type says so.

Caveat to try and prevent singular point picking:
-yes there are actual terrorists.

We have people breeding in this country, both sides of the aisle, that preach how vital possession of firearms is -- and that they are the end of debates that we can't settle diplomatically and that they are the only fail-safe, however existential, in the event that our earthly overlords decide to clamp down the proverbial un-American vice grip.

I'm not even arguing that isn't possible.

But, searching for every possible reason to blame any entity or group is what we've already been doing. It does nothing. There can be a conversation about shifting gun culture that doesn't involve regulating/restricting/confiscating firearms.

LOL. I would like "AA Describes Internet Constituencies" to be an ongoing thing.

Doesn't seem like it, as long as the industry sells as much fear as it does weapons. Smarter anyways to just do the obvious thing the rest of the world has done. Sometimes politicians have to tell people to Wiz the fuck up and then go ahead and do the right thing. If they are never willing to do so, that's bad.

I have Wiz? copyrighted jackass...you owe me $1000.

You missed the irony, you claim it's the industry that sells fear (assuming you mean fear that the dems are coming to take the guns)

followed immediately with a call to do what other countries have done (and presumably ban guns)








Who is the one selling fear?

[crashcourse]

do you really think if this vegas shooter didn't have access to assault weapons or this cruzfuck didn't have access to assault weapons they wouldn't have found another way to spread their evil with subsequent catrastrophic results.

I don't know the answer --banning weapons of certain types might stop the spur of the moment killer

these foks aren't spur of the moment killers
